| Q |
|
What
can I do to make sure my baby is healthy? |
| A |
|
•
Make sure your baby gets all required immunizations.
• Use a properly installed
car seat; 90% of all car seats are installed or used improperly
and more children die in improperly used car seats than in unrestrained
seating; make certain you're using your car seat properly.
• Never shake your baby. You
could injure his or her brain.
• Do not lift your baby by
one arm, the result could be nursemaid's elbow-a painful dislocation
of the arm. |
