First Time Uncles And Aunties

''How To Care For Your New Nephew Or Niece''

Letter From The Editor

They have all sorts of parenting books and websites for first time moms and dads, but somehow uncles and aunties are forgotten. Are we meant to automatically know how to care for our new nephew or niece? That is the inspiration behind this guide. A baby impacts on all members of the family, and we will play a crucial role in the new baby's life. This guide offers tips and hints specific for us "soon to be" uncles and aunts. |- |Firstly, here are the items you are going to need. You'll usually find that the baby's parents will have all these items, but make sure they do before you volunteer or get nominated to change a diaper. These are items as suggested by Epinions.com. * Diapers: You have a choice of reusable or disposable. Both do the same job, so it's entirely up to you (or the baby's parents) what option you use. *Changing Pads: You will need something flat and soft to lay the baby on. Both changing tables and pads do the same thing, so again, it's really about working with what the baby's parents already have. *tissues. * Baby Powder: Wearing a diaper all the time can cause skin irritation for the baby. It's always a good idea to use baby powder to prevent rashes. * Clean Baby Clothes: If situations get really messy, it's always good to have some extra baby clothes...just in case. |} !
