Will my baby inherit my bad teeth?

FAQ's

Q: My baby loves to bounce in his jumper, is it bad for him?

Frequently Asked Questions; Childrens Hospital San Diego, SD
A: Baby jumpers do encourage your baby to move but also promote movement patterns that are not useful in normal development including tiptoe standing and fast uncontrolled movements. The exercise your baby gets does not promote the development of trunk and leg control or the balance needed for walking.

RE: Can a saved woman abort her baby?

RE: Can a saved woman abort her baby?
Not everyone agrees on what exactly constitutes an abortion. At what point does God consider something a human life, where abortion is the same as murder? It's not perfectly clear in the Bible. (I personally believe, better safe than sinful, so I choose to draw the line at conception.) The thing is, a very high percentage of evangelical women use the Pill or some other hormonal contraceptive. These pills are not foolproof, and occasionally allow an egg to be implanted, and then killed.

Not at all. The paper liner has a one-way action to draw the moisture away from your baby's skin and even before these were available, babies wore cloth nappies for generations. Should your baby have unusually sensitive skin or develop a teething rash, it may help to use fleece liners for a short period of time which help to wick moisture away from baby's skin even more effectively than the paper liner. Our customer careline can help advise you further.
