41. Keep yourself healthy
Keeping the mother healthy is the most important way to improve the health of the baby.
This is because the baby derives it’s nutrition and immune support from breast milk. Be
sure to eat a healthy diet with plenty of fresh vegetables and high quality fats such as flax
and borage seed oils. A good multiple vitamin and mineral supplement may also help.
42. Don’t smoke in the house
Mothers should not smoke or allow others to smoke in the house. A young babies lungs
are still developing and they need plenty of fresh clean air to breathe.
43. Child-proof your home
Your child will soon learn to crawl, and will certainly get into everything. Go through
your home and make certain that everything is secure and safe for a small child.
44. Postpone vaccinations
There is a lot of controversy surrounding vaccinations. It is best to make an informed
decision and there are many books available at bookstores on the subject. Vaccinations for
children should be postponed until the immune system has had a chance to mature, which
occurs after age 2. Many parents are choosing not to have any vaccinations
