Babies are the best. They just are. They feel good
and smell good and bring joy, hope and happiness.
Yet caring for babies can be confusing. And with
today's practice of social distancing amid concerns
related to the COVID-19 pandemic, getting needed
support for your infant's care can be challenging.
With that, this issue offers terrific tips on ways to
keep your baby's nursery germ-free, along with in-
formation on breastfeeding your infant and pointers
on preparing homemade foods when your little one
is ready for solids.
There also are links to articles on when to let you
baby cry-it-out, pacifier use, and why comforting
objects can soothe your little one, along with a link
to HV Parent's showcase of Favorite Pediatricians
and Pediatric Specialists.
Even more is that the issue also features HV Par-
ent's HVP Go-To portal where moms can connect
with questions and answers from medical expertsab-
out their family's health and
wellness.
Whether you're a new
or experienced Mom, there's
nothing quite like the magic
of bringing home a baby. All
the very best to your little
one and your family.
