Newborns might nurse every hour or even constantly at certain time of the day. This is normal behavior for a healthy baby who is gaining weight. It does not indicate that baby is not getting enough milk.

Congenital CMV may cause hearing and vision loss in babies. While it sounds simple, washing your hands often can prevent this infection, especially after wiping a child’s nose or mouth and changing diapers.

Severe jaundice, caused by a high level of bilirubin, can lead to deafness, cerebral palsy, and mental retardation. That is why all newborns should have a test for bilirubin level before going home from the hospital regardless of whether or not they appear to be jaundiced #NPQIC

Although newborn jaundice is very common, call the doctor if:
- Your baby's skin turns more yellow.
- Your baby's abdomen, arms, or legs are yellow.
- The whites of your baby's eyes are yellow.
- Your baby is hard to wake, fussy, or not nursing or taking formula well.

It is normal to feel uncomfortable when a baby cries. Sometimes you might not be able to console her. The most important thing to remember in these situations is not to shake your baby. Shaking a baby can cause blindness, brain damage and death.
