Dear Baby Sitter Handbook - Vicki Lansky
WHEN A BABY WON’T STOP CRYING
•First check for the possible reason: hunger, thirst, wetness, discomfort from being too cool or too warm, a thread from clothes caught between fingers or toes.
•Try one or more of the classic calmers: motion (pick the baby up, dance or walk around with the baby); warmth (wrap the baby in a blanket); soothing sounds (turn on a radio or music or sing to the baby). Maybe a wind-up swing will work. If nothing does, put the baby in the crib for a few minutes—as a breather for yourself—then go in and try again.
WHEN YOU’RE BATHING A CHILD
•If you’re bathing a baby, follow the parents instructions carefully. Have a big towel handy (better yet, pinned around the back of your neck) to receive the wet, slippery little body and keep yourself dry at the same time.
•Never leave a child you’re bathing in the tub alone. NEVER. Let the phone or doorbell ring, or wrap the child in a towel and take him or her with you.
•Try to make a game of bathing if a child is afraid of the bath. Run the water before taking the child into the bathroom and use only a few inches of water.
WHEN IT’S TIME TO EAT
•If you’re feeding an infant, see page 12 for tips on bottles and burping.
•Allow plenty of time for small children. They are often slow eaters. Expect a certain amount of messiness and don’t worry about manners, unless an older child is out of control.
•If a child won’t eat, don’t worry. Offer food (but not cookies or dessert) a little later and don’t make a big deal of it.
•Don’t give food to a child on the run. A child should be seated to minimize the chance of choking.
•Be sure to watch a child in a high chair carefully. Fasten belt or straps securely; don’t turn your back on a child or let a child stand up in the high chair.
WHEN A CHILD GETS WILD
•First of all, try to head off too much excitement for a child. Mix quiet activities with strenuous ones.
•When you can’t avoid excitement, slow the pace with active but not wild play—a run around the outside of a house or a game of
