Some infant care questions from a 40week pregnant new mom?
Jul 15, 2007 by ~∂Їβ~ | Posted in Newborn & Baby
1. How to give your newborn a sponge bath? I mean, can I use a waschcloth? Do I start out with a damp one with soap, then a damp one with water? I've never given one but know you have to until the umbilical cord falls off.
2. If you put
1. Yes, that is how you do it. I like to wrap the baby in a towel and then do part by part so that the baby doesn't get cold.
2. I think it is a good idea to use ointment every change to avoid getting a bad rash. I also think it is good

In foster home, DCFS letter gave paper-thin authority
Carolyn Lowe took custody of two infant boys and kept them for years without any court approval. Her only authority: two form letters issued to her by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services.
The state agency gave the custodial letters to Lowe even though it had previously put her foster parent license on hold and had removed a child from her home.
DCFS officials say they have issued "potentially thousands" of such letters to caregivers declaring that they have custody of children, with the expectation that they will soon get a judge's approval. But because the letters are undated, and because DCFS did not always follow up, some guardians such as Lowe have had years-long custody with no court oversight.
Child welfare advocates say the use of the letters could be illegal and could potentially put children in danger.
Years before Lowe took custody of the two boys in 2006 and 2007, child welfare workers found several problems with her foster home. A child was scalded in a bathtub, but Lowe said she rubbed "burn cream" on his wounds rather than take him to the hospital. A male resident of the home was accused twice of sexually abusing a 3-year-old girl there, and a 15-year-old boy in Lowe's custody used an illegal gun from the home to commit suicide, court records show.
Last month, following questions raised by the Tribune, DCFS removed the two boys, now ages 2 and 4, from Lowe's home. Child welfare officials say they have begun an investigation into whether one of the boys was abused while in Lowe's care.
Lowe's case is a stark example of how the DCFS letters have been used in some cases to keep children out of the foster care system without safeguards such as home background checks and home visits, child advocates said. It also points to problems with DCFS' screening of caregivers who were provided custodial letters.
"It outrages me," said Cook County Public Guardian Robert Harris, whose office will represent the two boys when their cases come into Juvenile Court later this month. "They didn't do one check. Not even one."
