When can the baby ride alone in the back seat?
She should be able to ride back there by herself since birth unless she has issues with something. She will more than likely sleep better or fall asleep once you start driving anyways. My son never had anyone ride in the back seat with him. I knew he was safe because he was strapped in. They wouldn't have made car seats with such high safety standards if they wanted parents to ride next to their child their whole life.
Is it ok to take a 3 week old baby on vacation?
Talk to your pediatrician, but I'm sure he/she will say it's ok. We took our daughter over-seas when she was only a few weeks old (not an option - hubby was relocated). Our ped said it was no trouble at all. Unless you are going to a 3rd workd country, where there will not be adequate sanitation, your baby will be just as fine with you as she will be at home. That young, he or she will pretty much sleep the whole time. If you are nursing, it will be easier, as you won't have bottles to mess with. You just find a quiet corner and curl up for a while in a comfy chair. Keep Baby safe by having a no-touch policy - Only a select few (say, Grandma) are perrmitted to hold the baby, provided that they are well, have not been exposed to any illness and have thoroughly washed their hands. Anyone that simply must touch the baby can be told primly that they are welcome to touch her toes, but not her hands or face. But these are policies you would want to establish when you are in your own home with visitors, anyway. Your OB may have other ideas, though... And so may you, when the time comes. Depending on how long before the trip you give birth, you will have several things to think about. You will still be bleeding, most likely. Make sure you will be able to do what you need to do (eg: spray yourself with water to keep the area clean) You will still be sore. Four hours is an awful long time to be sitting on something that sore. Seriously. Trust me. (9 hr plane ride, 3 hours lay-over, 2 hour plane ride, 4 hours in a car.... I thought I was going to die.) Especially if you tear badly. You will be tired. Really tired. Your body will still be on the mend, not to mention the lack of sleep a baby brings. And, God forbid, if you end up needing a C-section, you will have even more mending to think of. If you do decide to take the trip, try to keep Baby in mind as you drive. Remember, those seats are not the most comfortable. Oh, sure they are all padded around the sides and look comfy, but do a little more scrutinizing and you will discover a seat that you would never want to sit in. Take Baby out every 30-60 minutes to stretch. Feed on demand as you would at home. It can be done, and it's completely up to you. If nothing else you can reserve the place and cancel if you find that you change your mind after Baby comes. Good luck to you!
If the trip to the bottom takes 10.6 s how long is the slope?
h = 1/2gt² {where h = vertical height of drop not the slope length} h = 4.9(10.6)² h = 4.9(112.4) h = 551 m slope length is (h/sin 15) = 551/sin 15 = 2129 m ANS
How old until I take my baby to visit my coworkers?
I wouldn't let fifty people pass a baby around because it's jarring for the baby, not because of the germs. I don't get all these "baby in the plastic bubble" answers. I resumed my normal routines about 2 weeks after having my kids and they were fine. They went grocery shopping with me, restaurants, family get-togethers, and I never had a problem. I didn't wash my nipples before nursing them (as someone actually recommended), I didn't sterilize my entire house, and I didn't meet everyone with hand sanatizer at the front door. Normal hygiene was all we required. Between my three kids, I've only had to make 4 sick appointments at the pediatrician in 19 years. Maybe that's because exposing them to a normal environment built up their immune systems. Sometimes I think all of this concern about germs does the baby more harm that good.
How young can a baby travel on a plane?
Medically, babies can fly at any age, even at day one. Airlines may have their own policies on how old a baby needs to be to fly. Many people recommend giving benadryl to infants during a flight to ease the pressure in the ears. Benadryl does not equalize ear pressure. Its main effect is sedation. So while it seems to help with the ears, in reality it is just putting baby to sleep. Again, the baby will have to learn how to equalize so if you dont give him benadryl, you might find him to be vary fussy. If you're traveling with an infant or small child, you should know that proper use of a child restraint device (CRD) enhances child safety on aircraft. For this reason, Southwest Airlines and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) strongly recommend that infants and small children who weigh under 40 pounds be secured in an appropriate CRD when traveling by air. Traveling with the infant on your lap: One child over 14 days and under two (2) years of age, not occupying a seat, may be carried free with a Customer paying the applicable adult fare. Although a boarding pass is not required, you will need a Boarding Verification Document. Online checkin is not available. Traveling with the infant in an FAA approved car seat: Affordable Infant Fares are available that enable a Customer to reserve a seat for an infant and use his/her FAA approved car seat. A boarding pass is required. Online checkin is available if the infant is traveling on an Infant Fare and is age verified. A birth certificate is required to validate age of all infants under age two. A medical release for travel is required for any infant under 14 days old. Accompanied children ages two through 11 will be charged the applicable Child's Fare for the flight (does not apply to unaccompanied children ages five through 11). Proof of age may be required.
