Having a new baby in the family can bring extra special meaning to the holidays, but it can also create extra tension as everyone jostles for your little one's attention. With careful planning, lots of communication and a willingness to put your new family first, your holiday can be just the way you want it.

Although crying is perfectly normal for a baby, it can be distressing for you and her. Colic, or extreme crying for no apparent reason, typically occurs between three weeks and three months of age, lasts more than three hours a day, at least three days a week and at least three consecutive weeks. Doctors don't know what causes it, but it usually goes away by itself by the time she reaches three months. In the meantime, try calming her with soft talking or singing or a gentle ride or walk.

Got an energetic toddler who can’t wait to play outside in the cold or snow? Help keep him comfortable by dressing him in layers so you can remove and add layers as he heats up and cools down. Choose fabrics other than cotton - cotton does not add warmth. Thermal and wool clothing is good, and waterproof pants and boots are ideal for snow. Don’t forget his hat; body heat can escape from a bare head.
