Babies, by nature, are very sensitive beings. Therefore, care for them is drastically different from everyone else. Their vulnerable nature makes it easy for them to catch ailments if proper care isn't rendered. They are also very open to injuries due to the nature of their skins and the inability to avert the danger themselves. Thus, there is a critical need to ensure all-around safety and wellness as well as adequate care and treatment.

Questions and Answers

1.

How often should you bathe a newborn baby?
- A.
  
  Once or twice a day
- B.
  
  Once a day
- C.
  
  Once or twice a week
- D.
  
  Every two hours
Correct Answer
C. Once or twice a week

Explanation
Newborn babies do not require daily bathing as their skin is delicate and sensitive. Bathing them once or twice a week is sufficient to keep them clean and prevent their skin from drying out. Over-bathing can strip their skin of natural oils and cause irritation. However, if the baby gets excessively dirty or has a diaper blowout, it is advisable to give them a bath to maintain hygiene.

- A.
  
  8
- B.
  
  10
- C.
  
  12-15
- D.
  
  20
Correct Answer
C. 12-15

Explanation
At 3 months old, babies typically sleep for around 12-15 hours a day. This is because newborns have shorter sleep cycles and need more sleep to support their rapid growth and development. As they grow older, their sleep patterns gradually change, and they start sleeping for shorter periods during the day and longer stretches at night. Therefore, it is normal for a 3-month-old baby to sleep for 12-15 hours a day.

- A.
  
  Using rash cream
- B.
  
  Scrubbing with a loofah
- C.
  
  Acne medicine
- D.
  
  Wash gently with water and soup
Correct Answer
D. Wash gently with water and soup

Explanation
Baby acne is a common condition that affects many newborns. It usually appears as small red or white bumps on the baby's face. The best way to handle baby acne is to wash the affected area gently with water and a mild soap. Scrubbing with a loofah or using acne medicine can irritate the baby's delicate skin and make the condition worse. Using rash cream may not be effective in treating baby acne as it is not caused by a rash. Therefore, the most suitable option is to wash the baby's face gently with water and soap.

A baby's nail is best trimmed through which of the following?
- A.
  
  With baby nail clippers
- B.
  
  With regular nail cutter
- C.
  
  With blade
- D.
  
  With teeth
Correct Answer
A. With baby nail clippers

Explanation
Baby nail clippers are designed specifically for trimming a baby's delicate nails. They have rounded edges and a smaller size to ensure safety and prevent accidental cuts or injuries. Using regular nail cutters or a blade can be dangerous as they may be too sharp or too big for a baby's small nails, increasing the risk of hurting the baby. Trimming a baby's nails with teeth is not recommended as it can cause pain and potential infection. Therefore, the best option is to use baby nail clippers.

Breast milk can be at room temperature for how long?
- A.
  
  4-8 hours
- B.
  
  24 hours
- C.
  
  9 hours
- D.
  
  2 hours
Correct Answer
A. 4-8 hours

Explanation
Breast milk can be at room temperature for 4-8 hours because it contains natural antibodies and enzymes that help to protect it from bacterial growth. This time range allows for safe consumption of the milk without the need for refrigeration. After 8 hours, the milk may start to spoil and should be discarded. It is important to note that if the room temperature is above 77°F (25°C), the milk should be consumed within 4 hours to ensure its freshness and safety for the baby.

Which is not a vaccination for boys>
- A.
  
  Hepatitis A
- B.
  
  Polio
- C.
  
  Chicken pox
- D.
  
  Gardasil
Correct Answer
D. Gardasil

Explanation
Gardasil is not a vaccination for boys because it is primarily used to prevent certain types of human papillomavirus (HPV) infections, which can lead to cervical cancer in females. While Gardasil can also be given to boys to prevent HPV-related diseases such as genital warts and anal cancer, it is not specifically targeted towards boys. On the other hand, Hepatitis A, Polio, and Chickenpox vaccinations are given to both boys and girls to protect against these respective diseases.

Which of the following is the recommended position for a baby to sleep in?
- A.
  
  On their backs
- B.
  
  On their stomach
- C.
  
  On their right side
- D.
  
  On their left side
Correct Answer
A. On their backs

Explanation
The recommended position for a baby to sleep in is on their backs. This is because sleeping on the back reduces the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). It allows the baby to breathe easily and prevents them from getting trapped or suffocated. Sleeping on the stomach or sides can increase the risk of SIDS and should be avoided.
