Baby Girl: Preslee
0 Months:
1) Q: You are starting to notice that Preslee's crying is rhythmic and moderately loud when she is hungry, wet, or cold. If she is startled, there is a sudden intake of breath and a loud wail, followed by more deep breaths and loud wails. A: You try to respond to the different types of crying by changing, feeding, or soothing little Preslee. 2) Q: Preslee spends most of her time falling asleep, sleeping, or slowly waking up. When she is awake, you take advantage of the waking time by: A) rocking and singing to Preslee.
3) Q: For the first week or so Preslee wasn't very hungry and actually lost a little weight. However, now Preslee has begun to feed heartily and gain some weight back. A: You try to make feeding time as pleasant and relaxing as possible and feed her only as much as she wants.
4) Q: What kind of diapers will you use? The cloth diapers are more environmentally sound, but a lot more work than the disposable diapers. And those diaper safety pins are hard to work on a squirming baby! A: You decide to use the cloth diapers.
5) Q: Will you breast feed Preslee? A: Yes, but we will supplement with formula.

A: give Preslee a lot of audio stimulation, including talking to her, singing to her, and listening to music.
