How to take care of Clara Rose
Daddy’s first big weekend alone with his little girl!
In the morning
When Clara wakes up, don’t forget to give her water, change her diaper, turn of the heater and humidifier.
Breakfast
For breakfast, give Clara some milk, ½ banana, toast strips until she tells you she is all done.
After Breakfast
It is play time and time to change Clara’s clothes.
Naptime #1
When Clara is tired put her down with her lovey and kitty. If it is chilly in her room, turn on her heater. Clara likes to be read to before her nap.
Lunchtime
Clara eats around noon. If you are hungry she is too! Feed her grapes, cheese stick, ½ a turkey slice, and some starch like veggie puffs, cheerios, bread, etc. I give her the starch last. She drinks milk with lunch as well.
After Lunch
This is a good time to get whatever you need to get done outside of the house. Please make sure you bundle her up no matter what her complaints are. AND SHOES SHOES SHOES please.
Naptime #2
Whenever she is tired.
Play time again
Play until dinner. She is most cranky and clingy at this time so don’t expect to get ANYTHING done other than be her sounding board.
Dinner
Mac and cheese is always a popular move. Try and give her at least one fruit or veggie with this meal. There are canned peaches and canned veggies (which I have to go buy so if there aren’t any I forgot to buy them- overcook the ones in the freezer, follow directions). If you get take out, Clara likes pasta or pizza. Make sure she does not eat too much of that or you WILL see it again later.
Bedtime
You know how to do this well so have fun! Give the BBD lots of hugs and kisses from her mommy!
Don’t Forget
1) The baby doll must wear socks and preferably shoes at all times
2) Turn on her humidifier and heater at 77 degrees on oscillate at night
3) Try and keep her hair back so she is not a shaggy dog. A clip is fine, just don’t put her down with the clip to sleep.
