News & Notes By Eileen Adams * If you're a smoker who gave up , smoking during pregnancy, but now picked up your habit again, take nottt. You still may be harming your bab>. In a recent study of 433 infants who lived in households where someone smokes, 60 percent had a chemical in their blood which signified smoke absorption: cotinine. Unfortunately, efforts to blow smoke away from the baby make no difference. Nor did it matter if the baby was in a separate room from the smoker. The bottom line is — for the sake of you and the baby — quit smoking. If you can't, smoke outdoors for the sake of the baby^ * If your newborn cries all the lime, j;J yet you resist the urge to pick him or = herlipforfearofspoiling.youshould ; know thatexperts beiieve ‘‘spoiling’’ : cannot occur in very new newborns/ In fact, babies aren't aware of their i being spoiled until sometime after they are 4 or 5 months old! * Nutrition experts have been tell ing all of us for years to eat a healthy, well-balanced breakfast to get us go ing each day. For kids, it may be even more important than originally thought. Nutritionists recently found that children who skip breakfast have significantly higher cholesterol lev els than those who eat a regular! bal anced breakfast. Theories for this in clude the breakfast skippers who eat lots of junk food the night before or, because their hunger is at full throttle, devour hordes of junk food during school lunch. Whatever the reason, there’s just another argument for get ting the fuel in your kids early in the day. * While your kids may not think it’s “cool,” perhaps one of the single most kind things you can do to protect your child’s safety and well being is to invest in a bicycle helmet. Head injuries can be the most dreadful and the most common of injuries to child cyclists, yet recent statistics show that , severe head injuries can be reduced by nearly three-fourths if a helmet is worn. Enough said for getting your kid a safety helmet? Questions and comments for Eileen Adams should be sent to: Eileen Adams, “You and Your Child,” c/o Tribune Me dia Services, 64 E. Concord Street, Or lando, FL 32801. THE HOME GAME By Virginia Truax HOLIDAY HAZARD — Turkey and meat grease stains should be treated by dampening the stain and rubbing with an enzyme detergent. Then wash in hottest temperature safe for fabric. Caution: Make sure slain is removed before putting in the dryer or ironing, since that will set the stain. MEMORY JOGGER — Before you forget, file away a list of this year’s Christmas exchanges, includ ing your homemade food gifts. It will be helpful next year. PICK ME UP — Houseplants seem to love many leftover liquids — stale club soda, weak tea and even th water eggs have been boiled in. Giv it a try. NEW LEASE ON LIFE—Weak AA batteries can be used for many months in small clocks which require very little electricity. MAKE DO — Don’t overlook a lipped cookie sheet as a good lap tray for children when traveling or con fined to bed. Food, crayons or pencils won’t slip off!
