Why is our baby's skin discol-
ored?
Skin blemishes are common for
babies. Acne and white bumps on the
nose, chin and cheeks are harmless
and usually clear up without treat-
ment. Red spots on the belly are also
common and usually disappear
within a couple weeks of birth.
Flaky skin on the head that looks
like dandruff or is yellow and crusty
is known as cradle cap. It can also
occur on the ears, eyebrows and
under the arms. Another common
skin condition is a pimply rash in
moist areas, such as behind the ears
or in the folds of the neck. For the
rash, wash the skin with cool water
and gently pat it dry. Don't use soap
or any cleanser. With cradle cap, you
can geptly massage the scalp with
your fingers and shampoo baby's
head, more often: ....
Why is our baby's' head so
strangely shaped?
Babies often have heads with
some swelling, lumps, or bruises that
result during the birthing process.
Within a couple weeks, you will see
your baby's head returning to a nor-
mal shape. Contrary to some rumors,
a baby's brain is not impacted when
the head shape is stressed by
birthing.
Why is our baby losing weight?
Most babies lose weight, usually
no more than 8 ounces, during their
first week of life. Nearly all infants
regain this by the end of the second
week of life. Once they develop a
regular feeding schedule, they
should start gaining a pound or a lit-
bout baby care
when you have them. However,
there are times when your baby may
need immediate attention.
Take your baby to an emergency
facility or immediately to your pedi-
atrician if any of these symptoms are
present. Your baby's lips are blue, a
sign that the baby is not getting
enough oxygen. Your baby breathes
hard and fast, seems to be straining
for breath and may have flared nos-
trils - a sign of respiratory distress.
Your baby has skin that becomes
more and more yellow, an indication
that jaundice is advancing rather
than going away naturally as it
should. Your baby has a rectal tem-
perature of 100.4 F or higher. (This
is a serious concern particularly for
babies under three months of age.)

Why does our baby breathe so
irregularly?
Newborns often breathe rapidly,
pant, sigh, or even have short peri-
ods where they don't appear to be
breathing. This is normal and com-
mon. However, if you notice your
baby seems to have frequent periods
where he stops breathing for more
than five seconds, call your pediatri-
cian.
When should we contact our
pediatrician immediately?
You should always feel free to
call your pediatrician to discuss any
concerns. Your pediatrician and staff
are there to answer those questions

I was admiring my neighbor's gar-
den the other day, especially her ro-
bust zucchini plants. I noticed some
tender, young zucchini squash peek-
ing out from under the foliage.
I could almost taste the warm zuc-
chini bread and muffins you can
make. I didn't plant any zucchini
plants this year because I was a little
overzealous planting many different
vegetables. Zucchini plants take more
space than other plants.
I think my neighbor will share a
zucchini or two to try with the recipe
I have included in this week's col-
umn. I noticed the tomatoes in my
garden are getting red and some
onions are getting large enough to
sample, so they will be added to the
garden-fresh recipe, too.
As I pondered my future menu, I
thought back to a story inspired by
one of my children.
"What's that thing?" my daughter
asked as I pulled a zucchini from my
purse after returning home from a
meeting. She was about 8 at the time.
"It's a zucchini," I responded.
"Remember, we had some last sum-
mer."
"Where did you get it?" she asked.
She looked at me a little strangely be-
cause I usually do not pack a zucchini
in my purse.
"Someone gave it to me. Some
years, zucchini grows well, so people
have lots of it to share," I said.
Sometimes they sneak it into your
car or on your doorstep. Sometimes
they hand a zucchini to you as you are
leaving a meeting, and you put it in
your purse, I thought to myself.
"It looks like a squash, but it
smells like the sea," she commented
while examining and sniffing the zuc-
chini.
"It grows in a garden, not under-
water" I told her, although I was a lit-
tle curious about the aroma she
detected. I sniffed it, too. I guess she
thought it smelled like seaweed.
i
I could almost
taste the warm zuc-
chini bread and
muffins you can
make.
"It's time to make something with
it," I told her.
She gamely put on her apron and
went to the sink to wash her hands. I
was pleased. We pulled out our bowls
and measuring cups and made
muffins. She washed and then grated
the zucchini.
"This is really fun," she said.
Cooking with kids not only teaches
them skills, such as measuring and
following directions, it makes some
good memories, too.
A native vegetable of the Ameri-
cas, zucchini has had several names
through the years. Early American
colonists called it "squash" based on
several Native American words. Ital-
ians named it "zucchino" and the
French named it "courgette."
Zucchini also was known as veg-
etable marrow or Italian marrow. It
can be served raw, boiled, baked,
fried, steamed or stuffed. It's used in
numerous quick-bread recipes as cre-.
ative cooks experiment with boun-
teous zucchini.
Zucchini is about 95 percent
water. A 1/2-cup serving has about 15
calories, plus it contributes some
fiber, vitamin C, potassium, B vita-
mins and beta carotene to the diet.
Zucchini's mild flavor makes it
useful in a variety of foods from sal-
ads to dessert. When selecting zuc-
chini in a garden, farmers market or
at the store, choose zucchini that is
heavy for its size with a narrow di-
ameter.
Smaller zucchini are tenderer and
can be sliced for use in soups and
lasagna. Zucchini's mild flavor al-
lows blending with ingredients such
as tomatoes, cheese and onions.
Mature zucchini is tougher and has
large seeds. After removing the seeds,
zucchini can be grated and used in
bread, muffins and other foods. Rinse
zucchini under running water just be-
fore you plan to use it in a recipe. Use
fresh zucchini within a few days for
best quality.
Here's a recipe retrieved from the
national "More Matters" program of
the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention. The program reminds us
that most people need to eat more
fruits and vegetables. You can have
this vitamin C-rich recipe ready to eat
in about 20 minutes from garden to
table. I like to sprinkle it with Parme-
san cheese.
Skillet Zucchini With Chopped
Tomatoes
1 tsp. olive oil or canola oil
1 c. chopped onion
4 small (6-inch) zucchini, thinly
sliced
2 medium tomatoes, chopped
Freshly ground pepper
Grated parmesan cheese (optional)
In a large, nonstick skillet, heat oil
over medium heat; add onions and
cook, stirring until softened. Add zuc-
chini and cook for two minutes. Add
tomatoes and cook for three to five
minutes or until zucchini is tender-
crisp. Season to taste with pepper and
add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if
you wish.
Makes four servings. Each (1 -cup)
serving has 70 calories, 2 grams (g)
of fat, 12 g of carbohydrate, 3 g of
protein, 15 milligrams of sodium and
70 percent of the daily recommenda-
tion for vitamin C.
