What about cruising with infants?
If you are travelling with an infant(s), cruising is among the most convenient holiday options. Some ships offer private babysitting for services for infants as young as three months. Often the sitter is a crew member working on their off-hours and with some experience babysitting. Most ships upon request provide cribs as well as high chairs and booster seats in the dining room. If you need to store or heat up some milk or formula, you'll find the onboard staff willing to assist.Talc is used on babies because it absorbs unpleasant moisture. Clearly, dusting with talcum powder endangers an infant's lungs at the prospect of inhalation. Exposing children to this carcinogen is unnecessary and dangerous. Do not buy or use products containing talc. It is especially important that women not apply talc to underwear or sanitary pads. Contact your pediatrician and/or local hospital and find out if they have a policy regarding talc use and infants.

Even the few cases we have in the U.S. could very quickly become tens or hundreds of thousands of cases if we stopped vaccinating.Infants under the age of 12 months have more serious illness from pertussis and they are more likely to have complications and be hospitalized than persons in other age groups. In the 1990s, about two thirds of infants reported with pertussis were hospitalized.
How much has the reporting of pertussis among infants increased in the U.S.?
The case-reports of pertussis among infants younger than 5 months have been increasing since the 1980s. This age group is too young to be well protected by DTaP (diphtheria and tetanus toxoids and acellular pertussis) vaccine. For example, the number of case-reports among infants younger than 5 months was about 600 per year in the early 1980s, and about 1,700 per year at the end of the 1990s.In May of 2000, CDC released revised Growth Charts for children of all ages.
