Babysitting my grandson is also a revelation of new thinking. In my parenting days we used to powder the kid's butt and give him water. No more. Talcum is a no-no, (which helped contribute to that new baby smell), Water is also taboo - all liquid comes from formula. I find this a problem when the kid has the hiccups. I hate having to scare the kid or force him to hold his breath to cure him.
