I’ll admit it, sometimes I think I do. Not often. I do often think that I know as much as she does, at least about the common colds, flus, and viruses.
You can test your knowledge with this basic quiz. I scored 17 out of 20, but I think some of the questions were worded in a confusing manner.
I got the one about heating baby formula in a microwave wrong. I thought you weren’t supposed to do that. But I never used formula so I had no knowledge of this.
I was happy to see that they gave co-sleeping with babies an ok. I have always slept with my babies. In fact, the hospital where I delivered most of my kids encourages co-sleeping. When one of my son’s was hospitalized at 6 weeks old the nurse even let him sleep in the fold out bed with me instead of in the tiny baby crib.
I also got the question wrong about the bandages. I almost always make my kids take their bandages off at night so that the wound can “breathe.”
Oh well, I guess my pediatrician’s job is secure. For now.
How did everyone else do?

Huh. It scored me at 16, but when I read the answers, I only had two wrong, so I’m not sure how it calculates the score.
I had the shopping carts one wrong (because I thought they meant the seat of the shopping cart as opposed to the main body of the cart), and the avoiding alcohol while breastfeeding. No WONDER I couldn’t make my colicky baby pass out from feeding her after I had a glass of wine!
