As we learned in a recent episode of the " Bored and Curious " podcast by Mary Katz with one of Brooks' longtime songwriting partners, Kent Blazy, record execs thought making it with a name like Garth was a long shot. In discussing the origins of the first song Blazy and Brooks wrote together, "If Tomorrow Never Comes," Blazy shares the backstory of shopping it around: "And so we wrote this song, and we thought it was a really great song.
Uh, Garth did a little guitar vocal in my studio that day, and we pitched it around town for, I don't know, maybe a year and nobody was interested in it and nobody was interested in him. They said, 'he'll never get a record deal with a name like 'Garth,'" Blazy recalls.
Needless to say, these naysayers had things very wrong about Mr. And somebody from Capitol Records who had passed on Garth for the third time that week heard him sing 'If Tomorrow Never Comes' and said, 'Hey, why don't you come back in?
Maybe we missed something,'" Blazy continued. And, 'If Tomorrow Never Comes' was his second single and his first number one record. So, from when we wrote it, he was cleaning churches and selling boots. We definitely have a whole new appreciation for the name Garth Brooks now. Loved listening to Blazy on the podcast?
His latest album, Authentic , is out now, wherever music is sold and streams. This particular mom confirmed that she did have cracked nipples—thanks to her baby's newly erupted teeth—and they were the source of the blood.
If your infant appears ill, vomits a large amount of blood, spits up blood after a formula feeding, or projectile vomits, see a doctor immediately.
First-time parents brought their month-old to my emergency room because her skin had turned orange. She'd had jaundice at birth , and the parents were told to return if her skin became yellow again. But I knew this baby wasn't jaundiced because her eyes remained white and her skin was orange, not yellow. This is a very common phenomenon called "carotenemia," caused by eating a lot of vegetables that are rich in beta-carotene.
Babies prefer the sweet taste of carotene-rich foods like sweet potatoes and carrots, and many first foods that aren't orange are high in beta-carotene too.
You just can't see it in veggies like spinach and broccoli, because the green chlorophyll pigment covers it up. Carotenemia, which doesn't affect adults, happens because of the way baby food is manufactured. The extensive cooking, mashing, and pureeing of vegetables breaks open plant fibers in a way that our teeth can't, making more carotene to be absorbed by the baby's intestines.
So when a baby has eaten more carotene than they need, the extra is released with sweat and it stains the skin. In fact, the first place you'll see the orange color is where babies have the most sweat glands: the nose, the palms, and the soles of the feet. Honestly, never. As your baby's diet changes, the orange color will fade. If you continue to serve lots of foods rich in beta-carotene, their skin will stay orange, but it's harmless. A grandmother who was babysitting called an ambulance after her 3-week-old granddaughter paused repeatedly while breathing.
The contented, sleeping baby would breathe rapidly for about 20 seconds and then stop breathing altogether. The woman feared the baby had inherited her husband's sleep apnea. Although this intermittent breathing can look alarming, "periodic breathing" is common. Babies normally breathe faster than older children because their lungs are small relative to the size of their body. However, researchers suspect that the reason for irregular breathing is that the chemical sensors that detect carbon dioxide aren't fully developed in a newborn.
This means that babies sometimes just don't know they need to breathe, and they pause until carbon dioxide levels become high enough to trigger these sensors. If your baby ever has a blue or gray color around her mouth, or seems to be struggling to breathe, contact your doctor immediately. One mom brought her 2-month-old daughter into the emergency room because the baby hadn't had a bowel movement in five days.
She would grunt, turn red in the face, and her stomach would become hard, but only a bit of soft poop would come out. It can be quite jarring to see your newborn struggle to poop , but remember that they're lying down, which makes it harder to get the stool out. I explained to the mom that it's fine for a baby to poop as infrequently as once a week. As the gut becomes more efficient and better at digestion, after 6 to 8 weeks, it takes longer for the body to produce a lot of poop. Talk to your doctor if your baby's poop is hard or looks like pellets signs of constipation , or if your child doesn't poop daily during the first month of life.
It can signal a rare problem with the nerves controlling the rectum. By Wendy Hunter, M. Updated September 01, Save Pin FB More. Baby Crying Mother Console. Originally published in the January issue of Parents magazine. Parents Magazine. Be the first to comment!
