1. Weight gain, hirsutism, and muscle weakness are signs of Cushing's Syndrome.
2. Dehydration, metabolic acidosis, and hypotension are signs of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia. Hyperglycemia, ketonuria, and glycosuria are signs of diabetes mellitus.

1. AAP recommends that all infants be placed on their backs for sleep in a bare naked crib. This means just a fitted sheet, no bumpers, blankets, pillows or toys. These are all suffocation hazards. The infant should not be tightly swaddled and arms should be free. Tightly swaddled infants are at risk for overheating and at greater risk for SIDS.
2. A pillow can increase the chance for suffocation
3. The infant should only be placed on her belly when awake and supervised
