There are many things to consider. The age and activities of the baby play a role. Is it a newborn, or is the baby crawling around. I think there is too much to cover in this venue. There are several books available on the subject.
go to walmart and buy the book that tells you every thing you need to know about having a baby and maybe you should look into your finances
look between the legs
Midwives need to know about the structure of the vagina and they need to know how dialaited the cervix needs to be for the baby to come out. They need to know how to handle the baby which science teaches you they need to know what position the baby needs to be in and how the head and spine is placed. Applied science is used during midwifery as they need to know about the babies body and the health of both the mother and baby.
You look between his/her legs.
You don't.
If you have a baby and do not know how to look after it, you should seek help form a mother who has had and raised children.
If your baby is crying and he likes light give him his pacifier and tell him to look at the light and he will look at it and will start laughing. Parents best know which thing attracts their baby. Strategy can vary from baby to baby.
Could you please post back at let us know if your baby is having a "shunt" operation done and if not, what type of operation is your baby having? With a little more info we can research information for you. Thanks! Ask the doctors and nurses, they are there to give you information as much as look after the baby. If you don't understand what they are telling you ask them to repeat it. You have to sign the consent and look after your baby afterwards so you need to know (and are entitled to know) everything. I hope all goes well.

Call your local poison control. They will ask you a couple question and look up the product that your baby consumed and then they'll let you know whether you need to take the baby to the hospital or just watch them closely at home.
You look through their ears
