WHAT IS NORTHWEST AREA EDUCATION AGENCY?
THE AREA EDUCATION AGENCIES (AEAs) were created to offer services to children in Iowa most
equitably, efficiently and economically. Most parents and community members don’t know the
AEA until they need the AEA. If you are concerned about physical or learning delays exhibited in
a child, we have caring and compassionate staff who will guide you in the right direction.
We offer dozens of services via employees who are experts in their respective fields.
We are proud to partner with local school districts, educators and administrators
throughout northwest Iowa. Students continually excel and overcome
obstacles because of strong collaboration and partnerships between
AEA employees, school staff and families. Northwest AEA covers a 10
county area with several office locations. We provide support for
children from birth to age 21. For more information or to speak
with someone about a child’s concerns, call 712-222-6050.

DIRTY DIAPERS
“By three to six weeks of age, some breastfed babies have
only one bowel movement a week and still are normal.
This happens because breast milk leaves very little solid
waste to be eliminated from the child’s digestive system.
Thus, infrequent stools are not a sign of constipation and
should not be considered a problem as long as the stools
are soft (no firmer than peanut butter), and your infant
is otherwise normal, gaining weight steadily, and nursing
regularly.”
• If your baby is formula-fed, they should have at
least one bowel movement a day. Having fewer
than this and/or straining may be a sign of
constipation. Consult your physician for advice on
how to handle this problem.

compared to formula-fed infants.
Growth typically occurs very rapidly for a
period of time, followed by a period of time
with no growth - this is normal.
