Safe Non-Toxic Baby Care Products
Over the course of the next few weeks, Organic Baby Products 101 will be reviewing baby care products. We have written about the dangers of traditional baby care products and how dangerous they can be to our children without us even realizing it. Lathering our babies’ skin with smelly lotion and bathing them in bubble baths makes us feel good and them smell good but is it good for them? It is our hope to review some great products, give some away and give our take on whether they clean, how they smell and yes, if they are safe. With our children both having sensitive skin, eczema and allergies and one child having asthma – we are pretty critical. Have you seen our article on making your own baby care products?
The timing is really good for this article from Smart Family Tips where they draw attention to the Kids Safe Chemical Act and the Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep Cosmetics Database. The article really draws attention to the brands that are not so safe but that most parents immediately are drawn to for traditional reasons. Johnson and Johnson for example, just had a commercial about how the products were used when we were a child so now we should trust them for our own adult skin. After reading the Smart Family Tips, I’m not sure how “trustworthy” the products really are. It’s eye opening to the say the least but shouldn’t we demand better for our health and for our children’s health?
Baby Care Package
A great gift for that new bundle of joy in your life or someone that you know. Filled with a photo frame, wash gloves, bibs, bottles, cups, bowls, blanket, and plenty of other essentials needed for that wonderful addition to a family.
Ward Information
Daily Timetable
A consultant’s ward round takes place each day in the morning at around 09:00 am. The nurses change shift three times a day 07:10, 14:15 and 21:30 and this takes approximately half an hour.
During ward rounds and hand over, confidential information about each baby is discussed, so you may be asked to wait in the parents room, if you are visiting at these times. If you wish to be present when your baby is being seen, this can be easily arranged.
Also should you wish to see a doctor at any stage during your baby’s admission just let the nursing staff know and they will arrange this at a convenient time to you.
Visiting
The SCBU has an open visiting policy 24 hours a day for parents, siblings and grandparents. There is a limit of two visitors per cot (excluding siblings). Except quiet time. All visitors should visit with at least one parent .
No other children are permitted to visit the SCBU, in order to minimise any infection risk.
It has been identified that infants will grow faster and recover quicker when able to rest and have periods of deep sleep, unfortunately due to the nature of the SCBU and the need for investigations and noisy monitoring equipment this can be difficult to achieve.
Quiet Times
We have a designated quiet time between 13.30 and 15.30 in which we dim the lights, turn off any music and restrict visiting only to mothers who need to feed their baby at these times. Where possible any intervention from medical or nursing staff will be avoided thus allowing the infants to have some quiet sleep.
Security and Confidentiality
For the purposes of confidentiality, information about your baby will only be given to the parents over the phone, the direct line number for SCBU is 01276 604357.
Parents can contact the unit at anytime to enquire about their baby but we are unable to give information to anybody else and so ask that relatives contact you for updates.
SCBU is protected by a security system, which only allows visitors into the unit if they have been identified either by the wall phone or via the CCTV. The buzzer must be pressed in order to gain entry.
If staff do not answer the door immediately please accept our apologies but it is probably because we are busy dealing with a baby but will answer it as soon as possible.
Information concerning your baby will be on the cot card and in the folder at the cot side, these are for your information only and so we ask that other babies and their parent’s rights to privacy be respected.
Taking of photographs of your baby is permitted within the unit.
Hygiene
On entering the SCBU the first thing you will be asked will be to remove your outdoor coat before entering the nurseries and then to wash your hands. This should be carried out with the soap followed by the alcohol gel and done even if you do not intend to touch your baby, this is the same for all visitors.
Hand towels are placed in the black bin bags and nappies etc are placed in the yellow bin bags.
Care Times
All infants admitted to the unit are given “cares” at various times throughout the day, this may involve a nappy change, feed, mouth care or position changing. Premature and sick infants tire easily and require a maximum amount of rest in order to recover. So we try to handle the baby only at these times and so if the baby is well enough it will be at these times that you will be able to become involved in your baby’s care and most importantly have cuddles.
These cares take place 3,4, or 6 hourly depending on the stability of your baby’s condition. We always try to coordinate care times to when you are able to visit. So please feel free to ring us and let us know the times you will be coming in.
When you visit your baby the name of the nurse looking after your baby should be written on the cot whiteboard and she will inform you of any changes since your last visit and let you know of any plans made for the future care of your baby. If you are not sure please ask.
Supplies
You will be supplied with a top bowl and nappy bowl as well as a couple of nappies and cotton wool to start with.
Following this we request that you supply nappies, cotton wool and barrier cream if required.
Premature nappies are generally available in most of the large supermarkets and Boots.
We do have a large supply of infant clothes that can be used whilst your baby is rapidly growing, but if you prefer to bring in your own just let a member of staff know and ensure all clothes are labelled.
Your baby’s dirty laundry will be placed in a bag by the cot side for you to take home and wash.
It is nice for the babies to have a small toy in their cots; often this is a gift from their siblings.
For prevention of cross infection all supplies are kept for the sole use of your baby alone.
Unit Facilities
Our SCBU has a family room that has recently undergone
renovation, in order to provide a separate seating area for parents to use whilst visiting, tea and coffee making facilities are available.
You are welcome to make use of these at any time, but we ask that you please wash up your cups after use and leave the room as you would wish to find it, so that others can enjoy it too. The room also has a toilet, shower and a sofa bed, which is used by parents to stay overnight prior to their baby’s discharge, if they wish to do so, to help allay any anxieties at this time.

Ths s true no matter what dair age s. U r even going 2 want 2 make sure that u r not going 2 leave dam in da vehicle for any amount of time by damselves. No matter how u were 2 look at it day r not going 2 be safe for even da shortest amount of time. It may be 2o hot in da vehicle for da child or it could be 2o cold for dam. Plus u may have u vehicle s2len from where u have left it with ur child in it.
U r also going 2 make sure that ur child s going 2 be safe when day r at da babysitters. Da best thing that u can do 2 make sure that day r safe at da sitters s 2 do a background check and even a reference check as well. One odar thing that u r able 2 do s 2 check out da different items that r in da babysitters premses s going 2 be safe for ur child 2o.
Dare r many different prnting tips u r able 2 receive but u really need 2 make sure that ur children r going 2 be safe no matter where day r and what day r going 2 be doing for da day. Because u r not going 2 be able 2 replace ur child no matter how hard u try. U child s a gift 2 u and ur family so take good cr of dam with all of ur decsions u make because that would be da best prnting tip that u r ever going 2 receive from anyone.
Remember: Start ‘training’ ur child when day r ung so that it will be easier 2 take cr of dam when day r older. child cr modar cr tips pregnant cr
Child Development
When it comes 2 moni2ring ur child’s development, it can be hard 2 know u r doing what s right at every step of da way. Although prnts cannot control every aspect of dair child’s development, day can have far more influence than most would originally assume. In order 2 ensure ur child gets da most out of dair education, and s ultimately given da best start in life, u should follow da tips that r given below
Read 2 Ur Child
Reading 2 ur child can be very important, and should be done by prnts well before dair child s able 2 read and write on dair own. Through reading 2 ur child from a ung age, day will start 2 associate reading as being a positive thing and something which day enjoy on a recreational level. Once day start 2 enjoy reading day will dan be more likely 2 read on dair own in later years, which will in turn enhance dair vocabulary, written Englsh and skill when it comes 2 communicating. Anodar, often forgot about, benefit of reading 2 ur child from a ung age can be found in da relationship that it forms between prnt and child. When a child remembers being read 2o from a ung age, day will be more likely 2 want 2 read 2 dair prnt, when day can, and will also be more likely 2 open up 2 dair prnts about odar aspects of dair education and development in later years. child cr modar cr tips pregnant cr
Let Ur Child Read 2 U
Just like reading 2 ur child when day r very ung, u should also allow ur child 2 read 2 u when day get old enough 2 be able 2 do it. Ths s an integral part of ur child’s development and will help 2 form a bond between u and ur child which will put u in a position 2 better help dam as day grow older. When ur child s able 2 read 2 u, don’t make it feel like a chore for dam. Ths means that u should not correct every mstake that day make, insst upon grammatical perfection, or force dam 2 read as much as possible – ths s da sure fire way 2 repress da enjoyment that day able 2 get from reading. If ur child s having difficulty with pronouncing words dan da same applies – if day directly ask u how 2 pronounce a certain word dan tell dam, but don’t odarwse. When ur child s learning 2 read, u can give dam a great head start by ensuring that dair training does not end in da class room. child cr modar cr tips pregnant cr
Education S Constant
When it comes 2 child development, it s wrong 2 think that it s2ps when ur child s able 2 read and write 2 a certain level. Child development should continue throughout ur child’s unger years and well in2 dair teenage years. In order 2 ensure gets da best start in life, remember 2 never allow dair education life-cycle 2 s2p prematurely in terms of what u can offer. child cr modar cr tips pregnant cr
Simple Steps 2 S2p da Crying
One of da most commonly asked questions of most new prnts s how 2 s2p dair baby from crying.
Dare r many different reasons why a baby s crying and dare r as many solutions 2 solve da problem. Once u know that all ur baby's needs r met with feeding, warmth and 2ileting dan odar than a problem such as teething it s most likely comforting that s required 2 settle down da crying.
What works for one baby might not be so successful for anodar and u r sure 2 get many suggestions from people u know on what works best for dam.
What makes it even more difficult for some prnts 2 understand s why one method worked so well for one of dair children and s 2tally ineffective for anodar of dair children. Ths s just one of da many joys of prnting and an example of why so many people struggle with bringing up a child especially when it s dair first born.
Da simple solution s 2 try one method after anodar until u find one that works for u.Some babies like rocking 2 relax dam while odars like a particular type of music.
Here r some options that u might like 2 try. I am of course assuming that ur baby has been fed and doesn't have wet or soiled nappies. child cr modar cr tips pregnant cr
First u will need 2 check whedar dare have been any changes in ur baby's daily routine that might have caused an unsettling dsruption? If so u might need 2 rearrange ur plans and revert back 2 ur former routine and make changes a little more gradually.
R u giving ur baby enough attention? It s very easy with all da additional work that has been brought about by having a newborn in da family 2 find it difficult 2 manage ur time where baby gets sufficient attention.Newborns r particularly demanding especially in da first few months. Day can also pick up on ur stress levels and that can be unsettling for dam.
Ensure that ur baby s well wrapped and warm as ths will give it a sense of comfort and security. Alternatively if da weadar s particularly warm dan over heating could be da cause of dstress.
Invest in a baby carrier that u can wear while u go about ur chores so ur baby s with u and da swaying motion of u walking will often put a baby 2 sleep.Some babies find comfort in da motion of a ride in a car but u don't want 2 make a habit of having 2 go for a drive each time da crying starts. child cr modar cr tips pregnant cr
A warm bath can be soothing and sometimes da simplest things like a dummy 2 suck on s all that s needed.
Think of things that might comfort u but don't resort 2 giving ur baby chocolate even though that might be da first comforting thought that comes 2 mind for u.
Be Crful
1. It s dangerous 2 shake da baby vigorously.
2. Tight clodas can cause irritation hence it should be removed.
3. If da room s hot, switch on da fan and open da windows.
4. If da nappy s wet remove it and after cleaning da parts make it dry with a soft 2wel.
5. Pat her back or stroke her head slowly and let her here ur soothing sound.
6. Give breast milk and make her quiet.
7. If da climate s cold cover her in soft 2wel.
8. Rock her gently in ur arms and walk slowly in da room.
9. Take a music making doll and let her lsten.
10. Try a pacifier or help her for thumb sucking.
11. If no response change her position.
12. Walk outdoors with her.
13. Put her on da cradle and rock gently.
14. If no response ask somebody 2 carry da baby.
Feeding Ur Baby
Da easiest way 2 feed ur baby s also da best and that s by breast feeding. Some women do however experience some problems initially but with da right advice most will overcome dase problems and find that breastfeeding s convenient as dare s always a ready supply available for da baby whenever it s needed.
Breast milk s da best form of food that u can give ur baby for maintaining good nutrition.
Some women r opposed 2 breast feeding for various different reasons but don't let any preconceived ideas or opinions from ill informed individuals affect ur decsion making.
It s acceptable 2 breast feed anywhere dase days and that has made da decsion for many women all da easier although some people still feel somewhat embarrassed 2 breastfeed in public places.
If breastfeeding causes any form of pain or dscomfort dscuss ths with ur medical professional and see if da problem can be resolved.
If dare r ongoing problems dan dare might be no alternative than 2 use baby formula milk powders and bottle feeding.
Fortunately da formulas for babies have improved considerably over da years and u will be happy 2 know that babies will get excellent nutrition from baby formula.Dare will be da added work of having 2 ensure complete cleanliness at all times with da baby's bottle and da need 2 have some way 2 warm da milk which makes it less convenient than breast milk but day r minor things that u will learn 2 deal with and plan for if u need 2 go places.
One of da biggest advantages of breast milk s da fact that it s always ready should da baby require feeding and initially ths can be at any time of da day or night and u can imagine how much easier that will be if ur baby wakes up in da early hours of da morning expecting 2 be fed.
Keep a watch on ur baby's weight when breast feeding 2 ensure that it s getting enough nutrition 2 gain weight and if not talk 2 ur doc2r. child cr modar cr tips pregnant cr
Bathing and cleaning
When ths period arrives, or shortly after, bathing s but 2o frequently left off; da hands and face of da child r kept clean, and with ths da nurse s satsfied; da daily ablution of da whole body, however, s still necessary, not only for da preservation of cleanliness, but because it promotes in a high degree da health of da child.
A child of a vigorous constitution and robust health, as he rses from hs bed refreshed and active by hs night's repose, should be put in2 da shower-bath, or, if ths excites and alarms him 2o much, must be sponged from head 2 foot with salt water. If da weadar be very cold, da water may be made slightly tepid, but if hs constitution will bear it, da water should be cold throughout da year. Dan da body should be speedily dried, and hastily but well rubbed with a somewhat coarse 2wel, and da clodas put on without any unnecessary delay. Ths should be done every morning of da child's life.
If such a child s at da sea-side, advantage should be taken of ths circumstance, and seabathing should be substituted. Da best time s two or three hours after breakfast; but he must not be fatigued beforehand, for if so, da cold bath cannot be used without danger. Cr must be taken that he does not remain in 2o long, as da animal heat will be lowered below da proper degree, which would be most injurious. In boys of a feeble constitution, great mschief s often produced in ths way. It s a matter also of great consequence in bathing children that day should not be terrified by da immersion, and every precaution should be taken 2 prevent ths. Da healthy and robust boy, 2o, should early be taught 2 swim, whenever ths s practicable, for it s attended with da most beneficial effects; it s a most invigorating exercse, and da cold bath thus becomes doubly serviceable.
If a child s of a delicate and strumous constitution, da cold bath during da summer s one of da best 2nics that can be employed; and if living on da coast, sea-bathing will be found of singular benefit. Da effects, however, of sea-bathing upon such a constitution must be particularly watched, for unless it s succeeded by a glow, a feeling of increased strength, and a keen appetite, it will do no good, and ought at once 2 be abandoned for da warm or tepid bath. Da opinion that warm baths generally relax and weaken, s erroneous; for in ths case, as in all cases when properly employed, day would give 2ne and vigour 2 da whole system; in fact, da tepid bath s 2 ths child what da cold bath s 2 da more robust.
In conclusion: if da bath in any shape cannot from circumstances be obtained, dan cold saltwater sponging must be used daily, and all da year round, so long as da proper reaction or glow follows its use; but when ths s not da case, and ths will generally occur, if da child s delicate and da weadar cold, tepid vinegar and water, or tepid salt water, must be substituted. child cr modar cr tips pregnant cr
Proper medicine
Whenever ur child needs medication u need 2 be crful that u only give da precse dose as recommended by ur doc2r.
While adults and older children might be able 2 get away with doses that r 'close enough' ths s very rsky for a baby.
Being so much smaller u need 2 be awr that even a small variance in da dose can have a dramatic effect on da results.
Make sure that u always use da measuring device that comes with any medication and if one sn't supplied make sure that u buy an accurate measure that u can rely on.
Don't give doses based on a teaspoon as da size of teaspoons can vary and along with that dare s da possibility that u will be giving ur child more medication than s necessary or worse still u could be giving doses that could be more detrimental 2 dair health radar than solving a problem.
U should also never make ur own judgment on da amount of medication that ur child needs without first consulting ur medical practitioner as ths can endanger ur child's health without u realizing it.
Natural health remedies r often very potent and da fact that day r natural doesn't make dam 100% safe for ur child so once again always seek professional advice even when using natural products.
Some natural products can even be 2xic 2 a small baby and can do a lot of harm. Unfortunately dare r far 2o many people who don't have da necessary knowledge 2 give u da best advice when selling dase 'natural' products and more often than not day r doing harm without knowing it.
In da early stages of ur baby's development it s best 2 rely on trusted medical practitioners as a baby can get 2 a critical stage of sickness very rapidly and it sn't worth da rsk using medication that could have a negative affect on health.
Even small changes in ur baby's weight will have a big affect on da amount of medication ur medical profession will prescribe.

Co-Sleeping for U and Ur Baby
Sleep sharing or co-sleeping s where u regularly shr ur bed with ur baby while sleeping.
It s a common practice in many countries around da world and s becoming acceptable in more western countries with a greater number of prnts.
Da decsion 2 co-shr ur bed with ur baby s one that needs 2 be made on a personal bass and u shouldn't let da opinions of odars affect ur decsion.
Dare r reasons for and against sleep sharing with da major concern of those who r opposed 2 it being a fear for da baby's safety.
Many modars find that da convenience of having dair baby in bed with dam when it s time for feeding can help dam 2 get more sleep and 2 sleep better knowing that day have access 2 dair baby at all times through da night.
Dare s of course da concern that it might be difficult for da baby 2 sleep alone as it grows older.
Some babies actually sleep better alone and if that s da case dan co-sleeping s not really an option.
If u and ur partner r particular restless sleepers dan co-sleeping will usually make ths a bigger problem and dare s also da danger of a baby sleeping with restless prnts getting smodared unintentionally in da night.
Ths s da biggest concern of those people who r opposed 2 co-sleeping.
Dare r odar fac2rs that need 2 be taken in2 consideration such as da effect it will have on ur intimacy with one anodar.
Ths can place additional strain on a relationship when it s often already stressed due 2 da addition of a new member 2 da family.
Sometimes it s a little more difficult 2 wean da baby off breast feeding as day have had da convenience of feeding whenever day like through da night.
As with most decsions u make concerning ur baby dare will be pros and cons for da actions u take and ur decsion 2 co-sleep needs 2 be made entirely based on ur own personal preferences and circumstances.
U can always try it for a few nights and see whedar it s a success or not. child cr modar cr tips pregnant cr
Developing Proper Routines at Bedtime
Da best way 2 make sure that u have a baby that sleeps well s 2 develop consstent routines that create good habits as ths s da key 2 successful sleep patterns.
If ur baby associates particular activities with sleep such as feeding, bathing and burping at da same times every day dan it will become a lot easier for sleep 2 come naturally as u will be helping 2 develop da habit of sleep.
Odar fac2rs that will help 2 induce da right sleep patterns r for u 2 put ur baby down for sleep in da same locations each day or night.
Ths s anodar way of developing habit patterns and it also makes it easier on da child as day will be in familiar surroundings when day awake each time.
Familiar sounds can also help 2 induce sleep and u should always make da lead up 2 sleep a calm and happy time for ur baby as da results will be far more effective.
Once u settle on a pattern that seems 2 be working stick with it and try 2 improve upon da results that u get radar than jumping from one technique 2 anodar 2 get ur baby 2 sleep as ths will only add confusion and make sleep time more difficult.
Da more that da same pattern s followed da more effective it will become and da easier it will be 2 get ur baby off 2 sleep each night or even during da day if u develop patterns for daily naps.
U need 2 persevere with setting da scene for sleep as it will get easier da more u do it.
While it might seem a bit of an ordeal initially da benefits will far outweigh da time it takes finding da right balance in ur child's pre-sleep regime. child cr modar cr tips pregnant cr
Tips 2 avoid depression of new modar
As a new mom, I want u 2 know that feeling like u r on an emotional roller coaster s perfectly normal. One minute u can feel like u r on da 2p of da world and da next all u want 2 do s cry. Da reason for da grab bag of emotions s because of all da changes u r going through right now both physically and mentally, not 2 mention that u r most likely tired and run down. While no mom in da world wants 2 experience baby blues, I think that all new moms experience dase at times 2 one degree or anodar.
Knowing that baby blues r common might give u some comfort, but I understand that it s not enough. Da truth s that post natal depression s becoming more and more common in modern society and sadly, many women r turning straight 2 drugs 2 help dam cope. Da reality s that dare r plenty of cultures around da world where post natal depression s almost non-exstent. So have a look at dase tips 2 get a sense of how u might avoid becoming 'stuck' in da baby blues. child cr modar cr tips pregnant cr
Tip 1
My first tip s 2 keep a daily journal specifically 2 capture ur thoughts on all da things in ur life that u r grateful for. While journaling s not a new concept and has been around for hundreds and thousands of years, its power and application in modarhood s often overlooked.
Using a journal 2 document everything in ur life that u r grateful for will help u 2 tune in2 da big and small blessings in ur life and ths will help u keep things in perspective. Ths can be a little as da fact that u had five minutes 2 urself in da bathroom. Read it every time u r feeling sad or overwhelmed. Da power of journaling can be tremendous for new moms in avoiding da blues. child cr modar cr tips pregnant cr
Tip 2
Accept da circumstances of ur life da way day r and do not spend time wshing for things 2 be different. Da fact s ur life s da way it s and in every difficult time dare r opportunities for learning. Da difficult times of da first few months of being a new mom will pass quickly. Depression occurs when dare s a gap between reality and da way u think things should be. Remind urself of ths when u r feeling overwhelmed with emotion. child cr modar cr tips pregnant cr
Tip 3
Be active and get plenty of fresh air. Studies have shown that dare s a strong relationship between being active and da absence of depression. If nothing else, try 2 go for a walk at least once a day, even just for 10 minutes. Exercse moves da bones, ligament and tendons of da spine. When da spine moves it fires off nerve messages up in2 da brain and one of da benefits of ths s reducing depression. child cr modar cr tips pregnant cr
Tip 4
Create a lst of 'circuit breakers'. Not da electrical type, dare s no need 2 shock urself! A circuit breaker s simply something that can do that will help 2 snap u out of ur mood, and get u out of a rut. Dare r heaps of circuit breakers out dare, it s just a matter of tuning in2 what really inspires or turns u on.

Ths s true no matter what dair age s. U r even going 2 want 2 make sure that u r not going 2 leave dam in da vehicle for any amount of time by damselves. No matter how u were 2 look at it day r not going 2 be safe for even da shortest amount of time. It may be 2o hot in da vehicle for da child or it could be 2o cold for dam. Plus u may have u vehicle s2len from where u have left it with ur child in it.
U r also going 2 make sure that ur child s going 2 be safe when day r at da babysitters. Da best thing that u can do 2 make sure that day r safe at da sitters s 2 do a background check and even a reference check as well. One odar thing that u r able 2 do s 2 check out da different items that r in da babysitters premses s going 2 be safe for ur child 2o.
Dare r many different prnting tips u r able 2 receive but u really need 2 make sure that ur children r going 2 be safe no matter where day r and what day r going 2 be doing for da day. Because u r not going 2 be able 2 replace ur child no matter how hard u try. U child s a gift 2 u and ur family so take good cr of dam with all of ur decsions u make because that would be da best prnting tip that u r ever going 2 receive from anyone.
Remember: Start ‘training’ ur child when day r ung so that it will be easier 2 take cr of dam when day r older. child cr modar cr tips pregnant cr
Child Development
When it comes 2 moni2ring ur child’s development, it can be hard 2 know u r doing what s right at every step of da way. Although prnts cannot control every aspect of dair child’s development, day can have far more influence than most would originally assume. In order 2 ensure ur child gets da most out of dair education, and s ultimately given da best start in life, u should follow da tips that r given below
Read 2 Ur Child
Reading 2 ur child can be very important, and should be done by prnts well before dair child s able 2 read and write on dair own. Through reading 2 ur child from a ung age, day will start 2 associate reading as being a positive thing and something which day enjoy on a recreational level. Once day start 2 enjoy reading day will dan be more likely 2 read on dair own in later years, which will in turn enhance dair vocabulary, written Englsh and skill when it comes 2 communicating. Anodar, often forgot about, benefit of reading 2 ur child from a ung age can be found in da relationship that it forms between prnt and child. When a child remembers being read 2o from a ung age, day will be more likely 2 want 2 read 2 dair prnt, when day can, and will also be more likely 2 open up 2 dair prnts about odar aspects of dair education and development in later years. child cr modar cr tips pregnant cr
Let Ur Child Read 2 U
Just like reading 2 ur child when day r very ung, u should also allow ur child 2 read 2 u when day get old enough 2 be able 2 do it. Ths s an integral part of ur child’s development and will help 2 form a bond between u and ur child which will put u in a position 2 better help dam as day grow older. When ur child s able 2 read 2 u, don’t make it feel like a chore for dam. Ths means that u should not correct every mstake that day make, insst upon grammatical perfection, or force dam 2 read as much as possible – ths s da sure fire way 2 repress da enjoyment that day able 2 get from reading. If ur child s having difficulty with pronouncing words dan da same applies – if day directly ask u how 2 pronounce a certain word dan tell dam, but don’t odarwse. When ur child s learning 2 read, u can give dam a great head start by ensuring that dair training does not end in da class room. child cr modar cr tips pregnant cr
Education S Constant
When it comes 2 child development, it s wrong 2 think that it s2ps when ur child s able 2 read and write 2 a certain level. Child development should continue throughout ur child’s unger years and well in2 dair teenage years. In order 2 ensure gets da best start in life, remember 2 never allow dair education life-cycle 2 s2p prematurely in terms of what u can offer. child cr modar cr tips pregnant cr
Simple Steps 2 S2p da Crying
One of da most commonly asked questions of most new prnts s how 2 s2p dair baby from crying.
Dare r many different reasons why a baby s crying and dare r as many solutions 2 solve da problem. Once u know that all ur baby's needs r met with feeding, warmth and 2ileting dan odar than a problem such as teething it s most likely comforting that s required 2 settle down da crying.
What works for one baby might not be so successful for anodar and u r sure 2 get many suggestions from people u know on what works best for dam.
What makes it even more difficult for some prnts 2 understand s why one method worked so well for one of dair children and s 2tally ineffective for anodar of dair children. Ths s just one of da many joys of prnting and an example of why so many people struggle with bringing up a child especially when it s dair first born.
Da simple solution s 2 try one method after anodar until u find one that works for u.Some babies like rocking 2 relax dam while odars like a particular type of music.
Here r some options that u might like 2 try. I am of course assuming that ur baby has been fed and doesn't have wet or soiled nappies. child cr modar cr tips pregnant cr
First u will need 2 check whedar dare have been any changes in ur baby's daily routine that might have caused an unsettling dsruption? If so u might need 2 rearrange ur plans and revert back 2 ur former routine and make changes a little more gradually.
R u giving ur baby enough attention? It s very easy with all da additional work that has been brought about by having a newborn in da family 2 find it difficult 2 manage ur time where baby gets sufficient attention.Newborns r particularly demanding especially in da first few months. Day can also pick up on ur stress levels and that can be unsettling for dam.
Ensure that ur baby s well wrapped and warm as ths will give it a sense of comfort and security. Alternatively if da weadar s particularly warm dan over heating could be da cause of dstress.
Invest in a baby carrier that u can wear while u go about ur chores so ur baby s with u and da swaying motion of u walking will often put a baby 2 sleep.Some babies find comfort in da motion of a ride in a car but u don't want 2 make a habit of having 2 go for a drive each time da crying starts. child cr modar cr tips pregnant cr
A warm bath can be soothing and sometimes da simplest things like a dummy 2 suck on s all that s needed.
Think of things that might comfort u but don't resort 2 giving ur baby chocolate even though that might be da first comforting thought that comes 2 mind for u.
Be Crful
1. It s dangerous 2 shake da baby vigorously.
2. Tight clodas can cause irritation hence it should be removed.
3. If da room s hot, switch on da fan and open da windows.
4. If da nappy s wet remove it and after cleaning da parts make it dry with a soft 2wel.
5. Pat her back or stroke her head slowly and let her here ur soothing sound.
6. Give breast milk and make her quiet.
7. If da climate s cold cover her in soft 2wel.
8. Rock her gently in ur arms and walk slowly in da room.
9. Take a music making doll and let her lsten.
10. Try a pacifier or help her for thumb sucking.
11. If no response change her position.
12. Walk outdoors with her.
13. Put her on da cradle and rock gently.
14. If no response ask somebody 2 carry da baby.
Feeding Ur Baby
Da easiest way 2 feed ur baby s also da best and that s by breast feeding. Some women do however experience some problems initially but with da right advice most will overcome dase problems and find that breastfeeding s convenient as dare s always a ready supply available for da baby whenever it s needed.
Breast milk s da best form of food that u can give ur baby for maintaining good nutrition.
Some women r opposed 2 breast feeding for various different reasons but don't let any preconceived ideas or opinions from ill informed individuals affect ur decsion making.
It s acceptable 2 breast feed anywhere dase days and that has made da decsion for many women all da easier although some people still feel somewhat embarrassed 2 breastfeed in public places.
If breastfeeding causes any form of pain or dscomfort dscuss ths with ur medical professional and see if da problem can be resolved.
If dare r ongoing problems dan dare might be no alternative than 2 use baby formula milk powders and bottle feeding.
Fortunately da formulas for babies have improved considerably over da years and u will be happy 2 know that babies will get excellent nutrition from baby formula.Dare will be da added work of having 2 ensure complete cleanliness at all times with da baby's bottle and da need 2 have some way 2 warm da milk which makes it less convenient than breast milk but day r minor things that u will learn 2 deal with and plan for if u need 2 go places.
One of da biggest advantages of breast milk s da fact that it s always ready should da baby require feeding and initially ths can be at any time of da day or night and u can imagine how much easier that will be if ur baby wakes up in da early hours of da morning expecting 2 be fed.
Keep a watch on ur baby's weight when breast feeding 2 ensure that it s getting enough nutrition 2 gain weight and if not talk 2 ur doc2r. child cr modar cr tips pregnant cr
Bathing and cleaning
When ths period arrives, or shortly after, bathing s but 2o frequently left off; da hands and face of da child r kept clean, and with ths da nurse s satsfied; da daily ablution of da whole body, however, s still necessary, not only for da preservation of cleanliness, but because it promotes in a high degree da health of da child.
A child of a vigorous constitution and robust health, as he rses from hs bed refreshed and active by hs night's repose, should be put in2 da shower-bath, or, if ths excites and alarms him 2o much, must be sponged from head 2 foot with salt water. If da weadar be very cold, da water may be made slightly tepid, but if hs constitution will bear it, da water should be cold throughout da year. Dan da body should be speedily dried, and hastily but well rubbed with a somewhat coarse 2wel, and da clodas put on without any unnecessary delay. Ths should be done every morning of da child's life.
If such a child s at da sea-side, advantage should be taken of ths circumstance, and seabathing should be substituted. Da best time s two or three hours after breakfast; but he must not be fatigued beforehand, for if so, da cold bath cannot be used without danger. Cr must be taken that he does not remain in 2o long, as da animal heat will be lowered below da proper degree, which would be most injurious. In boys of a feeble constitution, great mschief s often produced in ths way. It s a matter also of great consequence in bathing children that day should not be terrified by da immersion, and every precaution should be taken 2 prevent ths. Da healthy and robust boy, 2o, should early be taught 2 swim, whenever ths s practicable, for it s attended with da most beneficial effects; it s a most invigorating exercse, and da cold bath thus becomes doubly serviceable.
If a child s of a delicate and strumous constitution, da cold bath during da summer s one of da best 2nics that can be employed; and if living on da coast, sea-bathing will be found of singular benefit. Da effects, however, of sea-bathing upon such a constitution must be particularly watched, for unless it s succeeded by a glow, a feeling of increased strength, and a keen appetite, it will do no good, and ought at once 2 be abandoned for da warm or tepid bath. Da opinion that warm baths generally relax and weaken, s erroneous; for in ths case, as in all cases when properly employed, day would give 2ne and vigour 2 da whole system; in fact, da tepid bath s 2 ths child what da cold bath s 2 da more robust.
In conclusion: if da bath in any shape cannot from circumstances be obtained, dan cold saltwater sponging must be used daily, and all da year round, so long as da proper reaction or glow follows its use; but when ths s not da case, and ths will generally occur, if da child s delicate and da weadar cold, tepid vinegar and water, or tepid salt water, must be substituted. child cr modar cr tips pregnant cr
Proper medicine
Whenever ur child needs medication u need 2 be crful that u only give da precse dose as recommended by ur doc2r.
While adults and older children might be able 2 get away with doses that r 'close enough' ths s very rsky for a baby.
Being so much smaller u need 2 be awr that even a small variance in da dose can have a dramatic effect on da results.
Make sure that u always use da measuring device that comes with any medication and if one sn't supplied make sure that u buy an accurate measure that u can rely on.
Don't give doses based on a teaspoon as da size of teaspoons can vary and along with that dare s da possibility that u will be giving ur child more medication than s necessary or worse still u could be giving doses that could be more detrimental 2 dair health radar than solving a problem.
U should also never make ur own judgment on da amount of medication that ur child needs without first consulting ur medical practitioner as ths can endanger ur child's health without u realizing it.
Natural health remedies r often very potent and da fact that day r natural doesn't make dam 100% safe for ur child so once again always seek professional advice even when using natural products.
Some natural products can even be 2xic 2 a small baby and can do a lot of harm. Unfortunately dare r far 2o many people who don't have da necessary knowledge 2 give u da best advice when selling dase 'natural' products and more often than not day r doing harm without knowing it.
In da early stages of ur baby's development it s best 2 rely on trusted medical practitioners as a baby can get 2 a critical stage of sickness very rapidly and it sn't worth da rsk using medication that could have a negative affect on health.
Even small changes in ur baby's weight will have a big affect on da amount of medication ur medical profession will prescribe.

Co-Sleeping for U and Ur Baby
Sleep sharing or co-sleeping s where u regularly shr ur bed with ur baby while sleeping.
It s a common practice in many countries around da world and s becoming acceptable in more western countries with a greater number of prnts.
Da decsion 2 co-shr ur bed with ur baby s one that needs 2 be made on a personal bass and u shouldn't let da opinions of odars affect ur decsion.
Dare r reasons for and against sleep sharing with da major concern of those who r opposed 2 it being a fear for da baby's safety.
Many modars find that da convenience of having dair baby in bed with dam when it s time for feeding can help dam 2 get more sleep and 2 sleep better knowing that day have access 2 dair baby at all times through da night.
Dare s of course da concern that it might be difficult for da baby 2 sleep alone as it grows older.
Some babies actually sleep better alone and if that s da case dan co-sleeping s not really an option.
If u and ur partner r particular restless sleepers dan co-sleeping will usually make ths a bigger problem and dare s also da danger of a baby sleeping with restless prnts getting smodared unintentionally in da night.
Ths s da biggest concern of those people who r opposed 2 co-sleeping.
Dare r odar fac2rs that need 2 be taken in2 consideration such as da effect it will have on ur intimacy with one anodar.
Ths can place additional strain on a relationship when it s often already stressed due 2 da addition of a new member 2 da family.
Sometimes it s a little more difficult 2 wean da baby off breast feeding as day have had da convenience of feeding whenever day like through da night.
As with most decsions u make concerning ur baby dare will be pros and cons for da actions u take and ur decsion 2 co-sleep needs 2 be made entirely based on ur own personal preferences and circumstances.
U can always try it for a few nights and see whedar it s a success or not. child cr modar cr tips pregnant cr
Developing Proper Routines at Bedtime
Da best way 2 make sure that u have a baby that sleeps well s 2 develop consstent routines that create good habits as ths s da key 2 successful sleep patterns.
If ur baby associates particular activities with sleep such as feeding, bathing and burping at da same times every day dan it will become a lot easier for sleep 2 come naturally as u will be helping 2 develop da habit of sleep.
Odar fac2rs that will help 2 induce da right sleep patterns r for u 2 put ur baby down for sleep in da same locations each day or night.
Ths s anodar way of developing habit patterns and it also makes it easier on da child as day will be in familiar surroundings when day awake each time.
Familiar sounds can also help 2 induce sleep and u should always make da lead up 2 sleep a calm and happy time for ur baby as da results will be far more effective.
Once u settle on a pattern that seems 2 be working stick with it and try 2 improve upon da results that u get radar than jumping from one technique 2 anodar 2 get ur baby 2 sleep as ths will only add confusion and make sleep time more difficult.
Da more that da same pattern s followed da more effective it will become and da easier it will be 2 get ur baby off 2 sleep each night or even during da day if u develop patterns for daily naps.
U need 2 persevere with setting da scene for sleep as it will get easier da more u do it.
While it might seem a bit of an ordeal initially da benefits will far outweigh da time it takes finding da right balance in ur child's pre-sleep regime. child cr modar cr tips pregnant cr
Tips 2 avoid depression of new modar
As a new mom, I want u 2 know that feeling like u r on an emotional roller coaster s perfectly normal. One minute u can feel like u r on da 2p of da world and da next all u want 2 do s cry. Da reason for da grab bag of emotions s because of all da changes u r going through right now both physically and mentally, not 2 mention that u r most likely tired and run down. While no mom in da world wants 2 experience baby blues, I think that all new moms experience dase at times 2 one degree or anodar.
Knowing that baby blues r common might give u some comfort, but I understand that it s not enough. Da truth s that post natal depression s becoming more and more common in modern society and sadly, many women r turning straight 2 drugs 2 help dam cope. Da reality s that dare r plenty of cultures around da world where post natal depression s almost non-exstent. So have a look at dase tips 2 get a sense of how u might avoid becoming 'stuck' in da baby blues. child cr modar cr tips pregnant cr
Tip 1
My first tip s 2 keep a daily journal specifically 2 capture ur thoughts on all da things in ur life that u r grateful for. While journaling s not a new concept and has been around for hundreds and thousands of years, its power and application in modarhood s often overlooked.
Using a journal 2 document everything in ur life that u r grateful for will help u 2 tune in2 da big and small blessings in ur life and ths will help u keep things in perspective. Ths can be a little as da fact that u had five minutes 2 urself in da bathroom. Read it every time u r feeling sad or overwhelmed. Da power of journaling can be tremendous for new moms in avoiding da blues. child cr modar cr tips pregnant cr
Tip 2
Accept da circumstances of ur life da way day r and do not spend time wshing for things 2 be different. Da fact s ur life s da way it s and in every difficult time dare r opportunities for learning. Da difficult times of da first few months of being a new mom will pass quickly. Depression occurs when dare s a gap between reality and da way u think things should be. Remind urself of ths when u r feeling overwhelmed with emotion. child cr modar cr tips pregnant cr
Tip 3
Be active and get plenty of fresh air. Studies have shown that dare s a strong relationship between being active and da absence of depression. If nothing else, try 2 go for a walk at least once a day, even just for 10 minutes. Exercse moves da bones, ligament and tendons of da spine. When da spine moves it fires off nerve messages up in2 da brain and one of da benefits of ths s reducing depression. child cr modar cr tips pregnant cr
Tip 4
Create a lst of 'circuit breakers'. Not da electrical type, dare s no need 2 shock urself! A circuit breaker s simply something that can do that will help 2 snap u out of ur mood, and get u out of a rut. Dare r heaps of circuit breakers out dare, it s just a matter of tuning in2 what really inspires or turns u on. Ths could include things like going for a walk, lstening 2 groovy music, a bubble bath, reading a fun book, cuddling a puppy, painting... da lst s endless. Circuit breakers r any actions that u can do that will lift u up 2 a happier state of being. Make a lst of things that make u happy and keep it at hand for when u notice urself feeling down. child cr modar cr tips pregnant cr
Tip 5
Take up meditation. Ths s a simple thing u can do that will really change da way u deal with life. U will become much more grounded, less tense, less stressed, u will find new energy and vitality. Meditation s such a freeing experience, it doesn't require any special equipment and u don't have 2 join a club. All u need s a space, where u can sit quietly and just be. Be sure 2 find a teacher that u feel comfortable with. child cr modar cr tips pregnant cr
Remember, avoiding da blues as a new mom s not always easy. When u become a new mom go easy on urself. Don't compr urself 2 odars or expect that u will fall in2 ur role as a new mom immediately. Give it time and be patient, because da 2ugh times pass quickly and know dare s light at da end of da tunnel

Lotions, Oils and Powders
Lotions and oils used for skin care:
Massaging baby’s skin with lotions and oils can relieve irritation. See that the healing herbs are present in lotion or oil.
According to the recent report, about 75% of the newborn babies suffer with rashes. To prevent this, the baby must be bathed by warm water. Buttocks and genitals of baby should be wiped by using soft cloth made of cotton.
Baby powder for skin care:
Most of the baby powders containing talc cause irritation and in certain cases it can cause cancer. So, these powders should be avoided.
The powders (no talc) are used only in some places like underarms, neck and genital area. Powders are used to cure diaper rashes. The rashes can be cured by fresh air that is allowed to the bottom of the baby. Pediatrician advice parents not to use the products with petroleum jelly as they trap moisture and cause common allergen.

Baby food chart 4to10 months
Precautions to be taken while feeding solid food to your four month old baby for the first time.
* First and foremost, whatever you feed the baby, make sure to follow a strict timetable for his meals. By this, you are setting a routine for the baby's appetite from an early age.
* Before starting any solid food, consult your doctor and get a baby food specifications chart done for him.
* Maintain a balance in the baby food diet and in the amount of nutrients, so that your baby neither lacks any nutrients nor gets an overdose of any one nutrient.
* If you are feeding a new solid food item to the baby, feed him only 3-4 spoons initially. If he can digest that item without vomiting it out or without causing any stomach disturbance, you may continue with that food
* Make the baby sit while feeding him. A four month baby can be held in the lap or can sit in a baby chair, with some support. Sitting position will help him digest his food faster and better.
* Use a small spoon to feed the baby and feed him tiny morsels.
* If the food is made warm, you should taste it before feeding it to him, to avoid burning the baby's mouth.
* Maintain a happy and playful environment during the meal.
* Do not make the baby lie down immediately after the meal.
* Make the baby taste a new food item during his meal time, before he drinks his milk so that the baby is not very tired or hungry.
* Homemade baby food is more safe, however, if you are feeding canned food to the baby, check the expiry date as well as the ingredients and avoid food containing 'added salt' or 'added sugar'.
* Do not feed directly from the jar. Remove a small amount of food on a clean dish and place it in front of the baby. This may encourage the baby to finish the meal since he is watching the others at the table finishing their own dishes.

Mother milk and solid food.
Whether or not a four old month baby is capable of having food other than breast-fed milk or baby formula, depends on the health condition of the baby.
If the baby has not experienced any stomach related problems up till four months, he can start having solid food in his diet.
Generally, smashed food is fed to the baby, as he can swallow it without chewing. Pastes and liquid food can be included in the baby food diet. However, it is advised that nothing spicy or oily should be tried.

4 to 9 months baby food chart
Your baby does not need to feed often as he reaches four months. His stomach grows bigger by this age and he tends to develop feeding habits that are more like elders.
Despite less feeding, he will still gain weight. He may attempt to snatch the food off elders' plates.
Though he may be unable to chew, due to lack of teeth, he will lick it to test its taste. Parents often mistake this gesture of the baby and encourage him to eat more of the solid food.
Parents should keep in mind that baby food for 4 month baby is very different from what we adults eat.

Six monnths baby care and food
Most pediatricians recommend starting your baby with an iron-fortified rice cereal. Rice cereal is easy to digest and mixes easily with breast milk or formula.Most rice cereals provide the recommended daily amount of iron for your baby.
Some cereals have added fruit such as apples and bananas which sweeten the cereal.
Most babies prefer the sweetened rice cereal, but flavored and mixed cereals are considered an intermediate cereal.
Intermediate cereals should only be introduced once your baby has adjusted to beginner cereals.
