Tips For Consoling Your Baby

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

Are you asking yourself “Will the crying ever stop”? Take a deep cleansing breath, relax, and read our tips to help you calm your little one.

Crying is your baby’s way of communicating with you. Your baby may be trying to tell you that he/she is hungry, in pain, too hot or too cold, has a dirty diaper, is sleepy, or is over stimulated. On average, babies cry for 1 to 4 hours a day. During some of these periods, nothing that you do seems to console your child; this can be extremely unnerving for many parents. Here are some tips to help calm your baby:

* Give your baby a pacifier to suck on or use your clean finger if you don’t have a pacifier handy.
* Try burping your baby. Sometimes a gas bubble is stuck in your baby’s belly causing pain and discomfort.
* Rock your baby.
* Touch and stroke your baby.
* Swaddle your baby.
* Sing and talk to your baby.
* Play soft relaxing music for your baby.
* Carry your baby in your arms or use a carrier. I find that if I put a baby facing tummy-to-tummy with me in my arms (as if I am breastfeeding) and offer the baby a pacifier, the baby usually calms quickly.
* Take your baby for a walk or for a car ride. A change of scenery is always nice.
* Give your baby a warm bath.
* Give your baby a massage.
* If your baby is over stimulated, remove him/her from the object or situation that is causing the stimulation.
* Use a vibrating infant seat or a baby swing.

If these tips don’t work for you, put your baby in a safe place (like his/her crib) and go to a quiet place to relax and regain your composure.

Some babies, no matter what you do, may not be easy to console at certain times throughout the day. Some are colicky or have reflux. Unfortunately, there is not much else to do for an infant that has colic besides trying to console and calm them. The good news is that colic usually resolves by 3-4 months of age. If you suspect that your child has reflux, consult your pediatrician for further information.

Winter Clothing For Babies: Keep Your Baby Warm And Dry

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

Do not let winterâ??s cold and snow keep you and your baby housebound.  Both of you still need to get out, walk and enjoy fresh air and the company of others; and the business of everyday life does not slow down for an occasional blizzard or cold snap.  Naturally, however, because your babyâ??s immune system is still developing, and thousands of nasty bacteria and viruses lurk in super-heated household air, you need to protect your baby against the elements and winterâ??s cold, bundling her in the best winter clothing for babies.

Indoor winter clothing for babies

While your baby plays indoors, you want to keep her warm and comfortable, protecting her against cold floors and chilly drafts.  Keep your babyâ??s arms and legs covered, dressing her in layers.  Add a turtleneck over her t-shirt, and add cute little overalls with snaps along the legs for both comfort and convenience.  If your baby is crawling or toddling, check your floors for warmth, because tile and hardwood grow very cold during the winter.  You may want to add blankets to your babyâ??s favorite play spaces, protecting not only against the cold but also against bumps and bounces.

Especially make sure your babyâ??s feet and hands stay warm.  You probably know from your own experience, if your feet and hands do not feel warm, the rest of your body cannot feel warm.  Add extra socks under booties or shoes to keep those precious little toes nice and toasty; and take time out from crawling, walking, and dancing to check babyâ??s hands, rubbing them gently to warm them and promote circulation to tender little fingers.  If your hardwood and tile floors remain super cold, your baby may even want to wear her mittens indoors while she crawls and explores.

Outdoor winter clothing for babies

A good hat and sturdy mittens lead the list of outdoor essentials for your baby.  Because your babyâ??s head is still developing, you need to keep it warm and dry, and your babyâ??s delicate ears will chill quickly if you leave them unprotected against the cold.  If you can splurge on only one item of winter gear for your baby, look for a high-quality down-filled set that includes both mittens and a hat.  Very few manufacturers make gloves for babies, because their hands are too small and they would be a nightmare to put-on.  Mittens have the advantage of keeping hands warmer, and they slide on and off with ease.  You may want to supplement your investment with clips or strings, attaching the mittens directly to your babyâ??s snowsuit, so that they do not get lost, misplaced, or left behind.

You will see lots of cute knitted items for your babyâ??s hands and head, and knitwear will work well in autumn and spring, but it will not afford adequate protection against harsh winter storms.  When you and your baby venture out into the dead of winter, dress your baby in fleece-lined or fiber-filled rip-stop nylon head and hand wear.  You want your baby to remain waterproof as well as weatherproof.

Baby Shower Gift Planning, Ideas & Baby Shower Invitations Cards

Monday, March 15th, 2010

Baby shower gifts are a tradition dating back to the early 1900’s where friends and family would throw a “shower” similar to how they would for a bridal shower – to “shower” the woman with gifts before her big day (marriage or having a baby). In the early days, the guests made most of the baby shower gifts. Umbrellas were a popular symbol of the event because the baby shower was traditionally an afternoon event and the guests would use the umbrella to stay out of the sun, All About Baby Showers.

Today, if the Mommy-to-Be intends on registering, she should do so about a month before the babyshower. This allows the host to send the registration information along with the baby shower invitations. Modern day baby showers are much different and not just for tea. Baby shower gifts range from practical to outlandish. You should check to see where the Mommy-to-Be is registered for gifts before deciding the type baby shower gift to give. Here’s some of the more popular baby shower gifts as well as some creative gifts to give the parents-to-be.

Gift of Saving a Life: A thoughtful baby shower gift is a gift certificate for a private CPR class for the mommy and daddy to be and a few of their selected family and friends who may become future babysitters

Diapers, Diapers and More Diapers: A great gift that seems to always running out for the Mommy-to-Be is to have everyone bring a few packages of diapers. New mommies never have enough in the house so getting diapers is a perfect baby shower gift

Useful Laundry Basket Idea: Instead of spending the money on a gift bag that is likely to get thrown away, use laundry basket, line it with a baby blanket and put the gift inside and cover with tissue paper or another blanket. Then the basket can be used for the extra laundry that will be added or for toy storage

Floating Ducky: Take a silver mini washtub and fill it with water and float a rubber duck in each one. Tie balloons to one of the handles. It’s simple, but sweet. You can also place various baby shower related items next to the washtub, like shampoo, lotion and such

Laundry Basket Goods: Purchase a laundry basket, baby laundry detergent, you’re favorite prewash, stain remover, wipes to go, and some fabric softener and place in the basket. You can arrange all these small items with tissue paper in the laundry basket, which will serve as you’re gift basket

Baby Shower Baby Books: Have each baby shower guest bring a baby book for the new parents. Have each guest pre-write a sentiment or advice to the new parent’s on the first page of each book which is a great memento to cherish for the baby growing up and the parents

Baby Plant / Tree: Buy a small tree that can be planted outside of the parents-to-be home. Tie baby items to the branches. The parent’s to be can watch the tree and the baby grow at the same time. You can do the same thing with a small indoor plant

Fleece Baby Blanket: A fleece baby blanket is made by taking two pieces of fleece and putting them together, then cutting 3 in slits every 1 inch all the way around the blanket and tie knots to keep the pieces together. Then just roll the blanket up and tie it with a ribbon

Keepsake Box: Use a hatbox and add personal touches to the box by filling it in with onsies, clothes, pacifiers, bottles, wipes, diapers, etc. You can also include a pack of alphabet stickers so I could put the baby’s name and birth date, weight and height on the box with the stickers once he/she is born
