Baby Love: Everything You Need to Know about Your Baby’s First Year

One of the first things your baby would tell you if they could talk would be how much they enjoy sleeping the majority of the time. This is a necessity for babies during their first months of life, sleeping helps in their early development. But, there can be complications, such as SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) as well as others. These tragedies can be prevented by keeping the baby safe while sleeping.Misfortunes such as these are responsible for the loss of thousands of babies every year, therefore the best safe sleeping habits are encouraged. In the hospital, pay attention to the way the nurses are placing your baby in his bed. At home, a crib should be set up for the arrival of your newest family member. But, before using the crib, make sure it poses no danger.Check the area in which your baby’s crib will be located, ensuring there is not a flow of air from anywhere that would be too cold. The sheet for the crib should fit extremely well and the mattress should not give. Be sure to place your baby on his back, this is the best way for a baby to sleep. This will decrease instances of SIDS and other problems such as smothering.Babies are often wrapped in to many clothes when the weather is cold. The best thing you can do is to set the room temperature around 68 degrees and put no more clothes on your baby than you would wear. For example, if you are comfortable in a tee shirt, don’t put flannels on your baby.Don’t over dress or over heat your baby. Make sure your baby sleeps in a compact night suit. Free flowing frocks or dresses should never be used for sleeping. Moreover, any kind of baby jewelry, bonnets, and bibs should be removed before sleeping.Movies you have seen may show a baby’s crib full of all types of stuffed animals or even one larger animal. The truth is this is not safe sleeping and should not be considered in real life. These are potentially deadly items for a baby, possibly cause them to suffocate. Remove all pillows, toys, blankets and other loose bedding from the crib.Parents often give pacifiers to their babies. This is believed by many doctors to help reduce SIDS. The correct pacifier should be chosen for the baby’s age. I personally would choose  a orthodontic pacifier. These are made to decrease the odds of the baby having an overbite when they are older. Nothing should be attached to the pacifier such as ribbons or yarn. The dangers of strangling or choking on them is real.There are times when parents may place the baby on their bed to sleep. You should not do this mainly because the baby could fall off or could roll over in the covers and suffocate. This is often done when people are visiting relatives. This is where a little planning ahead is necessary. Prepare yourself, bring along a playpen. If the playpen isn’t feasible, using your car seat would be.Safety is always a consideration when you have a new baby. Hopefully, these safe sleeping tips will allow you to rest a little easier and your baby too.

Humble Bumbles’ Baby Journal: A Keepsake Journal for Baby’s First Three Years

Many of us are crammed with excitement when we hear that a new baby is on the way. It is irrelevant if that baby will be a family member such as a grandchild, a niece or nephew, or a cousin or whether it is going to be a friend’s child or that of a work mate or the child of one of the members of a church or club you go to. The thrill is there and we would like to perform a part in this new child’s life, no matter how tiny a part that may be. There’s nothing like watching a child grow and develop and understanding that you played some part in that babies development. One of the best methods to have a part in this new person’s life is through the giving of baby gifts. Babies and toddlers grow swiftly, making the giving of baby gifts important to keep up with the babies changing needs . Not only is there the baby shower itself, but there is the baptism, birthdays, first steps, and each vacation that we will be able to use as a reason to indulge our wish to be part of this new child’s life. Giving gifts for such occasions helps us to be a part of the baby’s ongoing development and helps the parents in these industrial times. Announcement of Babies Arrival While baby showers are the expected time to give gifts to the new baby, why not start early and give a present when you first discover a baby is pending. Your present at this time does not have to be huge or dear. Something as easy as a sleeper, a package of nappies, a few rattles, or maybe a book or two for the ma to read out loud to the baby in her womb all make great statement gifts, as do cuddly stuffed animals, and other things the newborn will need or like. Baby Shower Historically baby shower gifts include all kinds of garments for the baby as well as diapers, blankets, and newborn toys, strollers, auto seats, and other big items are also much welcomed and required gifts for a new baby. There are crib toys as well as toys that will grow with the baby and help them develop. Mobiles and other such toys can entertain a baby for long times of time so helping to focus their eyes and strengthen their eye muscles. A portable CD player with a few kids’s CDs makes an amazing baby gift that may grow with the new baby offering years of entertainment and academic possibilities. Baptismal Gifts An infant’s baptism is another great gift giving opportunity. While you do not want to go over the top with gifts for this occasion, a little present to celebrate the occasion is certainly appreciated. Fabric storybooks or a small piece of jewellery the kid can wear later might be just what the occasion calls for. Accomplishments Each new accomplishment or phase in a baby’s life is a good reason to get a little something for a kid. When they sit up, crawl, stand, or get their first tooth, as well as their primary step are great excuses for showering the kid with a present or 2. Educational toys are always welcome at any stage of a kid’s development and the choices are limitless. From soft puzzles, to crawling tunnels. Holidays and birthdays Holidays and birthdays are a great time for purchasing gifts for that special baby or toddler. Anything from new garments to toys are welcome and appreciated by the folks and will light the eyes of any toddler up. As the baby grows and matures, you have even more choices in items to get for this excellent child as their personality starts to appear and this allows for even more creative ideas. Age acceptable automobiles and wagons, tiny outdoor play sets, or a baby gymnasium are great decisions for present giving at vacations or for birthdays. Summer holidays and birthdays are a great time to give sand toys and those toys kids can enjoy outdoors, while cooler weather gifts may include rocking horses, films acceptable for small kids and a whole host of other toys. No matter what the occasion, baby gifts are the easiest way for you to play a small part in the development of this precious child.

Baby Einstein: Baby’s First Birthday Gift Set W CD and Growth Chart

Okay, bear with me You may be shaking your head saying “Crystal, you can’t teach them manners when they are so young”. But I strongly disagree. As I see it manners, like so many other things, are caught more than they are taught.

So at this age when baby is facinated by you and copying your smile and gestures, rest assured she is also copying your behaviour. So when you need to take a toy from her, don’t forget to say please and thank-you.

Let me also add that “ta-ta” is not the same AT ALL as saying “please”. It’s always seemed odd to me that people would be so sure their child could learn to give them something because Mommy or Daddy said ta-ta and extended their hand… and yet wouldn’t think their child could understand the word “please”. Well they can Of course they can

Similarly, when you give them something, encourage them to say thank-you. It will take quite some time before they can say it but I’d bet they will surprize you by how early they will try to say it… and it’s just sooo cute to see and hear a little one try to say thank-you
