Pregnancy can be a very happy time in a couple’s life. There are plans to make to add a new person into the family. When a pregnancy is planned and wanted the nine months is a time of preparation. I am fortunate that my niece’s pregnancy has been waited for with longing and the reports are that the baby is healthy.

My niece is also my god child. We have been very close through the years. I told her that I wanted to plan a baby shower for her. I gave her the choice of having the shower prior to the baby or after the baby was delivered so that the baby could be part of the shower. She was concerned that she would be nervous handling the baby in front of a group of family members so she asked to have the shower prior to the birth. She also requested that I would not have any baby shower games. She said she thought they were stupid and she did not like to participate in them.

All parents start off with good intentions, but some think they know everything, and don’t want to listen to the advice of their doctors. I know this first hand. My sister had her baby about the same time that my little girl was born, and we had vastly different ways of feeding the babies. I couldn’t breast feed, so my daughter was on formula. My sister choose not to do so, so her baby was also on formula. Our methods of baby feeding were vastly different from each other even though we had the same pediatrician.

I guess I took the pediatrician’s advice about baby feeding much more seriously than my sister did. I was told that bottle should not go in the microwave because they heat unevenly. When that happens, there can be parts of the bottle that can be too hot and the babies mouth might be burned when feeding. I listened to this advice and she did not. I guess everything turned out okay, but I wasn’t about to take the chance. She informed me that she didn’t have the time to heat them otherwise. I thought she should make time, but I guess it was none of my business.

Yeast infection occurs not only in adults but in babies as well. Baby yeast infection can be passed down from the mother, or it can be something that the child acquires from the food and drink he or she takes in.

 It seems that no matter how many advances are made by medical science, Mother Nature still has the upper hand in determining outcomes. Most doctors will admit that there are many times through their career when the unexplainable happens with a patient. Some of the doctors will call these events miracles, others will simply say that they are unable to explain the event. Most will agree that there are unknown variables when it comes to dealing with medicine and the human body.

 

Having a child is  very expensive.  With most families use to a two income household, when mom has to stop working it can be very scary.  The fact that you now have another mouth to feed and a new baby to buy lots of new closes is just a start.

For many people, the cost of daycare is so high that they cannot provide their children with adequate after school care. Although ideally every child would have a parent to stay with them until they reach a certain age, in practice this can't work. Because of the demands of the workforce, many households have two parents who work full time. Nonetheless, even with two incomes, child care costs can be a burden. Children should not have to sit in an office all day, waiting for their mother or father to be done. Nonetheless, for many kids, this is the daily reality. Because of the cost of child care, many children are robbed of their early childhood.

With so many proud parents in the world, no wonder baby photo contests are so popular.  Of course there is usually only one winner and we all want our little darling to be it.  Here are a few tips on how to submit photos to be judged for baby photo contests.  Here is what the judges are looking for.

Can the judges see the baby’s face?  If not, then how can they judge your baby or toddler’s appearance?  If you have taken your cutie to a picture studio, chances are they have several shots of your child looking at a prop of some sort.  These are no doubt cute pictures, but opt for the shot of your child looking at the camera.  Close up facial shots are eye catching.  Your baby is indeed a cutie, let the judges see that.

Your picture-perfect view of new parenthood probably involves mom and dad staring lovingly over a crib as the baby sleeps. However, you, especially as a dad, may want to evaluate sleeping options and here's why:

1. The baby-in-crib alone is a relatively recent and distinctly American practice. If you think about it, before multi-room dwellings and back to caveman days, families used to sleep together for warmth and safety. Most of the rest of the world "co-sleeps" and finds it completely natural to do so.
