Boost language development with slow, sing-songy, excited speech according to research out of University of Washington. This isn’t babytalk as you’re encouraged to use grammatically correct words—not silly or cute words. ⁣
⁣
✔️The study found that when parents made a solid effort to talk with these qualities, 18 month old babies knew and used more words. ⁣
⁣
⁣✔️A study from Stanford University found that babies listen and engage more when parents use this colorful way of speaking.

Babies cry a lot especially during the first 5 mon

Babies cry a lot especially during the first 5 months of life. A normal healthy baby may cry up to 5 hours or more each day. Babies cry the most at the age of 2 months. After the age of 2 months, they will lessen their cry each week.

Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) is a form of child abuse. The kind of abuse involves violently shaking a baby hard from their shoulders, arms, or legs which can cause serious and lifelong damage. The baby’s brain moves back and forth within the skull, which can cause bleeding within the skull.

When the baby is crying and you feel overwhelmed, do the following:

Place the baby in a safe place like a crib
Get out from the room and take a deep breath, read a book for a bit
Call a friend or family member to vent or ask for help
Make sure that every person who cares for your child knows to never, ever shake a baby.

Why you should embrace messy mealtimes (sometimes)…⁣
⁣
There are many solid reasons to encourage your baby to eat freely. I’m not talking about baby-led weaning. I’m talking about letting your baby feel, squish, and touch their food. ⁣
⁣
Allowing your baby to use all his or her senses as he eats increases the odds he’ll eat it down the road. But the goal is not to fool your baby into eating lots of foods. The goal is to prevent fussy eating habits and encourage your baby’s little hungry mind. ⁣
⁣
I’m not encouraging messy mealtimes any and all the time—but rather when you feel up to it. ⁣
⁣
Here are a few ways to allow a little mess:⁣
⁣
Keep mealtimes short⁣
⁣
Only put small amount of food on the plate at a time⁣
⁣
Put highchair in a place that’s easy to clean⁣
⁣
End meals when more food is thrown than eaten⁣
⁣

@labor.nurse.mama - Your baby has been born and is hopefully laying skin to skin on top of you.⁠
⁠
So what happens next?⁠
⁠
Here's how it goes:⁠
⁠
Your provider waits for your placenta to be delivered. Don't fear this mama, it's pretty simple and straightforward. You will feel a little cramp, about 15-30 min after you deliver baby. Then you do a little push and out comes the blob that is called the placenta. No biggie!⁠
⁠
After you deliver the placenta, most facilities immediately start Pitocin to prevent hemorrhages. If you are low risk, you can say no, but do your research about this option.⁠
⁠
Your provider will then do a repair if you tore or had an episiotomy. ⁠
⁠
After the repair, your nurse will do the following:⁠
⁠
👩‍⚕️ clean you and scoot you back up into a comfy position. (Baby should still be right on top of you!).⁠
⁠
👩‍⚕️Put pads and maybe an ice pack onto your perineum.⁠
⁠
👩‍⚕️Rub your fundus (top of uterus) every 15 min to prevent hemorrhages.⁠
⁠
👩‍⚕️ Stop the epidural pump (if you had one).⁠
⁠
👩‍⚕️ Straighten your room and clean up all delivery items. ⁠
⁠
👩‍⚕️Take the baby's vital signs (insist she does this on top of you!).⁠
⁠
👩‍⚕️ Dim the lights for baby to open her eyes up wide. (you may need to ask).⁠
⁠
👩‍⚕️ Get you drinks and food (if you're not vomiting).⁠
⁠
👩‍⚕️ Leave your room once stable, so that your new family can bond!⁠
⁠
👩‍⚕️AT the end of recovery, take you to the bathroom and teach you how to do peri care. She will also leave your IV in, but remove all the tubing. ⁠
⁠
I'm sure I am missing something, but this should give you a good idea of what to expect. ⁠
⁠
What was your first 2 hours like?

Anyone can develop allergies at any point in their

Anyone can develop allergies at any point in their life. Children are no exception to that, even toddlers. Allergies are also common for those who have a family history of allergies.

Here are some ways to relieve your toddler’s allergy symptoms:

✨ Bathing - Use scent-free and gentle soap and shampoo for your toddler’s bath. Bath your toddler each night to remove any allergens from the day.

✨ Laundry - Use gentle cleansers and detergents when washing clothes. It is best to dry clothes inside as wind can blow pollen and other allergens on clothes.

✨ Clothing - If your child is allergic to pollen, dress your child in long pants when going out to play.

✨ Cleaning - Vacuum rugs and floors frequently and avoid using carpet in your house. Clean dust mites.

✨ Bedroom - Use allergen-proof covers. Change sheets weekly. Replace pillows every 2-3 years

It is very important to treat your child’s allergies. Call to schedule an appointment with your today to help you better understand what it is that your toddler is allergic to and have a treatment plan.

Is your teething baby keeping you up at night? You

Is your teething baby keeping you up at night? You need to understand how to soothe sore gums.

📌 Do not give frozen teether or teething ring as it could damage your baby’s gums.

📌It is not recommended to use teething necklaces. They are dangerous as they can strangle the baby. They can also choke if the necklace breaks and they swallow the beads.

📌 Don’t dip the teether in sugary substances.

📌 Massage your baby’s gums gently with your clean finger. If the teeth haven’t come in yet, let the baby gnaw on your finger.

📌Stay away from over-the-counter teething gels and liquids that have the ingredient benzocaine. FDA says it should not be given to children under 2 years old.

Teething can be stressful for you and your baby at first. But it’ll get easier as you both learn how to soothe each new tooth that pops out.

@mommysbundle - Let’s chat newborn baths🐤💦! It may seem a little intimidating at first, but bathing your new baby is such a special time — with the benefits of parent-baby bonding, inducing sleep and even soothing a fussy baby!

But don’t worry, daily bathing is not necessary (or recommended as it can dry out that delicate skin!) Usually a couple times a week is fine.

Here are some tips to help get you started!

GATHER SUPPLIES First things first, always gather your supplies ahead of time. You’ll need: a towel, 1-2 washcloths, mild baby wash, clean clothes and diaper. You might think this is a given, but forgetting a washcloth or towel happens more often than you think — and you never want to leave a baby unattended in a tub!

KEEP A HAND ON BABY
It can get quite slippery in a tub, so always keep a firm grip on baby as you use the other to wash. Although many baby tubs offer added support for newborns, you never want to rely on the tub to keep baby in place. Support baby’s body whatever way you can — the clutch position, one hand supporting the head or across the back.

CHECK TEMPERATURE
This goes for both the water and room temperature. Babies lose body heat quickly, so aim for a room temp. between 75-80F. And while you always want to keep baby comfortable in the tub — warm, not hot is key. The water temp. should be around 100F. NOTE: Even if you think the temp. is fine, keep checking with a simple wrist test as water temperature can change quickly. Safety first!

CLEAN IN SECTIONS
Work in sections as you wash baby, starting at the face and then body. You can always use separate wash clothes for private parts. For the face, water alone is fine unless baby is super dirty. Reserve soap for the rest of the body. And don’t forget to get into all those little crevices: around the ears, under the arms and the neck (where a lot of food or spit up gets caught in)!

NAILS, HAIR & EARS
After bathing, remember to look after other essential baby care. Use a soft-bristle brush gently on the head, trim baby’s nails with a file or safety scissors and use a cotton swab around the outer area of baby’s ears.
