Child Care

As a mom, taking good care of my son is one of the challenges to face... Quite hard for the first time mom's... Thanks for the tips and advices of my Inay's and beloved relatives regarding child care.. They taught me the basic things to do and how to handle things that might sometimes gave us a headaches and tantrums...

Here are some child care tips that I've learned from my folks and from my basic reading through the net....

1. Give your baby a baby massage. It is believed that regular massage help preemies to gain weight; reduce colic in infants and strengthen immune systems of babies. Besides all these benefits, it a pleasure for moms to caress the delicate, soft and tender skin of their newborns and cuddle them.


2. Insuring the car seat safety of young children save children from severe injury or even death during an accident or sudden jerk.

3. A colicky baby cries and whimpers all the time and we are often at their wit's end on how to soothe their child. Colic babies cause severe sleep deprivation, frustration and exhaustion in parents as they worry constantly try to quiet the infant. Colic crying consists of frequent and prolonged outbursts. According to experts, the most common reason for colic is abdominal pain in babies and the two most common reasons that cause tummy ache in infants.

4. Carrying the growing babies might be hard for us. Toddlers, who learn to walk well, often insist on being held and carried by parents. Parents have to understand that they are not just being lazy but there are other factors that prompt them to cry for being carried by adults:
a. like the view they are able to get when their heads are at the same height at ours.
b. all children are conditioned to feel comfort from being held.
c. tend to be more at alert or afraid of new places or strangers and they feel safer and more secure in your strong arms.
d. feel that are paid no attention, if they are at your level and close to your ears, where they can easily talk to you and you will easily listen to whatever they say.

Those were samples tips I've learned and it helps a lot...
