A Healthy Baby is A Blessing (and A Healthy Challenge)

Having a healthy baby is such a big blessing! 

Sometimes it’s so hard to wait those 9 long months to hold your baby in your arms, but, it ‘s definitely worth it.

I think those 9 months can be a blessing in themselves because they give you time to prepare for your new addition to your family.

If you are waiting for your firstborn, this can be especially true. 

A child definitely changes the dynamics in your family life.  And nothing will be ‘like it was before’ again.  So take the time to savor those quiet moments and peaceful walks.  Enjoy yourself and don’t feel guilty at all, because soon your life will change ... for the better.

Children are definitely a blessing ... but, they do bring a lot of change and challenges with them too.

I believe we can all use those 9 long, expectant months to prepare ourselves (and our families) for those challenging blessings.

Communication - that's what a baby's crying is for. This sweet thing that suddenly turn into a fit of tears is just craving for your sweeter attention. All cultures in the world nod to this pattern all infants are accustomed to.  

A baby cries the most during his or her first three months. Though the amount of crying steadily increase, the crying time period may vary from an hour to most of the day and this could still be considered within normal range. Find out more at  The Baby Place

Communicating With Your Baby At An Early Age

As some of you know and those who will find out one day, knowing what your baby wants and when can be very frustrating to new or experienced parents.  I remember going through, are they hungry, wet, tired, hurting, bored, just want to be held, sick.  These are just a few of the possibilities.  When your baby is crying and you can't find out what they want can lead to frustration for you and your baby.
My grandson was a late talker, he did not start talking until he was 2 1/2, so figuring out what he wanted turned into a game show, everyone was guessing and trying to make him happy.  When we were expecting our second grandchild, I bought a book about signing with your baby for my son and daughter-in-law.  They were skeptical at first and in a nice way laughed at me, but agreed to give it a genuine try to avoid what they went through with their first child.
Our second grandchild, precious little Allison is now 18 months, and is signing like crazy.  She started signing when she was about 8 months old, this is far earlier than a child would start talking.  It started out with just a few signs, and I can tell you this is much easier than listening to a baby cry until "you" figure out what they want.
Babies who can sign have shown less frustration and are much happier.  Learning sign language at an early age helps the brain development in the critical early years.  Children who sign are showing advanced language skills than those who do not sign.
Signing also provides a unique bonding experience between you and your child.  Our 4 year old grandson is learning signing along with his baby sister, they communicate back and forth, is not for sign language it would be a guessing game for him also.
Signing can come in handy, especially for those who use ASL as their primary language.  It is also fun for everyone in the family.  I've found a excellent e-book that gives very detailed information about signing with your baby.  It is actually better than the one I originally got for my son.  They are expecting their third and final child, I have purchased this e-book for my daughter, she is expecting her first child in about a month.  This book gives more information and also comes with bonus items.  If your looking to make your life easier for you and your  baby, of even if your baby is a toddler or older, then you need to buy this book.  You will not regret it, the regret will come when you don't have it and your baby is constantly screaming for no reason.  Those of you that are parents know exactly what I'm talking about!!!   Check it out:    a href="http:janrhys.signbaby.hop.clickbank.net/"target=_top>SIGNING FOR BABIES</a>

Teddy Bears- a baby\'s first friend

Your baby's first friend will very likely be his/her teddy bear.
In 1902 when President Theodore Roosevelt was in Mississippi to settle a border dispute between Louisiana and Mississippi. While there he went on a hunting trip. Members of the hunting party tied a small, black bear cub to a tree for him to shoot. Seeing how helpless the small bear was he refused.

The Adoption Option

Adoption is an answer to prayer for many people, a miracle and their only hope for ever having children. There are thousands of people in the world who are unable to have children of their own for health reasons. This is unfortunate and extremely disappointing for couples who desperately want children. For most people, starting and raising a family is the most important goal in their lives. This dream is quickly diminished when a doctor informs them that having children naturally is not an option.

Adoption is the only alternative for couples who are unable to reproduce. Adoption provides hope and happiness for thousands of couples. It offers them an opportunity to become parents and raise children in a family environment. Adoption offers these couples a privilege that otherwise would have been impossible. Many people choose adoption because it is there only chance to have the family they always dreamt of. Some couples adopt one child leading to adopting one or more further down the road.

The Trials of Toilet Training

Toilet training is difficult for both parent and child. Based on the research of two psychologists, Nathan Azrin and Richard Foxx, the average child can be fully trained in less than four hours. They began their training with mentally handicapped adults and successfully taught 95% in three days. With the added emphasis on language and verbal rehearsal they attempted to teach children and were astounded at the results. Their methods eliminate the fear damaging the child's psyche by making toilet training a pleasant experience. The child is not simply toilet "trained", he is toilet "educated", that is, the complete process from knowing it's time to emptying the pot and flushing the waste down, all unsupervised. Any parent would agree, this is incredible. They use a combination of the same principals used in Practical Applications of Psychology. The overall objective is to teach the child to toilet himself with the same independence as an adult without the need for reminders, continued praise, or assistance. This method is rapid because of the variety of learning techniques. Learning by imitation, learning by teaching, a partial reinforcement schedule with rewards that increase the need and the negative reinforcement of disapproval are all employed.
Children learn best by imitation and teaching with the aid of a hollow doll. The child gives the doll a drink then is told the doll has to "peepee" and he must help her. After the child assists in removing the doll's pants, the liquid is released. The child must observe the flow of liquid. into the potty chair. The adult and the child then praise the doll and the child then assists the doll in redressing and emptying the pot in the standard toilet and flushes. Then the child is instructed to ask is the doll is dry and feel her pants. If they are dry the doll gets a treat. The child is then asked if he is dry; if he is, he can then eat the doll's treat. After two or three drills, distract the child and cause and 'accident' by spilling some liquid on the doll's pants. When the child discovers the wetness, use instructions and guidance to help the child correct the doll. First, let the doll know he is displeased, "Big girls don't wet their pants." Second, the child helps the doll practice again on the potty then back to the scene of the accident. Since the pants will still be wet, this can be continued three times. Then have the child feel his own pants, and if they are dry he is rewarded with a drink. The child then assists the doll in changing her pants. The doll demonstration trials are continued until the child understands all the steps; usually less than an hour.
When questioning the child, begin with an instruction, "Go to the potty." After a few times, switch to "Do you have to potty?" to a general statement, "Where do you potty?" to "Are your pants dry?" which is not a reminder, but a dry pants inspection. To increase motivation, use all types of rewards: Hugging, smiling, clapping, verbal praise, snacks, drinks and friends or family members who care. Always tell the child why you are praising him. In the beginning, show approval at the start of an act to encourage the next step as done with shaping, then as he progresses show approval only for the completion. Praise is further limited to dry pants inspections, since this is the overall objective. Also, as you see the child needing less manual guidance, stand further and further away. Resist the urge of further assisting the child.
When an accident does occur, spend a few seconds verbally displaying disappointment,"No, your pants are wet, you have to practice some more." Practice twice going to the pot from the scene of the accident and pulling down pants at a quick pace, then raising them again. Practice another eight times from different locations, so he will remember to rapidly use the bathroom, no matter where he is.
The next step is the inspection. Since he has not changed yet, they are wet. Tell him again that you and his heros are disappointed. Repeat ten times. Have the child take off the wet pants, put them in the laundry, get a new pair, put them on and then clean up any leakage with a sponge.
Love your child, but disapprove of wetting. If the procedure does not work with the child, continue where you left off the previous day. In any event, continue dry pants inspections until no accidents occur for a week. Accidents will happen because of new distractions, use the same corrective procedures previously discussed.

Common baby accidents

Common baby accidents: "Even if you put your child in a glass case for protection, he'd find a way to break the glass and cut himself. Accidents happen in childhood, despite your best childproofing and safety efforts.

Here you'll find a list of the most common childhood emergencies and injuries, followed by breakdowns of the most common accidents from birth to 6 months, and 7 months to a year.

The most common childhood injuries

• Burns, one of the most common childhood accidental injuries. These include sunburns and burns caused by stoves, lamps, matches, lighted cigarettes, fireplaces, wood stoves, and hot liquid from a pan, cup, bath, or hot water heater.

• Head injuries caused primarily by falls from high chairs, beds, furniture, stairs, and play equipment.

• Choking on food or foreign objects.

• Strangulation caused by strings, ties, ribbons, and cords on toys, clothing, and household appliances and fixtures.

• Nose injuries caused by running into stationary objects, falling on a hard surface, or deflecting a flying toy (or the fist or foot of another child).

• Items stuck in a nostril, like small stones, chewable vitamins, pebbles, and peas.

• Cuts and scratches caused by sharp fingernails (either your baby's own or some other child's), pets, sharp obje"

Reading to Your Baby - Before He or She is Born!

Did you know that reading to your baby before he or she is born can help your baby bond with you and actually can produce benefits for you as a mother.

It is surprising, but recent studies have shown that a baby is listening in to you from 24 weeks of age and on until birth!  It is most likely because of this fact, that a baby can recognize your voice after birth.

If you begin reading to your baby now, there are some benefits not only for your baby, but also for you.  Certain calming chemicals are released when a mother relaxes and focuses on her baby,
like when you read a story to your unborn child.  This in turn, allows the baby to also relax and share this bonding moment with you.

Another benefit for you is the fact that if a baby is read the same story again and again, he or she will come to recognize the story and settle down when it is read. 

And still yet another (really great) benefit comes for you after the birth of her child.  Studies have shown that if you read the same book after your baby is born, your baby will still have the same comforting and calming response to the story.  So, in other words, if you’re baby is crying and needs to be calmed down or needs to take a nap - read your book and see what happens!  (Boy, I wish I would have known this as a new mom).

For even a greater benefit, be sure to play either Vivaldi or Mozart when you are reading to your unborn baby.  The music of these composers seems to be most calming for babies.  One study, mentions that the music of Brahms and Beethoven ‘drove the babies to distraction’.

Be sure to give reading a try - especially if you’re a mom for the first time or if you feel a little distant from your baby.  Reading can make a great bond with your baby - before and after birth!

The Right Doctor Can Make All the Difference!

Now, I know some of you who are pregnant, don't have the luxury
of being able to choose who your doctor will be for your delivery;
but, some of you will - so choose wisely.

It really can make a big difference in how you feel when that
special moment of delivery comes. For instance, the right doctor can
be encouraging and help you to feel more relaxed. Those qualities
can be especially helpful when you're in the throes of labor!

For example, I knew that I would be more comfortable with a woman doctor
so I started searching around for one, even years before I got pregnant - it took us awhile :) .
But, I had to actually travel to the next town and ended up having my first (and second) baby
in that town - but, it was well worth! (And, the fact that the next town over from where I
lived was the town I grew up in, also was a big incentive).

I hope you are able to find the right doctor for you because it will make that special
moment (or more realistically 'hours') go much better for you.

Placenta previa

Much has changed since I last gave birth in 1986, but one thing that has not changed is the potentially deadly condition called placenta previa.

Placenta previa is when the placenta, which surround the developing baby and carries nourishment from the mother's body to the baby (and also carries away the baby's wastes) detaches from the uterine wall prematurely. If the baby is not developed enough to survive, this spells death. This is also major trouble for the mother, as profuse bleeding usually occurs. With this condition, things "go south" rather quickly, and unless the mother is rushed to a hospital, she could die too.

Thinking about Pregnancy

When I found out I was pregnant a lot of things entered my mind. It is scary at first, but yet exciting. Your going to be responsible for a human beings life (at least till they are 18)

The one thing I thought of is our financial situation. Are we ready for this financially. We bother were working, making a decent income but were we ready for this? I came to the conclusion that we were and what ever problem we will face that we could overcome it.

The next thing was living space. Since we were in a one bedroom apartment we would definitely have to move. Where would we go? should we think of another apartment or maybe buy a home.

If you have a partner, what values do you share and what areas do you need to negotiate? What would life be like for you and your child if your relationship with your current partner broke down?

Once you figure out and discuss all your thoughts between the 2 of you, having a baby is the most wonderful thing that happened to me. It was a long 9 months but they were well worth it.

TopRated: Discomfort PREGNANCY

Every pregnant woman experiences some kind of discomfort during her pregnancy. Get an overview of the most common complaints during pregnancy and gain some helpful tips to help ease those discomforts.

Some are lucky and only have a few things to deal with, like breast tenderness, swelling, backaches, headaches, piles, bladder problems and indigestion and heartburn.

Other women aren’t so lucky and have to deal with constipation, frequent nose bleeds, and morning sickness that can even last all day! Not to mention sleepless nights of tossing and turning. Once you do get to sleep, though, you (and your partner) might have to deal with some pregnancy-induced snoring as well as vivid dreams! And if that isn’t enough, others have to deal with painful leg cramps, and a heavy vaginal discharge. Unfortunately, the list of common discomforts women deal with when they are pregnant doesn’t end here!

There are also detailed descriptions of other uncomfortable pregnancy ailments including information on a yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis, Braxton Hicks contractions, bleeding gums, rhinitis, stretch marks, piles or hemorrhoids and itchy, scratchy skin. Speaking of skin, have you noticed darkening skin or that dark line under you belly button?

If you’ve developed chicken pox or group B strep, you will want to read up on it. Both of these conditions can pose a serious threat to your baby’s health, so it is important you deal with them as soon as you can.

Sex during pregnancy is another common source of discomfort for many women, not only physically but mentally (is it safe for the baby?). Get the facts so you can decide what's right for you.

Pregnancy Health Centre: Life With a Newborn

Your most important job during the first few weeks of your baby's life is learning to be a parent. Successfully adapting to having a new baby will allow you to take the best care of your baby, but it will also mean you find the time to take care of yourself. The links below discuss many of the issues that may arise during the course of caring for yourself and your baby. The challenges of successful breastfeeding may be one of your most important concerns during the first weeks of your child's life.

New parents (especially first-time parents) may feel overwhelmed by the demands of having a new baby. If you are worried or scared that your baby is unwell, you should call your caregiver for direction. Here is a list of symptoms that should prompt you to call your baby's doctor.

Ideally you have arranged for someone to stay with you for the first week; someone you can trust and count on for advice and support. Try to have help nearby in the first three weeks for when you just need a break or someone to run to the store. Your family and friends are probably also excited about your new baby, so you may have lots of 'helpers.' For some women, too much attention can be a problem. Here are some tips for keeping visits manageable and helpful.

Despite this support, up to 80 percent of mothers have the 'baby blues' in the first three to five days after the birth. The new demands of parenting combined with the hormonal changes expected after the birth result in some predictable emotional valleys. Feeling irritable, helpless or teary may all be reasonable responses. If these feelings are not manageable, or if you feel unable to cope or disinterested in your well being and that of your child, these feelings may be signs of postpartum depression. Call your doctor or midwife to get help dealing with these feelings. This is the best thing you can do to protect yourself and your baby.
