Preserving The Best Memories Of Childhood With Baby Stickers

Having a baby at home is the most beautiful experience for everyone, especially the new parents. They continue to find the most advanced and the most beautiful way to store their child's growing years through pictures and videos. With today's advancement, clicking pictures has become instant and you can view them on any portable device. With technology comes complications. Storing the photos on various folders of your computer can create a little trouble. Among the thousands of pictures stored on your hard drive it can be difficult to distinguish your child's age and growth.

To make things easy for yourself get monthly baby stickers if you have a newborn in the house or if you are expecting one. Recording a baby's growth is rarest of the moments and you don't experience it very often in life. Everything your child does in the beginning years of life is extraordinary and you will want to relish it throughout your life. But just clicking random pictures will be of no help unless you tag them properly. Specifically, one needs to do this with the pictures of the newborn because in the coming years you will find yourself trying to remember when the photo was taken.

Breastfeeding A Sick Baby

Your breastfed baby sick? The best medicine you can give baby right now is breast milk. Breast Milk Will:

(1) Breast milk will create a protective lining on baby's stomach and heal the body faster, it contains antibodies that will help fight the infection or virus faster.
(2) Breast milk is easily digested, which is great, especially if baby has trouble keeping anything down. The easy digestion will also help to prevent tummy cramps (colic symptoms), which can make baby feel even more miserable. Nutrients and vitamins are therefore also digested faster.
(3) Breastfeeding is calming for baby. Everyone needs a little comfort when feeling sick. The oxytocin which is released while breastfeeding will help calm baby and give an overall feeling of well-being.
(4) Breast milk will hydrate baby, there is no need for other liquids, unless advised so by your "breastfeeding friendly" doctor.

A guide to go by:
(1) Nurse baby as often as possible and allow baby to comfort feed.

The 5 Things a Baby Taught Me

It's no secret that I love children. They're sweet, adorable and... okay, maybe not all the time. But still, they're precious. I was observing one of my baby cousins a while back, and I was startled to hear him talk to me. Not in full, grammatically correct sentences or clear tones, no. He was teaching me through baby talk-non-verbal cues that can make a lot of sense if you're paying attention. I learned 5 things from him that day. Let me tell you about them.

First, I learned that if you want something, you have to cry (read: ask) for it. Uh, I guess that could mean writing a formal request, but in reality it usually means losing all your inhibitions and letting out a healthy, heartfelt howl. It's a sure way to get noticed, and if you do it long enough, you should get what you want. (Of course, it doesn't always work, but it usually does, under the right circumstances and with the right people).
