Some babies are not just born hiccupers, they sre hiccupers before they are even born. And if your little bundle of joy hiccuped a lot inside of you, most likely he will hiccup plenty in the firs few months on the outside, too. Newborn’s hiccups, unlike the adult ones, don’t have a known cause, but [...]
Babies always give their parents something to new to worry about. And most parents get very worried when they notice that their babies’ eyes appear to be crossed. In most cases it is just extra folds of skin at the inner corners of the eyes that make the babies look cross-eyed. As baby grows, the [...]
Do you think you are spoiling your baby if you pick him up when he cries? Not at all. Studies show that pouring on the comfort he needs now, by picking him up within a couple of minutes whenever he cries and meeting all his needs, will not turn your baby into a spoiled brat, [...]
In the days before parenthood, any season was the season for a trip. But now even a two-day trip might seem too overwhelming to consider attempting. You can expect to spend more time planning a trip than taking one. Though vacations with baby will always be a challenge, they can be both feasible and enjoyable. [...]
Babies have a lot of territory to conquer and some of it on their own bodies. The finger, hand, toes, feet, penis, vagina, and another curious appendage, the ear, will all be subject of exploration sooner or later. If your baby’s pulling and tugging at his ear is not accompanied by crying or discomfort, fever [...]
You may not have a degree in child’s development, but when it comes to your baby’s development you are an expert. You spend more time interacting with your little one than anyone else. You probably notice a lot of things in your baby’s development that others might miss. When you have a concern about your [...]
Almost every stuffed animal your baby will encounter will be lovable and huggable. You just have to make sure those teddies, doggies, and giraffes are as safe as they are cute. Here are a few tips on that: Make sure that there was no wire used to attach any part (like ears). If the wire [...]
You may be tempted to try out that favorite childhood activity, like holding hands (one parent on each side) and being swung through the air, when your toddler is already on two feet, or almost there. Resist. Young child still has rather loose joints and swinging him by the hands or suddenly twisting or tugging [...]
Some parents assume that shaking a baby is a safer way to discipline (or to let their stem off when they are angry) than spanking. That is an extremely dangerous assumption to make. First of all, it is important to know that babies are too young to be disciplined effectively. Second of all, any kind [...]
When it comes to choosing a toothbrush for your baby, looks are not everything, but favorite characters and bright colors are always helpful. Quality is very important. Bristles should be soft so they don’t injure baby’s tender gums. If your little one likes to chomp down on them they will become rough around the edges [...]
The first three years of you baby’s life will have a huge impact on the quality of his or her life, even though they will not remember much, if anything. These first three years are mostly filled with eating, sleeping, crying, and playing. You may ask how can a period of time when your child [...]
Make room for daddy. Fathers matter as much as mothers do, in some respects even more, when it comes to a child’s development. Researches have found that infants and toddlers whose fathers play with them in a sensitive, supportive, and challenging way will form closer and more trusting relationships with them when they become teenagers [...]
First of all you do not have to give your baby a bath every day until he or she starts getting down and dirty on all fours. Just make sure that a proper spot cleaning during diaper changes and after feedings is done and a bath two or three times a week before your munchkin [...]
Circumcision is probably the oldest medical procedure still performed. It reduces the risk of infection of the penis and eliminates the risk of phimosis ( when the foreskin remains tight as your baby boy grows and cant be retracted as it normally can in older boys). Phimosis can be very painful and sometimes interfere with [...]
Sure, crying is a baby’s only form of communication – but that doesn’t mean you will always know exactly what your baby boy is trying to say. Not to worry. We will help you figure out what those whimpers and wails really mean: “I am hungry.” A short and low pitched cry that rises and [...]
It is generally agreed that teaching a child a second language gives him an invaluable skill, and may help him to think in different ways, possibly even improving his future academic performance in other areas. If the language is one that some of his relatives speak, it also gives him a significant link with his [...]
Many babies have problems with their skin before they are a months old. And it is unfair that it arrives just in time for a visit from the grandparents or the first formal portrait. Infant acne affects around 40 percent of all newborns and begins at two to three weeks. It can often last until [...]
