MY FIRST VIDEO HAD TO BE OF HAYLEE! Haylee Danyelle Mazzella was born 7-13-01 to Tommy & Sonya Mazzella, in Louisiana. She was special from that first moment...One of the most wonderful things about Haylee was that she was always, always, always smiling! She was such a sweet little girl; no one ever saw her be mean to anybody. She loved everybody; she adored her family; she loved animals. She was the most beautiful child we have ever seen! Haylee drowned on 6-3-06 at a barbeque that some relatives were having. At a little after 4:00 pm, Haylee's mommy told Haylee it was time to get out of the pool as her little brother needed to have his diaper and wet clothes changed for the ride home. Haylee begged for just 10 more minutes of swimming, and her step-grandmother said she would watch her. Haylee's mommy reluctantly said yes and went into the house. She was gone less than 10 minutes. In that short time, Haylee's step-grandmother decided to go into the house as well, and she left Haylee unsupervised in the swimming pool. Haylee's mommy started hearing people yelling "Call 911!" & came back outside, thinking someone had hurt their foot or some other minor thing. Instead she saw her 4 year old daughter laying on the ground having CPR done on her. She was lifeless. Paramedics rushed her to the hospital but it was too late... Baby Girl had been under the water for too long & she just didn't have the strength to come back & stay here where she belongs. She was only 4 years old ...

Cleaning a Mattress After Bed-Wetting

The best way of cleaning a mattress after bed-wetting is to wash it in bath-tub with warm water and a mild detergent and dry it under the sun, although this would take more than 2 days to dry. In the evening toss the mattress to the other side which would not have dried. Putting the mattress in a washing machine drier could be hazardous. Use urine gone to remove the urine odors and stains instantly. This is a spray that gives out a fantastic smell. Thus this is one of the easiest and most convenient ways to get rid of the bed wetting stains. If you are very particular about it, it is better that you follow this route.

Urine-off also helps you to get rid of urine odour and other related issues. Although not dirt cheap it is worth trying. Using this method will also be a great help for you. This method is also an easy to follow method which will very quickly help you in getting rid of the urine stains and smell.

Cleaning a mattress after bed-wetting is an ardent task. If the mattress is not attended to immediately by taking the necessary precautions; dampness and urine odor with encourage bed-bugs and other insects to feast on your mattress and create unnecessary havoc when you are sleeping on it.

Hydrogen peroxide if used in the right way could create wonders on your mattress; it takes away the smell and the stains in just a few seconds.

Cover your mattress with a plastic sheet and avoid embarrassment and discomfort. But this should be absorbed before it trickles and overflows over some other surface. Cleaning a vinyl sheet is child's play. Wiping the cover with a disinfectant is probably the easiest and the fastest way. These vinyl sheets work out economical, can easily be cleaned, are durable, no one can guess unless told about vinyl mattress protector being used. This cover thus saves a plenty of time, work and energy and saves one from discomfort, embarrassment and inconvenience. But never put the vinyl cover in the washing machine drier. diapers would also limit the cleaning up process and avoid unnecessary stains and odour.

The best way to make the child responsible and conscious of his action would be to take his help while cleaning up the mattress after bed-wetting, and also by asking him to place fresh sheets over the bed. Another thing that can be of great value to you in this regard would be the bed wetting alarm. If your child is in the habit of bed wetting, use bed wetting alarms to get rid of these issues. Bed wetting alarms have proved themselves to be really helpful to parents in this regard.

What To Buy Your Girlfriend For Her Next Birthday?

It's time to buy your girlfriend a birthday present again and you're still recovering from that look of disgust she gave you when she opened the present you gave her last year. This year, you promised, will be different.

You want to tell her how special she is to you, but you've already exhausted all your 'great ideas'. The challenge of being a modern man who always knows what to buy for birthdays now just seems like an impossible ideal.

Your at your wit's end trying to figure out the ideal gift and you can feel a sweat coming on just imagining those busy shopping centres on Saturday, as your mates are all out playing golf ...

Ok, breathe and relax. Your worries are nearly over because by reading this article you are only a few minutes away from being armed with enough ideas to make sure you stay in her good books all year, plus you won't have to go to any shopping centres.

Let's clarify a few basics: chocolates and flowers are a bit passé on their own. Although she might be glad you remembered, they don't say much about you and your personality and there is the danger that you might have given her the same gift on another occasion, which means the gift has some but minimal impact.

You want her to feel special, right? Then stay away from clichés and avoid the last minute moment of madness of buying her flowers from the Petrol station. Give her something that will appeal to her interests, personality, likes, dislikes, hobbies, and passions.

One way to do this is to make a list. Think about some recent conversations with her and try to recall any hints she might have dropped.

Finding a perfect unique gift to fit people's personalities isn't always easy though you give yourself the best chance by using your time wisely and having a range of options and one way you can do this is to take a peak at websites that list fun and interesting gifts for her and have a range of ideas all under one roof.

Thankdarling.com offers a wide range of gifts just for her and by shopping online you can avoid the trauma of 5 hour shopping trips, moody shop assistants and traffic jams. You can do everything from the comfort of your own chair and search for her present online. You can do this by category or by 'gift experiences', and if you already know what you want to buy, you can do this by occasion, or simply by selecting 'for her'.

Remember you are looking to buy a gift for her, so try and avoid getting distracted by all the latest boys toys for now. A day out paint balling and a radio-controlled helicopter might float your boat but as a gift for her? Probably a big no-no.

So to recap, draw up a list of her interests. Then think about what would suit her personality best. Is she artistic, adventurous, an animal lover, or a hopeless romantic? Once you have this sorted out you can choose from a variety of unique gift experiences for your significant other.

Here are 5 popular favourites that can make a memorable birthday for her:

You could treat her artistic taste buds to a Deluxe London Theatre Break with first rate theatre tickets, dinner and overnight stay in a 4-star hotel in the West End of London. Choose from a number of shows, such as Billy Elliott, Chicago, Evita, Les Miserables, Mamma Mia, Mary Poppins, Phantom of the Opera, The Producers, and many more. You can either relax in the hotel next morning or do some sightseeing before heading home after a relaxing break.

For some peaceful quiet time together in the sky in a hot air balloon flight available from 70 locations across the UK. You can fly above some of England's most beautiful countryside, enjoy breath-taking views, take some fabulous aerial photos, and a drink glass of champagne each! A bonus includes assisting in the inflation and the deflation of the balloon if you wish.

If you're considering gifting her a day of relaxation and self-indulgence, then go for the Special Pamper Spa Day voucher. This nationwide voucher offers at least two spa treatments at a choice of seven UK spas to spend the special day. You can spend hours together relaxing in steam and dry heat rooms, and wet areas including jacuzzi, spa baths, showers and therapeutic foot spas. In addition, you get refreshments on arrival and a scrumptious lunch at your chosen spa! You can also use other facilities such as the gym, relaxation classes and swimming pools.

You can also spend your day mingling with some perky meerkats at the wildlife park in Broxbourne, Hertfordshire. You can enter their enclosure with the keeper at feeding time and assist in feeding them. The friendly meerkats will enjoy taking treats from your hand, sitting in your lap, untying your shoelaces, and peeking in your pockets! You can also take along a few friends to take pictures of this unique experience!

If you'd like to gift your girlfriend a completely new pampering experience, then go for the Emerald Makeover Experience--complete with a fabulous array of beauty treatments including facial, manicure, and moisturising hand massage; high fashion photo shoot; and a complimentary glass of Bucks Fizz! Treat her to a memorable makeover by top make-up artists and hair stylists, and get professional photographs to remember the experience!

With gifts like these and many more like them you have no excuses not to woo and impress her on her birthday this year!

Bed Wetting Children

Many parents worry when their child continues to wet at night after they have become dry during the day. Some children do stop bed wetting at 2 -3 years but it does vary and can depend on physical development as well as learning to control their bladder. Most are dry by 6 years, although up to 20% still wet occasionally, with a small percentage continuing into their teens. It is more common for boys to have a bed wetting problem than girls.

To stop bed wetting a child has to learn to recognise when their bladder is full and to be able to hold it. A newborn baby is unable to do this. A physical problem such as a small, underdeveloped bladder may cause difficulties, but bed wetting may also be genetic, many children have a parent who also bed wet.

Having a child who wets the bed is a nuisance, both for the child and the parents. Many children produce a lot of urine at night and standard diapers can leak. If the child is still young, night diapers are the easiest solution, until they reach an age when you feel you should be training them. Leaving them in diapers means that the necessary training does not take place. At some point this has to happen and initially there are likely to be accidents. Some parents decide the best solution is to use a mattress protector so that if an accident does occur only a sheet and night wear needs changing.

If a child continues regular bed wetting beyond the age of 5-6 years, or if you are concerned, you should consult your physician to make sure there is no medical problem. Many children will wet occasionally and this can be caused by anxiety, for example an upset in the family or starting a new school. If the bed wetting continues when a child has been dry previously, advice should be sought.

Do not give a child too much to drink before bedtime, but ensure they are hydrated and that they go to the bathroom before bed. Some parents will wake the child to use a potty or the bathroom before retiring themselves. Many children barely wake when this happens, it all depends on the individual child.

Bed wetting alarms, that sound at the first hint of moisture, are useful and there are also vibrating watches that can be set at intervals during the night to remind a child to use the bathroom. These help a child to feel adult and in control. Make sure the route to the bathroom is well lit and you can hear if they call for any help.

Most children will grow out of bed-wetting, but it can be frustrating while it is happening. Never scold or make a big issue of it and hopefully it will become a thing of the past.

Making a Baby - Lubricants

It's always easier (and much more comfortable) to get wild when you're wet-and vice versa, too. But when you're trying to conceive, you're better off sticking with nature's lube-your own vaginal secretions. Most experts agree that lubricants-particularly oil-based lubricants such as Vaseline or massage oils-not only meddle with your cervical mucus, preventing it from doing its job optimally, but can also alter the pH in your vaginal tract, causing it to be extra inhospitable to sperm.

Some types of lubricants can even be toxic for sperm, killing them off before they can get started (and believe it or not, another natural lubricant-saliva-falls into the sperm-killer category). Water-based lubricants aren't green-lighted during preconception time either (even though they're the most doctor-recommended lubes at other times during a woman's sex life). Also off the bedside table: homemade or kitchen-found lubricants (such as olive oil or egg whites).

Some fertility specialists concede that a small amount of water-based lubricants (the size of a dime) won't hurt sperm or your conception chances. But if you can live (and make love) without it, it's probably best to lay off the K-Y until baby's on board (at which point you might not be needing any help in the lubrication department-pregnancy hormones typically turn on the secretions faucet).

There are brands of lubricant that claim to be sperm friendly. According to the manufacturers, these lubricants mimic cervical mucus and have the same pH as sperm, helping them feel at home in the vagina. Anecdotally, many women who needed lubrication because of dryness say they conceived using these sperm-friendly lubricants.

If TTC has made lovemaking feel like a chore, try putting some pleasure back into the work of procreation. Spending more time (or at least some time) on foreplay before getting the deed done can pay off big time-and get your juices flowing again naturally. For tips on heating things up while trying to conceive.

Cloth Diapers Vs Disposable Diapers - Pros and Cons

One of the discussions new mums and dads will have to make is about what diapers to use. I will share with you the pros and cons of both types from my experience after having six children.

Pros of Cloth:

After the initial purchase cost there is only the laundry costs. In hot climates cloth diapers are cooler to wear because natural cotton fibers breathe more easily.

Also because natural cotton fibers breathe more easily, It reduces the risk of diaper rash. They can also be used for subsequent children you may have.

Cons of Cloth:

Not practical when travelling. Time consuming with the need to laundry them. Once Baby starts to sleep all night the diaper and Baby are very wet by morning.

They need fasteners.

They tend to be bulky under Babies clothing.

Pros of Disposables

Easy to use. No need for fasteners.

No laundry needed.

Convenient when travelling.

Keeps Baby dryer at night. They tend to leak less as they have a tight, snug fit and are very absorbent.

Cons of Disposables.

Very expensive.

Baby tends to be more at risk to diaper rash.

Hot to wear in hot climates.

Bad for the environment.

These are a few of the pros and cons in regard to the what type of diaper do you use. What I found that worked for us was I used cloth through out the day while we were at home, and disposables at night. I found that by using disposables at night it keep baby a lot dryer. If I was going out or having to travel I then also used disposables. I would recommend any one living in cold climates to use disposables at night if you can afford to purchase them.

No Diaper, I just peed my pants

Bed Wetting in Older Children and Teens

Bed wetting older children and teens can become so embarrassed by the problem that it may start to affect their whole personality. They feel they are unable to lead a normal social life, missing out on sleepovers or going away to camp. This causes distress for parents, adding to the worry they feel when they are unable to overcome the problem.

It is more common for boys to suffer than girls, and it is quite common for a bed wetting child to have a parent who also wet the bed. Many children do bed wet occasionally when they are stressed. If it is not a regular occurrence, parents should not be concerned about this, but if an older child persistently bed wets, when he has previously been dry, medical advice should be sought. Most children are dry, with the occasional relapse, by the age of about six. If they are still bed wetting beyond this year, or if you are concerned before this age, you must speak to your physician to check whether there is a physical reason that needs treatment.

Night diapers, with discreet designs, are available for bed wetting older children and teens. It is tempting to use these to save constantly changing bedding, but they will not overcome the problem. It is better just to use them when the child is away from home on a sleepover or at camp. You can arrange for a responsible adult to dispose of the diaper without others being aware.

There are a number of alarms on the market that can be worn attached to nightclothes or the bedding. These will sound or vibrate when moisture is detected. Instead of using an alarm that sounds when he or she has started to bed wet some older children may prefer to wear an alarm/vibrating watch. This can be set to sound at intervals a little earlier than when the bed wetting normally occurs giving the child time to use the bathroom. Even if the child does not always wake in time, using the bathroom and achieving some dry nights will encourage them. A protective mat or night diapers can also used to lessen the risk of mattress damage if an accident should occur.

Although the problem can be frustrating, parents should always try not to lose patience with bed wetting older children and teens.

This article is for information only and the author accepts no liability for action taken. Medical advice should always be sought from your physician.

Bedwetting Solutions For Frustrated Parents

Frustrated parents spend a lot of time seeking bedwetting solutions. Older children with bedwetting problems are not uncommon, and although there are a variety of products available to keep your child dry through the night, a far better solution is to eliminate the bedwetting problem to begin with.

If a child continues to wet the bed, or starts back wetting the bed past the age of four or five, it can be a good idea to have them examined by their pediatrician, just to rule out any physical problems that could be related to the bedwetting. Usually though, the bedwetting is not a sign of any serious physical problem, and it will usually stop as children mature and become more familiar with the feeling of a full bladder and develop greater self control.

But even though children often outgrow bedwetting on their own eventually, in the meantime, it can be a frustrating problem to deal with. Luckily, there are bedwetting solutions available to help.

One type of product is the bedwetting of alarm. These devices will detect the slightest hint of moisture and sound an alarm, waking the child, and in some instances, the parents. Although bedwetting alarms can be an effective deterrent, it is still a good idea to use waterproof liners along with the alarms, as they can take several weeks or even of few months to change the child's behavior.

Unfortunately, some children who wet the bed are also very heavy sleepers. In this eventuality, they may have to be woken up by parents to avoid an "accident." Most bedwetting alarms have various settings, and can be adjusted so that the alarm will wake the parents as well as the child.

Once the child becomes conditioned to respond to the bedwetting alarm, there is usually a gradual reduction in night-time "accidents," much to the relief of the frustrated parents.

When using a bedwetting alarm, the most important consideration is that the device fits snugly so that it will not come off in the middle of the night. It is also important to note that children who tend to toss and turn excessively in the bed will not respond well to alarms in the majority of cases. If you have a child who moves around a great deal in bed, you will likely need to try a different bedwetting solution.

Pull-ups can also be used as bedwetting solutions in some cases. Generally, children have no trouble wearing pull-ups, as they are similar to underwear, and not likely to remind the child of diapers, which of course, they will feel much to old to wear.

But the problem with pull-ups is that they can sometimes be a type of crutch. Because the child knows that the pull-ups will protect the bed, they may be more likely to wet the bed than children who do not use them. One strategy that some parents use is to require the child to wear pull-ups for a month or six weeks, and then abruptly stop using them before the child can come to rely on them as a crutch.

When using any of these bedwetting solutions, parents may want to be sure they are using waterproof mattress liners and other protection, just in case.

Babies Cry - But Why?

Crying is a normal communication response that babies use but unfortunately, it can be hard for parents to listen to. A young baby's cry tugs at a parent's heart strings which can leave an adult feeling anxious, tense and guilty for not knowing why their baby is crying.

Should they be responding to their baby's cry straight away? Or should they leave him or her to 'cry it out'?

When a parent gains experience, coupled with professional knowledge and facts about why babies cry, it allows them to make parenting choices with confidence.

Why do Babies Cry?

· Hunger
· Physical discomfort such as too hot, cold, abdominal bloating, pain, sick or wind
· Overstimulated
· Tired/overtired
· Passing a bowel movement
· In need of a reassuring cuddle
· Colic
· Release of accumulated 'stress'

During a baby's first 8 weeks of life they often experience a "fussy" period which can last 4 - 5 hours each day. This period is often known as the 'witching hour' and usually occurs in the late afternoon from about 3 -4pm. During this fussy period, a baby will cry fitfully and appear hungry, gassy and unable to sleep. Settling techniques and patience from parents will be needed to cope during this time. These settling techniques may include carrying your baby in a sling or carrier, a deep warm bath, an extra feed, a walk outside, cuddles, electronic swing or handing them to another carer.

Once a parent has learnt to identify their child's different cries, it is then a matter of what can they do to help. Below are some ideas based on both personal and professional findings over many years. Remember not all crying is 'bad' and does not necessarily need to be stopped. A parent's knowledge and perception of their baby's crying will determine their response to it.

1. A Hunger Cry

During the first few days after birth, a baby can be nursed from both breasts whenever they cry and at least every 2 hours during the day until breast milk has 'come in'. When there is breast milk present, a baby should be encouraged to nurse from one breast each feed until the breast is empty (approximately 30-40 minutes). Babies need to be kept awake while nursing to ensure a good nutritive suck. Offer the second breast only if they are still hungry.

From 3 weeks old a breastfed baby should be nursed at least every 3 hours during the day and every 4 hours if a baby is formula fed. This may mean waking your baby if they sleep too long during the day.

Tips: Feed more frequently during a growth spurt. (approximately 7 days, 3 weeks, 6 weeks and 3 months)
and ensure good attachment to the breast otherwise they will tire themselves out by feeding without getting enough milk.

2. Physical Discomfort

a. Massaging your baby daily will facilitate a conditioned touch relaxation response which is beneficial for your baby's maturing central nervous system.

b. Have your baby assessed for 'Reflux' if they are:

-Always unsettled and crying.
-Will not lie happily flat on their back.
-Screams after spitting up.
-Gulps and swallows even when not feeding.
-Hiccoughs often.
-Wakes after 20-30 minutes sleep on a regular basis.

c. Identify any intolerance to foods particularly dairy and wheat products. There are telltale signs and symptoms with a breast fed or formula fed baby that can be assessed by a local health care professional. Some of these signs include but are not limited to eczema or rashes, vomiting, bowel changes and bloating.

d. Prevent excessive weight gain by not over feeding.

e. Dress a baby with one layer more than the parent who feels the heat the most.

f. Try using a pacifier.

g. Sing or read to them. Babies are calmed by the rhythmical sounds of your voice and don't worry if you are off key!

h. Observe for fever, listless and less than 6 wet diapers in a day which would indicate the need to see a Doctor.

3. Overstimulated

· Allow a baby space after each feed to move their limbs and be free of being held.

· Be aware that some babies find lights, too many people, smells and noise of shopping centres and other 'busy' areas overwhelming and will be unsettled and cry either during the visit or after they have returned home.

4. Tiredness

· Be mindful of how much sleep your baby requires and ensure they are given the opportunity to sleep at regular intervals.

· Establish sleep 'cues' such as swaddling or offering a pacifier. These cues can help your baby recognize it is sleep time.

· Become aware of, and watch out for tired signs such as jerky limb movements, facial grimacing, yawning, breaking eye contact and clenched fists. These are signs that your newborn baby is ready to be settled to sleep.

5. Overtired

· Try not to ignore the tired signs outlined above, as this is the window of opportunity that makes it easier for a baby to settle into sleep.

· A baby will not attend well to the bottle or breast if they are overtired. Therefore, always feed them just after they wake not before they are about to sleep.

· If a young baby needs to cry, they do not need to 'cry it out' alone in their crib but you can instead hold them and be calmed and comforted while they cry in your arms.

· When an overtired baby finally falls asleep, their sleep may be fitful and shortened, lasting only 15 - 20 minutes. Therefore try to avoid your baby getting to this stage.

6. Passing a Bowel Movement

A young baby often cries prior to a bowel movement which is called 'Infant Dyschezia'. This condition lasts for only 2 weeks and is not associated with any other bowel changes such as blood, mucous, froth or anal fissures which are signs that need to be assessed by a professional.

7. In Need of a Cuddle

Prior to being born your baby has been close to their mother's heart beat and aware of other rhythmical muffled sounds from the womb and outside noises. They have been floating in the warmth of fluid and felt secure being encapsulated and tucked in close in the womb. Exposure to the outside world full of loud and sudden sharp noises, smells, brightness, wearing of clothes, taste of milk and bodily functioning can be a massive adaptation for your baby to make. A secure, reassuring and comforting cuddle may be just the thing that helps them feel everything is ok.

8. Colic

The term colic is often used to describe a baby who is extremely unsettled, irritable and crying on a regular basis. It is a time when all the techniques that had been working or could work to settle your baby are not working anymore. Your baby is pulling their legs up and crying a desperate sounding cry. They may stiffen their back and not want to be held. All the usual comforting measures are not working and your baby, (and most likely you) are getting more desperate. This is a difficult time for most parents and not for just first time parents. You feel useless and hope that you are not missing something serious.

There is often a good explanation for why a baby behaves in such a manner and with careful diagnosis and appropriate measures this distress can be reduced. These can include:

-"Growth spurts" (occurring for approximately 24 hours at 3 days, 7 days, 2-3 weeks and 6 weeks of age).
-The 'witching or arsenic hour' lasting for 3 - 4 hours which is usually gone by 8 -12 weeks and is thought to be connected to a baby's developing nervous system.
-Being overtired.
-Misreading your babies cues e.g. trying to feed when crying from tiredness or putting to sleep when hungry.
-Your baby's temperament.
-Being handled by an over anxious and nervous parent or carer in a tense household.
-Inner rhythm known as "circadian rhythm" not yet established.
-Over-stimulation.
-Reflux, which can also be 'silent' with no vomiting.
-Allergies and/or intolerance to certain food.

If all these options are explored and nothing is discovered, then that could be labelled as true colic, which can last until 3 months old. Not knowing why a baby is crying as well as dealing with the crying, can be extremely difficult and tiring for parents to cope with. A good support network is vital for parent's whose child suffers from colic, as it can be a very draining time both emotionally and physically.

Some Settling Methods to Try:

· Use the stroller to rock them off to sleep.
· Use an electronic swing, carrier or sling.
· Give your baby a relaxation bath either on their own or in a deep one with you. Try putting a cup of camomile tea in the bath water and a warm wash cloth over their tummy.
· Quick breast feed or suck on a pacifier.
· Go out and meet someone or take a brisk walk with them in a stroller or sling.
· Lay down with them and hold them gently.
· Play loud 'white noise' or music in their sleeping area
· Do whatever else you might think would work for your baby, making sure to take their personality into consideration. Try to stay calm yourself and always give your baby to the one who is the calmest.
· Relax in the thought that they will grow out of it - colic usually starts at 3 weeks and continues until around 3 months.
· If you are concerned about unsettled behaviour have your baby checked by your Pediatrician or Child Health Professional.

9. Release of Accumulated 'Stress'

Due to a baby's immature nervous system, overstimulation of any of their five senses through over-handling, overfeeding, loud noises, strong fragrances and excessive brightness can be overwhelming. Exposed babies to the sensations of the world gradually, as it will be less likely to be overwhelmed. This is particularly true for the prematurely born baby.

What parents can do to help themselves cope with the demands of a crying baby.

1. Have realistic expectations - all babies cry.
2. Say 'yes' to anyone that sincerely offers to help you.
3. Build social networks with other like-minded parents who have young babies and children
4. Be realistic with what you expect to get accomplished each day.
5. Slow down your pace of life, as this precious phase of nurturing your baby will not last for long.
6. Eat regular nutritional whole foods and avoid eating too much take-out.
7. Rest each day, especially in the afternoon.
8. Do some form of outdoor exercise every day.
9. Allow each parent "alone time" to do something that they truly enjoy.
10. If you are alone and your baby's crying is causing you to be extremely anxious or frustrated, put your baby safely in their crib or basket and leave the room until you are calmer. Call someone for help if you are frightened that you will hurt your baby. Staying with them when you feel this way could result in you lashing out aggressively.

5 Reasons Why Your Baby Is Waking at Night and Won't Sleep

A baby who is waking at night is one of the most common issues parents struggle to help their baby overcome. One step to understanding how help a baby sleep better at night, is to have a better understanding of why a baby wakes at night. In this article we will highlight the 5 main reasons for a baby waking at night.

1. Your baby has a sleep association

"Sleep association" are also known as "sleep props" or "crutches." This means your baby has a specific item or way that they have been conditioned to believe they "need" in order to be able to fall asleep. For many babies, this will be a pacifier, bottle feeding or breastfeeding to sleep. For other babies, this may be some movement such as rocking, bouncing, walking or a ride in the car. Some higher needs babies will come to rely on a combination of sleep crutches such as bouncing with a pacifier.

The age of the baby and the type of sleep association are the two things to take into consideration when determining the best course of action to take to help teach a baby to fall asleep on his own and to break his dependence on his sleep crutch. It is also a good idea to keep in mind the baby's temperament when creating a sleep training plan.

2. New Developmental Milestones

As your baby learns how to crawl, pull up, walk or talk, these are all developmental milestones that can disrupt your baby's sleep at night or during nap time. The main thing to keep in mind with sleep disruptions caused by developmental milestones is to keep your expectations realistic because even when it may not seem like your baby is learning a new skills, that does not mean that she is not still learning. Even though a developmental milestone might temporarily disrupt sleep progress, it does not mean that your baby is not still learning sleep habits when you remain consistent with your sleep training. When your baby reaches an age where she can learn how to go back to sleep on her own, then night waking becomes less frequent and is much less disruptive for the whole family.

3. Your Baby is Teething

It might feel like your baby is teething constantly for two years especially when many babies experience teething troubles long before a tooth even pops through. When teething seems to make your baby wake more a night, it can be hard to know how to handle continuing to teach your baby to sleep well. Parents may wonder "Is my baby in pain?," "Is this why my baby is waking all night?" Often a baby waking due to teething is a temporary phase where a baby will go back to their regular sleep habits once they feel better as long as the parents have tried to remain consistent with putting baby to sleep as they did before teething and during the teething process. Try to have a sleep plan in place for your baby during those teething phases.

4. Baby is hungry

Many parents are told that their baby should not need a feeding during the night after a certain age. This might be true if every baby were exactly the same and had the exact same needs. It is simply not the case. On average, many babies will still need a feeding or two at six months of age. It is important to keep in mind that 11-13 hours is a long time for a baby with a small tummy to go without eating. A baby waking at night out of hunger can still be fed without creating a feeding sleep association and often a feed at night is just what a baby needs to continue to sleep through the rest of the night.

5. Babies are human too.

While it is true that most babies will thrive on a good schedule and routine, parents can sometimes lose perspective and become confused that their baby does not sleep the same every day. Babies are people too and not robots. They are going to have some unpredictability about them, their own personalities, wants and needs. There are some babies who do sleep and wake like clockwork but there are just as many who do not. In the same way that a parent may not be hungry at exactly the same time every day, a baby may not sleep at the same time every night. Babies will have good days for sleep and bad days just like everyone else.

There are many reasons why a baby can wake at night and with toddler sleep problems, then number of reasons tends to increase. Try to understand why your baby may be waking at night and then work to find a solution whether it is temporary comfort during a disruptive phase or weaning her from a sleep association. As babies grow, they will change and their capacity to learn and understand increases substantially. The same will be true about their sleep habits so it is best to try to be flexible and understanding but consistent when teaching your baby how to sleep better.

The Baby Sleep Site offers personalized sleep coaching solutions for babies and toddlers struggling to get the rest they deserve. Through a combined approach that includes everything from comprehensive e-books and one-on-one consultations to regular blog updates and sample sleep schedules, the experts at The Baby Sleep Site have been able to help countless children - and their parents - start sleeping better during the day and at night.

Different Types of Incontinence Aids for Women

Today, urinary incontinence (UI) has become a common problem among men and women of all ages. People who suffer from this medical condition undergo a lot of stress as it affects the quality of their life. It can occur due to other health problems like diabetes and obesity or as a result of surgery/surgeries. UI is highly prevalent in women, especially in women of over 60 years of age. Though various treatment options are available, it is not feasible for all to opt for this due to various reasons. But, it doesn't mean that there is no good solution to optimally manage urinary incontinence. Below discussed are the various urinary incontinence supplies for women, which would ensure independent living and maintain dignity at work or social gatherings.

Incontinence Panties: There are unisex incontinence pants, but with the specifically-designed briefs, women can get that extra protection and security. Stretch briefs with stitched-in absorbent pad are ideal for women with light incontinence. In circumstances where you cannot access the restroom easily, then opt for briefs with removable pads. In these incontinence panties, you can use pads of varied thickness for longer wear. Other type of incontinence briefs available for women is disposable brief. Tear down feature in disposable briefs makes them ideal for travel. Waterproof pants with removable pads and for wear over adult diapers are the other options on tap.

Pads and Liners: Pads are intended to be used with briefs and come in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit individual needs. Disposable and reusable insert able pads to be used with a specific brand or a variety of undergarments are sold. Though look similar to sanitary pads, they are made longer, wider and thicker than the former to best aid in the management of bladder control problems. For women with heavy incontinence, shaped (contoured) pads are the perfect choice. They usually extend from the front waist to the back waist and integrate a waterproof backing. Some even come with the materials to convert the wet into gel inside the pad. Adult diapers have a highly absorbent inner layer and waterproof backing like the other incontinence pads. They can be relied on for the high degree of leak protection.

Mattress Covers: In spite of using incontinence pads and briefs, bed wetting becomes unavoidable in few circumstances. To prevent this incidence, using mattress covers would be wise. This is a one-time investment as well. They generally are waterproof, and most of them are machine washable.

Disposable Wet Wipes: Incontinence may lead to infections and skin irritations. Wet wipe is the best way to keep you skin clean, fresh, and free of infections. At the time of changing briefs or pads, these wipes can be used to remove any urine from the skin. Some wipes contain Aloe Vera, which not just prevent but also aid in healing the infected skin.

Though there is a multitude of women incontinence supplies available in medical supply stores, you have to be cautious while choosing incontinence aids. Comfort is the major factor to be considered, be it the material, size, or shape. Next comes the absorbency level, your incontinence supplies should be good enough to handle any volume of leakage. Finally, the style of incontinence aids should suit your lifestyle.

This article would have provided you an insight of the various incontinence supplies for women and how to choose the right one. Henceforth, you would never feel depressed due to incontinence, be it at office, parties, outdoor events, or sports activities.

'He'll Be There For Her'- A Jemi Oneshot

Another oneshot from my old channel ! And it's a little Jemi baby one :] Hope you like it ! -Kindergarden- "A new student is joining our class today! Make sure you are nice to Demi, alright?" Mrs. Bachman shared with her kindergarden class as she held onto the shy little girls hand. The class all waved their hands at Demi, making her hide behind Mrs. Bachmans leg. "You can all have playtime now class!" she announced to the small group of kids, who soon dispersed out the door into the sunny playground. "Oh, Joseph honey?" Mrs. Bachman called after a small dark brown haired boy who was just about to walk out the door with a few other boys. He stopped and skipped over to his teacher and the new little girl with big, brown sad eyes. "Hi!" the little boy chirped, smiling and waving at the new girl and his teacher. "Joseph, this is Demi, will you look after her for me today? She needs a good friend, and I know you are a very nice big boy, aren't you?" the teacher smiled. Joe smiled widely and nodded his head frantically, before sticking his hand out to Demi. The scared girl clutched onto her teachers leg tighter, and hid her face from Joe who was standing in front of her. "It's okay Demi, Joe is a very nice boy, he will look out for you honey," her teacher assured until her grip loosened and she reached her hand out to Joe's, who lead her slowly out the door and into the warm sunshine. Mrs. Bachman smiled at the two children hand in hand. "I like your dress Demi!" Joe squeaked ...

"I GOT IT!!" - World Wide Potty Training Movement - (DAY 1)

As children approach 2 years of age, parents frequently start thinking about toilet training. When will they "GET" this? Depending on whom you ask, the "right" age may range from as young as 6 months to 3 years. While age can be used as a determining factor, there are several others to address. The most important factors are not necessarily age, but rather physiologic, physical and psychological readiness. Before a child can be "toilet trained", she or he must have attained a certain amount of physiologically readiness, namely "bladder readiness". In infancy, babies frequently are unable to hold large amounts of urine in their bladder and void small amounts. As a child grows older, her bladder becomes more mature, and is able over time to hold larger amounts of urine between voids. This comes hand in hand then with the additional ability to be able to increase the interval between voids. When you notice that your child is dry at longer intervals (ie dry after a nap or for at least 2 hours) and is voiding large amounts at a time, then that is a sign that your child may be physiologically ready for toilet training. Another component, which overlaps with psychological readiness, is the ability of your child to recognize that she is voiding (ie if your child does not recognize when she is voiding, toilet training is virtually impossible). Some children start showing some signs of "bladder readiness" around 2 years of age. Most will attain it by three years of age. Another ...

Baby Health - 4 Useful Tips to Have a Healthy Baby

The health of your baby is really important. Here are 4 useful tips to have a healthy baby:

1. diaper rash may be avoided if you keep your baby clean and dry. When having antibiotics or diarrhea however, your baby is more prone to it. To prevent it from happening, you may use A & D ointment, zinc oxide, Desitin or petroleum jelly on the area of the skin concerned. They are also used to treat the diaper rash.

2. If what you are using are cloth diapers, remove his plastic pants as long as possible during the day. If you can smell ammonia on the diapers, be sure to treat it with bleach when washing the diapers and rinse them well so as not to irritate your baby's skin.

3. If you are using disposable diapers and rashes keeps on occurring, you may need to switch to another brand of diapers. The one you are using may have chemicals or materials in it that do not go well with the sensitive skin of your baby. It would be better to put something on the rashes first before you put on a new diaper.

4. Formula milk can cause constipation at times. This is manifested by a hard stool or may look pellet like. You may need to see a doctor to treat this. If on the other hand it is diarrhea that is troubling your baby, immediate consultation with a doctor is required as dehydration can be very bad for your baby.

How to Throw a Frugal and Fun Baby Shower

I work with predominantly males, and one of my male coworkers was going to have his second child soon. My boss realizes that I love throwing fun creative parties for a frugal price (I had a baby shower for him too), so he asked me to throw my coworker and his wife a baby shower party. The couple knew they were having a girl, and with a household of all boys, I jumped at the chance! What fun buying little pink girlie things!

We all pitched in with what we could afford but we're a small group. With about $50 that I collected, I had to buy plates, napkins, a card, ribbon, gift bag, food, and a respectable gift. I want to share how you can throw a frugal, thrifty, and fun baby shower.

The couple already has a 2-year-old son, so luckily they had a lot of the big items. I began with a pretty basket that was donated to me by a Longaberger basket consultant who worked in my group; that was a great addition to the overall gift since the couple can use the basket long after the child grows up. You can also use any large pretty basket.

We have a new large dollar store, the Dollar Tree, near our house. I knew I could find some great items to add to the basket. After lining the basket with pale green tissue paper, I arranged all the items in the basket, placed it down into the cellophane bag, made the bow, and tied it all up. I tied the rattle to the bow, and tucked the rose into the middle of the bow. I actually forgot to include the mesh bags, but it turned out for the better. I placed the extra diapers that I couldn't fit into the basket into one of the mesh bags, and tying the balloons to it, used it as my balloon anchor. The mesh bags are wonderful to hang wet tub toys, or to use for a number of handy uses.

It turned out so cute! The plates, ribbon, picture frame, and rattle all had the same pink and lime green color. Even the mesh bags were lime green! I was really proud how everything color coordinated. The Longaberger consultant loved the way I had decorated her donated basket and took lots of pictures of it to show at her parties.

Here's what I found at the Dollar Tree to put in the basket, plus some other frugal finds from other sources:

1. Square Paper Plates with Pink and Lime Green Flowers: $1


2. Large Square White Napkins: $1


3. Wired Ribbon with Pink and Lime Green Butterflies: $1


4. Breck Lavender Baby Wash: $1


5. Breck Lavender Baby Lotion: $1


6. Breck Flushable Baby Wipes; $1


7. Fisher-Price Newborn Socks with yellow trim - 3 Pack: $1


8. Baby Spoons with Soft Pink Handles - 2 Pack: $1


9. Bottle Brush with Pink Handle: $1


10. Pink Snack Holders - 3 Pack: $1


11. Lime Green Mesh Bags with Drawstring - 4 Pack: $1


12. Small picture frame with Pink Flower: $1


13. Greeting Card: $0.50 (cards are 2/$1 at Dollar Tree)


14. 2 Mylar Helium Balloons; 1 Pink Heart, 1 Welcome Baby: $2 ($1 each)


15. Clear Cellophane gift bag - 2 Pack: $1


16. Pampers Newborn diapers: $9.72/pack from WalMart


17. Store Brand Desitin: $1.76 from WalMart


18. Grandma's Photo Album (Wrapped & New): $0.75 from garage sale


19. Rubber Duckies; Mommy and Baby - New: Donated by Geri


20. Rattle with Pink and Lime Green Rings: $2 from WalMart


21. Artificial pink rose: FREE from around my house

Dollar Tree Total: $15.50 WalMart Total: $14.62 Misc. Total: $0.75 Gift TOTAL: $30.87 (excludes tax)

With the money left over, I bought the following food. Look for specials on in-season fruit and use your coupons if possible! I've always wanted to make one of those cute baby carriages carved out of a watermelon. It was relatively easy, and this was a big hit with both the women and men attending the shower.

1. Whole watermelon


2. Pineapple


3. Strawberries


4. Blueberries


5. one Orange


6. 4 grapes


7. Individual sponge cakes: 2 packs of 6 each


8. Cheese tray with 4 different varieties


9. Whipped cream: FREE from my house

TOTAL: almost $20

Watermelon Baby Carriage

If your melon is wobbly, cut a small piece off the bottom to flatten the underside. Carve out the watermelon, and chop the reserved melon into chunks for the fruit salad. (You'll have more than you need!) You can add a decorative edge to the top if you like. Save the extra rind for the carriage handle. Cut the rest of the fruit into bite-sized pieces. Mix with the watermelon chunks. Fashion a stroller handle out of the leftover rind using my picture as a guide. Attach the handle to the body with toothpicks. Slice the orange into 4 pieces, and using the grapes too, attach with large toothpicks to the melon for the carriage wheels.

I brought the carved melon unassembled to work in a large white plastic trash bag, and the fruit salad separately in a large covered bowl that I kept refrigerated. Right before serving, place the carriage on a platter, assemble the handle and wheels, and spoon the salad into the melon. Serve the fruit salad with the sponge cakes, whipped cream and cheese tray.

This simple yet elegant party served about 18 guests, and everyone had a wonderful time. The gift basket and food were a big hit, and the 2-year-old loved playing with the balloons.

I Cry For You, Please Cry For Me - Part Two - Healthy Adults In Diapers

This next part of the series of articles is about questions. These are the questions that I need answered. And as I sit here, I wonder if anyone out there has the answers to these questions. Please contribute and please participate in this series of articles that was written with the intent to bring things out to the public, written with the intent to connect with readers, residents, patients and family members. It is written with the intent to break down the barriers of isolation that the system seemingly sets up to break down the connections that people have. The bottom line is that the first thing that happens inside of horrible nursing homes is that they isolate, medicate and then continue to take all of a person's freedom, assets, liberties. They begin by first putting the resident in diapers against their will. They convince the residents to wear diapers insinuating that if they do not wear diapers the resident will be made to sit in wet clothing for hours and hours. Most residents give up, give up their will to fight, to live and to have their dignity and most of them agree --against their will, to wear diapers even when the diapers are not medically necessary for the resident. I am not speaking about those residents who actually need diapers. I am speaking about those residents who do not medically need diapers but who are made to wear diapers just for the convenience of the staff and workers.

Help!

Thank you. I am trying to get your attention here and I hope that I got someone's attention. If you are sitting there wanting to go to another website now and not wanting to read any further, I beg you; I implore you to bear with me a little and please participate in this communication. Here are my questions:

• What would you do if a nurse insisted that you wear diapers but you know that you are not incontinent? How would you answer the nurse?
  


• Would you have any fear in saying --no, I do not need diapers?
  


• Have you been in that position in a nursing home or in a rehabilitation center?
  


• What would you do if you sat for hours pleading for help and yet no one helped you inside of that nursing home?
  


• What would you do if they insinuated that they would leave you for hours in wet and pooped clothing inside a nursing home if you did not agree to wear diapers?
  


• If they ask you to wear diapers, just in case you have an accident, and they keep repeating that to you even though you told them that you are not wearing diapers, isn't that some kind of problem for you? If you told them no once, shouldn't that one no be enough for them to understand that you are not incontinent?

These are some questions that some nursing home residents are asking us and they are needing our help to get answers for them. They need your help in seeing that they are not alone and in seeing that people are beginning to know what is happening inside those camps. I mean, inside those nursing homes and inside those rehabilitation and care centers.

Please read part three when it is published.

Wet Wipes - One Wipe, Many Uses

Most people think of wet wipes in terms of cleaning a baby's bottom or as a general hand cleaner. Grandparents often look on in awe, and wish that someone had come up with these when they were raising young ones. Definitely they are a godsend to parents of babies, as well as someone who is trying to keep their hands clean, but there are also many other great using for this now indispensable wipe.

For a quick fix for household chores, wipes are invaluable. If you or the children make a sticky mess on the floor, these are excellent for a fast cleanup of one spot. If company suddenly knocks on the door, these are fast cleanup tools, in the bathtub, sink and toilet area. They are also really good for cleaning soap scum off your shower doors. If the kids have scuffed up the floor with their shoes, these wipes are a great way to remove them quickly. If food or drinks get spilled on furniture or carpeting, then you can use wet wipes to blot up the spill and then wipe away the stain. If you have a budding artist in the house, that uses the walls as a canvas, you can easily remove the crayon marks with a wipe.

If you need to quickly remove those white stains that are left by deodorants, baby wipes work amazingly well. You'll be out the door in no time if you keep a box of these in your closet. Leather shoes will sparkle if you use wipes on them. They're also good for patent leather shoes that little girls wear, that always seem to be dirty. If you've managed to get lipstick marks on your clothing these work well as a stain remover. The same also holds true for makeup on clothes, or if you need to remove your face makeup at the end of the day, these are a soothing and refreshing way to do it. You can even heat them in the microwave for extra comfort. They are also a good stain remover at work. If you happen to get felt tip pen market on your clothing, take your wipes out of your drawer as quickly as possible and you can remove it before the stain becomes permanent.

Wet wipes are invaluable around the house and in the car. Who doesn't take the kids out in the car for takeout, and invariably something gets spilled. Small packets in the glove compartment will definitely save the day. They're also great for cleaning dust off the dashboard. In the house you can easily remove dust from computer and television screens. When your pets come in from outside they're handy to have by the door to clean off their dirty feet, and they are efficient at removing loose hair from dogs, so that it doesn't get on the rugs and furniture. Use daily and you'll be amazed at the difference.

Of course they will always be indispensable when it comes to cleaning up a baby after a diaper change. Besides regular wet wipes, you can get ones that have aloe vera and Vitamin E in them, to help prevent diaper rash from forming as well as protecting the baby's skin if they already have a diaper rash. They're also great for babies who make a mess when they eat. A few quick wipes and their face and hands are clean again.

Women love to use them to help keep themselves fresh all day, as well as cleaning off the grime and dirt buildup throughout the workday. One of the most convenient uses is when you're in a public restroom and there is no toilet paper. The handy purse size wet wipes are a great alternative to toilet paper. The list of uses has made this one of the most popular clean up tools available today.

Morning Sickness - 14 Ways Ways to Deal With the Queasies

Many women suffer from morning sickness during the first three months of pregnancy - known as the first trimester. How bad the symptoms are varies from mother to mother and even from pregnancy to pregnancy. In a twin pregnancy, you can expect double the hormones to cause double the morning sickness. Usually this is an indicator that there may be two babies in there!

Some women have morning sickness only in the morning. Others have it all day long and wonder why they call it 'morning sickness' when it's more like 'all day sickness'.

What causes morning sickness ? The culprit seems to be the pregnancy hormone - human chorionic gonadotropin or HCG. It's the hormone that we test for in pregnancy tests and it is highest during the first few months of pregnancy. Progesterone, another hormone results in the slowing of the digestive process and may also be a factor. There's a lot of changes going on in a pregnant woman's body ,such as increases in kidney function and blood volume .

If you are suffering from morning sickness you probably don't care about WHY - you just want to get relief while you're marking off the days on the calendar, waiting for your 2nd trimester. Here are some things to try to give yourself some relief.

1) Keep crackers by the bed and try to eat some before you even make an attempt to get up out of bed. Having a totally empty stomach can give you queasies right off the bat.

2) Don't eat till you are stuffed. Eating small meals, often throughout the day will keep your stomach acid down and your blood sugar levels stable.

3) Try not to eat and drink at the same time - again - this prevents your stomach from being overly full so eat and drink separately.

4) Make sure you are not dehydrated especially in the summer months - sipping on cold water, fruit juices milk will keep you hydrated.

5) Stick to plain, boring, bland foods. If you are suffering with morning sickness it is not the time to check out new Thai or Indian spicy food - stick to bland until your stomach settles. Sometimes the smell of certain spices in cooking will set you off too - if something makes your stomach turn - avoid it.

6) Eat complex carbohydrates such as pasta, toast, and potatoes - again - bland and starchy and less likely to set off your tummy.

6) Stay away from greasy and fatty foods - things like pizza and greasy cheeseburgers probably won't sit very well , and they don't have a lot of nutritional value anyway.

7) If your sense of smell has gone crazy - you may need to ask hubby to do the cooking - or avoid cooking anything with strong odors - it's OK to just have soup or pancakes !

8) Talk to your doctor about vitamin B6 - it has been shown to help reduce nausea in low doses. You may also want to consider switching prenatal vitamins as some are harder to digest than others.

9) Ginger ! In tea form, in gingerale, in candy form - it can help with morning sickness.

10) Get some fresh air - taking a walk in the fresh air can help you feel better while you wait it out.

11) Sour things can help - not sure why but lemon candy, lemonade, lemon popsicles , fresh lemon in water - all seemed to help me get past morning sickness.

12) Brush your teeth often and use mouthwash - the extra saliva in your mouth will make you feel sick so get rid of it as often as you can. If your toothpaste is suddenly turning your stomach - switch brands or flavors. And if you are vomiting - this will help protect your teeth from your stomach acids.

13) Keep your toilet bowl clean - just trust me on this one - if your face is in it - you'll want it to be clean!

14) Do what works for you. Eat what appeals to you - even if it's unusual or not nutritionally perfect. Avoid triggers as much as possible and get help with things that turn your stomach if you can.

Morning sickness is one of those things that you may suffer with - but know that it is temporary and that your body is just adjusting to all the changes taking place. While that may be hard to do while your head is in the toilet bowl again - try to keep your sense of humor and focus on building a healthy baby! Every one is different - I couldn't look at raw meat or even at pictures of raw meat in the grocery store flyers, couldn't smell parmesean cheese, and the smell of a dirty or wet diaper sent me running. But it passed!

Now - if your morning sickness is extreme, or going beyond the first 3 months, or you're losing too much weight and feeling dizzy - make sure you let your doctor know immediately. He may prescribe medication to help with the nausea, and a small percentage of women do require hospitalization due to Hyperemesis Gravidarum- severe morning sickness.

For most women - it passes by the second trimester - and just becomes a rather unpleasant memory so hang in there ! I feel for you!

Creative Potty Training

When I was potty training my two young boys, I
discovered this method of potty training that made it
an enjoyable, yet very effective way to potty train
toddlers.

First, make sure your child is ready for potty
training, shows interest, wants "big kids pants" etc.
If they show no signs of readiness, it may be best to
let them mature a bit more.

Make this a game, make it fun and you will not run into
stubborn opposition (after all it is the child's body).
Go out and buy or find around the house items you don't
normally let your child play with. Some examples might
be toys that can be used in water (3 or 4 things), like
little plastic pitchers, balls, tiny cups, whatever,
but make them SPECIAL. The only real rule to this game
is these special "potty" toys can only be played with
while the child is sitting on the potty! This is very
important; no breaking this one rule, or it won't work.

Once the child is sitting on the potty fill a large
bowl or small bucket with lukewarm or tepid water,
place the new "potty" toys in the bowl and set the bowl
of water in front of the child. On the floor if the
potty seat is low, or if it's a potty seat that sits on
top of the regular toilet, set the bowl of water on a
TV tray or something that provides a step, in front of
the child. When the child places his/her hands in the
lukewarm water to play with the toys, if the child
needs to physically go, they nearly instantly go potty
(it's almost an instinctive type of physical reaction),
then cheer, cheer, cheer! Give lots of praise, and if
you wish to give some type of a treat, go ahead.

Let them play as long as they want, as long as they sit
on the potty. When they are done playing, put the toys
away for next time. This is really great because it
makes it fun for them so they cooperate, it totally
ends all power struggles, and also no more waiting and
waiting for them to go only to have them go potty as
soon as the diaper goes back on. They also feel good
because they have immediate success. Potty training
no. 2 was more difficult I found, that just came with
some time and patience and them learning in their own
space and way, relax, it will happen.

Do you want to know how I get this idea? It's kind of a
funny thing, my husband used to be in the military and
when he was young in boot camp they used to always play
jokes on each other in the night by dipping the hand of
someone who was sleeping, into a pan of lukewarm water,
thus making the person wet the bed. It just seemed like
a natural progression to use this trick for good use in
the potty training area and it worked great!

Furthermore, you also must give your baby a bath. In giving a bath to your baby, you have to make sure that the water is not too cold or too hot. Besides, prepare all the supplies near the place you give a bath to your baby so that you will be easier to handle it and do not have to leave your baby alone in the water.

Moreover, after several days of your newborn baby, you can get your baby to take a walk in the morning to enjoy the sunlight by using a baby stroller. The sunlight is good for your baby since it gives vitamin D that has great function for the bone development.
