Spice it up your baby's food

noreply@blogger.com (iBAMBINO) — Tue, 22 May 2012 15:16:00 +1000

My nieces always get bored with everyday baby's food. No taste or always in a same taste?
So I was thinking maybe I should mix it up with some herbs like my food too. Herbs such as coriander, basil, chives, rosemary and parsley are easy to use while you cooking fish, chicken or vegetables. Herbs not only add more flavor but also gives the baby more nutrition and can give your little one the ability to adapt to a greater variety of flavors, like my nieces now, they are so happy to eat anything like their mum's eat. You also can give it try too =)

Good News for Mums to be.

noreply@blogger.com (iBAMBINO) — Thu, 9 Jun 2011 20:42:00 +1000

Guess what!
Eat red meat when you are pregnant because it can prevent your baby crying later! WOW!
A study was published in Early Human Development.
Mums to be who increased their daily intake of vit B12 (can be found in red meat) during the first 3 months of pregnancy are up to 8 times more likely to have a baby that cries less.

The power of Nap time.

noreply@blogger.com (iBAMBINO) — Wed, 8 Jun 2011 18:49:00 +1000

According to new research from Allegheny College, US. Snoozing for about 45 minutes can lower blood pressure after a stressful day.
How good is that?
So if you don't nap, maybe it's time to start now (if possible).
Even if it is only just 6 - 20 mins, it is still worth it.

Why do I weigh less in the morning?

noreply@blogger.com (iBAMBINO) — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 16:02:00 +1000

At night while we sleep, our bodies have a chance to get back into balance. Excess fluid that has accumulated during the day moves from the body's cells into the bloodstream, where it makes its way to the kidneys. In the morning, when we get up, we get rid of this extra fluid by peeing. That's why, when people weigh themselves after using the bathroom in the morning, they're generally at their lowest weight of the day. How interesting is that?

Tim Ferriss - How to Peel Hard-boiled Eggs without Peeling

Calcium in water?

noreply@blogger.com (iBAMBINO) — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 21:04:00 +1000

Hi, I found a good health source that I want to share.

Good for my bones.

It’s really amazing that we can find calcium in water, even tap water. Calcium is very important to help protect against osteoporosis. Dairy products aren’t the only solution now, seaweeds and the nori sheets in sushi are another alternative, especially people who don’t like milk, they also can take them as they contain 6 times as much calcium.

Good for my muscles

Of course we must have protein at each meal. If muscle mass isn’t maintained, then your body doesn’t burn as many calories. To keep your metabolism up, your muscle mass will burn your energy, even when you aren’t not exercising.

Amazing hey!

Your baby and sun

noreply@blogger.com (iBAMBINO) — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 20:52:00 +1000

Some parents are afraid to expose their babies to the sun, but guess what?

Actually sun is very good for babies, so they can get enough vitamin D for bones and immunity. Just get the babies out in the sunshine for a few minutes each day, let's say about 5 mins or so each day. All of my family do this until the baby is about 1 year old.

Especially for dark skin babies, they may require a little more vitamin D, because their darker skin makes it harder to absorb the sun's rays.

Your baby & bathing

noreply@blogger.com (iBAMBINO) — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 11:00:00 +1000

Is it true that your baby does not have to bathe everyday?

Yup!

In fact, it's recommended only 2 or 3 times a week to help reduce the eczema risk. Simply you can use a big plastic baby bath, the bathroom basin or kitchen sink. But baby baths becomes so heavy when filled with even the small amount of water. So decide where you're going to bath your baby with eye to filling and emptying the tub. Try to minimize bending.

If you want to get the baby get to used to being in the full sized bath, it's an idea to put the baby in the bath in it for a while you make the transition. This makes the inevitable splashing easier to cope with, too.
