How to cut baby nails

2012-04-13T19:57:00.002-07:00

You should always try to communicate to your baby what you are going to do before you do it. If you’re baby is old enough, you can give her a warning such as “In 5 minutes we are going to cut your nails.” Or “After this game, it is time to cut your nails.” For younger children try using key words like “Nails”. Or “Fingers and toes”. Step by step guide to cutting your baby's finger nails • Place the emery board or baby nail clippers/scissors next to you (out of baby’s reach) and put your baby on your lap so that her head is against her chest. • Lean back if you need to so that your baby doesn’t fall or tilt forwards. • To trim or smooth your baby’s left hand finger nails, hold your baby’s left hand steady with your left hand, with the emery board or nail clippers/scissors in your right hand, Reach across your baby, keep her in place with your right arm (do not rest the weight of your arm on your baby as this will be too heavy and will cause her discomfort). • Hold your babies arm steady and gently file or trim the very tops of her nails. • Hold the scissors/clippers/emery board at an angle that faces away from the tips of your baby’s fingers tips. This should help top avoid cutting or nipping your child’s skin or trimming your baby’s nails too short. • If this doesn’t work for you, you may want to try different positions such as with your baby lying down on the floor or with your baby in a bouncer. Whilst our step by step guide has taken official medical advice into consideration, it has been written by our team of parents who use their experiences and offer these step by step guides as a way of friendly advice. These are guidelines only. You should do what works for you and speak to your health visitor if you need any further advice or are unsure about anything.

4 Benefits of Baby Carriers

2011-04-06T19:08:00.000-07:00

You’ve probably seen them around: baby carriers — those swaths of fabric that wrap up baby and carry her, close and snug, right next to mom. It seems like every parent you pass on the street is wearing one! They’re recommended by experts for some very good reasons.

1. Baby carriers allow mom (or dad) and baby to bond. Who doesn’t love having baby so close?

2. Carriers are comfy — for both parties. Doctors agree that "wearing" a baby in a baby carrier helps prevent back strain for mom and is safe, healthy, and natural for baby.

3. When baby is in a fabric carrier, mom can get things done. Like housework or getting in a walking workout.

4. Babies held in fabric carriers cry less often. When baby is well supported and close to mom or dad, she cries less. And that makes everyone happy.

Petua Hentikan Anak Hisap Puting

2011-03-17T00:05:00.000-07:00

1. Biarkan anak berhenti menghisap puting sendiri.

2. Berikan contoh adik beradik yang lebih tua yang tidak menghisap puting. Atau sekiranya anak dijaga oleh pengasuh, tunjukkan padanya kanak-kanak lain yang tidak lagi menggunakan puting.

3. Berikan dia banyak aktiviti lain supaya dia tidak lagi memikirkan tentang puting. Contohnya, berikan dia banyak barang permainan baru.

4. Berikan peraturan kepada anak, dengan menetapkan puting cuma boleh digunakan ketika hendak tidur sahaja.

5. Berikan ganjaran sekiranya anak berjaya berhenti menghisap putting.

20 week pregnant

2011-02-25T20:00:00.000-08:00

At 20 weeks pregnant, I may find I are walking a little differently to accommodate that extra lump in my belly. This is because my centre of gravity is changing. Watch my posture and remember what my mum used to say “Don’t slouch and put your shoulders back”. It’s amazing how much more room this makes in a crowded tummy.

•By 20 weeks your baby’s external ears are perfectly formed. They are designed to channel sound waves towards the inner ear where noise can already be heard as it filters through your abdominal wall. This is why it is important to talk to your baby every day, so it can learn to recognise your voice as being familiar when it is born.

•This week your baby is around 16.5 centimetres long from its crown to rump (bottom). Its skin is still coated in vernix caseosa, the white greasy coating which protects your baby’s tender skin from drying out.

•Your baby is surrounded by around 320ml of amniotic fluid this week. The temperature of the fluid is maintained at a slightly higher degree that your own core temperature. This helps the baby to stay warm.

•Lots of baby movements this week and you are becoming increasingly aware of them. They aren’t strong enough to cause you any discomfort and are a lovely way of reassuring you that the baby is going well.
