Summer is now here, but are you and your baby prepared for the glorious hot weather?
If this is baby’s first summer, you may understandably be pretty concerned about keeping them safe and comfortable. There’s a lot of issues the hot summer sun can cause from heat rash to sunburn and even a potential increased risk of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). So, how can you ensure your little one is happy and healthy this summer? Below, you’ll discover some of the best tips and advice you can follow.
When you give birth, it’s natural to feel scared and overwhelmed. No matter how much research you’ve done while you were pregnant, nothing can truly prepare for what will happen once baby arrives. It’s a learning process which all parents go through, but you don’t have to go it alone.
There’s a lot of things you need to prepare for before baby arrives. Where will they sleep? Have you got all of the equipment you’ll need? How will you cope with sleep deprivation? These are just some of the things you’ll no doubt be thinking about. However, one thing that’s easy to ignore is the financial changes a new baby will bring.
Dining out with a baby can be a pretty stressful event! There’s a lot of extra things you need to pack, as well as the worry they will go into a full-blown meltdown in the restaurant, forcing you to leave. It can be daunting and stressful. However, the good news is, there are ways to ensure you have a calm and enjoyable time.
It’s been a topic of debate for decades – can babies smile from birth? According to some experts, what looks like a smile during the first few weeks is actually just a reflex. However, others claim babies learn to smile while they’re still in the womb. So, what’s actually true? Could your little one really be smiling at you, or is it really just a case of gas reflex?
When you were pregnant, you may have assumed you’d end up breastfeeding your baby once they arrived. However, as many new moms discover, breastfeeding isn’t always achievable. Or, it could be you just prefer to bottle feed your baby for your own personal reasons. Whatever the reason is, bottle feeding can still be a daunting process.
If your little one has been diagnosed with acid reflux, or you’re concerned they may have the condition, it can be pretty worrying. Obviously, as a parent, all you want is for your child to be happy and healthy. So, when something’s wrong, you instantly want to fix it.
Having a baby is a wonderful, miraculous thing, but after a while, it can start to get quite lonely. Sleep deprivation, combined with the demanding needs of baby, can prevent you from having much in the way of a social life.
