Understanding The Vital First Moments Of Your Newborn Baby

When we ask people who have had children about the most memorable day of their life, they pretty much all say, “The day my child was born.”

When your baby is born, it tends to create an exciting and fascinating immediate bond between you and the baby. And fortunately for us today, we are fully aware of the importance of the first moments between a baby and its parents.

But don’t take it for granted. In a still recent past, people didn’t realize as much as we do today how important the first few hours and days of baby-parent contact are for the baby, as well as for the parents.

Giving birth to a baby today is very different than what it used to be 40 years ago. Not only do medical staff better understand what’s going on in the tiny body of the baby now, but they understand that the immediate bond happens right after birth.

We should also be thankful to the human side of the medical staff that delivers babies today, which has developed alongside with medical advancement. Only 30 years ago, doctors believed that babies couldn’t feel any pain and would operate on them without real anesthesia. Today, not only do they understand that a newborn does feel physical pain as a full small human being that they are, but can also greatly benefit from contact with their parents.

In this article, we are going to discuss those little extra important contacts that will make your baby healthier and happier from the minute he or she is born until the first few months, which will carry on into the rest of his/her life. [Read more…]

The Importance of Language In Your Baby’s Development

You can improve your child’s development and learning abilities with words.

You may not be aware of it, but the more words your baby hears from the time they’re born until age 3, the better chances your child will have to graduate from high school and college.

Like food is nutrient to the body, words are nutrients to the brain well before the baby can pronounce any of them.

In fact, language is so hard wired in a new born baby that he can already recognize his mother’s voice from hearing it while in the womb. Babies are used to recognizing speech from before they were even born. [Read more…]

10 Unfailing Ways To Bring Up A Well-Balanced Child

Raising a well-adjusted and balanced child starts much earlier than parents tend to think.

As a matter of fact, it’s starts from the womb.

Yes, that’s right – from the womb!

For example, an anxious mother can pass that anxiety onto her fetus.

But the real game starts when the baby is born, however.

While a baby doesn’t understand consciously yet, its subconscious mind is already being programmed. A child between 0 and 7 years old learns relatively less consciously but learns a whole lot more subconsciously.

This is why it’s so important that you pay very close attention to how and what you teach your child from infancy.

To help you do that, here are 10 specific tips that are crucial to the healthy development of your child. [Read more…]

Welcome To Starlight Baby!

Starlightbabyfinal1204.fw

Note: While our brand name has now been changed to ‘Kinacle’, we are keeping this post as-is 🙂

One of the most interesting times of any business is when it first launches.

You’re a little fish in a big pond. Nobody knows you. You have a strong voice and a lot to say, but there aren’t too many people around to hear it.

Someway or another, you’ve managed to stumble upon the very first blog post ever published on this site.

Hopefully, one of many. Hundreds, or even thousands.

I believe it will happen.

But you see, when we reach that point, things change a little bit. It’s not the same. People already know you. They have some preconceived opinion of what you represent, that may or may not be accurate.

We’re at a special time right now, because I get to be upfront with you, and tell you what this brand actually represents.

As a new company, I know that we’re probably not all that special to you, and I understand. However, I’m hoping some day that will change. And because of that, I want to share with you a little bit about what’s in store for Starlight Baby. [Read more…]
