    If youre new mother, you already know that breastfeeding is best for your baby. But not everyone can successfully breastfeed. Whats important is that your baby gets the nourishment he needs to develop and thrive. If your baby isnt thriving on breast milk, then you need to switch to formula. There are many different options to choose from.
    The brand you choose isnt important. All formulas are prepared according to FDA regulations which specify minimum and, in some cases, maximum nutrient level requirements for infant formulas, based on recommendations by the American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Nutrition. These regulations and the Infant Formula Act help to make sure that all infant formulas are nutritionally complete and safe for your baby.
    The American Academy of Pediatrics does not endorse or recommend that your infant drink any specific brand of formula if you choose not to breastfeed, except they do say that low iron formula should not be used.
    Baby formulas mostly differ in the type of sugar and protein that they have. Regular iron fortified infant formulas, such as Similac Advance, Enfamil Lipil, and Nestle Good Start Supreme are made with lactose and cow’s milk based proteins. Most infants who are not breastfeeding exclusively should be given a cow’s milk based iron fortified formula.
    Soy formulas are made with soy protein and are lactose free. They are good for children who don’t tolerate lactose or milk proteins.
    Elemental formulas are also lactose free and are made with hydrolysate proteins, which are easy to digest for infants with protein allergies. If you have a family history of food allergies or formula intolerances, you might choose to start your baby off with a soy or elemental formula if you do not want to breastfeed.

  • 37 Baby Massage and its Connection to Sleeping and Thinking

    37 – Baby Massage and its Connection to Sleeping and Thinking
    The task of developing a regular and restful sleep pattern for a new baby is often an exercise in frustration and confusion for many parents. Research has shown that hospitalized infants grow more rapidly when correctly massaged. This is due in large part to the fact that massaged babies actually spent more time being quiet and calm, yet alert, and that when they did sleep, it was deep and very restful. This resulted in a more structured sleep pattern, as well as longer sleeping periods at night.
    Doing a massage right after getting home from work will help a parent reconnect with baby after a hard day, and will help both baby and parent relax and unwind. Once you and the baby have developed a routine you will have a skill that will calm and quiet your upset child. There will be times when this is just what is needed; not food, not a fresh diaper, but soothing, relaxing touch that a parent can give their little one. Even when circumstances cause a change in their routine or environment, a daily massage can be the hub of your baby’s nighttime routine and the element that helps them prepare to fall into a deep, restful, restorative sleep. In addition, learning to relax in our busy world is a skill parents need to nurture for themselves as well as for their children. Studies indicate that the positive effects of practicing infant massage are just as profound on the parent’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being as they are for baby.
    Infant massage has also been shown to positively benefit those infants with eating, gastrointestinal, bonding, attachment, weight gain, overall development challenges, which can also affect a baby’s overall sleeping patterns. Massage also helps infants learn about their body and stimulates brain function, and the interaction between parent and child during the massage can stimulate the child’s mental faculties as well, resulting in increased mental capacity.

    ( K0 0  <++k+++++N N [+++ ++++d 40 Smoking Significantly Increases Babys SIDS Risk and Makes for a Restless Night Experts found babies whose mothers smoked during pregnancy were born with smaller airways - making them more vulnerable to breathing problems after birth. These breathing problems can put your baby at increased risk for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Smoking has been linked to various health problems in babies, including prematurity and low birth weight. Mothers who smoke are at increased risk of having a stillbirth, miscarriage or premature infant. Smoking while pregnant will lower the amount of oxygen available to you and your growing baby and increase your baby's heart rate. These health factors also contribute to raising the SIDS risk for your infant, and in your childs decreased ability to breathe correctly or take in enough oxygen for a restful, restorative sleep at night. Babies born to mothers who smoke are significantly lighter and shorter than those born to non smokers. Children who are exposed to tobacco smoke before birth or in the home are far more likely to suffer from respiratory illnesses and infections, which can also contribute to a decrease in quality of nighttime sleep for your baby. The more cigarettes you or your babys caregiver smoke per day, the greater your baby's chances of developing these and other health problems. Studies show that a baby's risk of SIDS rises with each additional smoker in the household, with the number of cigarettes smoked a day, and with the length of exposure to cigarette smoke. So give your baby and yourself the best chance at a restful nights sleep and keep your home and your babys sleeping environment smoke-free. Your baby will thank you and youll sleep better knowing your babys risk for SIDS is greatly diminished and that your baby is breathing clean air with each breath he takes at night.

As hes learning to walk, talk, and climb, hes pushing himself to the limits of his physical strength and mental learning. He's also falling down, bumping, surprising, and hurting himself over and over again each day. And since your toddler doesn't yet know how to roll with the punches or ease up on himself, he's constantly frustrated and angered by failure. All this activity is bound to make for an exhausted toddler. If you find his favorite activities or routine tasks are frustrating him, hes most likely overtired and in need of restorative and restful sleep. Physical exhaustion, excitement, and tension build up until he no longer knows he's tired. Then it is up to you as a parent to help him figure out how to stop and rest. You can help make the transition from busy, active, energetic day to tranquil, quiet and peaceful night by easing him into sleep with quiet activities in the evening after dinner. Coloring a picture, sitting down and watching a favorite, but quiet, video, reading books, singing, quiet play at bath time, or singing lullabies together helps your toddler disconnect and start winding down. If this is done within the framework of a consistent bedtime routine, your toddler will come to associate these activities with bedtime and find them comforting and hell be able to easily recognize when bedtime occurs. Its also important to relax with your toddler. If he sees you busy in the kitchen cleaning, outside gardening, or doing other busy activities in the evenings, hell be likely to want to do the same, making the bedtime routine frustrating for everyone involved. 2= B   hH!hxhx6] hxhxhx12_ `    -DM gdx ,1h/ =!"#$% @@@ xNormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH DAD Default Paragraph FontRiR  Table Normal4 l4a (k(No List 12_`  00000000_`  j0h0h0     8@0(  B S  ?    +H! ~x"=H@([  0@UnknownGz Times New Roman5Symbol3& z Arial"h)3)3   r42HP)?x28Article 48  Relaxation Techniques for Toddler s Bedtime Kelly Lyons Tim ErwayOh+'0$ 8D d p |<Article 48 Relaxation Techniques for Toddlers Bedtime Kelly LyonsNormal Tim Erway3Microsoft Office Word@@vK@vK ՜.+,0  hp|     9Article 48 Relaxation Techniques for Toddlers Bedtime Title  !"#&Root Entry F`L(1Table WordDocument.SummaryInformation(DocumentSummaryInformation8CompObjq  FMicrosoft Office Word Document MSWordDocWord.Document.89q

    $ 49 Moving from the Bottle to the Sippy Cup

    Most children, by the time they are about 9 months old, have the motor skills needed to drink from a cup. If you think your babys ready to make the move from bottle to sippy cup, try filling a sippy cup with water and let your child try and drink from it. Dont expect perfection with the first tries. Hell probably drool, spit and dribble a bit, which will probably delight him! But within a few weeks and lots of practice, hell be willing to take all his drinks from the sippy cup. Hell most likely be a sippy cup pro by the time hes about 14 months old.

    If you start the transition from bottle to sippy cup early, youll save yourself frustration the longer a baby stays on the bottle, the tougher it is to get him to kick it. If the bottle is a security object for your baby, choose one with a special favorite animal or character to help increase his willingness to try and use it.

    Bottle rot is common concern for parents of children who drink from bottles. A child’s teeth are susceptible to decay if hes always drinking a sugared drink from it formula, milk, or juice. Natural bacteria in his mouth feed on these sugars and attack the teeth for 20 minutes every time he takes a drink. What that boils down to is this: if he’s taking sips from a bottle every few minutes for an hour, his teeth are exposed to the sugars for at least 80 minutes. Over time, that causes tooth decay, or bottle rot. If he falls asleep, tooth-decay causing sugars can pool in his mouth for hours. Children are less likely to nurse drinks for long periods of time if they’re offered in sippy cups. The best way to avoid bottle rot is to give your child his drink and have him finish it within about 20 minutes. Then use a toothbrush or washcloth to wipe his teeth clean. Never put a baby in his crib with a bottle or sippy cup.

    Finally, consistently emphasize what a big boy he is by drinking from the sippy cup instead of his bottle, and hell reach for his sippy cup more and more each day.

  • 39 Room Temperature and the Risk of SIDS (2)

    39 – Room Temperature Can Help Reduce the Risk of SIDS

    Parents no longer have to lose sleep over Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) thanks to the latest research findings, and they can take a proactive role in reducing both the worry and risk involved for their infant. SIDS appears to result from a combination of various factors including breathing difficulties, underdevelopment of baby’s cardio-respiratory control functions, dangerous sleeping habits, and various medical conditions. Dr. William Sears, father of eight and a practicing pediatrician for over 30 years, suggests that the following SIDS risk lowering steps can help parents can reduce the risk and create a nurturing, safe, and comfortable environment for their little one, both pre-natally and post-natally.
    The first step, according to Dr. Sears, is giving your baby a healthy womb environment. Although the SIDS risk in premature babies is higher, the good news is that over 99 percent of premature infants don’t die of SIDS and that mothers-to-be can take pre-emptive steps to lessen their baby’s risk to SIDS with smart prenatal choices. He advises getting good prenatal care, feeding yourself properly with lots of high-nutrition foods, and giving your baby a drug-free and smoke-free womb are three great ways to decrease the risk.
    He also advises keeping your baby comfortably warm, but not too warm. Over-bundling, and consequently overheating, has been shown to increase the risk of SIDS. Overheating may disrupt the normal neurological control of sleep and breathing. The respiratory control center in the brain is affected by abnormal changes in temperature, and SIDS researchers believe that overheating may cause respiratory control centers in some babies to fail.
    Make sure your baby’s head is uncovered, and put your baby to sleep on his side or back. When baby sleeps on her stomach, or prone, with her cheek and abdominal organs against the bedding, these prime areas of heat release are covered, thus conserving heat. Also, never bundle a sick baby, as babies who are sick tend to have fevers, and bundling only increases body temperature. Keep the room temperature where your baby sleeps around 68 degrees, unless you have a preterm or newborn weighing less than eight pounds; then you might want to increase the temperature by a few degrees. As a general guide, dress and cover your infant in as much, or as little, clothing and blankets as you would put on yourself. Then, let your hands be a thermostat. Babies who are overheated tend to be more restless as well.

  • 35 Attachment Parenting

    35 – Attachment Parenting Tools
    Attachment parenting (AP), a phrase coined by pediatrician William Sears, is a parenting philosophy based on the principles of the attachment theory in developmental psychology. According to attachment theory, a strong emotional bond with parents during childhood, also known as a secure attachment, is a precursor of secure, empathic relationships in adulthood.
    Attachment parenting describes a parenting approach rooted in attachment theory. Attachment theory proposes that the infant has a tendency to seek closeness to another person and feel secure when that person is present. In attachment theory, children attach to their parents because they are social beings, not just because they need other people to satisfy drives and attachment is part of normal child development.
    Dr. Sears’ attachment tools, also known as the seven B’s, is a style of caring for your infant that brings out the best in the baby and the best in the parents. The B’s include birth bonding, breastfeeding, baby-wearing, bedding close to baby, belief in the language value of your baby’s cry, beware of baby trainers and balance.
    Dr. Sears reminds the parents of his patients that AP is a starter style, and that there could be medical, environmental, or family circumstances that could prevent parents from practicing each of the seven B’s, and that they are to be a tool to get parents off on the right start. It’s not to be considered a strict set of rules, but encourages responsive parents by recognizing their baby’s cues and level of needs.
    He again emphasizes the phrase “tool” over “steps.” A tool can be individually chosen based on its usefulness, whereas a step implies that each must be used in a correct order to get the job done. He encourages parents to stick with what’s working and adjust those tools that aren’t. This process will help parents design their own parenting style unique to them that helps baby and parents plug into one another.

    $ 44 Consistent Naptimes are Key to Quality Nighttime Sleep, Too

    Research has shown that the quality and length of your babys naps affects his nighttime sleep. If he naps too late in the day, it will most certainly affect his nighttime sleeping. Its important to tune into your babys biological clock and learn when his natural naptime is so his nighttime sleeping schedule is on the right track as well. Its also imperative to get your baby down for a nap as soon as you see his sleepy signals. He will become overtired if you wait too long, and unable to go to sleep as a result.
    Consistency is the key. Know when to get him down for a nap, and then get him down for a nap each and every time you see the signals. Those signals might include quieting down, losing interest in people and toys, rubbing eyes, fussing, yawning, or decreasing activity. Waiting too long might find your baby getting his second wind and making it difficult if not impossible for him to lay down for his nap. When you respond to the signals right away, you not only eliminate the later possibility of having an increasingly crabby child later in the day or evening, but you eliminate the frustration for yourself of having to deal with such a fussy child. Once youve studied your childs biological clock and watched for the signals carefully and consistently for a week or so, it should be a breeze to develop a solid napping schedule that will be easy for you both to follow.
    Developing a consistent nap routine is equally important. Just as you have a routine prior to bedtime, you should also have one for naptime. This routine should be different from your nighttime routine though, although it can have similar elements, such as quiet music. Follow the routine faithfully every day, unless your child has been especially active such as a family outing or another activity outside the daily routine. And once your baby learns the nap routine, hell learn the cues that tell him when naptime is nearing, making naptime easier on you as well.

  • 41 How to Treat Your Baby’s Cold

    ࡱ> %’$` bjbjss .2  2qssssss$h 
    qq ?-q0  B 5< 222d$222222 41 How to Treat Your Babys Cold Your babys cold can be just as hard on you as it is on her. But you can help ease your babys discomfort and keep the infection from worsening by ensuring she gets sufficient rest and liquids, which would include breast milk or formula if shes less than four months old. Older babies can have a little water, and by six months she can begin drinking juices. To relieve congestion, try squeezing some over-the-counter saline solution drops into each nostril, then suctioning with a rubber bulb syringe after a few moments to remove the mucus and liquid. This works well about fifteen minutes prior to a feeding if its difficult for your baby to breathe nasally while nursing. A bit of petroleum jelly to the outside of your babys nostrils can help reduce irritation. Sitting with you in a steamy bathroom while the hot waters on in the shower for about 15 minutes, or using a cool-mist vaporizer or humidifier to increase the moisture in your babys room should also help provide some relief for her. A warm bath could also work, and might provide her some additional comfort. Sleeping at a slight incline may also help relieve postnasal drip. However, dont use pillows in her crib to accomplish this; the risk of suffocation is too great. Try placing a couple of rolled up towels between the crib springs and mattress, or you might also want to try allowing her to sleep in her car seat in a slightly upright position. Be sure to contact your pediatrician at the first sign of any illness in an infant less than three months old, especially in instances of a fever of 100.4 degrees or if she has a cough. Your pediatrician can give you guidelines about what constitutes a fever in older infants. If babys symptoms dont improve within five to seven days, her cough worsens, shes wheezing or gasping (possible pneumonia or respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV), or tugs at her ear (possible ear infection), your pediatrician should also be notified immediately.

    D@d@ 26 Common Misuses of Pacifiers

    Experts have voiced valid concerns regarding the use (and abuse) of pacifiers. Not only can pacifiers cause nipple confusion in an infant, it is also associated with premature weaning. A newborn infant is driven to suck on anything placed in their mouths, including a finger or artificial nipple. In an ill, small, jaundiced or easygoing baby, this drive to suck may become a substitute for feedings, since the urge to suck is being satisfied. Some babies might be satisfied with the simple act of sucking, and if a weary mom or dad decides to try the pacifier in an attempt to get baby to sleep for a longer period of time or go further between feedings, it can result in such problems as poor weight gain, and in the nursing mom, mastitis, engorgement, a decrease in milk supply, or plugged lactation ducts. Pacifiers and artificial nipples are specially designed so they automatically stimulate the spot in the back of the babys mouth, between the hard palate and soft palate that stimulates the sucking reflex. This might create a lazy baby who will have trouble drawing moms nipple into his mouth far enough back to that same sucking reflex is stimulated during feeding time. The pacifiers shape can even cause changes in the arch of the soft bony roof of the mouth, molding it high and narrow around the shape of the pacifier.
    It is very important to avoid two common, yet very harmful, practices when using pacifiers. First, do not tie the pacifier to a string so that its readily available within babys reach should the urge strike. This is especially dangerous once baby becomes mobile and learning to crawl and roll, and could pose a strangulation hazard. Secondly, do not dip the pacifier tip in honey or something equally sweet, as this could introduce cavities in babys teeth. Generally speaking, infants and toddlers do not receive regular dental checkups like older children and adults, so therefore if a cavity should develop as a result of such a practice, it could result in severe harm and pain in babys mouth and teeth.
    And finally, be aware of the overuse or misuse of a pacifier. If your baby isnt fussy or upset, a pacifier is obviously not needed. Be aware of how you are feeling as a parent when you are offering a pacifier to your baby. Is it really to pacify baby? Or is it more to pacify you?
