How Can I Increase My Milk Supply?

First, consider why you feel the need to increase your milk supply. Lots of moms think they have a low milk supply, when their milk supply is just fine. If you are exclusively breastfeeding and baby’s weight gain is on target, there is absolutely nothing wrong with your milk supply. This holds true even if baby is fussy, suddenly gets hungry often, will take a bottle immediately after breastfeeding, or if your breasts are soft, and even if you aren’t able to pump any milk. If baby is gaining weight, you DO have enough milk. To maintain a healthy milk supply, most moms don’t need to do anything (besides feed baby when she’s hungry).

If you do have a low milk supply, you'll need to figure out why. Work with an internationally certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) to help get to the root of your particular supply issue. If your supply is dropping, it may mean that baby isn't effectively removing the milk from your breasts. You may need to help baby achieve a deeper latch, or you may need to wake baby to nurse more frequently. It is very important not to supplement as you try to build your milk supply (unless there is a clear medical reason, like if a newborn has dropped 10 percent of his birth weight). Supplemental bottles signal your body to make less milk. Also, using artificial nipples (aka bottles or pacifiers) can lower your milk supply since baby can learn improper sucking techniques. Pacifiers can also lower supply by taking away baby's cues to feed.

Once you have identified the problem and know how to solve it (or if you are trying to boost your supply for another reason, like to increase your pumping output at work or to feed an adopted baby), there are three main ways to increase your milk supply:

Frequent feedings

Frequent breastfeeding is the number one way to establish and/or grow your supply of breast milk. As a general rule, the more baby nurses, the more milk your body will produce. Nursing baby every two hours (or less) for a couple of days can be very effective in giving your supply a boost. Frequent nursing is especially important in the first days and weeks of breastfeeding as you work to establish a healthy supply of breast milk.

Breast pumps

If frequent nursing isn't boosting your supply enough, consider emptying your breasts with a high-quality double-electric pump. Breastfeeding is a supply-and-demand affair: Your body makes milk according to the amount removed from your breasts. Try pumping between feedings or pumping one breast while baby nurses on the other. Continue to pump for five or so minutes after the milk stops coming. The added stimulation will signal your body to produce more milk.

Galactagogues

Galactagogues are substances that increase milk supply. Fenugreek, blessed thistle, and alfalfa are herbal galactagogues sometimes used to increase supply, and sometimes prescription medicines are used, like Metoclopramide (Reglan), Domperidone (Motilium), and sulpiride (Eglonyl, Dolmatil, Sulpitil, Sulparex, Equemote). The drug Domperidone isn't widely available in the United States, but it is approved by the American Academy of Pediatrics for use in breastfeeding mothers. (The primary use of the drug is to treat nausea and vomiting caused by other drugs; a boost in milk production is a side effect.) Talk to a doctor and/or board certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) before using any galactagogue.

Rest and stress reduction may make it easier for you to make milk too. And remember to avoid pacifiers and bottles, and give baby only breast milk. (If you have been supplementing with formula, gradually give less and less. This should help baby suckle on your breasts more, leading to increased milk supply.)

Pregnancy: Foods To Avoid!

2011-04-26T08:25:00.007+08:00

Credit to google images

Welcome to pregnancy! Here are some tips about food safety during the pregnancy. Well....not all foods are safe throughout your pregnancy, you will see several issues you must avoid consuming:-

1) Unpasteurized products

Cheese - you can find some which might be potentially harmful to a pregnant mum because of the bacterium. Keep away from both pasteurised and unpasteurised soft cheeses like Brie, Camembert and Danish Blue.

Also avoid cheeses like Gouda, Post Salut which coated in wax. And it’s good to stay away from most of blue cheeses like Stilton, Gorgonzola and Roquefort. However, some cheeses like Cheddar and Parmesan are in safe category. And also for softer cheeses comprised of pasteurised milk including Cottage cheese, mozzarella, ricotta, processed cheese and cheese spreads.

Avoid also all milk items which have not been pasteurised.

2) Eggs

It is good to stay away from any foods created with raw or partly cooked eggs like homemade mayonnaise, meringues, cheesecakes, sorbets or mousses because the salmonella bacteria are most commonly discovered in eggs.
However, eggs are simply secure if they well cooked. Shop-bought mayonnaises are usually safe as long as they've been created with pasteurised eggs.

3) Seafood

Avoid consume certain fish like exotic, shark, swordfish and tilefish because of the high in mercury. Oysters and any raw or uncooked fish need to be avoided. Also shelled seafood like crab, prawns, and langoustines should be ignored unless they have been thoroughly cooked and are hot. Fresh tuna should only be consumed once a month on account of the possible levels of mercury found within. However, tinned tuna comprises lower levels so this is secure to eat every week.

4) Meat

Don't eat raw or under cooked meat or poultry like sushi and rare meat. Also stay far from meats which have been preserved in nitrates including salami, frankfurters and luncheon meat. If you're buying a deli sandwich you can ask for them to eat the meat up somewhat due to the risk of listeriosis.

Constantly cook meat so the juices run clear and there is no blood within. Pregnant women also need to avoid from consuming liver because it contains vitamin A in the sort of retinol. Excessive amounts of vitamin A in non-beta-carotene form can cause birth defects.

5) Caffeine, soda and chocolate

In the occasion you discover this awkward you can to wean yourself off, but the less caffeine inside your system the better it's for the baby.

Have a safe and wonderful pregnancy to all moms-to-be!

Child and Obesity

2011-01-06T11:38:00.005+08:00

Obesity among children and adolescents is a very serious issue that has a lot of medical and social effects that could probably persist into adulthood. Instigating prevention programs and an improved perception of treatments available for youngsters is crucial in the prevention for child obesity.

Obesity is considered the most common dietary crisis faced by a lot of Americans today. Both infants and children are not exempted from this grave health threat. This condition often happens when they are taking more calories than their small bodies can use. Like adults, this puts them in a very high risk of other health complications.

Facts of childhood obesity:-

• Carelessness in food, alarming increase in the number of children and teenagers developing Type-2 Diabetes (also termed as adult-onset diabetes) due to being overweight.

• High levels of cholesterol and high blood pressure, that are some main risk factors for development of heart diseases are found in most of the obese children.

• Sleep Apnea is considered as the most severe problem faced by obese children. In the sleep apnea (interruption of breath while sleeping) may lead to other problems like difficulty in learning and memory.

• Overweight children are on higher risk of developing liver diseases, orthopedic problems and asthma.

• 70% oboist teenagers retain their overweight and obese condition even during their adulthood.

Treatment for Child Obesity:

Child obesity is a multi-faceted problem that requires the commitment of both parents and the child. When left untreated, is a very real health menace that could cause the development of some diseases. This includes cardiovascular complications, hypertension, and some types of cancer.

1. Plan a diet for your child that contains low carbohydrate, medium fat and high protein food. Exclude carbohydrate foods like cake, ice creams, chocolate, jam, sugar, sweets, etc.

2. Encourage him to participate in sports and other physical activities. This will help him in shedding extra fat from the body.

3. Parents have a large role to play. Diet pattern and physical activities of children are to be focused upon. They should be aware that eating slowly helps children to recognize when they are full, so encourage slow eating.

4. Planned and low-fat snacks which are portion-controlled can help keep kids remain satisfied between meals and stay away from overeating; thus snacks must be planned.

5. Allocation of specific areas for eating and that too on a table is essential but it should not be in a room with a television. Children should focus on meals while eating rather than becoming unaware whether they are full while watching the television.

6.A particular type of food like candy or cookies should not be abandoned and let everyone in the family enjoy them in moderation.

7. Be aware of what is served at school or pack a nutritious lunch for your child. Have a dinner with the whole family as regularly as possible. Use this time to enjoy your meal and learn about your child's activities that day.

8. Unless your doctor recommends it, do not put your child on a restrictive diet. Children have specific nutritional needs, so limiting what your child eats can interfere with healthy growth and development.

Exercise and Pregnancy

2010-12-09T12:58:00.003+08:00

Photo:www.inmagine.com

Prescribing a medication for pregnant women is a complex process.

Before obstetricians and gynecologists decide which dose of which drug can best treat a condition without putting any harmful side effects on the mother and the baby, they consider the patient’s age, general health, the number of months before delivery, tolerance for medications, and any other drugs the pregnant patient may be taking.

Prescribing exercise on pregnant women has to be just as scientific and precise. The type, intensity, frequency, and duration of a “dose” of exercise are all critical. One person’s healthy, vigorous workout could be hazardous to another. These dangers may be greater in pregnant women because they are more likely to have strains and other serious side effects for the would-be mother.

However, if exercise will be implemented and carried out in a normal, average range, exercise will not have an effect on the overall condition of the pregnancy and especially on labor or delivery.

Pregnancy

Quality prenatal care should be given to a mother during her pregnancy. She should be prepared for the normal delivery of a healthy baby. Complications should be prevented at all costs.

All of these things are boiled down to the fact that a pregnant woman should be cared in such a way that she will not be compelled to do vigorous work but should not also stay in bed and be inactive until she gives birth to her baby.

Consequently, a pregnant woman’s condition varies in relation to the growth and development of the baby in side her womb. Therefore, it is necessary that proper health guidance be provided by her physician during her visit.

Moreover, it is important to keep the pregnant woman’s life active in order to promote good health, not only for her but also for the baby most importantly.

Physical conditions like blood pressure, weight and health status is usually monitored during the pregnant woman’s visit to her doctor. For this reason, it is significant to note that exercise can be the number one factor in order to keep these aspects in good condition.

As the health experts contend, adequate physical and emotional information is needed by a pregnant woman to prepare herself for delivery. She needs practical health messages in keeping herself and the baby healthy.

Hence, for mothers or would-be mothers who are not yet aware why they should exert some effort in engaging into moderate, normal exercise, here is a list of some of its benefits so that you will be able to understand the reason why pregnant women have to exercise regularly:

1. Defiance against fatigue

As muscle becomes fatigued, it produces less force. To accomplish a task like climbing the stairs, for example, or shoveling snow, more units of muscle must be called into play to back up the wearied muscles.

The tired muscles are both less efficient and less effective. Hence, this will just put more strain on the pregnant woman because of the weight that is continuously adding up each day. That is why tired muscles will usually result to leg cramps or sore muscles.

What every pregnant woman must know is that exercise improves the condition of the muscles and their ability to work longer without fatigue.

2. Reduce backaches

Even when you sit or stand, some muscles are working, and such relatively easy postures can tax some muscles and cause fatigue. The muscles of the lower back, for example, can be exhausted and worn out by the effort of keeping erect when a pregnant woman stand still for several hours.

With exercise, a pregnant woman can correct this error by developing her posture.

3. Increase the amount of oxygen

Work and exercise rely on glycogen, a substance produced by the body from complex carbohydrates and stored muscles and liver. The supply of glycogen in the muscles determines and limits the duration of activity. Exercise depletes the glycogen in the muscles and leads to tiredness.

However, when glycogen is depleted by strenuous activity, it is replaced in quantities greater than before, as if the body recognized the need to lay in a larger supply of fuel.

Hence, oxidation is essential for converting glycogen to the energy that pregnant women need to wiggle a finger, flex a muscle, or practice the lungs and heart for some blowing action during normal delivery.

These are just some of the many benefits exercise can bring to pregnant women. Besides, nothing is completely wrong for a pregnant woman doing some moderate exercises. The only important thing to remember is that before starting an exercise program, whether pregnant or not, it is best to consult your doctor. As they say, doctors know best!

Bronchial Pneumonia

2010-04-22T14:49:00.002+08:00

Waiting for a physioteraphy session. Very scared moment! Poor of you my dear..
My two girls were suffered of Bronchial Pneumonia last 2 months. Force them to being admitted for 4 days at DEMC, Shah Alam. Poor little girls! ..and mama too!..and Abah also (settled the bills). Hopefully.. no more "admitted" after this!

For mommies out there..usually this BP starts with a common cold and cough that is being neglected, it gradually gets worse and needs to be treated by a paed. So..if you notice a wheezing sound of your child breath, bring them to paed immediately.

"Bronchial pneumonia is a bacterial or viral infection affecting the bronchial tubes and patches of the lungs. Irritation and inflammation can spread to several bronchi patches and is likely to be present in both lungs. Patients can develop this condition after being sick from a cold or flu due to a weakened immune system; asthma and allergy sufferers--as well as smokers--are more susceptible to bronchial pneumonia due to decreased lung capacity. This disease is more common in infants, children, the elderly, and patients with compromised immune systems, affecting the respiratory system as well as the entire body."

Baby Bottles - BPA Free.....

2009-10-08T10:19:00.003+08:00

Dear Mommies....

I just want to share with you about the dangers of Bisphenol A (BPA) that present in most plastics, especially baby bottles. Here are two of my new baby bottles (BPA Free) that I just bought last night at TESCO. Why I am so concious..???

BPA is a synthetic chemical used to make baby plastic bottles. It has been used for many years to make a variety of baby products and recently news have resurfaced that the chemical can leech out and cause harm to the baby. Tests done in small animals reveal that even minute doses of Bisphenol A are highly toxic. Today, every medical problem in the baby is being blamed on Bisphenol A. There are claims that Bisphenol A causes hyperactive behavior, obesity, decreases attention span, induces spontaneous anger, causes disruptive behavior spells and may even act like a carcinogen.

Ten Tips for Surviving an Overdue Pregnancy

2009-06-30T10:53:00.002+08:00

Your belly is huge, your due date

has passed, and yet little Susie or Johnny has shown no interest in moving out of his or her cozy home. Your due date is calculated by counting forward 280 days from the start of your last menstrual period. Your due date is only an estimate of when your baby should come and is often off by a number of days. It is very common to deliver past your due date particularly if you are a first time mom. Knowing that it is common provides little comfort when you are the one overdue. Below are our best tips for surviving an overdue pregnancy.

1. Talk to your doctor.

Women have varying opinions on labor and childbirth. Some prefer a natural, wait and see approach, while others are very anxious and eagerly interested in induction. In our mother's generation it was not uncommon to deliver at 42 or even 43 weeks. Presently many doctors will induce at 40 or 41 weeks if your cervix is favorable. If you would prefer the wait and see approach, or your cervix is unfavorable for induction, your doctor or midwife will monitor you and baby closely. You will likely have a non stress test or biophysical profile done once or even twice a week if you are overdue. By 42 weeks your doctor will most likely choose to induce regardless of whether you cervix is favorable or not.

2. Get lots of rest.

The last month of pregnancy is exhausting. You may not be sleeping well due to discomfort and anxiety about your approaching labor. Remember to keep taking your prenatal vitamins and rest as much as you can. Lack of sleep and fatigue can war on your mood. Use a body pillow at night to help you sleep. Take an afternoon nap if you are not sleeping well or just rest with you feet up if sleep is not possible.

3. Finish up preparations for baby.

Now is a good time to finish up those last minute things you need for baby. You may have packed your hospital bag weeks earlier and finished the nursery what seems like ages ago, so here are a few ideas you might not have thought of to keep yourself busy. Install your car seat and have it checked for safety. Many hospitals and insurance companies will do car seat safety checks. Purchase a lullaby CD and set up a rocking chair nearby to rock your baby to sleep. Lastly, if you haven't already now is a good time to buy your husband or partner to bring to work after baby's birth. It's a little old fashioned, but hey some men still do it.

4. Try relaxation and meditation.

If you've never done relaxation exercises or meditation this probably sounds a bit corny, but it can't hurt to try it. Purchase a CD if you don't have one already with relaxing music or sounds from the rainforest or beach. Try slow deep breaths relaxing your muscles one at a time. Alternatively, you can purchase a CD or video that gives specific instructions on relaxation exercises. Now would also be a good time to practice relaxation and breathing exercises form your child birth class.

5. Try natural labor inducers.

There are a few things you can try to induce labor naturally. Foods such as pineapple and eggplant have been suggested as labor inducers. Cooked in a yummy recipe, it's certainly worth a shot. Cinnamon tea made from cinnamon sticks steeped in hot water is another thing you can try. Walking is something else you can try. The verdict is still out as to whether walking actually helps, but a little exercise is good for the body and soul regardless of effectiveness in inducing labor. There are many other tips, tricks, and old wives tales you can try naturally induce labor. Check with your doctor or midwife before trying anything to naturally induce labor.

6. Check fetal movements.

It is very important when you are overdue to keep a close eye on fetal movements. There are variations on how to keep track of fetal kick counts, so talk to your doctor about how to track and monitor your baby's movements. If you notice a decrease or change in your baby's activity call your doctor.

7. Observe for signs of labor.

For some women keeping track of signs of labor will bring comfort and others it is plain out discouraging. As you pregnancy comes to an end your body will show sings or readiness for labor. Increasing Braxton Hicks contractions, pelvic achiness, backache, and increasing vaginal secretions are all early signs or labor. Early labor symptoms can begin weeks before labor, but all these signs are reassuring that your body is indeed getting ready for birth.

8. Keep busy.

Keeping busy will help keep your mind off of things. Here are a few suggestions to keep yourself busy. Take this time to freeze up a few meals for after baby's birth. This will allow you a little extra time and rest when baby is home. Make a belly cast of your pregnant tummy to commemorate your pregnancy. Start a scrapbook album for your baby. You can include mementos from your pregnancy and prepare pages for after baby's birth. Knitting, crocheting, or other hobbies can also be distracting.

9. Ask for help.

If you are having a hard time physically or emotionally ask for support from your family, friends, or health care provider. You may be shouting from the inside, but unless you tell someone they may not know how you feel. If you are having feelings of anxiety or depression talk to your doctor.

10. Do something nice for yourself.

A massage, manicure, or trip to the hair salon are all good ideas to treat yourself at the end of pregnancy. If you can't convince baby to come out and play, at least mommy should have a good time.

So sad...Why I'm not Pregnant Yet??

2009-04-29T09:24:00.013+08:00

Most couples are blessed with fertility and get pregnant quickly and easily the old-fashioned way. For others, conceiving is not so simple. It seems funny or sad that one couple makes a baby the first time they have sex (whether they want a baby or not), while another couple can try for months or even years without getting the child they want so badly.

People trying to have a baby have often been advised to aim for the woman’s fertile time midway between her periods. The best way to get pregnant is to have intercourse during a woman's most fertile times, which is the time leading up to her ovulation each month. To successfully conceive, it is best to have intercourse in the fertile window of opportunity starting at about 2-3 days before ovulation. Sperm can live for up to 3 days in the right conditions, and it is the fertile cervical mucus present in a women’s cervix and vagina in the few days leading up to ovulation that creates these perfect conditions for sperm.

Along with timing intercourse correctly, there are also ways to improve fertility. There are many types of infertility treatments. Two of the more popular ones are in vitro fertilization and artificial insemination (or IUI). I believe most women want to take a natural route to conception, but sometimes it's just not possible for those who are having difficulty getting pregnant to conceive without seeing fertility specialists. For some women, the high cost of infertility treatment prevents them from pursuing medical intervention.

Now a day, there are also natural infertility treatments in the form of homeopathic medicine and acupuncture, which many women have found very beneficial to their fertility.

Homeopathic medicine has a lot to offer couples who are trying to conceive, helping treat a variety of causes of male and female infertility. This alternative form of infertility treatment is effective because it improves overall and reproductive health in both partners. Each homeopathic treatment is individualized in order to suit your specific needs, symptoms, lifestyle, and health. Homeopathic practitioners recommend small dosages of remedies which are the highly diluted form of an original crude substance of animal, mineral, or plant source.

Besides, there are some herbs that are considered fertility herbs that help women and men with their fertility. Some are overall good tonics for healthier bodies and reproductive systems and others are used to target specific problems.

Exclusively for Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Singapore and other places…here are some excellent herbs that are specially produce to increase fertility both women and men. It was proven!

2) Ask friends and neighbors for babysitter recommendations. It is always better to receive a recommendation from people whom you trust. If this sitter did a great job with their kids, they will most likely to do a great job with yours.

3) If the above method does not work out, you need to find a babysitter a different way. It is time to do some research. Call the career services of a near-by college or university, ask at your place of worship, and look around for postings at elementary school or in your work place. You can also sign up for a site online that has profiles of babysitters in your area. You can read these posted "resumes" so that you can find someone nearby who is able to/willing to sit for you.

4) Call up the list of finalists, i.e. the girls that you thought had the most potential, and interview them over the phone. Ask them for a few references, about their experience, and try to get a good feel for who they are. If they sound mature and friendly, they are still in the running!

5) Call the girls' references.

6) For the two candidates that you feel are the best, invite them down to your house for a quick tour and for a trial babysitting period. This "test" can just be for a few hours during a weekend afternoon while you go run errands.

7) If your kids like both girls, perfect! You have two potential babysitters so if one does not have the date available, then you can call the second. Call one up and schedule her for the date you need! The process to find a babysitter might seem difficult and time-consuming, but it is very important for you to find someone you and your kids both like. Ideally, you will not need to look for a sitter for many years to come! Good luck and enjoy your night out!

10 ways to increase your chances of conception

2008-10-30T15:45:00.004+08:00

Most couples spend so many months and years trying not to get pregnant that they assume getting pregnant is what happens the moment they relax. It can be disheartening to realize there's more to babymaking than discontinuing contraception. Here are 10 simple things you can do to stack the pregnancy odds in your favor.

1. Eat, drink and make baby
Zinc shortages in men have been linked to lower testosterone levels and sperm counts, so men should consume foods rich in zinc, such as lean meats, eggs, seafood and whole grains. Calcium and vitamin D may improve men's fertility, so drink your milk, Men. And sip that tea, Ladies. According to a 1998 study by Bette Caan at the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program of Northern California, women who drank more than half a cup of tea per day were seven times as likely to conceive during the three months that the study lasted.

2. Live clean and well
Abstain from alcohol, cigarettes (even second-hand smoke) and medications (prescription, over-the-counter and herbal), and steer clear of toxic chemicals, including household cleaners. Limit your consumption of chocolate and caffeinated sodas, teas and coffees. Excessive exercise and a very low body fat percentage can lead to fertility problems in women, so stay active, but don't overdo it.

3. Stay cool and hang loose
Sperm production is inhibited by overheated testicles, so men are advised to wear breathable boxers and loose-fitting pants, avoid soaking in hot baths or hot tubs and sitting in saunas, and even cut back on bicycling and rough sports.

4. Identify your window of opportunity
You've undoubtedly heard about various remedies to enhance fertility. While it's tempting to swallow those claims, you shouldn't take anything without first consulting your healthcare provider. Frankly, nothing makes a baby more effectively than simply timing intercourse with ovulation.

According to John R Sussman, MD, an ob/gyn in New Milford, Connecticut, and co-author of The Unofficial Guide to Having a Baby, babymaking is mainly a numbers game:

You ovulate about 14 days before you get your period. "If your cycle length varies from 24 days to 30 days," says Dr Sussman, "then you can count on ovulating somewhere between Day 10 and Day 16."
An egg only lives for 12 to 24 hours; intercourse after ovulation is usually too late.
Sperm can live up to 72 hours; intercourse as much as three days before ovulation could still result in pregnancy.

Dr Sussman sums it up: "Your window of opportunity opens about three days before the earliest possible ovulation and closes about a day after the latest possible ovulation."

5. Use an ovulation predictor kit
Ovulation Predictor Kits [OPKs] are a great way to maximize your chances of conception, says Dr Sussman. These will help to quickly and accurately detects the increase in luteinizing hormone in your urine (LH Surge), which normally occurs 24 to 36 hours before ovulation. You are most likely to become pregnant if you have intercourse within 36 hours after you detect your LH surge.

Charting and tracking your basal body temperature (BBT) charting is another option recommended by some doctors.

6. See your caregiver
Schedule an appointment for a preconception checkup. Your caregiver will review your family history, make sure you're in good health, and will discuss your current contraceptive method. Many fertility experts recommend that a woman stop taking the birth control pill at least three months before she tries to become pregnant. This way, your cycles can return to normal, allowing you your best chance at achieving pregnancy and helping to more precisely determine gestational age if you do conceive.

If you have not already, you should talk to your caregiver about prenatal vitamins, and if she or he recommends them for you, begin taking them even before you try to conceive.

7. Time the baby dance
Dr Sussman generally recommends intercourse every one to two days within your window of opportunity. "Some people ask whether the sperm count suffers with intercourse every day. While that may be the case for certain men, it's not for all," he says.

A man's testosterone levels and sperm count are highest in the morning, so sex may be most productive then.

8. Choreograph the dancing
Not only does it matter when you have sex; it also matters how. According to some fertility experts, the missionary position (man on top) allows for deepest penetration and can deposit the sperm closest to the cervix.

Similarly, if the woman has an orgasm, her contractions may further carry the sperm into the cervix. Avoid artificial lubricants or oils; petroleum jelly, glycerin and even saliva, which can all kill sperm.

9. Stop babymaking and start lovemaking
When you're "trying," it's easy to let the mechanics of babymaking overshadow the romance of lovemaking. Unfortunately, stress can interrupt normal ovulation cycles in women, kill your sex drive, and can even cause men's testosterone levels and sperm count to drop.

If you want your baby's conception to be a loving and unforgettable experience, be sure you relax enough to enjoy it!

10. Seek help
Though it certainly can, conception doesn't typically happen overnight. So how long should you "try" before seeking intervention?

Many experts suggest waiting about a year after first trying to conceive, depending on your history, age and temperament. Says Dr Sussman, "Couples who have not conceived after three to six months of excellent timing should be offered at least a preliminary evaluation. Then there are couples who clearly haven't mastered timing or aren't in any hurry. They can comfortably wait for a year or more."

Sometimes the mere threat of intervention is enough to make sperm meet egg.

"I knew I would get pregnant as soon as I had that reproductive endocrinologist referral in hand," recalls Kelly Moronko, mother of one with one on the way in Riverside, California. "One week before my appointment I tested positive. I'd bet money that if I check my records the referral was approved the same day I ovulated!"

Expert Answers

Karen and Gale Pryor, authors of Nursing Your Baby

Some nursing moms find they can eat whatever they like. While it's true that some strongly flavored foods may change the taste of your milk, most babies seem to enjoy a variety of breast milk flavors! Generally, the dominant flavors of your diet — whether soy sauce or chili peppers — were in your amniotic fluid during pregnancy. Fetuses swallow a fair amount of amniotic fluid before birth, so when they taste those flavors again in their mother's breast milk, they're already accustomed to them.

Occasionally a baby will be fussy at the breast or gassy after you eat a particular food. If you notice a pattern, avoid that food for a few days. To test whether that food really was the cause, reintroduce it once and see if there's an effect. Mothers report that babies most often object to chocolate; spices (cinnamon, garlic, curry, chili pepper); citrus fruits and their juices, like oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruit; strawberries; kiwifruit; pineapple; the gassy veggies (onion, cabbage, garlic, cauliflower, broccoli, cucumbers, and peppers); and fruits with a laxative effect, such as cherries and prunes.

A daily cup or two of coffee is fine, but too much caffeine can interfere with your baby's sleep or make him fussy. Remember that caffeine is also found in some sodas, teas, and over-the-counter medicines. It's also okay to have an occasional alcoholic drink. But having more than one drink increases your blood alcohol level to the point that the alcohol gets into your milk. If you plan on having more than one drink at a time, wait two hours per drink before resuming nursing (or nurse, then have your glass of wine).

There's no need to pump and dump unless your breasts are full and it's still not time to feed your baby. Moderate or heavy drinking is definitely not recommended while breastfeeding. An old wive's tale suggests that dark beer increases milk production, but recent studies suggest this is not true and that alcohol, in fact, reduces milk production. If your baby has allergy symptoms (such as eczema, fussiness, congestion, or diarrhea), they may be caused by something he's in regular contact with, such as soap, mildew, or foods he's eating himself. Or he may be reacting to foods you eat that get into his system via your breast milk.

It usually requires a bit of detective work to figure out exactly what's causing the sensitivity. If you think that something you're eating is causing problems for your baby, it's usually something you've eaten two to six hours before feeding. The most common culprits include cows' milk products, followed by soy, wheat, egg, nuts, and corn or corn syrup. Talk to your baby's doctor before you omit any foods from your diet. If avoiding a food could cause a nutritional imbalance (for example, if you eliminate all dairy products), you may need to see a nutritionist for advice on substituting other foods or taking nutritional supplements. Continue taking your prenatal vitamin as long as your baby's fully breastfed to cover any gaps in your own diet.

Tips for multiple births

2008-07-25T13:11:00.003+08:00

Multiple pregnancies have been on the rise in the recent years with the increasing number of twins and other types of multiple being born. So, the following discussion is based on how to handle multiple births. There are different reasons which lead to multiple births.

Firstly, due to the release of multiple eggs or if there is more than one ovulation during menstrual cycle. if both the eggs are fertilized it results in fraternal twins. Secondly, in case of identical twins, one egg is released and fertilized but divides into two. Both the above conditions can occur naturally or can be obtained using fertility drugs. Use of such drugs is on the rise these days.

Early detection of twins or multiple births can be done by ultrasound, while others find rapid growth rate of uterus causing them to suspect twins. During prenatal tests the doctor may find abnormally high level of hCG, since multiple babies will increase the level of these hormones. If the mother is detected with multiple pregnancies it is necessary to increase the nutritional intake. In general the mother must increase the amount of protein consumption. Since protein is the building bloc of every cell in both mother and babies body. Moreover it will help to build a good placenta and a strong amniotic sac.

The following are some tips for a healthy pregnancy. A healthy diet can reduce the problem of low birth weight which is a common problem during multiple pregnancies. Consuming about 300 additional calories along with additional protein and calcium can solve the problem. Expert medical monitoring during pregnancy may reduce the risk of complications such as high blood pressure, twin to twin transfusion and decreased growth rate of the babies. Proper rest is very essential and must consult a physician regularly for diet and other charts.

You're Trying to Get Pregnant

2008-07-03T17:33:00.003+08:00

by Amelia Yap

You are here because you want to experience the joys of parenthood. By increasing your fertility you have a better opportunity to bring a child into this world.

3 easy ways to increase your fertility.

Use these 3 tips to improve your fertility and increase your chances of and getting pregnant.

1. Getting More Sleep

The hormone leptin, known as an appetite and weight-regulation-hormone plays a critical role in female fertility. Leptin levels fall when we are sleep-deprived. Researchers have found low levels of leptin in some infertile women. When you are trying to conceive, set yourself up a sleep schedule, always going to sleep and waking up at the same time.

2. Reduce Exposure to Pesticides

Exposure to the man made chemical methoxychlor (member of the DDT family) reduced testosterone levels, which may in turn, reduce male fertility. This same pesticide which is used to kill files, mosquitoes and other insects can also impair the function of a woman's reproductive system.

3. Vitamins and Supplements

Research has shown that vitamin supplements increases both the mid-cycle basal body temperature and progesterone levels -- both of which are used to assess ovulation.

Some beneficial vitamins and minerals include:

- Zinc is an essential mineral used by the body and is very important for the growth and overall health of the fetus.

- Iron increases fertility and reduces the risk of premature birth

- Folic Acid can decrease the risk of the fetus suffering a neural defect by 50%.

- Vitamin C needs to be taken daily as it is water soluble which means that it is not stored in the body for long periods of time and must be replenished frequently.

- Magnesium deficiency is linked to a higher risk of miscarriage.

How to Get Pregnant Fast

2008-06-17T11:16:00.003+08:00

If you and your partner have decided that the time is right for you to begin your family, you may be thinking a lot about how you can manage to get pregnant as fast as possible. First of all, congratulations! Planning for a family is an exciting and commendable undertaking. You are in for an adventure that will last a lifetime.

When you are considering how you can best get pregnant fast, try to remember that pregnancy is very difficult to control or force. You ultimately are just going to have to wait for Mother Nature to help you along! Unlike many things in your life, getting pregnant is not entirely under your control. If you are a powerful woman who likes to get things done at your own pace, then this fact can be a difficult one to swallow. Don’t worry; there are still plenty of things that you can do to help you on how to get pregnant fast.

Pregnancy occurs when you have intercourse during your ovulation period and one of the sperm manages to connect up with the egg that you have released. You only release one egg per month (unless there is some sort of irregularity, it which case you could release two eggs and conceive twins), so there are approximately twelve opportunities for you to get pregnant each year. The window of opportunity in each of these months may be as small as two or three days. This can be pretty alarming for couples who are wanting to know how to get pregnant fast, be it doesn’t have to be that way.

The trick on how to get pregnant fast is to figure out when you are ovulating each month. If you can do this successfully, you will be able to have intercourse on these days in order to improve the odds that you will become pregnant that month. If you do not know when you are ovulating, you may miss these days and not have intercourse. This means that you will probably not become pregnant in that month, and you will have to wait until the next month for another opportunity.

In order to keep the monthly opportunity from passing without you taking advantage of it, you can do one of two things. The first technique you can use to get pregnant fast is to have intercourse every day of the month. Obviously, your partner will have to agree to this technique if it is to be useful. In this way, you will guarantee that you are having intercourse on the days that you ovulate.

The other, slightly less tiring approach on how to get pregnant fast is to use an ovulation detector to determine when you are ovulating. These can be purchased in the feminine care aisle of the grocery or drugstore and used at home to tell you when you are fertile. Then it is up to you to have intercourse on these days to conceive. No matter how you do it, good luck as you try to get pregnant fast!

Waiting Longer to Have a Baby?

2008-06-05T09:44:00.003+08:00

Author: Mardie Caldwell, COAP

Many women today get caught up in the corporate world and wake up one morning, realizing they have been delaying motherhood. It is not unusual to see women over 40 having children. What are the risks to the mother when having a child late in life? What extra step does a mother over 40 needs to take to maintain a healthy pregnancy?

Physical Risks to an Older MotherA woman in her 20's and 30's is usually at the peak of her health. Aging issues such as vitamin deficiencies, heart disease, and high blood pressure are all less likely to affect an expectant mother in this age range. When women start to reach their 40's the risk factors for these diseases and many others become much higher.

An older pregnant woman who chooses to have a child is usually classified as a high-risk pregnancy because of the variety of physical ailments, which become more prominent in her age group. I remember clearly my doctor warning me about trying to get pregnant after 39 and how the risks were off the charts for me and my baby.

Other issues that may arise during pregnancy for a mother in her 40's include: anemia, varicose veins, cancer, muscle pains, uterine fibroids, diabetes, miscarriages, stillbirth, and cesarean delivery.

Having a Healthy BabyPregnant moms in their 40's who are pregnant will have an uphill battle with chronic health conditions and maintaining necessary lifestyle limitations while pregnant. Most physicians advise women planning a pregnancy late in life to start adding folic acid and a prenatal vitamin to their daily routine, before trying to get pregnant.

Obstetricians treating mothers-to-be over the age of 40 highly recommend you should not drink caffeine or smoke at all. Maintaining a diet that is high in nutritional foods, vitamins and minerals is also essential months before you conceive.

Specialty Pregnancy and Monitoring TestsIt is usually much more expensive for a mother in her 40's to have a baby than it is for younger moms-to-be. Ultrasounds will be done very frequently to ensure the baby is healthy and still moving around enough. A quad marker screen is usually done to identify problems with the baby's brain, neural tissues, central nervous system, and spinal cord. This test also identifies Down syndrome which is more prevalent in women over the age of 35.

An amniocentesis involves inserting a thin needle into the amniotic fluid. This will test for birth defects such as cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, sickle cell disease, and neural tube defects or Spinal bifida. This test is often performed on older expectant mothers. Having a child can be one of the greatest joys a couple will experience in their life, but it is important for older women to be aware of the increased risk to their life and that of their child if they choose to get pregnant later in life. Often times, the risks to the mother are great and other options such as adoption or surrogacy may be a better choice to maintain the health of the mother.

The more you know, the better decisions you will make in creating a family!

How to Conceive a Boy

2008-03-11T12:51:00.003+08:00

Determining the Time of Ovulation:

Determining when you ovulate is vital when you are learning how to conceive a boy. Shettles recommends that you have sex as early as 24 hours before ovulation to no more than 12 hours past ovulation in order to increase your chances of conceiving a boy. Having sex too far in advance to ovulation will dramatically decrease your chances of conceiving a boy. The timing of intercourse in relation to ovulation is a vital factor in increasing your chances of having a boy.

Shettles suggests three specific ways in which to do this:-

1) Charting Cervical Mucus

2) Basal Body Temperature (BBT) Charting

3) Using Ovulation Predictor Kits

Gender Prediction

2008-03-10T12:02:00.005+08:00

Myth: According to folklore, you can deduce your baby's gender without medical tests. Here's how: -

If you carry low, it's a boy; high, it's a girl.

If you carry in front, it's a boy; if you're wide at the middle, it's a girl.

Hang your wedding ring from a strand of the father's hair over your belly. If the ring circles, it's girl; if it swings back and forth, it's a boy.

Is Baby's heart beat faster than 140 beats per minute (bpm)? It's a girl. Less than 130 bpm? It's a boy.

If morning sickness lingers all day, it's a girl.

Reality: The only sure-fire way to tell the gender of your unborn child is through ultrasound or amniocentesis.

Predicting Babies Gender with the Chinese Birth Calendar

2008-03-07T09:46:00.001+08:00

For whatever reason, many people just can not wait until the birth of their child to find out whether they have a girl or a boy. It is true that knowing the gender of the baby before the birth day can have it's advantages such as knowing which color clothes to buy and whether to paint the nursery pink or blue, while on the other side of the coin, not knowing the sex of the baby up until the birth can give the woman something to wonder about while going through the pains of labor.

In the modern world the most popular way of determining the sex of the unborn baby is by an ultrasound scan, this method is very reliable and with modern technology and the new 3-D scanning systems you are able to see quite clearly whether the baby it male or female. Before we had these wonderful scanning systems the methods to determine the sex of the baby within the womb was done in some very strange and peculiar ways, the use of dowsing was probably one of the most popular ways, basically this consisted of a stick or rod with a piece of string tied to the
end from which a ball was attached, this would then be held above the womans belly and the gender of the baby was determined on which way the string and Ball rotated. While this may seem very strange to many of us, nothing is more peculiar than the current flood of websites that are featuring the Chinese birth calendar.

Over 700 years ago a very strange and intriguing discovery was made in Beijing, the capital of China. This discovery was a simple chart that apparently predicted the gender of a baby even before conception, The Chinese birth calendar calculates its results based upon the woman's age and the month of conception, by drawing two straight lines 1 horizontal relating to your age and one vertical from the month of conception, the place where the lines meet is the predicted result of the gender of the baby.

While many people believe this chart to be extremely reliable in its predictions, (some believing it to be as much as 90%). we strongly recommend that it only be used for its fun factor, although the chart is currently on show at the Beijing Institute of science, there is no scientific evidence that we know of that can give any support to the workings of the Chinese Birth Calendar.
It is somewhat quite hilarious that the Chinese birth calendar predicts that a 21-year-old girl who conceives during the months from February to December will have a baby girl; this is quite a remarkable prediction that somehow seems a little far fetched to us. Just remember, being pregnant should be a wonderful and fun time for all mums-to-be so we recommend that you have a little fun with this chart and don not take it seriously.

Boy or Girl

Should You Choose the Sex of Your Child?
By Virginia Gilbert

In 1998, scientists at the Genetic and IVF Institute in Fairfax, Virginia stunned the medical community by patenting Microsort, a mechanical sperm sorter that gives potential parents a 90 percent chance of determining the sex of their child. Although this technique sounds like something out of a sci-fi novel, the practice of gender selection has been around in one form or another almost since the beginning of time.

The History of Gender Selection

To get a boy, the men of ancient Greece had sex while lying on their right side. Their counterparts in 18th century France actually tied off their left testicle to attain a male child. And according to classical Chinese theory, a woman could choose her baby's gender even into the third month of pregnancy: handling pearls would bring a girl; holding a bow and arrow, a boy.

As whimsical as they seem now, these methods often demonstrate deep-rooted cultural biases for children of a certain sex. In India and China, for example, the desire for a male child is still so strong that sex-selective abortion (SSA) is an accepted practice. In fact, it wasn't until 1998 that, in order to prevent SSA, the state legislature of Mahrashtra, India passed a law banning the use of prenatal testing for the purpose of sex selection.

Although the degree of preference for male infants in these cultures seems chilling, it's sadly understandable given the economic conditions that favor boys. In countries such as India, Southeast Asia, Egypt and Pakistan, sons are often needed to earn wages for the family. Sons may receive a large dowry when they marry. And they provide financial support for aging parents. Daughters, on the other hand, are expensive: parents must raise funds to purchase a dowry for them.

Girls in patriarchal societies may face grim futures, as implied by the following adage: "Even the beams of the house shed tears when a girl is born." Depending on the country, girls are less likely to attend school than boys. In Southeast Asia, for example, more boys than girls are vaccinated against childhood diseases. According to a recent Demographic and Health Survey (DHS), discrimination in medical care in Pakistan, Egypt, India and Bangladesh accounts for a skewed female mortality rate: girls ages one to four are almost two-thirds more likely to die than boys. If they do survive childhood, women in Bangladesh, Cameroon, India and Senegal face another hardship. The DHS determined that it is more common for married women in these countries to get divorced if they "fail" to produce a boy.

Medical Issues

For women who carry one of the 350-plus X-linked disorders (diseases that only male children inherit) such as hemophilia, Duchenne muscular dystrophy and X-linked hydrocephalus, gender selection is the closest thing to a guarantee for a healthy baby. In approximately 10 percent of the couples using the Microsort technique, the woman is a known carrier of an X-linked disorder and is undergoing sex selection to prevent passing on the disease to a male child.

While some may accuse these couples of playing God, partners attempting gender selection usually have practical reasons for doing so. Quality of life becomes an issue for both parents and child. For instance, will the child be so handicapped that he's in continual discomfort? What will happen to this child if the parents are no longer able to care for him? Will the parents' marriage weather the stress of raising a boy who will never live a normal life?

In MSNBC's "Breaking Bioethics" column, Glenn McGee, a leading bioethicist at the University of Pennsylvania, writes: "It is expensive to have hereditary predisposition to disease." Economics motivates not only prospective parents whose finances will be strained by their child's long-term medical care, but our healthcare system as well.
"In the next century medical institutions will certainly offer...discounts for families who take high-tech precautions that result in a less expensive birth," prophesizes McGee.

Use These Tips to Pick Your Baby's Gender
By Kelly Burgess

Kathy Varble of Tallahassee, Fla., is a expecting a baby at the end of this month. A baby boy, just as she and her husband wanted. The couple already has a daughter, age 4, and knew they were only going to have one more child. Although they would have been happy with either a boy or girl, they wanted to maximize their chances of it being a boy.
"My husband is the last Varble, and we really wanted to give having a boy our best shot," she says. "It wasn't something where we would have made the huge financial investment to guarantee a boy, but to try a natural method that really only required the cost of a book seemed realistic to me."

Gender Selection

The method Varble chose to try is outlined by Dr. Mark Moore in his book Baby Girl or Baby Boy: Determining the Sex of Your Child (Washington Publishers, 2002). Co-written with his wife, Lisa, a registered nurse, it details some practices that are generally believed to increase a couple's chances of influencing the gender of their baby. While there are no guarantees, Dr. Moore estimates that, if it's followed correctly, it has a statistical probability of working 80 percent of the time.

Dr. Moore's method is based on factors such as timing of ovulation and intercourse; there are other methods that involve more medical intervention. Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis is a type of IVF that guarantees a boy or girl, but it runs about $20,000. It also raises some difficult ethical questions, as it often results in the production of too many viable embryos that need to be dealt with in some manner.

MicroSort, the newest technology, involves artificial insemination of "sorted" sperm, and runs abut $2,500 per attempt. The success rate of this method is estimated to be about 91 percent for boys and 76 percent for girls. While these high-tech options are intriguing, the cost makes them impossible for some couples. As a result, there is constant interest in low-cost, natural ways to choose your child's gender.

Safe Sleeping-Baby Care

2008-03-06T16:24:00.003+08:00

By Robert Baird Baird [ 21/02/2008 ][ viewed 11 times ]

The way babies are put to bed has an effect on sudden infant death syndrome or what's commonly known as crib death. The number of babies dying has halved due to better awareness about this.

Stop smoking and never let anyone smoke in the same room as your baby. Don't let any one smoke in your home at all.
Always lay your baby on her back to sleep so that her breathing is unimpeded and she can lose heat from her front, face and head.
Don't let your baby get too hot, since she isn't very efficient at controlling her temperature. If the air temperature feels hot to you, it's very hot for her.Don't increase the amount of bedding when your baby is ill.Never over wrap your baby. Cover her with a cotton sheet and cellular blankets according to the room temperature.
Lay your baby in the feet to foot position at the end of the crib so that she can't wriggle down under the blankets and get too hot.Wakeful BabiesMost babies develop a routine of sleeping for perhaps two hours in the morning and again in the afternoon, but there are always exceptions.

While wakeful babies can be trying, they reward you in the end because they're usually very bright and affectionate, so don't be down hearted. Your baby is wakeful because she loves you and craves your friendship, she doesn't mean to starve you of sleep, she just wants to learn and be sociable. Every minute spent awake with you, she'll be forging new links with the world and developing many skills. Think about this, too when she's awake during the day, if she isn't tired, why should she sleep.

From her point of view, it's much better for her to stay with you, so don't be surprised if she cries when you leave her.What You Can TryKeep her temperature even touch her skin to check that she isn't too cold or hot, add or remove blankets if necessary. Check the room temperature a temperature of about 65°F (18°C) is comfortable.Change her diaper if it's wet or soiled and soothe the diaper area with a mild diaper cream (zinc oxide), if necessary.Use a rocking cradle or push her rhythmically in her carriage.

Play her a tape of the human heartbeat, the sound she heard in the womb.Play her music you listened to during pregnancy, or an old fashioned music box with a simple repetitive melody can be really effective.Play her a tape of you and your partner quietly talking.Put the crib on alternate sides of the bed each night so that you can take turns seeing to her. Talk to her and rock her, you don't need to pick her up.If she's obviously reluctant to sleep get her up and put her in her baby chair where she can see you.Hang a mobile over her crib so she has something interesting to watch when she wakes up.

A mobile that plays music is ideal. Fix a baby gym, with different noises and textures, across her crib or attach it to the bars so she can reach for it when she's bored.Blankets And BeddingUse enough bedding to keep her comfortably warm. When your baby is under 12 months, don't give her a pillow, and don't use quilts, comforters, or baby nests because they also prevent loss of heat. Sleep And Your Older BabyAs your baby grows, her sleep pattern will gradually change, she'll begin to stay awake and alert for longer periods during the day, even after feedings. When she's being stimulated with play and talk from you, she'll start needing longer periods of sleep to recharge her energy levels. The trick is to persuade her that these longer sleep periods should be at night, to align with your own.

Establishing A Bed Time RoutineYour baby may well get upset at bed time she could be anxious about being separated from you or she may simply want to continue playing, so establishing a bed time routine is essential to build her confidence and to help her learn that there is a time when play time has to stop. Set up your own routine at a time to suit all of you for example, if you're working, you may want it to be a little later-but try not to vary the routine, whatever time you do it. A suggested routine might be as follows:-

*Give her the final meal of the day preferably not her main meal.
*Give her a bath with out too much romping, and change her in to her night clothes.
*Spend quiet time in your baby's room, sing gentle songs, or read a story (depending on her age and stage of development).
*Give her the last breast feeding (unless your baby still wakes at night).
*Lay her in her crib, with any security object she has become attached to, turn the dimmer switch down low, then sit quietly with her for a minute or two.
* Go out of the room quietly, saying good night and leave the door open.Day Time Naps For Your Older BabyAs babies grow older, they sleep less and less, but up to 12 months your baby may still nap in the day time. Up to the age of three, many toddlers still rest during the day:-
*To help your baby relax and doze off, put her in her favorite place, which may not be her room. Make sure she has any special comforter or security object with her. Play calming music, let her have toys and books, and keep her with in earshot so she can hear you moving around. If she calls out to you, it's probably only for reassurance, so calmly call back.
*If she doesn't want to sleep, that's okay; just make it a quiet time when she can sit in her crib and play. But never let her cry for longer than a few minutes with out going to her. If she's unhappy, that defeats the purpose of the nap.
*If your baby falls asleep in the car, or her carriage, never wake her suddenly. Like you, she'll need time to adjust. Never leave her asleep alone in the car or in her carriage outside a store.

How to Name Your Baby

2008-02-27T12:21:00.002+08:00

Choosing a name for your precious little newborn baby can be quite a task. Some people have known what they have wanted their baby's name to be since they were children themselves, but then there are the people who are undecided up to the day baby is born. Talk about stress! As you browse through website after website of baby names, it can do one of two things for you. Either it can introduce a name you haven't thought of OR it can just cause utter confusion and make the task even harder.

Here are some steps of how to name your baby:-

Step 1:Choose a time to sit down and discuss names. This can be a one-time date or a reoccurring time until a name is chosen. However, try to pick a time that isn’t stressful and a time in which you are both well rested and able to think.

Step 2:Agree upon some name rules. Try to consider all possible variables: a family name, a modern name, a Biblical name and the number of syllables, certain initials you'd like to avoid, etc.

Step 3:Write a list of ten of your favorite names. It would be best to do this individually rather than as a couple.

Step 4:Discuss the names left on each list.

Step 5:Determine what to name your baby. Decide if you would like to take one name from each parent’s list to create a first name and middle name. If there was an identical name on each list, determine if this will be your baby's name.

Step 6:Write the chosen name on the birth certificate after your baby is born.

Tips For Choosing Baby Names

2008-02-26T11:09:00.003+08:00

Choosing your baby's name can be a very emotional experience. Sometimes it's easy. Usually, it's not. There's so much to consider, but the most important thing to remember is to love the name. Here are five tips to help you make the right decision: -

Don't rush!
Talk about it;
Say it out loud;
Spell it out; and
Make it meaningful.

How do people choose baby names?

2008-02-26T10:53:00.002+08:00

There's so much to think about when choosing the right name for your baby;

your own ideas;
your partner's thoughts;
family tradition;
names you've already given to baby's brother or sister...

- the list goes on and on. It's easy to get into a muddle, and then the stress sets in.

Think about meanings!

This is another crucial part of your journey. Your final choice will almost certainly have its own associations. Better to know now... than later.

Making a choice is always very difficult especially when you have to choose a name for the newborn ----a name that is special and unique. To be unique can often be misconstrued for idiosyncratic behavior. This then makes us redouble our efforts to strike a balance between uniqueness and eccentricity. You do not want a common name, you want to make the child feel extra special but at the same time you do not want the child to encounter problems because of the name that you have conferred on him. That is why selecting a unique name is difficult.

Identifying Common Childhood Infections

2008-02-22T08:48:00.000+08:00

All children are susceptible to commen illness. A child's immune system is less well developed than an adult's. Coughs, colds, fever, diarrhoea and allergiesare quite usual.If you pay attention to your child's nutrition, you can help him stay healthy.

Cold - A blocked nose ar runny nose, sneezing, a sore throat and ear ache are symptoms of a cold. There's no cure but you can ease your child's discomfort. Lots of fluids and ice creams will help a sore throat. keep the room wll ventilated.

Fever - A fever is a body temperature over 38C. Have a good thermometer available to measure temperature accurately. A fever is ussually the sign of a mild viral infection. See your doctor to find out the exact cause, rather than self-diagnose. In the meantime, keep the room temperature down.

Diarrhoea - Tummy trouble or diarrhoea could be caused by a viral infection or bad food. Your child could also run a fever with this. Give your child lots of fluids and take him to see the doctor.

Ear-ache - Ear pain without other cold symptoms may be caused by inflammation. Take him to see the doctor - if it's after office hours, wrap a hot water bottle in a towel for your child to hold against his ear. Prop him up against a pillow; he shouldn't lie flat.

Itcthy Skin - Eczema is a common complaint easy ti identify, even on babies because the skin is itchy and looks angry. If your baby is scratching, put gloves on him. Should the condition persist, see a doctor.

Boosting Immunity

You can take several step to boost your child's immune system and most concern the diet. Make sure your child's diet includes sources of vitamins A, C and E as well as iron and calcium. Vitamins help keep your child healthy and strong by reinforcing vulnerable internal organs and fighting infection.

Fruits and vegetables are the source of most essential vitamins and minerals. They also contain fibre, which aid digestion. Some growing-up milks come enhanced with prebiotics and probiotics. Prebiotics are fibre while probiotics are healthy live bacteria such as L.reuteri, proven good for warding off fever and diarrhoea.

For calcium, drink milk and eat cheese. Other important minerals include selenium which can increase the efficiency of white blood cells an important component of the immune system.

One person in ten has eczema at some time in their life and it affects all age groups. Modern homes can worsen already sensitive skin.

Kitchen - Cleaning solutions can irritate skin and eyes. Bleach is the harshest of all - replace with natural products or vinegar or baking soda dilluted with water. Open windows and wear PVC gloves when cleaning. Washing powder and fabric conditioner leave residues in clothes; buy non-bio, avoid fabric conditioner and use a double-rinse cycle.

Living Room - Vaccum soft furnishings regularly: dust mites gather in the seams. Mites are a major home allergen for many eczema sufferers; they feed on dead skin cells and their droppings trigger eczema by breaking down the skin's barrier. Leather type covering are best. Dust furniture and TVs with a damp cloth. Vaccum and wash curtains which hold dust; replace with roller blinds if possible. Carpets harbour mites and mould spores, which can induce allergies. Invest in a high-suction vaccum cleaner with an HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter or replace carpets with tiles, laminate, vinyl or wood flooring.

Children's Room - Wash favourite soft toys weekly at 60 degrees C or put them in the freezer for three to four hours then wash at a lower temperature. Don't keep them on the bed.

Bedroom - Keep ventilated and turn the temperature down - mites thrive at 18 to 24 degrees C. Use an anti-allergy mattress cover. Vaccum the mattress and mattress cover. Vaccum the mattress and wash bedding weekly at 60 degrees C. Use cotton sheets and covers but synthetic pillow fillings.

Bathroom - Avoid soap and bubble bath which break down the skin's barrier. Use emollient wash or oil instead. Baby wipes can trigger childhood eczema: use cotton wool or tissue with emollient cream/lotion. Keep well ventilated and dry towels outside to keep humidity levels down.

Pets - Avoid furry pets as dender aggravates eczema and dust mites breed in fur. In any case, keep pets out of bedrooms, give them their own beds and wash the bedding regularly.
