Understanding Sleep

Sleep is a major part of our lives. However, researchers and doctors understand little about sleep and what it does for us. What we do know is that sleep has many health benefits and getting a good night’s sleep is the key to feeling energized every day. Understanding sleep can help you improve your health and may even extend your life.

Sleep Habits
Sleep habits are the key to getting a good night’s sleep. We can either train ourselves to fall asleep quickly every night, or we can train ourselves to lie awake in bed through bad habits. Exercise, caffeine, stress and other factors can influence the quantity and quality of our sleep. Changing your sleep habits can lead to greatly improve sleep quality and quantity.

Sleep Needs
Each individual’s sleep need varies. For the majority of adults, the daily sleep need is between 7 and 9 hours. Some people need even more than 9 hours and others need less than 7, but this is rare. If you are awake and alert during the day and feel satisfied with your sleep, then you are getting enough sleep.

Sleep and Aging
There is a myth that people need less sleep as they age. This is simply not true: Older adults need 7 to 9 hours of sleep every night. However, good sleep is harder to get as we age because of health conditions, medications and other reasons. Protecting your sleep as you age will give you more energy and better health.

Sleep Myths
Other sleep myths include misunderstandings about the benefit of sleeping in to “catch up” on sleep, sleep in children, the benefits of napping and more. Clearing up these sleep myths will help you to make better decisions about your daily sleep habits.

Sleep Benefits
While we know that sleep makes us feel refreshed, there are many health and other benefits to a good night’s sleep. These include improving heart health, improving your memory and maybe even preventing cancer. Other benefits include improving your skin and helping you concentrate.

The Importance of Lullabies

Since response to sound is one of the most highly developed abilities in the newborn infant, children need to be musically nurtured from birth. Staincliffe Maternity Hospital in England soothes new infants by playing recorded music of such composers as Brahms, Handel, and Mozart. The effect on the infants works wonders, hospital attendants say. In some hospitals, a program of lullaby music is piped into rooms where mothers are feeding their babies.

Lullabies from the greatest composers and spontaneous melodies sung and hummed by loving caregivers have brought comfort and sleep to countless babies. For generations, people throughout the world have sung lullabies to their babies as they cuddled them in their arms and gently rocked them to sleep. Modern research is only beginning to discover the full importance of lullabies. Hearing soft, rhythmic songs brings a sense of calmness and security to the sensitive infant. Besides soothing an infant, rocking and singing help the infant become accustomed to the “feelings” of sound motion. Without this type of gentle introduction to music, many infants will continue to react with a startle to sudden movement and loud sounds and noises.

Another benefit of singing lullabies is the communication that occurs between the caregiver and the baby. An infant often seems to respond directly to the singer by cooing and babbling, thus encouraging the development of speech and singing.

In today’s technological world, people are accustomed to hearing music produced by top professionals. It’s understandable that when comparing themselves to the professional, some people feel inadequate in making music on their own. It is not unusual for parents and teachers to become unduly concerned about the quality of their singing voices. Some will not attempt to sing to or with children. Dr. John Lind, professor emeritus at Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, discovered that children who have parents with rather poor singing voices still grow up to love to sing and are able to sing on key (Fletcher, 1981, p. 26). It is more important that parents sing to their babies than that they sing well. Authorities like Lind and Hardgrove (1978) remind us, “It is not the quality of the voice that matters, it is the connection....It is not the on-key, smooth mechanical perfection that brings joy to infants as well as adults. The joy comes in the rendition, and the example of this intimate parent-to-infant message encourages the child to sing

Although singing lullabies comes naturally to many people, some may need a few tips on sharing them with infants. Infants’ interest in a world of sound can be enhanced in different ways and through different qualities of tones and pitches, rhythmical movement, and songs.

Suggestions for Singing Lullabies to Infants

1.Build a repertoire of favorites lullabies. If possible, memorize them. This is important, as many of today's young parents have no memories of being lullabied and are not familiar with the most beautiful lullabies from around the world. There are excellent lullaby books on the market. There is also a wide variety of good lullaby compact discs (CDs) and cassette tapes available. Note: Tapes and CDs should be used only as accompaniment or as an aid when learning new songs. The parent's or teacher's voice should always be present.

2.Some infants prefer one lullaby over another; however, don't limit your singing to only music labeled lullabies. Try singing contemporary songs and show tunes. Infants enjoy variety and change of pace.

3.As you securely hold and gently rock an infant, smile warmly and look directly into the infant's face and eyes. This kind of "bonding" brings contentment and security to the infant.

10 Things Every New Parent Should Know

1. You cannot spoil a child with love: So many new parents hear well-meaning people telling them that they are spoiling their baby by holding him and responding to his needs. But you cannot spoil a child with love. You can only spoil a child by giving the child stuff as a replacement for the time and attention that you are not able to give your child.

2. You should be responsive to your child's cries:Your baby does not need to exercise her lungs. She doesn't need to learn to self-soothe. What she needs are parents that understand that a baby's cry is her only way of communicating with you and she uses it to tell you that she needs something or that she needs you. It is important to respond to your baby's cries both to meet her most basic needs and to give her a sense of security that she will carry through life. Excessive crying can be harmful to babies. Another part of being responsive to your child is watching for cues (crying is the last cue - once the others have been missed!) to tell you when your baby is hungry and when she is tired. You don't need to implement a schedule for feeding and for sleep, you should watch your baby instead to determine when feeding and sleeping times should be.

3. Discipline means teach: New parents worry that they need to "discipline" their child. But often when they say discipline, they mean spanking or punishing. However, the word discipline means to teach. That is what parents need to do. They need to guide and teach their children. In the same way that we do not expect a first grader to learn calculus, it is important to understand what age appropriate behavior is and to shape your expectations of your child and your discipline (teaching) according to what a child can reasonably be expected to understand at any given age.

4. The World Health Organization recommends breastfeeding for 2 years or beyond: So many mothers think that they need to start weaning when their baby gets teeth. Or they need to wean when they introduce solid foods. Breastfeeding doesn't have to be all or nothing, it is possible to set limits or to partially wean, but still keep nursing in certain situations or at certain times of day.

5. Solid food is not recommended before at least 6 months: Over the years, the recommendation on when to introduce solid foods has changed. I was given pablum at 6 weeks. But today, experts recommend exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months, followed by slow introduction of solid foods. As explained in the link, this gives babies greater protection from illness and food allergies, it gives their digestive system time to mature, helps protect from obesity, and many other benefits.

6. Your doctor is not a parenting expert and usually not a breastfeeding expert: I hear of so many new parents that feel bad after they leave their doctors office. It isn't because their baby isn't healthy. It is because the doctor was giving them advice on parenting issues like how and where they baby sleeps, how they deal with night wakings, how they discipline their children, and so on. Even on issues that are medical issues, listen to your doctor but do your own research too and don't be afraid to get a second opinion.

7. You can sleep safely with your baby: There has been a lot of publicity about co-sleeping being dangerous.However, if you implement a few simple guidelines, then it can be safe to sleep with your baby and can even be safer than putting your baby in a crib in a separate room.

8. Obesity is going to be the biggest health problem facing our children's generation: They say fat is the new to***co, meaning it will have the greatest negative impact on the health of the next generation. We need to give our children a good head start by making the right choices about infant feeding to avoid obesity and then continue to feed our children healthy foods that are low in sugar and low in saturated fats.

9. Children need to connect with nature: When we were kids, we roamed the neighbourhood without our parents. We climbed trees, picked berries, played in the dirt, built forts, caught frogs, and had a great time. We learned about nature by being part of nature. Today, parents are scared to let their kids go out on their own, so that means they keep them inside. They watch TV, they play on the computer, they go to organized sports or other activities. But free outdoor play time is rarer and rarer. If parents don't want to let their kids roam unsupervised (I know I don't...not yet at least!), then they need to go with them and let their child take the lead. Let them play freely in nature. Let them touch nature. Let them get exercise and fresh air at the same time.

10. Keep your child rear-facing in the car for as long as possible: A lot of parents ask when they can turn their child around and then turn them around as soon as they have met the minimum guidelines for height, weight and age. However, you should keep your child rear-facing for as long as possible.

Diaper Rash: Prevention and Treatment

Allergic reactions, leaving a diaper on too long, and switching to solid foods can all cause your baby to get diaper rash.

To prevent diaper rash:

1.Change baby’s diaper more often than you normally do.

2.Let baby’s bottom air dry during a diaper change and leave the diaper off for a while, if you can.

3.Use unscented, mild soap and a warm washcloth to clean baby during a diaper change. Perfume and deodorant soaps can be harsh on baby’s skin.

4.If you use baby wipes, choose those that are free of perfume, alcohol, and chemicals.

5.When washing cloth diapers (and baby’s clothes), avoid using fabric softeners, antistatic products, or perfumed clothes soap. These can also cause rashes.

6.Avoid any foods that seem to worsen baby’s rash.

Diaper rash treatment:

1.Over-the-counter zinc oxide cream can soothe diaper rash.

2.For irritation and allergic reactions, a mild topical zinc oxide cream or petroleum jelly ointment may offer relief.

3.Diaper rash related to a bacterial infection -- usually caused by Staph or strep bacteria -- appears bright red and in some cases can blister. It requires medical attention. Your pediatrician may prescribe antibiotics.

4.For diaper rashes related to yeast infections, your baby’s doctor may recommend an over-the-counter topical antifungal cream.

Why do babies cry?

Your baby can't do anything for herself and relies on you to provide her with the food, warmth and comfort that she needs. Crying is your baby's way of communicating any or all of those needs and ensuring a response from you.

It's sometimes hard to work out what your baby is telling you. But in time you will learn to recognise what your baby needs. And as your baby grows she'll learn other ways of communicating with you. She'll get better at eye contact, making noises and smiling, all of which reduce her need to cry for attention.


I'm hungry

Hunger is one of the most common reasons that your newborn baby will cry. The younger your baby is, the more likely it is that she's hungry.

How to care for your baby's gums and emerging teeth

Do I need to clean my baby's gums before his teeth come in?
Yes. Even before your baby sports his first tooth, it's a good idea to get into the habit of wiping his gums with gauze or a soft wet washcloth during bath time. You don't need to use any toothpaste yet. Simply wrap the cloth or gauze around your index finger and rub it gently over his gums.

Bacteria in the mouth usually can't harm the gums before the teeth emerge, but it can be hard to tell when the teeth are starting to push through, so you'll want to start early. Getting your baby used to having his mouth cleaned as part of his daily routine should make it easier to transition into toothbrushing later on, too.

What's the best way to brush my baby's teeth after they start coming in?

As your child's teeth start to appear (generally around 6 months), look for a baby toothbrush with a small head and grip suitable for your hand. (If your child is healthy and still hasn't sprouted his first tooth by the end of his first year, don't worry – some children don't start getting teeth until 15 to 18 months.)
Use a tiny amount of fluoride toothpaste. A dot the size of a grain of rice (or a thin smear) is all you need. To avoid giving your child too much fluoride, be sure to follow this recommendation.
Twice a day, gently brush on the inside and outside of each of your baby's teeth, as well as his tongue (if he'll let you), to dislodge bacteria that can cause bad breath. No need to rinse, because you're using such a small amount of toothpaste.
Replace the toothbrush as soon as the bristles start to look worn or splayed.
For now your baby's teeth are probably far enough apart that you don't have to worry about flossing. In fact, there's no evidence that flossing baby teeth makes a difference. To be on the safe side, though, many dentists recommend starting to floss when tooth surfaces touch so that you can't clean them with a toothbrush.

When does my baby need fluoride?

Your baby's developing teeth can benefit from a little fluoride. This mineral helps prevent tooth decay by strengthening tooth enamel and making it more resistant to acids and harmful bacteria. Your baby can get fluoride from toothpaste and from water.
Note: In general, it's not a good idea to give your baby water until he's about 6 months old. Until then, he'll get all the hydration he needs from breast milk or formula, even in hot weather. If the water that you use to make your baby's formula contains fluoride, he'll get fluoride from his bottle feedings. Read more about giving water to your baby.
Keep in mind that while little fluoride is a good thing for your baby's teeth, too much of it can lead to a condition called fluorosis, which causes white spots to show up on your child's adult teeth. This is why it's important to use only the tiniest amount of toothpaste until your child is old enough to learn to rinse and spit it out.
Most municipal water supplies are fortified with adequate fluoride. (Call your local water authority to find out about yours). If yours isn't, or if you get your water from a well, you might consider buying a test kit from your local health department, a hardware store, or a pharmacy.
If the results show a fluoride content of less than .3 parts per million, ask your child's doctor or dentist whether you should give your child a fluoride supplement. (The amount recommended for children under 3 is .25 milligrams per day). The doctor can prescribe fluoride in the form of drops that you can add to your baby's bottle or cereal once a day. Experts don't' recommend fluoride supplements for babies under 6 months old.
Bottled water and fruit juices may contain fluoride, although the amount isn't always listed on the label.

Top ten must-have baby toys

1 Activity rings: Activity rings provide lots of fun. They shake and rattle, are great to chew on (so make sure all bits are securely attached) and are interesting to hold onto with both hands. They work many of your child’s senses – touch, sound, sight – and help develop hand-eye coordination. Because the rings are linked together like a chain it’s hard for bub to tell where they start and where they finish, which will get her cogs turning as she tries to work out how to hold them.

2 A ‘crinkle’ toy: Have you ever seen a lovely, soft baby toy, picked it up and been taken by surprise by the loud, scrunchy, crinkly sound it’s made? If you have, you’ve experienced a crinkle toy! Babies love to scrunch up toys or blankets with that crinkly noise inside. They work your littlie’s fingers differently to the way toys such as rings or rattles do, as she needs to scrunch her fingers into a ball to create the noise, while the noise itself aids in her sensory and cognitive development.

3 A teething ring: Teething rings not only give sore gums a little relief, they also help to develop your baby’s sensory perceptions as she learns to feel different temperatures and textures. Getting the ring to her mouth works valuable motor and cognitive skills as well. Many rings have lots of bells and whistles, but you’ll probably find that your baby will enjoy a simple, moulded rubber ring – that can be warmed or cooled – just as much.

4 A ball: Easy to hold and fun to throw, balls make a great toy. Not only can they be all the incentive your little one needs to move from sitting to crawling, they offer a number of other benefits, too: small balls work fingers and hands while bigger balls encourage the coordination of hands and arms.

5 A board book: Babies love to look through books. Choose ones with lots of photos and faces for her to gaze at. Make sure books you give bub are small and sturdy, with pages that are easy to turn. If your baby is read to regularly, it won’t be long before she is looking at the book the right way up, taking in what she can see on each page and turning the pages. Giving bub her own book to ‘read’ by herself will work on valuable preliteracy skills, help her develop her memory and other cognitive functions and, using her fingers and hands to get the pages turning, will also work to improve her fine motor skills.

6 Rattle: Bubs have a blast shaking and banging noisy rattles! Playing with a rattle is actually one of your little one’s first experiences with the idea of cause and effect – as she shakes the rattle she learns that she can do things that make other things happen, changing her environment. The sounds a rattle can make are fascinating to bub too. She might start to explore the fact that the noise changes as she shakes the rattle differently. This is a lovely thing for you to point out to her to encourage her curiosity. Grasping the rattle will also build fine motor skills and coordination, while the sounds of the rattle will build on her sensory perceptions.

7. A plastic or wood animal or car: Animals, cars and other toys that encourage imaginative play are great for the toy basket too, particularly when it comes to early language skills. Your munchkin will enjoy rolling a car on the ground making a “brmm, brmm” sound, for example, and will love to hear you make the sounds the animals make. Recalling the sounds the animals and cars make is also a great activity to boost your baby’s brain development.

8 A soft toy: Who doesn’t love a soft, furry friend to cuddle? Babies are drawn to friendly, cute faces – even when they’re attached to inanimate objects! Bubba will love to take a quiet moment while exploring her basket of toys to give a soft friend a hug and a chew. Taking the time for warm, gooey feelings helps develop emotional skills, such as empathy, as well as nurturing instincts. A soft toy is also great for working both of bub’s hands at once, developing her cognitive skills and benefiting her hand-eye coordination.

9 A push-button toy: Like rattles, push-button toys allow your baby to explore cause and effect. These sorts of toys really get bub’s finger muscles working, as they require her to point her finger and push it against something (great practice for babies around nine to 12 months in particular, who are often just learning this skill). As your sweetie becomes familiar with one particular push-button toy and learns which noises to expect, her brain is getting a workout, too.

10 Stacking cups: There are so many ways to use these – bub can stack the cups on top of one another, place them inside each other, pretend to ‘drink’ from them and put toys inside them. Each time bub does this she’s working her hand-eye coordination, building the muscles in her hands and is exploring concepts of size and fit. You can also use these bright cups as a chance to talk about colours.

Must Know Baby Care Advice

Outdated baby safety tip number 1: You will spoil your baby if you pick him up too much.

Someone may tell you to let your new baby cry it out, but it’s okay to give this piece of advice a pass. usually cry because they have a need — whether it’s a diaper change, a , or just a cuddle — and soothing your baby helps him feel secure and loved. The truth is, babies simply cannot be spoiled. In fact, the more consistent you are at meeting his needs before he’s 6 months old, the less demanding your baby will be later on in life. So the next time you hear your baby crying, feel free to shower him with love and attention.

Outdated baby tip number 2: Your baby needs complete quiet to sleep.

Common wisdom once held that babies need a hushed household in order to get the rest they need. Turns out that they are actually used to hearing background noise from their time spent in the womb. So go ahead and run the vacuum during if you like. The humming of the machine may help ease your to sleep, and you can get some cleaning done while she rests.

Outdated baby safety tip number 3: Your baby should be put on a strict feeding schedule.

It was once thought that babies should be fed every four hours after leaving the hospital. The belief was that feeding on demand — in other words, whenever a baby was hungry — would spoil a baby and even increase the risk of contracting an intestinal infection. Now, however, many doctors recommend against setting a feeding schedule and suggest following your baby’s lead when satisfying her hunger needs.
