Getting Ready For Baby Bath Time

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

Sometimes people think the only hard part of raising children comes when they are teens. That is, until they have one of their own. Then you understand that babies are helpless without you. Having a little one dependent on you is a huge responsibility.

For the new parent, it is all extremely overwhelming. In addition to asking advice from family members, there are also a multitude of books written on the subject. But books can rarely really prepare you for real life. And the author is not there in your living room to answer your questions.

If you are not used to babies, you may be very nervous about handling them. New fathers, especially, often worry about hurting them. And sometimes they do, though often from not holding them firmly enough, rather than being too rough.

Infant safety cannot be taken lightly and bath time is an especially important time to pay attention. Babies get baths daily and sometimes more than once. On occasions when the diaper is really messy, it is easier to just bathe the baby than to use a lot of wipes. You need to be sure you have what you need to bathe your baby in comfort and safety.

The first thing you will want to do is research baby bath tubs. You could bath your baby in a sink, but they will be much more comfortable in a bath tub that is made especially for them. These will normally be some type of plastic which is far more comfortable than a metal or porcelain sink. And either is safer than the normal bath tub which is much too large.

A unique baby tub on the market is one called Spa Baby. This one is designed so that the baby can sit up in it, rather than lying down. Not only will this keep him more submerged in the water and therefore warmer, it also makes him feel more secure. Part of this is the ability to sit up and part is the fact that it is so similar to the environment before birth.

Of course, you still need to be very careful when bathing your baby. You never want to leave a baby or small child in any type of bath unattended. But if you just prepare properly, bath time can be fun and without stress for all concerned.

Triplets: A Mother’s Love Shared Equally

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

So the ultra sound confirmed that you are having triplets. Oh my goodness what a blessing some will say, and what an awful thing to become a first time Mother having to cope with three of the same. Whichever way you look at it, children are blessings and can only enrich ones life. You cannot raise so many children without today’s gadgets to help you along. Take for instance the philips baby monitor. You cannot leave your children unattended especially when they are first born.

In the past, parents did not have any fancy gadgets to help raise their children. No I had to cope with what I had at that time, which was not a lot I might add. If I see the LCD thermometers one can get or the amazing feeding bottles and of course disposable nappies I think to myself, you lucky mothers!

But I would not want to give up a monitor. No I think by far it is a wonderful tool to assist us today in raising our children the best we can. I can save a child’s life and what can be better than having such a device in our homes.

After two years of keeping up with the triplets, you need a long vacation. They are happy staying with their grandparents and you and your spouse can take that long awaited second honeymoon. Yes this will be so great. You have booked the plane tickets and can’t wait to get to that gorgeous Island in the sun.

Your spouse asks you to take a walk with him one day and you land up in a jewelry store. He says that it’s time to show you how much he cares and loves you. He is appreciative of everything you do around the house and especially raising his three beautiful but very active boys. He has chosen an eternity ring and wants you to try it on, and it fits perfectly.

Little did you know that he had researched on how to show a woman that your love will last forever. And on that same night he told me how he appreciated me and how he admires me when he sees how I raise his children. He says that his love will last for an eternity and that is why he chose this ring.

It was a wonderful holiday and you both feel rejuvenated and have a new zest for life. The triplets are waiting eagerly to see Mom and Dad and you just rush back into their arms. It’s time to phone your tutor and book those parenting classes you have put off for so long. Now you and partner can calmly and purposefully attend classes to learn about the new and tested techniques around raising your children in this past past 21st century.
