Fractures
A fracture, or broken bone, can often occur in children, usually after a fall or
an injury while playing sports. It can be difficult to tell if a bone is broken,
but some signs to look for include swelling, pain, decreased movement of the
area, or an unwillingness to use the area. Injuries with these characteristics
should be evaluated by your physician. You should also go to the doctor if your
child has hurt his ankle or knee and is unable to bear weight. To decrease pain,
you can use a sling or sprint or wrap the area in ice before going to the
doctor.

Babywearing - One Mom's Experience With Being Hands Free and Heart Full
by: Heather Ledeboer
When I became a mom, something magical happened. An inner strength and desire
to protect, love and nurture rose up within me. Desires, dreams and fears
awakened in my heart that once lay dormant. I felt fit for the task and
excited for the adventure of motherhood that stretched out ahead me. When my
relatives went home and my husband returned to work I believe I handled the
change exceptionally well. That is until our fridge containing a few leftovers
and several bottles of breast milk finally forced us to venture out of the
house to the grocery store. Until this point, I really felt that I was pulling
off my new mommy role quite well. However, I had no idea that my little 5
pound 10 oz hunk of love could require so much extra effort for something as
simple as a run to the store. Between loading and unloading the car seat,
diaper bag, stroller, and to-do list I felt as though I may as well have been
charting territory in a foreign land. After I returned home from that first
adventure, I boldly decided that running errands alone with my baby was just
too much work. The thought of pulling my Cadillac stroller and heavy car seat
in and out of my car for another excursion was simply more than I could bear.
Later that week, a lady at church breezed past my son and I, holding her new
baby in a sling. Both she and her baby looked happy, content and close. In
that moment, I knew I had to have one. I had just discovered my ticket to
freedom.

Mobiles For Babies Can Prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
Mobiles are well known for its effectiveness in capturing
and keeping baby's attention. Colorful and moving mobiles will stimulate the
baby's brain and encourages him to explore the things around him. Mobiles with
lullaby tunes are even better. With mobiles, you can stop worrying about an
uncooperative baby when changing diapers or a wailing baby before he goes to
sleep.

High Chair Hygiene
Meal times are a time of learning and exploration for babies and toddlers.
Not only are they exposed to a variety of new textures, but to tastes and smells
as well. While your baby is still eating purees from the spoon, fewer messes are
to be expected; once he or she graduates to finger or table foods, however, all
bets are off.
