Cute Babies

Too regular and watered-down bowel movements are known as Diarrhea. Generally they are caused by germs, sensitivity, a bacterial infection or side effects of medication. The hazardous thing is that diarrhea can cause dehydration. Normally, infants have 12 small bowel movements a day, which gradually reduce to once a day once they are 3 months. Diarrhea can be when the frequency of bowel movements increases suddenly along with the water content. When your baby suffers from diarrhea make sure to give them as much feed as they like. To restore the essential fluids in the baby consult your doctor for giving the baby an oral rehydration solution.

Inform the doctor about the baby’s motion frequency, the difference from the usual and other details. If the baby has fever along with diarrhea or if he/she is passing blood in her stools visit the doctor immediately. Even if you observe dehydration symptoms like dry eyes, mouth, lethargy, etc. For older babies and young children who consume solid foods, parents should give them a lot of fluids and very little food so that fiber and fat are bulked up and the frequency of stool is reduced. Therefore, loss of water with the stools is decreased and the risk of dehydration is gradually reduced too.

Yogurt contains bacteria which are good for digestion, so you can give yogurt to your baby. Also, oatmeal in a little milk helps to control diarrhea. If your baby suffers from vomiting, give him clear fluids with salt or sugar, like juice (diluted). Avoid giving newborns any kind of anti-diarrhea medicines as they may not suit the baby and increase the infection. They may also have a lot of side effects.

Diarrhea is common among babies and there is nothing to worry about it. If it’s an extreme case it is important for every parent to consult their doctor.

In a village, a shepherd had hundreds of goats. Daily he used to take it to the field under a mountain. There he leaves his goats to graze and he takes rest under a huge tree till afternoon. After his lunch he sleeps for an hour and then at evening he returns to his house with the goats.

One day at evening, the climate was very pleasant and it started to drizzle. The shepherd thought surely the black clouds will bring heavy rain. So, he gathered his goats and started to move towards the house. While he stepped ten feet from the hill he heard a murmuring sound. He followed the sound and stood before a huge rock. Behind the rock a small wolf was lying down with shivering. He took pity on it and decided to take care of it. He carried it on his shoulder to his house.

He gave goat’s milk to it. It drank and felt comfort in the shepherd’s house. For few months the shepherd provided goat’s milk and cow’s milk to the wolf. It grew very fatty and healthy. Now the shepherd gave training to the wolf to safeguard and how to protect the goat. All over the night the wolf watched and truly served for the shepherd.

On seeing the wolf’s responsibility the shepherd felt very happy. He believed the wolf and slept inside his house peacefully.

Days rolled on. The shepherd realized that some goats were missing. One mid-night he went to his herd. He saw that the goats were sleeping but the wolf was not there. So, he searched the wolf nearby. Suddenly, he heard a goat’s bleat from the bush. Immediately, he rushed to the bush and there he saw that the wolf had killed the goat and started to feed on it. The shepherd got very angry and started to beat the wolf with a wood stick behind the bush. With pain the wolf died.

The following morning he said to the neighbour’s and street passers about the wolf’s deed, “whatever creature it might be, surely one day or the other it will show its nature’s attribute.  The wolf taught a lesson for me. It is impossible to change its nature’s attribute.”

These steps are more than enough to keep the baby clean and hygienic.

Massaging is one of the vital elements in the growing up stage of babies. According to one study, regular massage often results in babies gaining more weight. It also affects positively in terms of alertness and high activity. Regular massage helps babies in mature neurological development compared to babies that are not massaged. Massaging refers to sense of touch and surprisingly this sense is felt by human embryos that are just eight weeks old. The sensitive skin does it for the foetus. So why massaging is important for babies?

The single most important fact comes out in the open when we imagine the situation of a baby who has just come out of the comfort of mother’s womb. The world will seem a strange place and everything will appear unfamiliar. Even as adult we find it difficult to adjust to new surroundings so thinking from a baby’s point of view, it must be quite difficult. Massage in the initial phase must be feeling like a strange experience. But slowly, a baby gets used to it and consequently it helps her in understanding and practicing input and she responds it with relaxed demeanour. A massage is often accompanied by soothing voice and comfortable physical contact so that makes it an overall pleasurable experience for the baby.

Human bonding is enhanced by sense of touch. Similarly, a bond between mother and child is strengthened by touch. Massaging acts as most basic method of bonding between the parents and baby. Massaging acts as a powerful tool and parents must ensure regular massage for their babies.

Parenting is no easy task. It involves several sleepless nights, constant feeding and inherent factors like hormonal changes. Mothers must be prepared for months of hard work and inconsistent sleep cycle. It’s a hard job, no doubt but it is also fulfilling. Mothers can only sleep when baby is asleep and sleeping cycle of babies is never consistent. They can keep you awake whole night because of food requirement. As baby grows older, he/she will start sleeping for longer duration.

Mothers must be prepared to feed baby as and when he requires. Babies must be fed as much as possible before bed hour. Some mothers prefer to give babies formula feed and vitamin supplements. Because of that, she will sleep longer. Mothers can also inculcate habit in babies of feeding time. Quite often parents try to keep babies awake during day time so that she will sleep at night. This is not advisable considering babies need lot of sleep. Don’t interfere with her sleep cycle and let her sleep as long as she wants. However, parents can try to keep lights off during night so that babies can learn that night is for sleeping.

The skin of baby is very sensitive. That makes it quite imperative for parents, especially mother to understand the skin of the babies. We should also know why some babies are born with acne. Quite often, new born babies also develop severe acne in the first few weeks of the birth. The reason is, hormonal changes taking place in mothers during pregnancy. Apart from hormones, iron and calcium also get passed to the babies and a combination of these elements can cause acne in babies.

Quite a number of parents complain and worry about acne. But the fact is these acne disappear after few months. Once the hormone factor gets stabilised, the skin tends to settle down and it again becomes totally smooth and blemish free. Just make sure, mothers are not using harsh soap on skin for removing rashes. That will further deteriorate the skin.   There are several forms of acne that might trouble your cute baby.

One of the common forms of skin irritation is diaper rash. It takes place in the diaper area and often cause attributed to stool and urine. Another possibility of this irritation could be allergy to diaper. If your baby develops diaper rash, mother should keep the area clean and dry. If the area is exposed to air that would also work in his favour. Apply soothing cream to the place and always wash the area with warm water.

When the baby develops crusty patches on the scalp, it is known as cradle cap. Mostly, oil producing glands on the scalp cause this problem. The solution is to use baby shampoo on a regular basis. Keep the area clean and it won’t take much before the cradle cap is gone. Heat rush is another form of irritant that babies are susceptible to. To avoid this condition try to keep baby in airy surroundings and place must be well ventilated. Make sure to use sunscreen on his skin for further protection.

My birthday party was so much fun

It was in the garden, with gifts for everyone

We had some games, So I set down the rules

We also had to tail the mule

Sammy could not come, so I sent her some cake

While others enjoyed the creamy milkshake

I helped my mom, It took me an hour

Fresh I was again after the shower

Sweet dreams at night, thinking about the chocolate

This is my party I will never forget!
