sweet sleep…getting your children to sleep

Getting your baby to sleep after one long day is a nightmare.
Many parents go wrong by not emphasizing how important it is to have their little ones sleep. For example if your baby should be in bed by 8pm…then do so…put them to bed. Make sure they sleep immediately.

Should you change your babies sleep pattern to sleeping whenever is convenient…then your baby is likely to ape that habit and that will keep them awake.

Not meeting your babies bedtime, skipping nap times only leads to poor quality of sleep and one tired child and parent.

So if you are a new parent and want to introduce the habit of good sleep habits, remember you should practice consistency by making sure you put your baby to sleep when the are drowsy.
You could also teach your baby to sleep, by giving them a little stuffed animal or teddy that they can hold on to.
And if possible give your baby their own bed and room by the time they are 2 years of age.

Lastly, invest in baby decore, such as colorful material and make sure the room is warm and cosy, so that your baby can look around and feel a sense of security and most of all sleep.
By doing this… you are set to put a permanent solution to your sleepless nights!

Another bad habit is allowing your baby to fall asleep while nursing or bottle feeding.
This brings about the tendency of your baby waking up abruptly expecting to have another bottle of milk or nursing.

BRUSHING YOUR BABIES TEETH By Trony Valentine Ingati

Teaching your baby to brush their little teeth can be one difficult task. But as a parent you will always discover the best things and the shortest way to master the joys and pitfalls of parenthood. Either way it is good practice that your children learn good dental hygiene. For starters go shopping with them, for that particular tooth brush. Children get fascinated with color and you will be surprised at what good taste they might posses. Point out a tooth brush and let them look impressed by your selection.  Nonetheless, make sure that the bristles are soft and the neck of the tooth brush can stretch out to the back of their little teeth. Choose a colorful brush that excites them but has soft bristles as their teeth are sensitive and growing. If your child is a small little one, then sit your baby on your lap or have them stand up on a stool facing the sink. Guide them as they take their first steps to brushing their teeth. Encourage them by smiling and acting very excited. This...

Taking care of your teeth and gums

1.    Just the other day i sat in an old smelly matatu next to an individual with an over powering body odour . 2.   I could not   take   it and   every   passanger on board had their    nose   pointed   to the little   windows   trying to gasp for   to air like a drowing man. 3.   It dawned on me that good looks do not make one embrace personal hygine as a prioriety and just may be i would have taken the opportunity to tell him in a polite manner that he ought to uphold good oral hygine. 4.   If i came across him i would say Sir hello… kindly brush your teeth twice a day with quality toothpaste. I like the way you are dressed… so flossing in between the teeth should be manditory    because it will make me notice you more. Do you know the man with the white coat…he is called a dentist…perhaps you could visit him on a regular basis for check ups and cleaning Cut down on sugary foods and drinks ...
