Make Time Stand Still
Time stands still the moment your baby enters this world, and you’ll want to remember the moment for years to come. A newborn time capsule is a great way to commemorate your baby’s birth and share with them a snapshot of that special time when they are all grown up. To create your time capsule, you need to gather several things that reflect the events of the day.
Newspapers make a great addition to any time capsule. Local papers tell the story of what was happening in your community on the day they were born, while national papers provide a glimpse of then-current events. Both offer the opportunity for you to stroll down memory lane, as well as give your child a brief history lesson when the capsule is finally opened.

Breast Or Bottle – Which Is Right For You?
There are lots of decisions to make when there’s a baby on the way. One of the most controversial is the ever raging “breast or bottle” debate. There are
many people who have strong feelings on both sides of this issue, and many of them will try like a televangelist to get you on their side. I’m not going to
do that. I’m going to give you the facts, and share some personal insight on the subject, which hopefully will leave you feeling good, whatever your choice.
Scientifically, breast milk is best. There are nutrients in breast milk that help your child’s brain develop, and try as they might, formula makers cannot
replicate these nutrients. Breastfeeding protects your child from illnesses because, as long as he or she is nursing, they are protected by your immune
system, which is much more developed than theirs. read more...
Coping with Colic. Usually within the first weeks of your baby's birth it may be obvious that the child is suffering from colic. The good news is that most children will outgrow this and often times they are able to develop very positive, healthy lifestyles. Still, for any parent going through colic, there is no doubt that coping with it can be very trying. Know that you are not alone. People have dealt with this condition for a long time, and likely will continue to do so. read more...
Baby Pacifiers Yes Or No? Baby pacifiers go to the child at the hospital, often times even before you have seen your baby after delivery. The pacifier looks innocent enough, but is it. What is important to keep in mind with these is that you need to use the right type to protect the development of their teeth. Moreover, you do not have to use a pacifier. Initially they are used to help teach the child how to suck, so that when they breastfeed or when they drink from a bottle, they have developed a strong suck to suck in their food. read more...
