Wrap or not Tube tide

How many kids are enough or how many should be allowed to have per family? Is it a moral decision or the social financial aspect to think about? Birth control is there for a reason to prevent unwanted pregnancy. There are tons of products out there to help or prevent an unwanted pregnancy. The information is out there; is up to us woman to search and get informed on these issue. However, many of us choose not to get protected and to have the child for then later set that baby in front of the steps of a church door or a police station. Where does our motherly love goes when we confront such need to give our child away? Is it the lack of moral support or finance that brings us to such decision? To me is just irresponsibility and lack of strength. The responsibility to be protect our self to be inform on how to have or don't have kids. The strength to keep up with the responsibility and confront any obstacle that stance in our way in order to survive and keep living. Lets be responsible and assume any and all duties.

Potty Potty Time!

Researchers say after their second birthday a mother should consider training the child. However, every child is different, and some don't understand nor comprehend such behavior. I have two boys, 5 and 3 years of age. I started my first child's potty training when he was 18 months old, he caught on to it the fist week. Now with my 3 year old, I tried the same thing when he turned 18 months. I introduced him to such behavior, unfortunately he didn't understand what I was trying to impliment. I have tried every method, after meals, before bed, right after he wakes up, and right before we'd go out, but there were never any results. he would
advise me that he'd have to use the bathroom, but he wouldn't take the initiative to go on his own. Fortunately, he communicates with what he likes and what we wants, but i guess independibility will come to him when it's time.

Mom. Opt for Breast Feeding!

Studies show that breastfed babies have significantly higher IQs by 8 years old than babies who didn't breastfeed, it is also one of the best things a mother can do at the begginnig of their child life(Many sources at Breastfeeding.com). However,  not all woman up for breastfeeding maybe do due to the physical apperience or lack of commiment. Whatever the reasons a woman may have for not feeding their child due to mental or phisycal damage; there are some very good benefits breastfeeding does in a woman and child. The bond between mother and child will developed at that stage, it is the start point to a great relationship between them. While the child is getting all the nutrients from the milk, mom is getting their weight reduce each and everyday she opts to feed her child. One of the biggest concerns a mother could opt in for breastfeeding is the risk reduction to breast cancer on mom and lower allergies on child. Breastfeeding is overall a choice every mother can opt in and enjoyed the experience. An unforgettable and healthy experience for every mother to celebrate their introduction to motherhood.

Teething!

My child was seven months off age when he start teething, to some mothers they may say it was too early, others too long. To every child the time for teething may come after their third month off birth, or it could even be sooner. There is not an exact time for every child, not all children are the same. Though they all go through the same baby stages; however at their owned pace and different point in their growth.
Teething is the process by which an infant's teeth sequentially appear by breaking through the gums. The typical time frame for new teeth to appear is somewhere between six and nine months. Though the process of teething is sometimes referred to as "cutting teeth", when teeth emerge through the gums they do not cut through.  Some of the symptoms that comes when teething is the irritating of the gums, the slavering, drivel all over themselves till their first bite with their first teeth. There is pain associated with teething that a baby can handle and that also will be different for each child. Some may be a lot fussier than others while they are teething. The soreness and  swelling of the gums before a tooth comes through is the cause for the pain and fussiness a baby experiences during this change. These symptoms usually begin about three to five days before the tooth shows, and they disappear as soon as the tooth breaks the skin. Some babies are not even bothered by teething. I have two boys; they both went through all their baby stages at a different point in their growth. Jaden, my five year old son, started the irritation of his gums at the age of five months old and his first tooth erupt when he was turning seven months old. Jaymen, my three year old son, started drivel when he was seven months of age and his tooth came out right before his was nine months old. For many kids their teeth would come on when they are ready to do so, many parents try to rush things or wonder what is wrong with their child. It all takes time, time and patience!
