A new Danish study has revealed that kids who co-sleep with their parents are likely to reduce the risk of dealing with obesity. The unofficial reason given behind this is that kids who co-sleep with their parents are likely to feel a greater sense of emotional support compared to the ones who sleep on their own which are categorized as rejected.
The findings are indeed informative but it makes you think, how does this fit in with the whole SIDS issue? Apparently, a non-
Having a nightlight by your nursery should be a good idea so that parents can easily check on their babies in the wee hours and when all the lights are turned off. But if you want to be a little bit eco-friendly about it, the Modern Treetop Baby’s wooden bird house night lights should be a good enhancer, safe and non-toxic to have to keep your baby in sight.
The Modern Treetop Baby’s wooden bird house night lights are made from handcrafted and natural Japanese Kiri wood. They are ha
One task tied up with parenting is on how to properly take care of babies, especially the ones that end up crying at night or in the wee hours due to one reason or another. And normally when you think about it, a child’s cry at night may somewhat serve as a measuring stick of sorts on how good a parent takes care of their child, regardless if it is funny or not.
Apparently the Why Cry Baby Analyzer is a colourful device which should somehow tell you how well you take care of your child and att
We have seen a lot of gadgets used here and there to help monitor babies but if you have an Apple device like perhaps an iPhone or an iPad, here is something that should come in handy. This comes in the form of the Withings Smart Baby Monitor.
The monitor includes a camera and sensors that detect sound, movement, temperature and humidity levels. The monitor’s hinged design allows its wide-angle 3-megapixel camera to be tilted or swiveled into place when being set up. That camera automatically switche
Normally, parents would have to place babies in the proper positions for body or head shaping purposes, or simply to make sure that infants get the ideal position that suits them most when it comes to sleeping. And all that may be satisfied by the Jolly Jumper Deluxe Sleep Rite Infant Sleep Positioner, something that costs around $18 over at Amazon.com.
However, while this sleep positioned does seem comfortable thanks to the fabrics and foam construction that make it up, it would be a
At the rate that the weather changes these days, there is no denying that the need for a reliable blanket will be a critical need. And to add some new features to the common blankets would certainly be neat, something that the Intelligent Blanket brings as designed by Helena Loermans.
Ideal for places with extreme cold climates, these blankets are hand-woven and avoid heat accumulation by directing moisture outwards while also providing the necessary warmth during cold weather. Babies are bound
Babies need proper sleep but pollution, both air and noise, may hinder a child’s well-deserved sleep at times. However, thanks to designer Elodie Delassus, the Cocoon Baby Pillow may be a big help towards addressing such concerns, one that should help keep out the loud noises and maintain the proper breathable air for babies at any time.
The Cocoon Baby Pillow features an advanced state-of-the-art technology to go with a HEPA air filtration system. It also has an air particle ioniser which should b
One would think that with the growing problem of co-sleeping with infants, adults and parents would be more careful and take it more sensibly. But with new reports of co-sleeping casualties for November, this doesn’t seem to be the case.
There were two separate incidents reported. One had to do with Yasmine Y. Ashley, a 1.5 month infant who turned unresponsive after sleeping alongside her mother and the mom’s said boyfriend. According to the Medical Examiner’s
For the constant travelers, comfort is normally compromised on the type of transportation solution you use (land or air). For trains, cabins are known to offer cramped spaces, not ideally giving you the legroom and area to which you can easily stretch or lay down according to your liking.
However, this new cabin design from Keith Tembo looks interesting. The design was made for Scotrail’s Caledonian Sleeper train in an attempt to provide passengers more space and reducing clutter as well. The space
Today we find another issue that is related to infant deaths when they are left to sleep. Crib Bumper guards may be a great way to ensure safety from bumps for babies but they do have another aspect that may be dangerous as well. And this is of course with relation to potential suffocation if parents are not attentive to such hazards. The American Academy of Pediatricians have bared a stern warning on the use of such bumper guards, calling and possibly advising parents not to use them. Guidelines have been set for
