Mother’s Day is being celebrated right now and while this post may come a bit too late, there is still time for those who are still celebrating it as we speak. Celebrating Mother’s Day doesn’t have to be expensive. In fact, if you think about it, it could be in different forms.
This could be doing the chores on behalf of your mom like cleaning or maybe even some laundry. But if you want a no-brainer of a gift to give, why not just allow your mom to simply get a good night’s sleep even f
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
The Baby Sleep Site has launched a new toddler sleep book called “The Tired Parent’s 5-Step System to Better Toddler Sleep,”. The book was written by Nicole Johnson and is the newest addition to the site’s collection of sleep books for babies, toddlers and of course parents.
The Baby Sleep Book comes with features that include:
A mom who gave her son too much sleeping pills (Lunesta) is now facing manslaughter charges. Bernabe Odze was accused of giving her 4 year old son, Nicholas Odze too much Lunesta sleeping pills as discovered by the Broward Medical Examiners Office.
Toxicology tests conducted as part of the boy’s autopsy also found that shortly before his death he had ingested ibuprofen and the prescription pain substances oxycodone and oxymorphone. Authorities worked closely with Sepractor, the manufacturer of
A rare sleep disorder has led a mom to crave for sex after Donna Glover encounters a Kleine-Levin Syndrome (KLS) attach which causes her to fall asleep for as much as 20 hours. Glover experiences hypersexuality and sever food cravings afterwards which at times leads to her having random sex with men she comes across in the supermarket.
The US-based Kleine-Levin Syndrome Foundation website says the condition normally strikes during adolescence and almost exclusively affects men. It affects one in
Are you against co-sleeping? Well if you are and you happen to be in Milwaukee, join their scheduled campaign against co-sleeping. This is a call for parents to avoid sleeping with their babies who may end up suffocating to death as the case was for this 6-week old baby girl who died while sharing the bed with her mother. The mom found her baby dead when she woke up.
This is perhaps any parent’s fear or worst nightmare. At such young stages, babies should indeed be left to their own bed or crib wit
For anyone, sleep is important. With emphasis on the pregnant women and expectant parents, it would be advisable to get all the sleep you can get. Aside from potent health issues, lack of sleep may lead to small birth sizes, something that a study recently showed.
The study, which included 289 8-year-olds born healthy and full-term, found that the lower the children’s weight and length at birth, the greater their odds of having poor sleep or sleep disturbances such as sleep-related breathing problems or nightmares. What’s more, a mother’s prenatal drinking is a habit t
Following a regular bedtime routine and sleeping pattern can help a lot in the sleeping behavior of infants and maternal mood.
Results indicate that the establishment of a nightly bedtime routine produced significant reductions in problematic sleep behaviors for infants and toddlers. Improvements were seen in latency and sleep onset and in the number and duration of night wakings. Toddlers were less likely to call out to their parents or get out of their crib/bed during the night. Sleep c
Mommy Needs Sleep Door Pillow
At times, a mother will perhaps want some time out but a husband and especially the kids may not even notice when she would want it. While a mom makes it a point to do all the chores even if she is exhausted, it may come to a point that she will want to sleep without any distractions.
It is in these cases that this door pillow may come in handy. The “Mommy Needs Sleep” door pillow stresses a point without needing
After laboring for 10 months, once mothers give birth, you have to wonder if they can now start looking forward to making up for lost sleep. Apparently this is a problem for pregnant women who need to ensure the overall health of the child they are bearing and of course themselves. Alertness and being aware of what is going on inside these 10 months is indeed tedious. Some would call it a sacrifice for the sake of bringing joy and life to the world once more.
So when the child is out, c
