Whether they are sleeping or not, looking over babies and children today need more than just being there. And in cases where the parents have to be somewhere and leave their toddlers in the hands of other people, the sense of parenthood comes in, always wanting to do what is best.
Hence, thanks to a couple from Lewisville, a new app called the iBabyVideo allows parents to see if their child is sleeping or awake. It can be set up with alerts as well to see if the baby is crying or moves.
There seems to be some issue regarding the anti-swadling advice being issued by newborn care experts. Lack of information and clinically proven tools may prove to be harmful to parents or worse, deadly if they are not careful.
Newborn care experts like Pamela Diamond have called the arms-free swaddling and anti-swaddling advice misleading and irresponsible at best, and potentially harmful or even deadly at worst.
The messages are patently false, lacking evidence, data and clinical st
Essentia announces the release of new patented natural memory foam mattresses called the La-La Natural Crib Mattresses, which should protect babies and kids from harmful chemicals, a healthy green alternative parents can use for cribs.
A typical crib mattress is filled with chemically derived foams, layered together with glue, treated to be water resistant and contain enough fire retardants able to withstand a 2 foot wide blowtorch open flame for 70 seconds, required by government regul
With vacation time practically over, the next thing that kids and their parents have to do right now is to get themselves used to sleeping early. Being used to sleeping late or with little sleep due to break time enjoyment, sleep stands as one of the needed aspects that need to address before schools officially start.
Parents should start the regiment about 3 weeks prior to the 1st day of school, and adjust bedtimes by about 15-20 minutes every 3 days.
Officials say the start of a
After eight reported infant deaths due to unsafe environment, the city of Milwaukee has decided to start a Safe Sleep Campaign through radio and television ads. The ads are reminders for the elders that proper attention and care should be done for their children. This includes telling parents that babies should sleep in their own crib or bed with no pillows. Apparently this has to do something with SIDS or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
SIDS is nothing new. It is a dreaded issue that parents have to deal w
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) has been a familiar problem for parents sleeping with their kids in bed. And if you think that isn’t enough, it seems that falling asleep on the sofa makes it entirely traumatic as reports bear the growing number of babies dying due to adults falling asleep on a sofa.
The Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths (FSID) is a charity that aims to prevent sudden death and promote infant health. The FSID also shared that the safest place for a baby to sleep, for the f
Another wave of baby cribs have been recalled by the Consumer Product Safety Commission due to suffocation and strangling hazards affecting small kids. Apparently the problem is traced to the tubular mattress-support frames which can bend or break thus causing the mattress to collapse.
Other than this, they can be an entrapment hazard. There has been at least one death caused by suffocation and 13 other incidents have been reported to the C.P.S.C. The Safety Commission urge parents not to use or attempt
You can add another issue to highlight among teens if they lack sleep. A study showed that lack of sleep could become a high risk issue for teens who lack sufficient shuteye. Teens who go to be after midnight are more likely to experience depression, especially the ones who get less than 5 hours of sleep. Worst, 50% of those sleep-deprived teens may even commit suicide!
Doctors recommended that parents remove television sets and video games from teenagers’ rooms to help them get
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
