0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung June 1st, 2008 in How to sleep better, SLEEP News, Sleep Education, Sleep Issues.
When all else fails, parents will either ask a sleep specialist or maybe hit the bookstores and look for advice in books that specialize in sleep problems. Well just in case you are one of these worried parents, here is a good book that you can surely check out.
This is a good book that can provide you advice on how to establish appropriate sleep habits for your baby and child. The book is authored by Dr. Eduard Estivil, a director of the Sleep Distrubances Clinic at the Institut Dexeus in Barcelona, Spain. He is likewise a practicing pediatrician and a specialist in sleep medicine.
“Well, now think about what you have been willing to do when your child starts bawling at midnight. You stand on your head, do the hokey pokey, imitate Barney, or try to hypnotize your child by swaying the hanging lamp in front of his little face.
“What is the poor kid going to think? He’ll probably want to grow up as quickly as possible so he can sue you.”

Nothing Cute about A Baby’s Snore
1 Comment Published by Brian Yalung October 14th, 2007 in How to sleep better, SLEEP News, Sleep Issues, Snoring.
We often look at how our kids sleep when they are first born. We see them yawning, tossing and turning, or maybe even letting out a quiet murmuring sound which is eventually a snore. We will find it cute and amazing. But realistically, it is not really something we should adore or be proud of.
For all we know, these sounds are indications of something internally wrong with the child. Lapses in breathing or difficulty in the air passage is highly critical in children. It is best to mention this to their pediatrician beforehand just to be safe. Not a cause for alarm but if it recurs, then you may just have something to worry about.
