It's almost time for Santa's helpers to wrap up gifts for the babies in their lives. But with the myriad of toys that line the toy store shelves, what are the best choices?
You may be shocked by recent findings of a study conducted by Dr. Alan Greene, which found that feeding your baby white rice cereal equates to feeding them a spoonful of sugar!
Here's something that may really surprise you: As much as we may want our babies to sleep through the night, our own subconscious emotions sometimes hold us back from encouraging change in our babies' sleeping habits. You yourself may be the very obstacle preventing a change in a routine that disrupts your life. So let's figure out if anything is standing in your way.
As baby becomes more aware, play "Seal Feet"...Lay baby on back on your lap and clap feet together making Seal/Walrus noises. (Again...don't be bashful to do this even in public. Who cares if you look silly!)
What you're dealing with here is a very common (and also a very frustrating) problem. Some parents of newborns find that their babies won't nap at all. Others find that their babies nap for 20 minutes maximum -- barely even a catnap. So what's going on?
Human beings appear to have approximately nine built-in feelings at birth. These findings are based on the work of researchers such as Darwin, Demos, Ekman, Izard, Nathanson, and, especially, Tomkins. These feelings later combine with each other and experience to form our complex emotional life. Understanding these feelings and how they work can make a world of difference for you and your baby.
