If you are a mom with babies or children running around, the words "sleep deprivation" resonate with you. We all feel different levels of sleep deprivation depending on our physical and mental state, not to mention where our little ones are in the growth process.With young babies in the home, a working mom gets little to no sleep in any given week. Many times, if baby doesn't sleep, neither does mom. It's the morning of an important meeting at work and you slept about two hours the night before. The grey circles under your eyes are a dead giveaway.What can you do to look refreshed?Pull out your sleep deprivation toolkit!1. A Splash Of Cold WaterA cool splash of water first thing in the morning dilates the vessels of your skin and shrinks pores. It will refresh your pretty face and that cold splash will wake you up right away, too.2. Use Teething RingsKeep a stash in the freezer (the larger sized flower shaped or flat teethers work best for this step). Pull one out, wrap with a light cloth or napkin and apply to your puffy eye. You can always use two, applying one to each eye so you save some time. Cool cucumber slices on your eyes can also do the trick to reduce puffiness.3. Get The Red OutBloodshot eyes? If you are a fan of Visine or Clear Eyes, you can add a drop or two to each eye. Bright, white eyes give you an alert and awake look even when you are sleeping at your desk with your eyes open. Don't forget to read the labels on these products to better understand the side effects before using.A more natural approach to get the red out includes the cool cucumber slices on the eyes or soak a cloth in warm chamomile tea (wring out excess fluid) and place on your closed eyes. Let the warm feeling sooth your eyes for a few minutes and then repeat if needed. Don't rub your eyes!4. Don't Forget Your ConcealerA few dabs of concealer under your eyes as part of your make-up regimen will also diminish the look of grey circles. It's worth the time and money to visit your favorite make-up counter at the mall and get the expert opinion regarding a color match that suits your complexion. A concealer that is too light may add to the tired look you are trying to "conceal."5. Hydrate Your BodyIt's good for a cool splash on your face, now fill up your glass for a drink of water. Hydrate in the morning! Sometimes this step is hard to do early in the morning but a glass of water will help kick-start your day from the inside. Add in a cup of coffee or tea and you'll be ready to go in no time!While the mornings are tough and the puffy eyes may remain a constant on a working mom's face, it helps to remember at some point you will achieve that 8-hour night of sleep again. For now, keep your "toolkit" in mind and in practice and you will be ready for the corporate day that lies ahead in no time.

Your Aquarius Baby...January 20 - February 18Your Aquarian baby will be outwardly calm, relaxed and delightful and grandparents in particular will dote on your baby. From an early age Aquarians are quick thinkers who will want to analyse everything and everyone. An Aquarian child will often be totally unpredictable and come up with with lots of ideas; and she will also be sensitive and intuitive. You may find your child will rebel against commands and rules, but if you leave her to think things through she will normally come to a sensible conclusion on her own. Young Aquarians like to have many friends, although few will be very close, and will be generous towards them. Parents should watch out for the typical Aquarian absent-mindedness which may seem strange in one so young.An Aquarian child will be full of energy and will be constantly on the go and needs plenty of opportunity to make discoveries. Your child will thrive in a peaceful, calm, harmonious environment. These children are sensitive to any underlying tensions, so if you have to argue with a partner or other family member, try to do so out of earshot of your child. Aquarian children can often look more confident than they feel and so they will need genuine encouragement and praise from their parents.Young Aquarians should be encouraged to think logically and practically. Their minds are always working quickly, sometimes too quickly so they often get in a muddle.The typical Aquarian child is very healthy.

There are many reasons why couples choose gender of a baby. Maybe they already have a son and want a daughter or they want to have a son in order to carry on the family name. There are many methods that can help you on how to choose baby gender naturally.The most important thing to understand if you want to pick the gender of your baby is to know how the baby is formed. The sperm cells decide the outcome of the gender of the baby and nothing else. The sperm cells contain same quantity of X and Y chromosomes. Male sperm cell contains Y chromosomes and female sperm cell contains X chromosomes. Male sperm is smaller but swims faster than female sperm while female sperm is bigger and tougher and has a longer lifespan than male sperm.There are too many myths on how to choose the sex of your baby but the only factor that will determine the gender of your baby is the type of sperm that will reach the egg cell. If you want to have a boy, male sperm must reach the egg cell first and if you want to have a girl, female sperm must reach the egg cell first.You can have high success rate by using natural methods of gender selection. These methods include your diet, positions and timing of your ovulation. You can also take a course on a fertility clinic regarding gender selection program but it is expensive and will not guarantee 100% success rate.

In most cases, your infant's fever should be left alone. Fever serves a very useful purpose and is the body's ally in fighting infection. There are a few natural remedies, however, that are safe for babies that will help your little one feel more comfortable.It's a good idea to see a Naturopath, Homeopath or other licensed health care provider who specializes in natural remedies before using them on your baby. He or she can point you in the right direction when choosing herbs and homeopathic remedies as well as help you with dosing.Lemon balm leaf, chamomile, peppermint, licorice and elder flower have been traditionally used to treat infant fevers. A baby older than 2 can be given one half cup of herbal tea, up to 4 times a day, for 24 hours. For babies younger than two who are breastfeeding, it is best if Mom takes the herbs herself in order to pass along the medicinal properties to her nursing infant. Or you can purchase over the counter herbal formulations with dosages designed for infants at your local health shop.Echinacea and goldenseal have been proven in some studies to clear up infection. Try a combination specially designed for children.Garlic also has antibacterial properties. If your baby is older than 9 months, you can make a batch of chicken broth with garlic, and serve it to your baby.Ginger tea can help with a fever. It's also great for stomachaches. Ginger has warming properties and is wonderful for babies who are chilled. Make a weak tea with grated fresh ginger. If your infant is over one year of age, add a drop of honey to sweeten.Homeopathic remedies are effective for infant fevers, but the specific remedy must match the individual child's symptoms. Check a homeopathic reference book to find the right one, or call a Doctor of Homeopathy.Be sure to keep baby well hydrated with clear liquids. If baby is nursing, offer the breast frequently so that baby will get plenty of fluids and the natural immune factors in breastmilk.Keep in mind that if your infant is younger than 6 months old, it's a good idea to call your Doctor about a fever. Additionally, if baby is listless, lethargic, acting unusual, having difficulty breathing or complaining of a stiff neck, phone your Doctor immediately.

Having read some books on generation gap issues, and having had a couple of classes on the 4 different generations, it seems that it is a lot like studying different cultures. Understanding another culture starts with understanding our own culture and values first, and then comparing it with the other culture and seeing the difference. Of course, the characteristics presented here are some general tendencies, and may not represent every person. Not all Baby Boomers, Generation X, or Millenials are cut from a cookie-cutter mold, but many similar values and perspectives exist within each generation that can be condensed and used as a starting point for understanding.Baby Boomers (age 43 - 61), of which I am a part, have been described as hard-working and tend to have a very high work ethic. They are competitive in all that they do. They work long, hard hours, and are basically a "live to work" generation. A prominent value is how successful they are in their career. Baby Boomers and those they work with make fairly good teams, having a common goal to get the job done. They'll sacrifice weekends and holidays, and usually do what it takes to get things done. Boomers will routinely take on other tasks outside their job description if that is what it takes to "git 'er done."Boomers tend to define themselves by what they do. Work is very important to them and to their sense of self worth and also their net worth. They define their lives, and define who they are, by what they do. Boomers value personal development. Authority figures can be loved or hated at the same time. Boomers yearn for visible rewards, such as certificates, awards, plaques and trophies. Trophies and other badges of honor demonstrate that they did a good job. They want to be rewarded with jobs of higher responsibility and want to get promotions. They need to be told that they did a good job, and want their supervisors to acknowledge the good job they did. They also need lots of material things, which are tangible rewards for their hard work, and they want lots of money. Money drives them. It is the reward for their labors and a measure of their success. They strive to build growing careers and professions, and tend to be workaholics. They will also quickly go into debt to achieve their vision of the American material Dream. Then they had kids.The spawn of the boomers are the Generation X (GenX) kids (ages 28 - 42) and Millennial kids (age

While new parents expect that their baby may cry when hungry, the idea that a colicky baby may be crying due to overfeeding is not considered as often. However, there are certain indicators that can point to a problem with overfeeding, and which can reduce the occurrence of colic if resolved in a timely fashion. If your baby has these symptoms, speak with her pediatrician for advice. The doctor may recommend changes to the nursing routine, or if your baby is bottle fed, changes in the amount or type of formula you offer.
Your baby's tummy often seems bloated or distended after a feeding. If your baby is nursing too much, or has too much formula, then that can throw off the timing of digestion. Milk will be passed to the intestines before adequate digestion has occurred - which in turn can lead to bloating, cramps and a colicky baby.
  Your baby often wants to be fed, but will often spit up large amounts of milk or formula after feedings. Sometimes, when a baby is overfed, the excess will be spit up. This in turn can lead to an acid reflux problem in infants that can cause painful irritation - thus leading to a colicky baby situation. If your baby's pediatrician approves, try adjusting the amount of formula you give at each feeding, or only nurse from one breast per feeding.
  Your baby seems to have excessive bowel movements, especially when accompanied by colic-like symptoms. This can be due in part to the undigested milk passing through his system. Again, it's important to speak to your baby's doctor before changing any feeding routines, to have other potential causes ruled out first. Regular feedings are essential for all babies, however, overfeeding can cause just as many problems as underfeeding. For this reason, it is important to follow your baby's hunger cues rather than simply offering the bottle or breast each time she cries. Try other means of soothing your infant - rocking, singing, a pacifier or other distraction - before feeding if he's been fed recently. By adjusting feeding schedules with the approval and supervision of your baby's pediatrician, you may be able to eliminate colic that is caused by overfeeding. 

It seems like more and more babies are struggling with eczema,
or really dry skin.  As a mother, I have had to deal with my
child's struggle with really dry skin. Ever since my son's
birth, he has been getting rough, dry patches on his skin.   If
you haven't noticed, your baby's skin probably gets drier in the
winter than in the summer.  These are just some tips that have
helped my baby's skin stay "soft as a babies butt" all year
round.If your baby's skin is extremely dry, cut down on
baths--depending on how old your baby is.  When your baby starts
crawling, you will notice that he gets dirtier. Giving your baby
a bath every other day instead of every day will be sufficient
to keep your baby clean. Too much water can strip moisture from
the skin.Put lotion on within a couple minutes of your baby getting out
of the bath.  Because he was just in warm water, your baby's
pores are open and will absorb more moisture.  I have noticed
that when I put lotion on right away, my baby's skin just eats
it up. If I add a little more lotion to his skin at this point,
my baby's skin seems to stay moist all day long.Use a lotion that is made for sensitive skin.  I like using
Huggies extra sensitive lotion.  It's fragrance free,
hypoallergenic, and dye free.  It really moisturizes and uses
mild gentle ingredients that won't irritate baby's skin.Use plenty of lotion--really put it on. It may take a minute to
rub it all in, but it's worth it.  I have noticed that when I
really do a good job of rubbing the lotion in, my baby's skin
stays soft and the moisture lasts until the next day.Turn down the heat. The hotter the house is, the drier the air.
If your baby seems cold, add clothes instead of turning up the
heat.Cut down on the soap.  If baby's skin is dry, using a bubble
bath can make it worse.  Only use soap on the body parts that
need it, i.e. the diaper area.  Also, use a gentle soap.If your baby's skin is really dry, up his fluid intake. Babies,
as well as adults, get moisture from inside the body.When baby has dry patches, rub some mild hydrocortisone cream on
the spot, or ask your doctor for some medication to help these
patches go away.Add moisture in your baby's room with a humidifier. This will
put moisture in the air and help hydrate your baby's skin.As always, if your baby's skin is extremely dry go visit your
doctor.  But the best medicine is always preventative, so try to
prevent your baby's skin from being dry by following the above
tips.

Q: My breastfed baby spits up frequently. Is there something I'm eating that could be causing this? Could it be reflux? Or is this normal?A: If your baby is spitting up, even if it's a frequent occurrence, it's rarely a sign of a serious problem. In fact, "In a healthy baby," according to the late Dr. Gregory White, previously a medical advisor to La Leche League, "spitting up is a laundry problem, not a medical problem." If your baby is gaining weight properly and otherwise developing normally, you probably have nothing to worry about, and likely the problem will lesson and eventually go away by the time baby is a year old.Still, it can be disconcerting if your nursing baby spits up a lot. You may be wondering if he or she is getting enough milk or if there is some problem with your breastmilk. Rest assured. There are several things you can do to help prevent frequent spitting up.1) Let Gravity Help When FeedingBasically, any position that causes the milk to go against gravity will help baby handle the flow of milk more easily, and cause him to swallow less air. Try nursing baby in the "football" hold with him looking at your breast and partially sitting up, facing you. Nursing lying down will allow baby to let extra milk flow out the side of his mouth. After a feeding, try holding him upright in a baby sling. Many Moms have found that their frequent spitters are helped when they're frequently held close to Mom's body in a soft carrier.2) Finish The First Breast FirstAt the beginning of a feeding, your baby is getting the lower fat "foremilk" and later on, the higher fat "hindmilk". If you remove baby from the first breast before he pulls away and give him the other side, he may fill up with foremilk, causing some gassiness, fussiness, and more spitting up. Let him decide when he's done with the first breast, either by pulling away or falling asleep. If you have a very strong "letdown", or milk ejection reflex, then this is especially important. You may have an overabundant milk supply. Try keeping baby on one side for an entire feeding.3) Pay Attention To Your LatchBe sure baby is latched on properly. His mouth should be open wide and he should have a lot of areola (not just the nipple but surrounding tissue) in his mouth. If he is latched on well you will have no pain, and baby will swallow less air. It's also a good idea to burp a frequent spitter before offering him the second breast. Oftentimes a thorough burping will prevent spit up later.4) Relax!Frequent spitting up is often caused by an underdeveloped esophageal sphincter (fancy term for the muscles that keep food down). The problem will likely resolve as baby gets older.Spitting up is rarely caused by something a nursing Mom ate. There is no one food that causes trouble in most or all breastfed infants. Nursing Moms worldwide eat a variety of foods (including spicy foods, garlic, dairy products and "gassy" foods like onions, cabbage and beans) and nurse healthy babies. Food allergies are rare in breastfed infants. If you have a strong family history of allergies, then your baby may be allergic to something that appears in your milk. Ask your health care provider for recommendations about changing your diet.Fussiness can be caused by many different factors, including temperament. If you suspect that your baby's frequent spitting up is caused by Reflux, he may have some of the following symptoms: trouble gaining weight, difficulty breathing, gagging and extreme irritability. Ask your baby's Doctor about your baby's symptoms if you're unsure.

Turtles are one of the cutest pets that you can have that you can't cuddle with. They are small and when they are babies they are so cute and of course slow! Learning how to take care of a new baby turtle is not common knowledge because they are not popular pets. It's easy to know what to do with dogs and cats because almost everyone has one or the other and they pass the information down to other people.When taking care of new turtles the first thing you will need to know is how and what to feed them to keep them healthy. There is a variety of turtle foods that are available in different sizes and shapes and can be made with different ingredients. You can buy flakes and small pellet foods that are sold specifically for baby turtles.The most common food for turtles that you can purchase are turtle sticks. These are great for any type of turtles including the babies. Water turtles will most likely need to eat the much larger floating pellets - but again they can be given to most other turtles.One thing that we urge you never use are dried whole shrimp and bugs. The way that these are sold is very questionable and may not be safe for any turtles and especially the babies. There are shrimp pellets that can be used as treats - but not as a main source of food.In order for your baby turtle to get all of the necessary nutrients and vitamins to stay healthy you can continue to feed them the sticks, flakes, and pellets. They have been made to contain all of these important and healthy nutrients to keep your baby turtle strong and well cared for. You can feed them cooked eggs and poultry as well as the shells.If you need a slight substitute in the diet than you should consider fish foods. Many fish food have the same types of ingredients as turtle food. Don't even waste your time trying to feed your baby turtle fruits and veggies. They won't eat them. Other foods to stay away from are raw seafood and other raw meats. These contain too much fat and could make them sick with salmonella.If you have any questions or concerns about what else to feed your baby turtle and where to buy the right turtle food than ask your veterinarian. Your vet will be able to give you all the instructions you need and can answer any questions that you have.

When ferrets are first born they are known as kits. They only weigh 8 to 10 grams when they are born and can easily fit into a teaspoon. It takes only 10 days for them to grow 3 times bigger then when they are first born, from only their mother ferret's milk. Baby ferrets spend the first three weeks of their life sleeping and nursing. The kits develop teeth after only two weeks, but it takes a full month for them to open their eyes and to begin hearing.When the baby ferrets are three weeks old, they are 10 times larger then when they are born. At three weeks they are able to eat solid food, but will still mostly nurse from their mother. It is around this time that the kits will start to produce a sound that resembles a goose honking to attract attention, but lose this ability when they are around two months old.A baby ferret's skin is pinkish when they are first born and have a very foul odor. This is likely part of the baby ferret's natural way of fending off predators. After a few days after birth they begin to grow fur, and almost after a week of life the fur begins to turn color. When the baby ferret is around 3 weeks old, it will become apparent what color the ferret will be when it grows older.The difference between male and female kits becomes obvious around 6 weeks. Male kits will be around a full 50% larger then their female counterparts. Female kits reach full size after 4 months and weigh around 600 to 800 grams, while males reach full size around 10 weeks.

Watching your little ones cool off in a baby pool can be both fun and entertaining, especially for them. However, the most important thing to remember is safety. More than 300 children under five years old die from drowning each year.Here are a few tips to help keep your children safe when they swim.1. Have constant supervision. It is important to supervise your children when they are in a pool at all times. It doesn't matter how shallow the water is or how small the baby pool may be. They need constant supervision either by you, another parent, a close family   member, or a friend. Never, under any circumstances, leave a child alone in a swimming pool unsupervised.2. Have various flotation devices available. Floatation devices are not only safe they are also fun! Children can be both safe and entertained at the same time. Flotation devices come in all shapes and sizes, and can easily fit into any regulation-sized pool.3. Avoid rough play. Children are known to get a little rambunctious now and then. Remember to keep rough play at a minimum in the baby pool. Shoving each other underwater and splashing around can lead to serious accidents. Let your children play and have fun, but make sure that it is good, clean fun!4. Too many kids in the pool.  Baby pools are relatively small in size. Having too many kids in the pool can be dangerous. A crowded pool can cause unnecessary accidents, especially of children are splashing around. If you have other children over to swim in the pool, let them take turns. Two or three kids in the pool at a time should suffice.5. Don't let them stay in too long. Most children love water, especially young children. When it comes to children ages five and under however, you have to be careful of too much water exposure. Don't let them stay in the water for too long of a time. They may end up getting sick from the chilled water, get too much water in their ears or develop rashes. Children could stay in the baby pool all day if you let them.6. Clean the pool regularly. Clean it before and after your children swim in it. Also, store it in a dry place to reduce mildew. Never leave the baby pool out in the yard to collect rain or sit in the sun. Bacteria build-up can happen this way. Scrub the pool down before you fill it with fresh water and empty out the water when your children are done swimming.7. Be CPR-certified. As an extra precaution, make sure that anyone supervising your children (including you), is CPR-certified. CPR certification can be achieved through local Red Cross organizations, adult learning programs or the YMCA.  CPR certification is important because if anything should happen while your children are swimming, you'll be able to act accordingly.

Are you desperate to conceive a baby boy but don't have the thousands of dollars going spare that would be needed to pay for the services of a baby gender selection clinic? Or perhaps you are simply overwhelmed by the amount of information available on the Internet today that claims to show you how to choose the sex of your baby? Well read on and I tell you the three most important considerations for ensuring that you conceive a boy.One of the most well known scientific methods for determining the sex of your baby is called the Shettles method. Over the last twenty five years or so may thousands of couples have been successful applying the techniques required for this method. It reportedly has a success rate of 75% although some researchers put it as high as 90%, which is pretty impressive stuff. The Shettles method is based on the fact that the Y chromosome sperm ( boy sperm ) are smaller and less hardy the larger and more robust X chromosome sperm ( girl sperm ). However they may be smaller but they're a lot quicker!How to Conceive a Baby Boy Tip 1 - Know When You're OvulatingFirst off you simply must determine the time of ovulation. Baby gender selection relies heavily on this information. Knowing when you ovulate is vital when you are trying to conceive a boy. There are three ways to do this which I will not go into great detail here but basically they involve:
Charting body temperature
  Charting cervical mucus
  Using ovulation prediction kits
How to Conceive a Baby Boy Tip 2 - Timing and Frequency of Intercourse Shettles recommends that to increase your chances of conceiving a boy you must have intercourse from 24 hours before ovulation to no more than 12 hours past ovulation. If you have sex too far in advance of ovulation then the 'boy' sperm will be long gone leaving the slower more resilient 'girl' sperm to hit the target at the right time. Intercourse closer to ovulation ensures that cervical mucus present at ovulation is less acidic and slippery enough to help the 'boy' sperm reach the egg more quickly. This timing is vital.How to Conceive a Baby Boy Tip 3 -Position During Intercourse Shettles suggests that if you are trying to conceive a boy, a position that involves deep penetration from your partner will deposit the sperm closer to the cervix giving the faster and more aggressive 'boy' sperm a head start at getting to the egg and fertilizing it first.Finally, another tip is to get your partner wear boxers. Tight fitting underwear will increase heat levels around the testes which can lead to a lower the sperm count. Wearing loose fitting underwear helps keep the testes cooler.

Leading in the list of baby things that a mother has is a baby crib. Baby cribs had been essential in securing the baby. You could actually leave the baby in place without actually worrying that he or she might fall. The use have been widely accepted by all mothers.Purchasing the safest baby cribs should not be the only consideration that one should make. One should also consider the assembly. Because it might be of high quality, but how you assemble them makes all the sense of the word.You could actually let the manufacturers or dealers assemble the crib for you. But in most cases, you are required to assemble it yourself. When this happens, the most important thing that you should do is to make sure that the crib would be strong and sturdy. The key is to follow crib instructions carefully.Following instructions carefully would equal to the safety of the bed, and of course your baby. One of the bay crib instructions that is very handy is first to make sure that all the needed parts are there; because, if there is at least one part missing, the bed could be dangerous for your baby already. You should take in to consideration every detail there is in the manual and the bay crib instruction.Baby crib instruction is very useful in determining if certain actions could be applied to the bed For example, with instructions, you could easily know if you could raise the mattress support higher or not. You would be also given knowledge on how to operate certain parts of the sleep area.Once you have assembled the baby crib, ensure that there is no part missing. Ensure also that every single part is on its right place. So that, when any damage has occurred, you could easily determine it and have a replacement right away. Remember, one missing part could equal harm and danger to precious baby.Follow the instructions carefully. Assembling a small bed is a very crucial job because what you are assembling would be the bed of your baby. You should be sure that it is strong, sturdy and safe. Also, check on it everyday. Is it still okay today? All these things are necessary to ensure the safety of your baby.Always consider the safety of your baby in everything you do. They are precious little ones that you could not just put anywhere. They came from you and I'm sure you dearly love them. And so, let them feel that love by giving them the best security you could give.

When the music gets too loud there is a problem for baby boomers. Baby boomers were part of a generation in music that defined so much of what is heard now. There are covers done by bands and rappers that borrow hooks from songs from the 60s and 70s. Baby boomers don?t need to cover their ears when they hear the music of today, but embrace what their generation did for modern music.When baby boomers were growing up, music was an important part of society. Icons were first taking form such as The Beatles or The Rolling Stones. Music was about life and changes. Music had meaning and reached into the heart and soul of the baby boomers. Not much has changed in that respect. Baby boomer musicians are still creating songs about getting older. However, the music still stays the same. Baby boomers can rock out and enjoy the music now just as they did when they were younger.The rock and roll lifestyle wasn't always glitz and glam. The 60s saw the demise of several rock icons. Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Freddie Mercury all succumbed to the lifestyle. There deaths were just as much as a part of the culture as any other thing that happened in that time. They went too far and took the rock and roll culture to a further point. Their music is still celebrated and looked upon as unique, trendy and still remains current to this day.Baby boomers learned how to move on because it doesn't pay to wallow in sadness. Musicians from that time are still making music. The Rolling Stones recently went on a tour that was one of the most successful in the country. They made money while young and old rocked out to their music. Music of the baby boomer generation transcends different cultures. Take at look at Aerosmith or Bob Seger. These are all musicians that maintained over the years and continue to rock even into their later years. Just because you?re old doesn't mean you aren't allowed to have fun. Baby boomers will argue they deserve it most because they have created a culture that won?t soon be forgotten.Rock and roll isn't just about the music though. Rock and roll is about an attitude. It?s a way of life. A life the baby boomers exemplify. They live life to the fullest, doing everything they can and never getting cheated. However, the ones that took this attitude too far are the ones that suffered. If you look at baby boomers and all they have done in life, you see this attitude. They have worked in the best jobs, enjoyed life by going on great vacations and have bought the best things life has to offer.Rock and roll is about not selling out. That is why rockers have great contempt for anyone they have deemed a sell out. This doesn't change with age. Baby boomers still aim to have fun even though their lives have gotten busier and they have more responsibilities. The more work they have to do just means a bigger reward in the end.For baby boomers who have forgotten that lifestyle, there is still time to get it back.

Baby strollers are one of those things we can't just do without. We need them when we want to take the baby out and they provide a more convenient way for us to take our babies along with us wherever we are going; whether to the mall, the supermarket or out for an errand somewhere.But we do know that babies can be fussy, especially when they're bored, wet or sleepy. This is why putting in additional stroller accessories on top of the ones that already come with the stroller itself, can help us tremendously.Choosing Stroller AccessoriesBefore we start buying off any accessories for our babies' prams, there are three things that we should consider: safety, usefulness and affordability.First of all, safety should always be the number one consideration we have to think of when purchasing anything for our babies, and this includes those extra add-ons for the strollers.The materials used for the accessory should be non-toxic since babies love to put stuff in their mouths or taste whatever they get hold of. Small, detachable parts are also big considerations.The next consideration is, how useful is this add-on going to be? Stroller toys that can keep the babies entertained for a few minutes at a time are useful since it can keep them occupied for awhile.Stroller accessories that can hold feeding bottles, extra nappies, wipes and other baby needs are also available for our convenience.The cost is another consideration although we should always check for the top two essentials first before finally checking out if we can afford them. Usually, but not all the time, cheaper stroller accessories are made from inferior materials so we could end up spending more in the long run if we buy a replacement for the accessories once they get broken.Stroller Accessories OnlineWe can find a good variety of accessories for single baby strollers on the internet and we can check all the considerations stated above even if the products are viewed only through the internet.There usually is a product description complete with the materials used for the accessories so we can know whether they will be safe for use around our babies. From bottle holders to netting, stroller hooks for baby bags, reflectors and baby toys; these can all be found online so we don't have to wait until our next available time to trek down the mall before we can get our stroller essentials.Cushioned straps are also good stroller accessories so the babies will not get hurt by the usual seat-belts that come with some strollers.Simply check everything before we make a purchase and then we're all set. Plus, these can be delivered right at our doorstep so no need to pick them up!

Following this, they will learn to crawl, then coast and finally walk/run. The checks for dangers should be stage-appropriate as follows:Once they learn to roll, they will still be confined to one room, so you must go down on your hands and knees in that room and look for dangers such as the following:
Ensure they cannot roll into something sharp, hard or unstable such as a piece of furniture in the room.
Keep very small items up from the floor in that room.
Use a playpen to confine them and include plenty of toys. They should get used to one of these early on, otherwise it will be difficult to keep them in one.
Check that there are no dangers in their cot such as very small toys, toys not suitable for their age or baby monitors. Also ensure that there are no items outside of the cot which are within reach.
When they learn to crawl, they will move from room to room so you need to check each room in the house. Some pointers are as follows:
Now is the time to put that stair gate at the bottom and top of the stairs.
Put covers on all idle sockets.
See what is lurking under the furniture.
Protect from hot radiators.
Keep the external doors closed so that they cannot escape.
Put a child-friendly fireguard to cover the whole fireplace.
Keep household cleaning agents and other chemicals up out of dangers way.
Place locks on any cupboards and drawers containing hazardous or sharp materials. Maybe have the saucepan cupboard unlocked so that they can explore it.

Do not leave ironing boards open and standing, particularly with hot irons on them.
Keep flexes of irons, kettles and other hazardous electrical items out of baby's reach so that they can't pull them down on top of themselves.

There's nothing worse when taking your baby or toddler out of the bath than using a towel which is too small to properly absorb the water before it comes in contact with your own skin and clothes. Many parents end up soaked to the skin and need to change their own clothes after already spending so much time bathing, drying and dressing their baby. Apart from this and even if the towel is large enough, it can be very difficult to properly handle the slippery baby while and to then wrap the baby comfortably in the towel when they are slip-sliding out of your grasp.There aren't many solutions to this but one which has won many awards and continues to give great re-assurance and confidence to parents are the My Munchkin Hooded Baby Apron Towels.

They are perfect for bonding with your baby during and after a bath & perfect for the sensitive skin of newborns.It is packaged in a stylish towel sack that can be used afterward for storing all those tiny little socks, hats, mittens and other items. It is also handy when taking trips to the swimming pool with baby.Choose from 3 fabulous/gorgeous colours: Candy Pink, Blue and Luxury White.They work like an apron initially, where mum secures one end around her neck with Velcro fasteners, while then lifting baby out of the bath and wrapping the sides of the "apron" around the baby's body. Once mum is ready to release the towel from around her neck, this is done conveniently and baby can be dried with the towel. The hood allows his or her head to be covered while drying, keeping them snug and warm and allowing their hair to be towel dried without needing to move the towel up and making baby cold.Hooded baby towels from My Munchkin are also the ideal gift for the baby who already has everything and when one is at a loss to think of a good present.

You will not have to battle long lines or crowds. You will never feel rushed or hurried.Two things that you will find online when you find the right sites are good selections and great prices.

The pride can be seen in the creativity of designs and in the workmanship of the product.

Imagine shopping for toys and books as well. Read reviews of satisfied customers and what products or fashions are loved by those also buying online. You can ask questions and get answers. Shared feedback will always increase your information that can help in good solid decision making and buying.So, don't get off the couch, but do put your shopping hat on.
