School
Children start developing the skills that will help them in school from the first years of life. Parents and childcare workers play a role in helping children get ready for school.
Diet
If they gave in to their child’s every whim, some parents would build a menu around chicken nuggets, spaghetti and... chicken nuggets!
Family life
Vacation time is just about over and with September and back-to-school time, the routine is back in our daily family-work activities. Are you ready? Do you need tips?
Breastfeeding
When expecting a baby, there are many things a mom says she will never do when her child is born. Things like, “I will never give my child sweets to stop them from crying and definitely never use a pacifier to soothe them.”
Breastfeeding
One of the best ways to get breastfeeding support is to work with a Lactation Consultant. This is a certified trained health professional who specializes in helping mothers learn how to breastfeed and fine-tune their technique in order to ensure a healthy and comfortable breastfeeding experience.
Breastfeeding
You love to breastfeed and know all the benefits of breastmilk, but want to take a break from breastfeeding sometimes. Or perhaps you are an exclusive breast pumping mom whose baby for one reason or another cannot feed on the breast.
Breastfeeding
For the first six months of life, a baby does not need any food or drink other than breastmilk. However, around six months of age, babies tend to become curious about solid food.
Pregnancy/Maternity
Being pregnant can be both wonderful and stressful all year round but pregnant women should be more careful in the summer.
Diet
With the increasing prevalence of obesity worldwide, many foods with a high sugar and fat content are being pointed at. But do we really need to ban certain food products for toddlers?
Pregnancy/Maternity
Pregnant women ask themselves many questions during their pregnancy. Can I continue to do abdominal exercises during pregnancy? If not, are there other exercises that I should be doing?
Medela asked three moms to test one (1) "freestyle" double electric breast pump worth $ 495. They had a period of eight (8) weeks to test the breast pump and here are their comments.
Pregnancy/Maternity
You were probably nervous in the minutes that preceded the result of your pregnancy test so you can imagine the stress that surrounds prenatal screening tests or amniocentesis!
Health
Behavioural strategies have been proven to be the most effective way to help infants and children who are resistant at bedtime or wake during the night.
Breastfeeding
Unfortunately, we still read and hear about moms who had a really difficult time breastfeeding with their first baby. This could involve anything from not mastering breastfeeding in the first few days to ongoing breastfeeding problems or worries about low milk supply.
