Babies pose and parents jump with joy every time they see"the pose". I love my mom and dad. They are always there for me. Even their friend Mr. Camera is always around to document every event in my life.<br />

Tips on How to Have Fun with Your Baby<br />
Babies are curious little people. They spend most of their time learning about the things around them. Since they learn through experience, their childhood can shape the adults that they are going to be. Happy babies become happy adults. Neglected children grow into cynical adults because they believe that nobody would bother to pay attention to them.<br />
Keeping your baby happy takes more than just looking for toys and other stuff that will attract his or her attention and keep him or her busy. You need to be attentive to your baby’s every needs as well as spend as much time with him or her as you can.<br />
<br />
Listening to distress signals<br />
One of the many ways to keep your baby happy is by paying close attention to what your baby needs to express – whether it’s delight or discomfort, you need to respond accordingly. Babies cannot go and prepare a sandwich on their own when they’re hungry. They are dependent on adults around them to prepare their meals. Crying is his only way of telling you that it’s time for a snack. Just imagine how cranky you can get when you haven’t had lunch yet. The same rule applies to babies.<br />
Taking proper care of your baby will keep him happy. They are happy when they are comfortable. Make sure that his diaper is clean and dry, keep him warm when the temperature gets cold and find ways to cool him down in the summer.<br />
<br />
Let him move<br />
While baby chairs, swings and jumpers can be convenient for parents who have other chores around the home, it’s also important for a baby’s motor development to let him be on the mat or on the floor. Let him move around freely so he can exercise his legs, back and arms. Just make sure that your home is baby-proof especially during stages when the baby is already learning to crawl and walk.<br />
<br />
Hanging out with him<br />
Babies like to be heard and appreciated. When someone bothers to listen to them, they become more confident. Take the time to hang out with your baby – play with him or talk to him often so he learns how it feels to have someone to depend on.<br />
Talking to your baby helps improve his cognitive and language skills. Even when you don’t have the least idea what he’s talking about, listen to him like you understand what he’s saying. Respond actively. Tell him what you’re doing while you’re doing it. This will help him create a connection between the words and the actions.<br />
<br />
Don’t sweat it<br />
When you put too much pressure on yourself to follow baby rules, your child can actually feel it. Taking care of your baby and making him happy doesn’t depend on doing everything perfectly. Remember that parenting is a work in progress. Sometimes, all you need to do is have fun with your baby and enjoy the moments you have with him or her and that should be enough for the baby to feel loved and nurtured. So relax and have fun. Your baby will grow up in no time so make sure you enjoy every moment while your baby is still a baby!<br />

</div><b>1. Respond to her cries in a variety of ways.</b> Often a parent discovers one way of responding that makes the baby stop crying and then they continue to use only that method every time the crying starts. Infant specialist Magda Gerber reminds us that when a baby is crying, you can ask the baby what the crying is about. Obviously, babies won’t be able to tell you in words, but by really paying attention to the baby's signals and trying different responses you can eventually figure it out. <br />
Since babies cry for different reasons, the same solution won’t be appropriate each time. Interestingly, if you just respond one way (for instance, by feeding your child) your child may come to believe that food is what she is crying for and may learn to use food as a way to comfort herself anytime in her life that she is upset. <br />
<b>2. Give your baby some space.</b> Try giving your baby plenty of time when she is not in any carrier or other confined space. Put her on her belly (when awake and active) on a blanket and let her experience moving. Some babies really enjoy doing this without clothes and diaper. <br />
<b>3. Talk to your little one.</b> If she fusses, come close and in a gentle voice talk to your baby and reassure her. You can also sing to her or play some music. <br />
<b>4. Touch her.</b> You can touch your baby without always picking her up. If she is on a blanket on the floor, you can sit or lay down next to her and gently touch or rub her body. <br />
<b>5. Wrap her up.</b> Alternately, some babies prefer to be wrapped snugly in a blanket. You can even try wrapping them with their arms inside the blanket (swaddling). Young babies still don’t have full control of their bodies and may startle themselves by waving their arms around and kicking their feet. You can experiment with this and see what your baby’s preferences are. <br />
<b>6. Change her location.</b> Sometimes changing a baby’s location will help her settle. Many babies love to be outside. If you can find a protected place outside -- with a comfortable temperature -- you can move her blanket and go to sit with her outdoors. For young babies, be wary of windy days. Younger babies have a reflexive response when wind hits their face and they begin to startle and gasp. <br />
<b>7. Try a baby carrier.</b> Use a sling or other front carrier and see if you and she enjoy the closenss a baby pack offers for part of the day. <br />
<b>8. Watch how she comforts herself.</b> Often even very young babies develop tools to calm and comfort themselves. Most commonly, babies will find their fist, fingers, or thumb to suck on. While historically, thumb-sucking has been discouraged, it is in fact a very resourceful strategy for a child. It provides a ready alternative when she really needs to suck but isn’t really hungry. You can also try pacifiers, if you are more comfortable with them. <br />
<b>9. Make time for you.</b> If possible, regularly arrange a few minutes (or more) to take care of yourself. Do you have a good friend, family member or child care person who can watch your baby for a while so you can get a short nap, a massage, a walk, some exercise, a few minutes to read, or time to write in your journal? Keeping yourself refreshed will help you be the resourceful parent you want to be. <br />
<b>10. Remember, you can’t spoil a baby.</b> When in doubt, err on the side of giving your baby too much attention. It is a limited time period that she will need you so completely. In a few short years, she is not going to be very interested in having you hold her all the time. Responding to her cries and requests now helps her develop confidence and hopefulness that the world and the people in it are trustworthy. <br />

If dad is so busy not to notice me, I crawl to his computer... he will surley pick me up and cuddle me hahaha. Every baby has his own style to be noticed.<br />

</div>Your new baby is making a big adjustment to her new world. What a different world it is than the one she was in for the last nine months! <br />
She is adjusting to new feels, sounds, sights, smells and tastes and learning that the world is a safe and responsive place where she will get her needs met. She is working on becoming familiar with the faces, voices, smells and sounds of her important people and is figuring out how to communicate her needs to you. <br />
She doesn’t understand her communication system any better than you do, but the two of you are working together to understand each other. You are learning to understand her different signals and she is learning to refine them so she can communicate her needs more specifically. <br />
As you learn each other's signals, it is important to spend time together touching, talking, holding and making eye contact. Through this closeness you learn about your baby's needs and signals and your baby learns to trust in your presence. One of the main sources of communication babies use is crying. Crying is probably the clue she is currently giving you that she wants to be held or fed. <br />
It's often challenging for new parents to figure out how to respond to their baby’s cries. A baby’s crying falls into two main categories: crying you can do something about and crying you can’t do much about. <br />
Crying that you can do something about stems from hunger, cold or fatigue. Some babies cry because their diaper is wet and will stop if you change it. <br />
Crying that you can’t do much about is crying that babies do to release tension or to express their emerging feelings. This kind of crying is not "fixable" by making a physical change for the baby. You can still help your baby when they are doing this kind of crying by staying close, calm, relaxed, attentive and reassuring. You can also observe carefully during this kind of crying to see if your baby gives you a signal that there is something else you can do to help. <br />
We are often tempted during this kind of crying to shake or pat a baby vigorously to get them to stop. This can be disturbing and even dangerous for a baby. <br />
It is important to remember that it is not your responsibility to "stop" your baby’s crying. It is, however, important that you try to be as attentive and responsive to your baby’s feelings as possible. <br />
While it sounds like it would be relatively easy to figure out which of these two kinds of crying is happening, it is often not clear until you try several different responses. You don’t need to expect yourself to know right away which kind of crying your baby is doing. One of your best strategies is simply educated guessing or "trial and error." <br />
The other challenge for new parents is that they often feel exhausted and overwhelmed. They have just made a major life change and are most likely doing it on limited and interrupted sleep. Their days are taken up with all of the details of caring for and getting to know a new baby. It is difficult to decode your baby’s communication system on top of all that.<br />

My dad does not allow me to watch TV alone. He makes it a practice to be with me every time the TV is on. I don't know why mom and dad limits my TV viewing. Mom said it's because of radiation. Dad said it can affect my thinking. Anyway, I really don't like watching TV, I only like the commercials of ladies with long hair. Dad found an informative article and posted it below. Hope it helps.<br />

</div>There are two schools of thought on this. One says that babies under two years of age should not be allowed to watch any TV; the other says that limited amounts of high-quality educational TV accompanied by adult interaction are fine - and may even be beneficial. When DVDs are used correctly, the repetition and familiarity they provide can actually aid learning.<br />
<br />
However, no TV at all is better than unsupervised watching. No TV at all is also better than any watching of entertainment-based programs - and that includes shows such as cartoons, which may be designed for kids, but are really not suitable for babies.<br />
<br />
What can happen to babies who watch the wrong sort of TV, or watch TV unsupervised?<br />
<br />
Child experts in the US have noted a correlation between high TV exposure in babies and toddlers, and the incidence of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. It's possible that watching TV's rapidly shifting images could have a negative impact on brain development in the very young (high-quality educational programs should not have rapidly shifting images though).<br />
<br />
Parents should note that even DVDs marketed as educational may be harmful to babies; if they are watched without supervision, that harm is multiplied. In August 2007 Dr Dimitri Christakis and Frederick Zimmerman of the University of Washington published a report on the effects of popular programs such as Baby Einstein and Brainy Baby. They found that for every hour per day spent watching the DVDs, babies learnt six to eight fewer new vocabulary words than babies who had never watched TV. Many of the programs were devoid of language content. But even when it came to shows designed to enhance language acquisition, Christakis says, "Videos of native speakers of languages fail to teach children as well as live speakers do." That's why it's important for an adult to speak or sing along to the DVD being shown.<br />
<br />
In October 2007 the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) - which advises that the under-two's not be allowed to watch any TV - published a report on the effects of TV exposure in early childhood. Consistent exposure to two or more hours of TV per day, the academy found, was correlated with a greater incidence of <a class="kLink" href="http://www.content4reprint.com/family/parenting/infants-and-toddlers/is-it-okay-to-let-my-baby-watch-tv.htm#" id="KonaLink0" style="position: static; text-decoration: underline ! important;" target="undefined"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana,serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: 400; position: static;"><span style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana,serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: 400; position: static;">sleep</span></span></a> and behavioral problems, as well as less developed social skills. Notes the AAP, "Under age two, talking, singing, reading, listening to music or playing are far more important to a child's development than any TV show."<br />
<br />
Shouldn't I follow the advice of the American Academy of Pediatrics to the letter?<br />
<br />
Yes - if that's the decision you're most comfortable with. It's worth noting, though, that the type of exposure the academy looked at in its study was unsupervised exposure to entertainment-based programs. We, like the academy, would advise you to spare your baby this sort of TV exposure for at least the first two years.<br />
<br />
Many parents and teachers find, however, that high-quality educational TV programs complement interactions with their babies and facilitate learning. Robert Titzer's Your Baby Can Read! and Rachel de Azevedo Coleman's Baby Signing Time! are good examples. The Titzer DVDs show parents the best way to read, repeat and talk about words; parents can also read along with the narrator and talk to their baby about the pictures onscreen. For parents teaching sign language to their baby, Coleman clearly demonstrates how to model signs - a big help and confidence boost to parents learning sign language along with their baby. The songs that accompany the lessons are fun and catchy, with babies' enjoyment of the DVDs increasing as they get to know the music.<br />
<br />
How can I be sure I'm getting the balance right?<br />
<br />
Interacting with your baby while watching is key. Besides that, you should ensure your baby watches no more than one hour of TV per day. To start off with, you might like to keep it to 15 minutes at a time - your baby will probably find it hard to pay attention for any longer. You can increase the duration later, when your baby starts to recognize and understand the program - and especially, when interactions become a two-way affair.<br />

I like to play with dad and mom. This is one thing I like to do. From the moment I wake up in the morning until I sleep at night, playing with them is best thing to do. When they go to work, I still love to play but nothing compares to mom and dad as my playmates.<br />
Dad likes to play funny faces and words. This is how we bond. He talks to me, I smile back. He cuddles me, I laugh back. He makes funny faces and sounds, I laugh back with amusement. This activity alone makes us happy. Sometimes when dad gets home from work, the first thing he will do is play with me. Mom seems to be jealous, but I don't care. I'm a baby remember?<br />

</div>Also, don't worry too much about stimulating your child to give her a "head start" on learning. Just because you and your partner are your baby's first teachers doesn't mean that you have to put pressure on yourselves to teach her anything. Your child learns from everything in her world: the things she sees, touches, hears, smells, and tastes. She doesn't need a set of fancy flashcards or other learning aids, at least not yet. As you play with your baby, keep in mind that play is supposed to be fun. Both you and your child will have more fun if you keep the pressure to learn to a minimum.<br />
During these first few months especially, what your baby needs from you is your love, your attention, and your time. More than anything else (even food), she wants and needs you to:<br />
<ul><li>Hold her</li>
<li>Sing to her</li>
<li>Play with her</li>
<li>Talk to her<br />
</li>
<li>Coo to her</li>
<li>Read to her<br />
</li>
<li>Praise even the smallest of successes</li>
<li>Cuddle with her</li>

My mom had to deliver some of her small home decorations to a buyer. Dad had no choice but to cook his own breakfast. He saw eggs in the fridge and started to play with it. I was in my crib. Dad stood in front of me with two eggs on his hand. He was showing off his skills to me although all he did was circle around the eggs with his hands while expressing a funny face. Of course I laughed. Dad made me smile again with his corny moves.<br />

</div>After showing off, the pan was hot, he kept looking at me while cooking saying egg is the easiest breakfast to cook. After some minutes, the air thickened... dad's eggs were fried too much. The heat from the electric stove was set at high. Dad tried to hide from me the over fried eggs by putting it in a bowl immediately.<br />

Here are some baby breakfast ideas:<br />
You can now give wholegrain low sugar adult breakfast cereals and maybe add chopped fresh or dried fruits and maybe some toasted wheat germ for a nutritious breakfast. <br />
Many breakfast cereals are fortified with iron so it is good to give some vitamin C rich food or drink at the same time like kiwi fruit or orange juice as this helps to boost iron absorption.<br />
Eggs are also a good food for breakfast but you must make sure that the yolk and white are cooked until solid. Well-cooked scrambled eggs and omelettes are fine but soft boiled eggs and poached eggs are not advisable for young babies.<br />
Yoghurt and fromage frais are good for breakfast but choose whole milk rather than the low-fat variety.<br />
Eggy bread (see recipe) and cheese on toast are also good and for a treat you can make pancakes. <br />
Fresh and dried fruit make goods a great baby breakfast ideas and finger food.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9018044721345923937.post-65172929686051812072009-10-13T21:38:00.000-07:002009-10-13T21:45:35.224-07:00My Baby Sitter Is Coming To Town!<b>My Baby Sitter...</b><br />

I like my baby sitter. She gives me milk and food on time. She gives me a good bath on time. She cuddles me and talk to me. She also kisses me every time I give her the sad face. Sometimes I like her more than dad because she smells good all the time. Dad smells like a big grown-up man. <br />

</div>A good baby sitter should have the following character: <br />
<b>1. Have good health</b>: Your overall health is important. If you have a cold or other contagious disease, do not accept a babysitting job.<br />
<b>2. Be dependable and responsible</b>: Dependability is a must. You are responsible for the child's health and safety.<br />
<b>3. Love little children</b>: The best babysitters usually understand and love children. Children tend to know whether you like them or not.<br />
<b>4. Be self-confident</b>: Children judge you as much by the way you look and act as by the words you say. Be sure of yourself.<br />
<b>5. Be mature</b>: You need to be levelheaded and act calmly in an emergency. You have to maintain authority and discipline.<br />
<b>6. Show good manners</b>: Be pleasant, and act in a courteous manner. This includes respect for the privacy of families by not going through closets and personal possessions.<br />
<b>7. Be knowledgeable about children</b>: You need a basic understanding of the stages of child development. You must also know the basic techniques of feeding, dressing, diapering, bathing and playing with younger and older children.<br />
<b>8. Have a business-like attitude: </b>Make sure you agree on the business aspects of the job before babysitting with a new family for the first time. Get the necessary information from the parents before they leave.<br />
<b>9. Be adaptable</b>: Accept the differences between households. It's your responsibility to fit in with the family's usual pattern or routines — not the other way around. If you feel uncomfortable with the family's lifestyle, you may need to refuse to accept the opportunity to work for them.<br />
<b>10. Be safety conscious</b>: Protect the children from harm. Be alert at all times.<br />
<b>11. You will be in demand</b>: Great babysitters are known by many parents. Usually they are busy with repeated jobs for the same families.<br />

A few weeks ago my dad was so busy doing his computer stuff. He was always watching the computer and told me about facebook. Dad seems to be out of his mind because I cannot see a face and a book in his computer. Anyway, as I was saying, dad got hooked doing the facebook that he forgot my milk time. I was sitting on my baby crib, I kept on shouting "wawahaha waaa, aiieee, waaa" ( dad my milk! ) but he ignored me. Mom, knowing dad sometimes forgets, called and asked about the milk time, dad didn't want her to know that he forgot so he asked me to cooperate and keep quiet while he was talking to mom over the phone. I cooperated well, he gave me my milk and a little extra bonus for cooperating... a back massage!<br />

Now, the question comes:<b> How Much Milk Does My Baby Need?</b><br />
One of the most confusing things about feeding your baby formula milk is trying to work out how much to feed him. And there's no single answer - it depends on your baby's age, weight, and whether you're feeding him only formula, or using it in combination with breastmilk or solids. In my parents case, they are not ashamed to ask.<br />

</div>Sometimes as a baby, we cannot control talking or uttering sounds. It's nature working his way out so we could also speak. Telling us to keep quiet is not good. If dad wants me to keep quiet, he carries me and gives me a soft back massage, it works for me, maybe it will work with your baby.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9018044721345923937.post-44163902673300284732009-10-11T22:31:00.000-07:002009-10-13T00:40:45.334-07:00The Healing Power Of TouchThe Healing Power Of Touch<br />

When I was two months old, we went to the province. The trip was long and cold. When we got there, many people were talking in front of me, I cannot understand what they were saying. It came to the point that I was scared because everyone of them wanted to hold me. Also, the weather was different, it was cold up in the mountains, again, I was scared. It always calms me when dad or mom touches me.<br />
Now that I'm a little older at nine months, every time I am not feeling well or sick or sleepy, mom and dad's touch is my number one medicine. I feel stronger, happier and fine when they touch me. I hope all babies out there will also enjoy the good feeling of loving touch.<br />

Of all of the senses, touch is the very first one to develop. As babies, it was through touch that we made sense of the world. Study after study has shown that touch is important to a baby’s development but it is also crucial to its survival.<br />

</div>Touch is not only a biological need but touch is also a communication tool at a very basic level. Not only can touch communicate more love in 5 seconds than words can in 5 minutes, it can also communicate more hate and anger. However, for the purpose of this newsletter, I want to focus on the incredible healing power of touch; on loving touch; on safe touch.<br />
Infants deprived of touch, even when they are getting adequate nutrition, will fail to grow properly. As children grow, their need for touch just doesn’t disappear; it remains constant and strong. Touch deprivation in adolescence usually leads to early and inappropriate sexual activity. Even senior citizens that have become isolated by a loss of their partner and/or friends become depressed not only because of their loss of social interaction, but because of the loss of loving touch from another.<br />

The banana, the comedian's friend. For as long as there has been comedy, the old banana peel gag has been around. The average person consumes up to 27 pounds of bananas per year. Their benefits are long reaching and help to restore balance to your system. <br />
As we all know, the banana is one of nature's best sources of potassium. Potassium is known to significantly lower the risk of high blood pressure and related diseases like heart attack and strokes. Bananas are believed to prevent dangerous low-density lipoprotein from oxidizing, which causes it to stick to the walls of the arteries. This accumulation can contribute to atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, a major contributor to heart attack, stroke and high blood pressure. Even one serving of a potassium rich food, such as bananas, can lower your risk of stroke by up to 40%. <br />
New research is indicating that bananas are helpful in ulcer treatment. They seem to act as a natural antacid. First, they stimulate the stomach's production of protective mucus which helps to prevent harsh acids from touching the tender stomach lining, causing an ulcer. Second, the protease inhibitor found in bananas appears to kill the harmful bacteria that help to cause ulcers. <br />

</div>Bananas also contain electrolytes, which are essential for maintaining fluid levels and preventing dehydration. 30% of your DV of vitamin B6 is provided by one banana. B6 keeps your nervous system in top working condition and boosting immunity. Folate is also in bananas, which is needed for proper tissue growth, and can protect against birth defects, heart disease, and cancer.<br />
To keep your bananas fresh, you should keep them out at room temperature. If you are waiting for green bananas to ripen you can speed up the process by putting them in a brown paper bag at room temperature. If bananas are not to your liking, you can mash them up and add them to a variety of recipes from meatloaf to casseroles, the taste of the dish will be slightly sweetened but without the direct taste of the banana. So buy a bunch today and help to save your life!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9018044721345923937.post-87867657731796456152009-10-09T01:05:00.000-07:002009-10-13T23:58:18.738-07:00My Home Made Baby Food<b>My Dad's Baby Food Recipe?</b><br />
Since I started drinking formula milk, my parents were loyal to one brand. When I started eating soft food, they were giving me the same brand. Now that I'm already a big baby, my dad and mom started to feed me fruits, vegetables, meat and rice. Since I can't chew, they had to soften it for me before I eat them. This morning dad gave me something to eat. Here is my story:<br />

I few days ago I woke up having a swollen upper left eyelid. Mom and dad were furious because they thought a cockroach had bitten my eyelid. They searched the room like CSI investigators and when they saw one cockroach, they mutilated it to death. My eyelid swell bigger in the afternoon. Since it was a weekend, My doctor has no clinic. Dad researched on possible causes and remedies in his computer. They also consulted with grandma and my aunts. They came up with the decision that if the swelling continues for another day, they will bring me to the hospital.<br />

The thing is, I only have a swollen upper eyelid. My eye is perfectly okay and clear. My dad keeps on checking on my eye and he says its normal and not reddish. Since it seem that my eyes were okay and clean, dad and mom didn't panic anymore. On their research, it must be bacterial infection or something. One home remedy widely suggested was to do a cold ice compress on top of my swollen eyelid. I didn't like the feeling so I kept on pushing the hand of dad. But he persisted more. He did the ice thing three times during that day and the following day. On the evening of the second day my swollen upper left eyelid began to subside. On the third day, the swelling was very little.<br />
Yesterday, dad washed most of our pillow cases and blankets. It took him three hours to wash my pillow cases and blankets. I love my dad.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9018044721345923937.post-24967368797922965812009-10-08T18:24:00.000-07:002009-10-08T18:26:44.757-07:00Baby Rashes After High Fever<b>Baby Rashes After high Fever</b><br />

Right after my high fever, small spots suddenly appeared. First on my forehead and neck, then at my back, chest and soon after a few more hours those spots were found all over my body. It was called roseola. It appears right after a high fever particularly in babies like me. Since mom and dad were already warned that this may happen, they were not alarmed that much. After two days, the small red spots were gone. During this time my dad gave me fast bathing less than 3 minutes in lukewarm water.<br />

I just found out that I was not born a superman and as human as all babies out there. I had high fever last September. Here's the story. Dad had to go to work. He wanted to bring me because he was going to a meeting where most are women. And so we went. However, while on the road, it rained hard. We were inside the taxi when it started. Dad had an umbrella but it was not enough to cover us from the rain. At the office where the meeting took place were 6 women. They were so amused upon seeing me that their attention was suddenly focused on me. Dad was talking to the boss while I was playing with the women. I was passed from one woman to another. I made them all very happy especially when I gave them a killer smile. After the meeting, the rain also stopped. Dad flagged a taxi and we went home. <script type="text/javascript">

And then it happened. By 1:00am I felt so hot. My face was so hot. My head was very hot. My whole body was burning hot! I was screaming in tears. I cannot explain how it was. Dad felt guilty. It is always good to have a thermometer at home because mom placed it in my armpit and clipped my arm towards my body lightly. After a few minutes it sounded and there it was, 39degrees. Dad prepared a not so cold water for me to take bath at 2:00am! It was like 5cups of cold water and 1cup of hot water. Mom and dad gave me a quick bath, less than 3 minutes I think. I felt a little better after the bath. I wasn't able to sleep though, and so did mom and dad.<br />
In the morning, dad went to buy some paracetamol syrup. At this time, my grandma from the province came. She instructed mom and dad what to do. During the period of high fever, I always had this cold wet towel in my forehead and at the back of my neck. Grandma said that to keep the body temperature when having high fever still, always put cold compress at the back of the neck and at the forehead. My fever lasted for 3 days. During this time I had so many water and paracetamol. Every hour I was given my bottle of water. I was only sipping little every time that is why they are always giving me water. <br />
This is my tip to mommys and daddys:<br />
1. Always check the temperature of you baby. Every hour if you can. If it reaches 39 or 40 every time. Better bring your baby to the hospital.<br />
2. Always let your baby drink water.<br />
3. Paracetamol syrup comes in handy. Be sure to give your baby medicine with the right schedule.<br />
4. Give your baby a cold bath to lessen the hot feeling.<br />
5. Cold compress in the forehead and back of the neck.<br />
6. comfortable clothes.<br />
7. Always hold your baby, show him/her care. It will greatly increase the healing effect of your baby.<br />
I hope my experience will help parents decide when their baby also has high fever.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9018044721345923937.post-86590477771677663572009-10-07T23:26:00.000-07:002009-10-09T01:32:53.495-07:00What a boring dayI woke up this morning at about 6:30am. Mom asked dad to prepare me some milk. Dad heeded and gave me my lukewarm bottle of milk. I drank it all. By 7am I slept again. I woke up 8:30. Mom was cooking and dad was at his computer. By 9am, I ate my breakfast. At 10am, I drank water and at 11:30 i drank milk. By 1pm I ate again and at this time while dad is at his computer, I'm again sleepy. I can't blame myself. It's raining outside and the cold wind just keeps me yawning.<br />

</div>Dad bought me small plastic balls weeks ago. It was colored red and yellow and blue. He was showing it to me then started to roll it over his palm. I was curious. I tried to reach for it and he let me tough the ball. I tried to hold but it was slipping of my hand so Mommy got my hand, opened my palms then placed the ball. I was able to feel and touch the ball. Then dropped it again. Dad picked it up then played with the ball and placed it in my hand. I dropped it again. I did this so many times but they just kept putting the ball to my hand. I had fun looking at dad picking up the ball every time I drop it. Now I love playing with the small plastic balls. I love throwing them around and look at mom or dad to pick them up.I think the plastic balls are cheap, but its okay. What matters is that mom and dad play the balls with me. Sometimes dad throws it up somewhere that I can't see. Dad forgot that I'm a baby, I cannot flexibly move my neck upwards to see the ball. Mom had to remind dad.<br />
