“Are you teaching your baby to sign?”, “Are you going to use sign language with your baby?”, “My baby knows over 50 signs already, and she’s only 10 months! Are you teaching Evalee sign language?”. These are just a few examples of what I was subjected to when I was pregnant and after I had my daughter Evalee. Honestly, I didn’t know there was such as thing as baby sign language until I got pregnant. The idea sounded intriguing… so I did some research and purchased a few books. I have “Baby Sign Language Basics, Early Communication for Hearing Babies & Toddlers” by Monta Z. Briant, “Teach Your Tot to Sign - The Parent’s Guide to American Sign Language” by Stacy A. Thompson and the children’s board book “My First Signs” by Annie Kubler. I thumbed through them a bit before she was born and started to use some basic signs like milk, more, eat & sleep when she was around 6 months or so. Evalee really took to the board book with its wonderful illustrations. If I had to recommend one book that would be it.

Evalee is now 19 months and uses only a few signs. Her catalog consists of milk, more, eat, cookie, out, mommy, dog, book, water, please & thank you. I was excited about it at first, to be able to communicate with her as early as 10 or 11 months was great. Lately I’ve been questioning my decision to teach her sign. I realize all kids develop at their own speed but she isn’t talking as much as her peers. She seems to rely on the signs a lot, so much so that I have yet to hear her say “Mommy”. Otherwise, she points and grunts. This may be a result of being home with me all the time and not in daycare or around other toddlers much. I try to set up play dates, but it doesn’t happen as often as I would like. I’m not necessarily worried or concerned, I know her hearing is perfect, it would just be nice to hear “Mommy”. Is that selfish?

I remember speaking with a friend a while back about her daughter who was a few months old at the time and asked if they were considering using sign and she said no. Her reason being that a member of her family used sign language with their child, who was over 2, and she wasn’t speaking much at all. The funny thing is, all advocates of baby sign language argue that babies are prone to talking sooner when exposed to sign language, which was one of my main reasons for teaching Evalee to sign.

On the flip side, both my brother-in-law and cousin-in-law have used sign with their children and both kids are speaking really well for their age. Sarah will be 2 in March and speaks very well and Carson is 2 & a half and you can have a full conversation with him. Who knows, right?

Overall, I’m glad I have some signs as a means of communicating with Evalee and I have to say she is developing by leaps and bounds in other areas, her physicality is amazing. I would love to hear from other parents about their experience with this…

Playing outdoors is a favorite childhood pastime for many of us. However, with the proliferation of video games, home computers, and the Internet in recent times, many parents of small children find it difficult to get their kids outside to play - but they should try. There is no substitute for outdoor play.

Playing outdoors will not only help keep your child physically fit and ensure that he or she gets much needed exercise, it has also been proven to affect a child’s cognitive development and may help improve your child’s ability to learn, understand, and be creative. However, while going to public parks, riding bikes, playing baseball and other outdoor activities are lots of fun for kids, they usually require an adult to transport and supervise the play. What’s more, in today’s busy world, it can be difficult for working parents to find the time to their engage kids in fun outdoor activities, and even if they do find the time, it is often a task unto itself to get them to leave the house.
What is the solution? Add a swing set to your backyard and get your children off the Internet and out in the sunshine. Bringing the simple fun of the public park into your own backyard makes it easy for your children to enjoy outdoor play and get a little exercise, all while under your supervision. Once you choose and install your swing set, see how your children take to it - if they enjoy it, and you find that they are spending more time outdoors as a result, consider adding more equipment to your backyard playground one by one. This is a practical and economical way to test the waters before spending a fortune on a playground set that your children will never use.

Swinging Safely

Now that you have decided to add a swing set to your backyard, you want to make sure it is safe for your children to play on it, and the most important factor is education. True, there are certain things to consider when choosing a swing, such as making sure it is made of a soft material like rubber rather than metal or wood, either of which can make an accidental collision painful.

Once you choose the right swing, the next step is to educate your kids on how to use it. Unfortunately, it is all too common for children to injure themselves on a swing, and, although nothing is ever 100% fool proof, you can take a few simple precautions to reduce the possibility that your child will sustain an injury. These precautions include: showing your child how to sit properly in the swing and grasp the ropes with both hands to balance themselves, teaching your child to stay a fair distance from other swings in motion as to avoid a collision with the swing or a another child, and teaching your child to bring the swing to a complete stop before getting off slowly.

Start with a swing set, teach your child swing set safety, and see how it goes. You may be pleasantly surprised to learn that your kids love playing outdoors now that you have made it so convenient, and if not, at least you didn’t waste a bunch of money on an entirely new backyard playground.

As a parent, you may have to travel with your baby on short and long trips. This would means taking your baby away from cozy, familiar surroundings in to new places with which your baby is not familiar. This can turn out to be a stressful experience for you as well as for your baby.

While traveling with your baby, plan early. Gather as much information as possible and try to cut down the inevitable uncertainties that go with any most travel plans and get ready to solve any problem while traveling with baby.

These simple guidelines can make travel an enjoyable and pleasant experience for yourself and fun for your baby:

–Try to plan your trip well in advance. This will minimize hassles such as arrangements for boarding, lodging, destination breaks etc.

–Make a checklist of the baby items you will need to carry with you on the trip and stock up on these in advance.

–Carry diapers and wipes. You may need more of these than you think.

–Have a back up plan in place, in case you are not able to stick to the original arrangements you made while planning the trip.

–Schedule your trip to avoid inconvenient travel timings. Your baby will be most comfortable when its routine feeding, sleeping and waking time is only minimally disturbed.

–Avoid traveling to destinations where medical help may not be readily available.

–Avoid long-drawn out trips. Try to stick to the most comfortable modes of travel available.

–If possible, avoid traveling with your baby to places you are not familiar with.

Childhood disintegrative disorder is a severe loss of social, communication and other skills classified in a group of disorders called “Pervasive Developmental Disorders.” Onset is usually after the age of four. The signs and symptoms are similar to autism, although autism usually occurs at an earlier age and is more common.

Pervasive developmental disorders include:

–Childhood disintegrative disorder
–Autism
–Asperger’s syndrome
–Rett syndrome
–Pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified

A Viennese educator, Theodor Heller, first described the condition. Childhood disintegrative disorder is also known as Heller’s syndrome after Theodor Heller.

Signs and symptoms of childhood disintegrative disorder include:

–Normal development for at least the first two years of life
–Significant loss of previously acquired or learned skills before age 10 in at least two of the following areas:

1.-ability to say words or sentences
2.-ability to understand verbal and nonverbal communication
3.-social skills and self-care skills
4.-bowel and bladder control
5.-play skills
6.-motor skills (ability to voluntarily move the body in a purposeful way)

The lack of impairment occurs in at least two of the following areas:

1.-social interaction
2.-communication
3.-repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behavior, interests and activities

Childhood disintegrative disorder may occur abruptly over the course of days to weeks or gradually over an extended period of time. There is seldom found an underlying medical or neurological cause.

Further research is difficult due to the limited number of children diagnosed with childhood disintegrative disorder, although more research is needed at this time. Experts suspect there may be a genetic basis or that an autoimmune response plays a role in the development of childhood disintegrative disorder.

Treatment

Treatment for childhood disintegrative disorder is about the same as for autism; there is no cure for this disorder. Treatment may include:

–Medications: There are no medications specifically to treat childhood disintegrative disorder. Severe behavior problems like aggression and repetitive movements can sometimes be controlled by antipsychotic medications.

–Behavior therapy may be used by psychologists, speech therapists, physical therapists and occupational therapists, parents, teachers and caregivers.

Prognosis for children with childhood disintegrative disorder is usually poor and worse than for children with autism. Children with this disorder often need residential care in a group home or long term care facility.

It is sometimes difficult to know exactly when to call the doctor if your baby seems sick or even when to seek emergency care. Babies cannot tell us when something hurts.

Some specific signs that may require a call to your doctor include:

–Changes in appetite
–Changes in mood
–Changes in skin color
–Tender navel or penis
–Fever
–Diarrhea
–Vomiting
–Dehydration
–Constipation
–Upper respiratory infections
–Ear pain
–Rash
–Eye discharge
–Minor injuries

Signs and symptoms that require emergency care include:

–Bleeding that can’t be stopped
–Poisoning
–Seizures
–Trouble breathing
–High fever
–Head injuries
–Sudden lethargy or inability to move
–Choking
–Unresponsiveness

Constipation:

Infants who have not had a bowel movement in three days are most likely constipated. Infants usually pass about four stools a day. Breast-fed infants have even more bowel movements than formula-fed infants.

What to do about infant constipation:

–0 - 2 months: Call your doctor for advice
–2+ months: Give the infant 2-4 ounces of water twice a day. If constipation does not improve, try 2-4 ounces of fruit juice - such as grape, pear, apple, cherry or prune - twice a day.
–4+ months: If already eating solid foods, feed him or her baby food that is high in fiber such as peas, beans, apricots, prunes, peaches, pears, plums or spinach twice a day until constipation improves.

Never give mineral oil, stimulant laxatives or enemas to infants.

Infant constipation is rarely due to an underlying condition. It usually occurs with the transition from breast milk to formula or from strained foods to table foods. However, if constipation persists, call your doctor.

Cradle cap is another common condition in babies. Cradle cap can usually be prevented by shampooing your baby’s hair every few days with a mild baby shampoo.

Cradle cap causes scaly patches on a baby’s scalp; however, cradle cap is quite harmless. It looks awful, but it is harmless. The patches may be thick, yellow, crusty or greasy. It is most common in newborns, and often clears up on its own within a few months.

You can wash your baby’s hair once a day with mild baby shampoo, and loosen the scales with a small, soft-bristled brush before rinsing off the shampoo. If the scales do not loosen easily, rub a few drops of mineral oil onto your baby’s scalp. When the oil soaks into the scales after a few minutes, then brush and shampoo your baby’s hair as usual. Do not leave the oil in your baby’s hair; it may allow more scales to accumulate.

Time to call your doctor is if frequent shampooing does not help or the scaly patches spread beyond baby’s scalp. Older babies may require a prescription antifungal shampoo if they acquire scalp ringworm infections. Scalp ringworm infections resemble cradle cap and would require calling your doctor for specific advice.

Are you trying to decide whether or not to have your baby boy circumcised? Circumcision is fairly common in the United States. It involves the surgical removal of the skin covering the tip of the penis. For some parents, circumcision is a religious ritual. For other parents circumcision is to help with personal hygiene or preventive health care. Still yet other parents feel the procedure seems unnecessary.

In this article, review the pros and cons of having your baby boy circumcised. There are benefits and negatives to the procedure. The American Academy of Pediatrics says the benefits are not strong enough to recommend routine circumcision for all male newborns. The decision is left up to the parents. They also support use of pain relief for infants who have the procedure.
The benefits of circumcision may include:

–Easier hygiene: Circumcision may make it easier to wash the penis. It is simple to clean an uncircumcised penis as well.
–Decreased risk of urinary tract infections: Risk of urinary tract infections in the first year may be decreased. Urinary tract infections may be up to 10 times as common in uncircumcised baby boys. Severe urinary tract infections early in life can lead to kidney problems later on.
–Decreased risk of penile cancer: Cancer of the penis is very rare. It is less common in circumcised men.
–Decreased risk of sexually transmitted diseases: Circumcised men may have a slightly lower risk of certain sexually transmitted diseases that includes HIV which causes AIDS, and HPV which causes genital warts.

The negatives of circumcision may include:
–Surgical risks: Excessive bleeding and infection are uncommon, but possible. Foreskin may be cut too short or too long to heal properly. Sometimes the remaining foreskin reattaches to the end of the penis and minor surgery may be needed to correct it.
–Pain: Circumcision is painful. Local anesthesia blocks nerve sensations during the procedure.
–Permanence: After the circumcision it may be impossible to re-create the appearance of an uncircumcised penis
–Expense: Insurance companies may not cover the cost of circumcision.

Circumcision care:

It takes about seven to 10 days for the penis to heal. There may be a noticeable yellowish mucus or crust. A small amount of bleeding is common the first day or two. Daily care includes:

–Washing the penis as it heals
–Change the bandage with each diaper change
–Apply a small amount of petroleum jelly to the tip of the penis so it won’t stick to baby’s diaper.

Although problems after circumcision are rare, you should call your doctor if:

–Baby does not urinate normally within six to eight hours after the circumcision
–Persistent bleeding or redness around the tip of the penis
–Tip of penis is swollen
–You suspect an infection. An infection may manifest as a foul-smelling drainage from the tip of the penis, or crusted sores filled with fluid.

There are several strains of bacteria that can cause bacterial meningitis. Several routine childhood immunizations like Haemophilus influenzae type B and pneumococcal protect against many types of bacteria that can cause meningitis. If your infant is exposed to bacterial meningitis and is current on all of his immunizations which includes the flu shots the infant may not need an additional meningitis vaccine. To be certain, check with your doctor.

Bacterial meningitis is an infection of the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. It can be very serious and sometimes even deadly. By keeping your infant up-to-date on immunizations, you are protecting him or her against bacterial meningitis.

For children ages 11 or 12 a vaccine against bacterinum Neisseria meningitides, which is a common cause of bacterial meningitis is routinely recommended. The vaccine can also be given to younger children at high risk of bacterial meningitis or who have been exposed to the disease.

Antibiotics are helpful in reducing, but do not eliminate, the risk of developing bacterial meningitis if you know or suspect your child has been exposed. You can talk to your doctor about preventative antibiotics.

Seek urgent medical care if your child becomes ill after exposure to bacterial meningitis even if the child has taken antibiotics.
Symptoms of meningitis in infants include:

–Excessive irritability or sleepiness
–Constant crying and poor eating

It is crucial to receive a prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment of bacterial meningitis to prevent serious complications from the disease.

Many people often also wonder if children really need a flu shot. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does recommend the flu vaccine for children who are at increased risk of complications from influenza. A child at risk includes:

–Children between the ages of 6 months and 59 months
–Children who have a chronic medical condition like asthma, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, sickle cell anemia, HIV/AIDS or kidney disease

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also recommends the flu vaccine for all caregivers, household contacts, and siblings of children in the high-risk groups to reduce a child’s potential exposure to the influenza virus.

If your child is younger than 9 years of age he or she will require two doses of the flu vaccine one month apart. Only one dose does not provide adequate protection. Before flu season is best time to receive a flu shot.

The fact that babies are the cutest and most precious things in the universe can generally be agreed to by everyone on the planet. I have yet to meet a new parent or grandparent who does not want to immediately begin taking pictures of their bundle of joy. Why then, is there usually such a HUGE discrepancy between a really cute baby and a truly mediocre picture of the really cute baby?

Some parents go their entire life without ever capturing stunning baby pictures. And by “stunning,” I don’t mean one taken at a professional photography studio. A stunning baby picture is one that captures the true essence of the baby. For a parent or grandparent to never capture that Over the Mantel photograph, is truly a shame because it really IS NOT that difficult, once you know how!

Like everything else in life, knowing a few key ideas and seeing some examples, makes a world of difference. Let’s begin with some tips for taking stunning pictures of a newborn infant - through 3 months of age.

Baby Poses: 0 - 3 Months

Think of this period in your baby’s photographic life as the molding stage. Like Gumby, you can pretty much place the baby in any position you want. No guarantees how long they will stay there, but if you have all the camera details worked out beforehand, you can position & shoot pretty quickly. (If someone else is posing the baby while you are already in the perfect camera position, so much the better.)

This is the time to capture those adorable little Baby Bits. They will never look cuter than at this age! To view the images described in this article, click here. These images demonstrate some key points:

• At this age especially, baby feet (or hands, eyes, noses, etc.) alone can make a wonderful photograph. Use your camera’s macro setting and/or crop carefully.

• Just because you start with a color image, does not mean you have to end up with one. Black & White images can create quite an impact. Check your camera and photo-imaging software for ways to make the transition from color to black & white fairly easy.

• When you add a parent’s hand(s) or face to the picture, an entirely different effect is created.

Play with Perspective

As far as infants, forget what you’ve always done and try something different. For example, get at eye-level with a sleeping baby, but position yourself at their feet. Then focus on the feet while the head is still in the frame, but looking small and further away. As stated above, the images will make this clearer.

Believe it or not, you could easily take 100 photographs of a sleeping baby, and never take 2 that are identical. An outstanding photographic exercise would be to snap off 50 images, each one from a different angle and perspective; using different focus points and aperture settings. Don’t worry; you won’t run out of ideas! The huge advantage of digital photography is the ability to take tons of photos and delete the ones you don’t like. This allows great creative liberties.

Once you begin to think about photographing babies in a unique way, all sorts of new posing ideas will emerge. I’ll guess that most people never use the macro setting on their camera. And, if they do, it’s only for small objects, insects, or flowers. However, for something different, use the macro setting and focus on a small distinctive area of your baby, such as the face.

With the use of a tripod, focus solely on the eye, thus pushing the nose and everything else out of focus. Experiment with how tight a crop is necessary to produce the desired effect. This can produce an almost mesmerizing effect. Although more challenging with babies, it is possible (and very dramatic) to catch the reflection of an object in the baby’s eye. For that type of image, an extreme crop would be optimal.

Judging by the vast number of baby name websites, people take the subject of naming their baby very seriously, which is as it should be. After all, their name stays with them their whole life usually, so best get it right!

The problem is, if you choose your baby name according to the meaning given in a typical ‘list of baby name meanings’ or in a baby name book, you are not given the personality traits of that name, just a very brief general description, sometimes this can be just one word. For instance, look up the meaning of the name Emma, and you will be told this name means ‘all-containing’ and ‘universal’. Look up the name Paul in these lists and most come back with the meaning ’small’ or ‘little’. Ok! You are none the wiser about your child-to-be based on that! My opinion is that the lists provide invaluable inspiration by giving you a wide choice of names, but that is all.

However there is a scientific system that used to be used in ancient Egyptian times and in Hebrew countries, for the naming of the Royal Children. This system ensured that they would be given positive names that would help them have a happy, well-balanced life. This ancient system reveals the full personality traits of any name and also looks at the meaning of the individual letters of a name. According to this system, the letters in our name affect what happens to us in our lives, for better or worse, according to whether a letter is positive or negative.

With this system of Name Analysis you would learn that the name Paul indicates a love of justice, someone who will fight other people’s battles. It also indicates relationship problems, and suggests a person with too much nervous energy. These are just a few of the many qualities indicated with the name Paul, to give you an idea about how names affect our personality.

The letter P in Paul indicates 7 years of power and success at various ages (these can be exactly pinpointed in an analysis reading) with the possibility of ruin and bankruptcy also with this letter if they are not careful with their finances. The letter U brings 3 years of emotional and/or financial losses every 11 years.

The letter E in Emma brings 5 years of extremes at certain ages, and the M’s bring change, sometimes very sudden change.

Look up the name Harry on most lists and it will give the baby name meaning as ‘home ruler’ or something similar. How does that help you decide if that is the right name for your baby?! According to the ancient system of name analysis, the name Harry totals a positive number that gives leadership ability, excellent communication skills, strength of character and determination. Ideal careers include the armed forces, which is interesting when you look at Prince Harry’s current career path, in the army. (This is just a small selection of the traits of that name). Even more interesting is the fact that the name William totals the same number…

However, the letters in the name Harry are a bit of a mixture of negative and positive. The H brings 8 years of stress and strain at various ages (initially from birth up to the age of 8), the 2 R’s indicate 18 years of being very busy, active, rushing around a lot (initially from the age of 9 till 27) and the Y indicates 7 years of success at various times, initially at the age of 27 to 34. So, if you are thinking about the name Harry for your baby, it is important that your surname has positive letters to counteract the negative letters in Harry.

So, as you can see, there is a lot more to baby name meanings than most people are aware of! The name you give your little one will have a massive impact - it will affect not only their personality but also it will determine the events in your child’s life.
