Can You Gender Test Your Unborn Child?
By Ian Dennis
With only a few drops of your maternal blood you can find out
if baby’s sex is male or female. And you can do it as early as
five weeks after conception with the newest technology in the
area.
The technology has been tested for the last 14 years - and it
works! I am amazed that it is possible. When I was pregnant the
last time I got the test – which was very easy to understand and
perform. The result came within less than 48 hours, and my
husband and I was very happy to learn that I was carrying a baby
girl. Our two sons were delighted about their baby sister to
come. When the baby girl was born, we had made everything ready
for her. No worries about getting pink or blue clothes.
The test is done with cutting-edge, patent-pending technology
to attain the earliest gender detection with unprecedented
sensitivity and unsurpassed accuracy.
The technique traces the amount of active genetic fetal
chromosomal DNA in the maternal blood to determine gender. It is
proven, well-documented scientific fact that your baby releases
its DNA into your blood plasma. In a lab it is possible to
determine fetus-originated-specific chromosome sequence detected
in the maternal blood stream.
If there is fetus-originated Y-specific chromosome sequence
detected in your blood, you are currently carrying at least one
baby boy.
If fetus-originated X-specific chromosome sequence is detected
in your blood, you are currently carrying at least one baby
girl.
If there is a substantial amount fetus-originated Y-specific
chromosome sequence detectable in your sample, indicating that
you are carrying at least one baby boy and there is a
substantial amount of fetus-originated X-specific chromosome
sequence detected in your blood, indicating that you are
carrying at least one baby girl. Then you are currently carrying
at least one baby girl and boy at this time.

Ten Tips For A Super Summer With Your Baby
Ten Tips For A Super Summer With Your Baby
By Paula Dennholt
Summer time and the living is easy...
Or is it?
Here are some useful tips to help you have a really great
summer with your baby.
1) The sun
Stay out of it. Or at least make sure your baby stays out of
the sun. Baby skin is very delicate and can't handle the sun's
rays. Keep your baby in the shadow and protect him with clothes
and hats. Sunscreen cream is really a last resort solution, as
it can contain harmful substances.
2) Hydration
Make sure you or your baby doesn't get dehydrated. If you only
breastfeed, consider feeding your baby a bit more often than
usual if it is very hot. And make sure you drink a lot of water,
to stimulate milk production (and to feel good yourself). If
your baby has started to eat solid food, offer water also
between meals.
3) The heat
If your baby sleeps in a stroller or car seat, check often how
warm he is. Both a stroller and a car seat can become very hot.
You might even want to consider buying a thermometer and put it
into the stroller, especially if your baby is really young.
Babies younger than 4 months, are at the highest risk for SIDS
(Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) and being over heated is one
possible cause.
4) Bugs
A mosquito net both for the stroller and the travel crib, if
you use one, is very practical. This way you can be pretty sure
that flies, wasps and other unpleasant guests can't reach your
baby. Some mosquito nets contain sun screen - great, although
you still can't place your baby in direct sun light, of course.
5) Daylight
In many places, summer means a lot more daylight. Sunny
evenings, sunny mornings - and in worst case a baby that
believes that 5 am is the time to get out of bed. Hey mom, the
sun's up, why aren't we...?
To prevent this, make sure your baby's bedroom is as dark as
possible. Give your baby plenty of fresh air and stimulation
during daytime, to make sure that he is really tired at night.
And if nothing helps - take turns with your spouse to get up
early and try to think ´positive. If it wasn't for your little
darling, you'd never see those beautiful dawns, right? Yawn!
6) Bathing
If you want your baby to have some fun in the water, go a head!
Many babies get crazy with happiness when splashing the water.
Just remember to let your baby decide if he wants to just dip
his toes or have a real bath. If the water is colder than 90 F
(32 C), your baby should not swim only splash; it is simply too
cold for his little body.
If you’re going to swim in a pool, consider smearing your baby
with baby oil before bathing. The chlorine in the water can
really make both your and your baby's skin dry. But remember,
your baby will become very slippery, so be careful!
7) Enjoy the green world
Unless your baby is newborn, he is likely to find leaves,
flower and grass very exiting. Let him touch the grass with his
hands and feet and smell the flowers. Even lying on his back
watching the leaves sway above his head while you take a walk
can be great fun for a baby.
8) Diapers off
Let your baby spend time without his diapers as much as
possible. This is great for his skin and prevents diaper rash
that might develop from using moist, warm diapers all day long.
Let your baby lie on a towel in the grass (in the shadow) and
just enjoy the summer breeze.
9) Food storage
With warm weather comes bacteria growth. If your baby has
started to eat solid foods, make sure that you serve your baby
fresh foods. Throw away anything that seems suspicious and don't
store food for more that a day or so.
10) Breastfeeding in public
Summer often means more time outside and away from home.
Practice your breastfeeding skills so that you feel comfortable
with breastfeeding in public. Buy some really good nursing tops
and bras and try to teach your baby to breastfeed under a
blanket. This way you can breastfeed almost anywhere.
Have a great summer with your baby!

The Care Of Baby Teeth: What A Parent Should Know
The Care Of Baby Teeth: What A Parent Should Know
By Peyton Hines
Of course, with your newborn, you won't be worrying about tooth
care. However, as your child gets older, you'll want to know
how to take care of your older baby's or toddler's teeth.
Caring for a baby's or toddler's teeth can be challenging, but
it's still important. Here are some tips you should follow.
When new teeth come in
As any new parent knows, by the time a baby is just a few
months old, he or she may be cutting a first tooth. This is
where the care of baby teeth starts. First of all, to help the
baby teethe, you can purchase specially made teething rings that
usually can be put in the freezer and made cold and hard.
Babies love to chew on these, since they help ease the pain and
also help new teeth break through the gums.
Oftentimes, children get slight colds or runny noses during the
teething process. If this happens, or if your child is running
a slight fever, you can wipe the child with a damp washcloth to
make him or her feel better. If the fever persists, make sure
to contact your pediatrician or other health care professional
to see what interventions you might do. For example, you might
be able to give the child a little baby Tylenol or some other
type of pain reliever. This will not only help fever go down,
but it will also help ease the teething pain.
Once your child has a few teeth, you can begin to introduce him
or her to proper oral hygiene. For very, very small babies with
few or no teeth, a warm, clean, wet washcloth rubbed on gums may
be enough to help keep the mouth clean. Of course, always put
your child to bed with only a bottle of water, no milk or juice.
Once your child is a bit older, you'll want to begin to
introduce him or her to brushing teeth. At first, do this
yourself with a soft brush and a little baby tooth paste.
Brushing your child's teeth while he or she is still young will
help him or her get used to the process.
Of course, once your child gets older, around the age of five
or six, the baby teeth will start to fall out and adult teeth
will start to come in. Once this begins to happen, remember to
make it fun and exciting. Of course, children usually like this
process, because the tooth fairy visits and they get a little
spending money for their trouble. Make sure to make the process
even easier by providing soft foods if the child has trouble
chewing after he or she loses the tooth.
With a little luck and some planning, your child's teeth will
take him or her to adulthood healthy and strong. Good oral
hygiene is a must for this, so start early by both practicing
good hygiene and taking the child to the dentist for regular
visits.

Baby Scrapbooking Ideas: Creating The Perfect Album
Baby Scrapbooking Ideas: Creating The Perfect Album
By Michelle Cardello
Two important baby scrapbook ideas to bear in mind are physical
changes and milestones. First smiles, first roll over and crawl,
first words and gestures are all priceless and need to be
recorded quickly before the infant advances to toddler hood
(which could be a whole other scrapbook and will happen in what
will appear to be the blink of an eye)!
Here are some baby scrapbook ideas, which will help you
organize your material.
1. Begin the baby scrapbook journey during your pregnancy.
Start with photos from baby showers and early ultrasounds.
Include doctor’s visits and the actual delivery day. What was
the weather like? Anything else special happen on that day? (Of
course, there couldn’t be anything more special than baby’s
arrival into the world.) Who was present at the birth? Doctors,
nurses, visitors? Record it for all time in your baby scrapbook.
2. Focus on the first year of life.
Some things should be written down for the sake of posterity,
like weight and length at birth for example. You might also want
to include color of eyes and hair, time of birth, doctor’s name
and how long you were in labor. Other baby scrapbook ideas will
come to you as you progress in your project such as perhaps, the
price of gas, houses and cars at the time of birth and
information on the family tree.
3. Use photos to indicate milestones.
Take photos every day of the first month of life and then once
a month next to a large stuffed animal. Keep a list of events
connected to each month until the baby is a year old. Take
pictures of different looks and moods; happiness, sadness and
don’t forget the most adorable moments of sleeping time. Don’t
be afraid to take too many pictures, as that can never happen in
the endless search for baby scrapbook ideas.
4. The baby scrapbook must reflect emotion.
You want to smile and maybe even cry whenever you look at your
baby scrapbook. The way to insure this is to pick those topics
to write about that cannot help but evoke special feelings even
when viewed years later. Some baby scrapbooking ideas might
include: how the baby got his or her name, what does the name
mean, how often did he or she cry, where did he or she sleep,
did the baby sleep through the night and how did the little one
react around people? Have other close relatives and friends
write their feelings about these events on a special page
designated for this purpose.
5. Decorate your baby scrapbook with items that are
baby-related.
Although this may seem obvious, it’s still a good baby
scrapbooking idea to keep in mind while trying to capture as
many feelings and memories about past happiness. Use stickers
and ribbons. Keep trinkets and mementos, even things like
wrapping paper from special presents. Capture all these moments
of baby’s first year with pictures and journaling. One baby
scrapbooking idea for use of ribbons could involve cutting a
journaling block into strips and then tying a ribbon in a bow to
the left end of the first strip, then the right end of the
second strip etc. Still another effective baby scrapbooking idea
for ribbon might involve scraps, which could be made into bows
and used to cover a spiral binding.
Don’t forget real mementos, such as a clip of hair from baby’s
first haircut and also famous quotes and sayings about babies
and babyhood might be appropriate as headings or captions on the
different pages. The world of literature is your source
material. Try to choose selections that are not so common. It
may take a little research but this is one baby scrapbooking
idea that is sure to pay off at the end.
Your baby will only be an infant for a moment in time. Capture
it for always with a memorable baby scrapbook. Use these baby
scrapbooking ideas, and as you do you will certainly come up
with ideas of your own. But hurry. Time’s a wasting!

Baby Shower Centrepieces - Cunning Beats Creativity
Baby Shower Centrepieces - Cunning Beats Creativity
By Gracie May
So many ideas for baby shower centrepieces can leave you in a
turmoil not knowing what to pick to display on the day.
Centrepieces used for baby showers were traditionally flower
arrangements. Floral pieces on show would come beautifully
arranged in a basket or a crystal holder.
Remember the theme for the baby shower when choosing what
flowers to have for the centrepiece. A good idea is to try
blending in personal items in and around the arrangement. Colour
is another important factor we don't want the table laden with
pastel lemons and whites only to throw in a big red bloom.
Another issue to focus on is selecting the right flowers.
Flowers are one of natures beauty alongside your newborn,
blossoms picked by you for the baby shower will enhance the
occasion with an essence so sweet filling the air.
Personal items for the flower basket centrepiece can include
baby novelties like cuddly toys these can be bears and bunnies
to baby clothes.
Have you considered preparing and making up your own baby
shower centrepiece, if this is out of your league then buy one,
expect to pay approx 35 pounds upwards all depending on the
design and content i.e. whatever goodies you choose to place
inside the basket.
Baby shower centrepieces can come in edible form such as a baby
showers cake. If a diaper cake is your decoration for the middle
of the table then you have to remember these are not for
consumption. Diaper cake is actually made up of diaper/nappies.
It is a fabulous and practical idea for a baby shower
centrepiece.
Another tip and cost effective for a centrepiece is to place a
plant on display not only does this do the trick but you get to
keep the plant for a long while after.
Try placing some baby extras around the pot like baby linen,
towels what ever you feel is best suited.
It has been known that fishbowls have been used to decorate the
table at baby showers, floating candles, beads or flower petals
were added to spice up the look.
Liven up the occasion with colour add balloons they are cheap
and ideal for the baby shower party.
Try tying a few brightly coloured bows around cuddly toys. Silk
flowers scattered around a neat tower of baby linen or candles
encompassed by baby soaps and smellies. Do be careful with
candles.
Creativity creates a more exciting centre piece I hear, I don't
think so not if you are on a budget.
If you are struggling to meet the cost of a baby shower
centrepiece then cunning it has to be. Here is how it is done
spruce up the table with more colour by adding floating
balloons, action the whole content of the table with so many
different little gifts brightly gift wrapped. And a definite
guarantee to distract eye contact away from the non absent
centrepiece is to place plates of cream filled cakes here and
there; the centrepiece will not even be missed.

Baby Cot – And Good Parenting
Baby Cot – And Good Parenting
By NamSing Then
Is there any pleasant sight than seeing a just-awakened baby
after a good sound sleep? With the correct choice of the baby
cot and a vigilant eye, can’t we ensure our babies to have a
safe and sound sleep? Of course, yes, why not.
Often when babies are put to sleep, into a cradle or a cot, you
feel relaxed, and try to make optimum use of that time doing
some work or relaxing. In this situation, you should be
extremely careful so that accidents related to baby cots are
avoided. Never let the baby out of your sight.
Choosing a good baby cot
We have the liberty of choosing the baby cots as per our choice
and safety of our baby, since wide ranges of Baby cots are
available nowadays.
·If the baby cot is made of wood/wrought iron and has thin
strips, ensure that the distance between the strips is less than
2 inches. This will avoid the baby’s head being trapped in
between the strips.
·Avoid old and used baby cots; there may be chances of cracks,
or chipping off of the paint coating. This may harm the baby, if
she is teething.
·Check for pointed surfaces or splinters in a baby cot.
·You better look into the height of the baby cot, so that she
doesn’t topple down while standing.
·The mattresses should partly cover the sides of the baby cot,
so that baby’s hand and legs don’t get trapped into the strips
of the baby cot.
·The size of the baby cot should be such that her feet does not
touch the end of the cot and can have enough space for rolling
at least once.
Safety in using a baby cot
By any chance if the baby is made to sleep on the bed, and you
are having a sound sleep, there are chances of the baby rolling
and falling down the bed, and getting injured. An adult bed has
bedspreads, pillows lying around. There are chances of the baby
being suffocated. So it is better to have a perfect baby cot for
our little wonders that bring joy and cheers in our life. The
pleasure in seeing a baby sleep is hardly measurable.

The Hunt For Cool Baby Clothing
The Hunt For Cool Baby Clothing
By Michelle Bery
Let’s face it; there is not much more fun then dressing a baby.
The baby clothing that is on the market today creatively
combines comfort with enormous style; and choosing that special
outfit that reflects our child’s personality and is certain to
draw attention from friends and family, becomes something of a
mission for parents. But we’re in luck; because with new
designers and a variety of really unique lines being introduced
to the market, there is now an abundance of really cool baby
clothing that will keep your baby looking stylish at all times!
Cool baby clothing comes in all sizes – from newborn and up. Of
course, in those early days a newborn baby needs little else
than a couple of onesies, one-piece sleepers, and receiving
blankets. Although, cool baby clothing can be found for those
days you venture out of the house or for those first
professional pictures.
As baby grows so do the choices of cool baby clothing –
everything from handmade t-shirts, designer jeans, stylish hats,
and the tiniest of shoes. You are only limited by your
imagination when hunting for cool baby clothing.
Finding cool baby clothing is as easy as hitting some area
stores. The key is to think out of the box. Instead of heading
to the large retail stores that have much of the same looking
designs, seek out smaller boutique stores instead. You may find
creative and unique lines of baby clothes that are not much more
expensive than those you will find at the local retail store.
And be sure to always check the clearance rack; cool baby
clothing at rock bottom prices can often be found at the end of
a season.
Cool baby clothing can also be found at area children’s
clothing consignment shops. The higher end stores of this
variety accept a variety of gently used baby clothing – much of
it designer – that you can find for a fraction of the normal
price.
Finally, cool baby clothing is all over the Internet. Finding
unique pieces involves some simple research to find those
websites offering clothes that fit your style and budget. Of
course, along with this comes the added convenience of shopping
from home and having your purchases shipped straight to your
door.
Just as you shop for yourself – with style, creativity, and
affordability in mind – so can you shop for your child. Putting
just a little bit of effort into finding unique shopping
locations can yield a variety of cool baby clothing.
