Baby Care
As a very sensitive mother of my two boys I have tried many types of baby products in the last couple years. This is my first hand knowledge of them.
Clothes
Just as we like to wear the most comfortable clothes, I look for the most comfortable clothes for my baby. For a humid or warmer climate, I always buy cotton sleepers. Many baby sleepers are made of polyester because it is a cheaper material to manufacture for the company. I would not recommend this scratchy material for baby. Cotton wicks away moisture and allows baby’s tender skin to breathe keeping it dry and cozy.
Benefits of Cotton
Wicks away moisture from body
Allows skin to breathe
Softer fiber than polyester
Durable in washing
I personally like “Sears Baby” or “Wardrobe Essentials” brand sleepers from the local Sears department store. They are inexpensive enough, come in many cute colors and designs and are usually 100% cotton. They wash well and usually do not have embroidery on the front which can be scratchy on the reverse. However, if you really want a sleeper with embroidery on the front check the scratchiness of the reverse side by rubbing it against the inside of your arm.
In winter a nice warm cozy fleece sleeper is ideal. Even though fleece material is made of 100% polyester, the fibers are thinner and therefor much softer. Sears brand also carries winter fleece clothes that are the best quality for the price in my experiences. If we have the money, I always try to buy clothes for baby to grow into on the seasons clearance sales.
TIPS:
- Buy sleepers that have the feet attached. It is more convienient than having to wear socks and shoes on baby by a daily basis.
- Always buy larger than baby's present size. Most baby clothes shrink in the dryer and baby grows so quickly.
- When buying sleepers with a zipper, make sure there is a fabric flap covering the zipper at the collar. This might not seem important, but it protect baby's chin from the zipper (and from being poked by the zipper handle!).
- With so many diaper changes in one day, you might want to try the zipper before you buy the sleeper. If the zipper does not function smoothly, or the zipper handle is too narrow to get a comfortable grip, it can be very frustrating and you won't want to use it.
- Choose clothing keeping the purpose in mind, rather than what looks cute. For example, I wouldn't wear light cotton pants on a toddler who is going to be crawling outside. I would put jeans on instead.
- If you can, buy clothes on sale or clearance for baby to grow into. This will save you a lot of money in the long run.
Socks
Please use at least 70% to 100% cotton socks, not polyester socks. Pampers is a good brand to buy (like the diaper).
The Reason: Polyester is a nonbreathable fiber made from plastic. Polyester contributes to sweaty feet causing fungus to grow.
Shoes
0 months to when baby walks:
Gold Bug (available at any Wal-Mart or Zellers for about $9).
Baby does not really need shoes until they crawl, but until then you can buy shoes for them just to complete an outfit. For when baby crawls, you can use shoes to protect their feet.
For when baby walks:
GAP shoes from GAP kids (usually $19.50).
We had bought a pair on sale and found our one-and-a-half year old fell less often. The sole was flat rather than the typical running shoe look. The rubber on the bottom of the shoe gripped really well. It had two canvas velcro straps on the top and more rubber covering the front toe of the shoe. It did not look like anything special, but they were perfect for Aryan.
TIPS:
There is a wide world of baby shoes out there. I had purchased many, many baby shoes and baby slippers that looked like they would be good only to find out that they were not actually designed to fit baby. Either they would kick off easily, or they were too hard to get on baby's foot. Look for shoes with:
- Flat rubber soles so it does not distort baby's balance.
- Light weight.
- Rubber on top to protect toes for when they fall.
- Secure and easy foot access.
- If you can try it on baby's foot in the store to avoid disappointments.
Kick-Proof Slippers
The most common reason for slippers sliding off baby's feet is due to incorrect size and/or design flaw. Many baby slippers are made to look cute for the customer rather than the function of staying on baby's feet. Here are some tips on kick-proof slippers for baby:
TIPS:
- In my experience the most baby kick-proof slippers are those with one large velcro tab on the enclosure, and slippers with an elastic around the ankle. Caution: make sure the elastic is not too tight around baby's ankle as to prevent blood flow to feet.
- Make sure the slipper is not too small or too large.
- Do not assess baby's size by the months/years labeled on the slippers. These are used only as guidelines, often your baby's size is different.
The Crawling Baby
Please be sure to check the inside of the garments baby wears for any seams or embellishments that might rub against baby's tender skin as he crawls and moves around.
Soaps and Shampoos
A mild soap is best of course. Do not simply rely on products that have a baby on the front or says it is for baby. Sadly many “baby” products are not what is best for baby, but what is best for the company to profit from. If you are not sure about the products mildness, look for a baby wash or shampoo that does not contain Sodium Laureth Sulfate or its cousin, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate in it. This is usually the second or third ingredient listed.
Interestingly enough, the baby wash I prefer to use is not marketed as a baby wash at all: ASK Revival hand & nail cleanser.
Bathing...
Babies do not need to be bathed every day. As long as you change their clothes when they are wet and "spot clean" their skin when it is dirty. This is a much safer and healthier alternative to bathing every day.
I know from personal experience when I bathed my first son his skin would continously get dryer and dryer. (I used Johnson's head-to-toe baby wash, boasting, "Milder than any baby soap".) Bathing Aryan required a constant application of a prescribed over the counter cream recommended by my pediatrician. Aryan was not even dirty enough to be bathed everyday, but I beleived in the marketing that you had to do it. The experience was hard on him, and difficult for me.
Clearly, common sense came to me and I now only bath baby when I feel he needs it. Since I have tried this, Aryan's skin has never been better. It is easier on you, and easier on baby.
As you know, many babies survied years ago who were not bathed every day. The idea of bathing every day is an invention of marketing because they want you to spend more. You use more soap, you have to use baby lotion, powder, and what ever they think up next for you to use.
Powder is not necessary. Baby lotion is not necessary. These I have checked out with my doctor.
Sponge Baths
When baby feels sticky from hot weather I recommend a sponge bath. I lay baby wearing just his diaper, on top of a high absorbency bath towel in a room where the air is not too cold. (in other words, not in an air conditioned room.) You will need two bowls filled with warm clean water, soap, and two baby wash cloths.
- The first bowl and wash cloth is for the more dirty areas (body, hands, feet, and finally the crotch and bum.).
- Quickly catagorize in your head the areas of least dirty-to-dirtiest on baby.
- Start gently wiping the cleaner areas of baby with the warm wash cloth and the plain water.
- Gently pat each area dry right after you wash it to prevent chills.
- When you finally get to baby's diaper area, you can then add soap to the bowl of water.
- You can use the clear water from the second bowl to now rinse off baby's diaper area.
- Pat dry, and put on a fresh diaper.
If baby is not too fussy by now, you can continue on to wash his head and face with the second bowl and wash cloth.
When you have to bath Baby,
please do not leave even for a moment. One second is all it takes for the suction cups at the bottom of the bath seat to come off, and baby slipping under water.
Make bath time a time shared between you and your baby. Put everything else on hold until you are finished.
For added peace and quiet, take the phone off the hook. Any one wanting to talk to you can call later.
Laundry
With two boys I have found that the best laundry detergent has proven to be “Ivory Snow” and “Tide”. That is, the “Tide” without any other product added to it. (ex. "A touch of Downy, or Frebreze”.) These detergents have too strong a perfume in it and do not clean as well as the original formulas do. When washing baby's clothes you don't want to use any added chemicals.
For baby clothes suffering from diaper leaks I launder separately with hot water. This gets the soils out easily. If you own the traditional top loading machines soaking the clothes may be needed before washing. I recommend pre-soaking them in “Baby OxyClean”. However, the regular OxyCleans might clean just as well.
For top loading machines add the dirtiest clothes first. That way, the dirtiest clothes will be down at the bottom of the tub where most of the agitation occurs.
If you accidently put too much soap do not rely on the machine to get it all out for you. Please select the extra rinse as an option, or fast-forward the washing machine to drain out the water, then start again without adding soap.
For spot treating before laundering, “Shout Wipes” in my experience, have been much superior to “OxyClean Instant Spot Remover Wipes”. “OxyClean” wipes leave a sort of greasy spot and do not work as well as “Shout Wipes” do.
“Shout Wipes” are also really great for yourself when you are out on the run.
Fabric Softener
Some people prefer not to add another chemical to baby’s clothes. I however, feel that a quality fabric softener takes away the roughness or scratchiness of the fabric itself. My boys have never had a reaction or rash to fabric softener.
I buy a “fragrance free” fabric softener. Baby’s nose is sensitive to scent and laundry soap already leaves a pleasant smell.
I prefer liquid fabric softener to sheets. The reason being that liquid fabric softener is diluted with water then gently rinsed through the fibers. Fabric softener sheets rub against clothing in the dryer leaving a film on the surface of the garments.
Wipes
Pampers |
"Pampers Sensitive Skin" and "Unscented" is the best in my experience. I use it especially if my baby has a diaper rash. Pampers wipes are naturally lubricated with aloe vera. I've tried all the Pampers line of wipes, they all do an excellent job. It also easily cleans off lanolin. |
Huggies |
Does not clean as well as it should. Makes diaper rash worse. Their rough, paper-like wipes leave my baby's skin red (even "Huggies Newborn"). Not lubricated enough, which rubs against baby's tender skin, and leaves bits of paper from the wipes. And if you need proof of all the chemicals Huggies put in their wipes, all you have to do is smell it. You are really paying your money for the brand name. |
Huggies Shea Butter |
Imagine a company that boasts about using the naturalness of "shea butter" in their wipes when it is the 11th ingredient listed out of their 13 in total. (Ingredients are always listed in most to least order.) Even "fragrance" takes priority in their "gentle" ingredients. (See above.) |
Parent's Choice (Wal-Mart) |
A good, economic wipe if you can always change baby's diaper immediately. Otherwise this may be hard to clean with. |
Teddy's Choice |
A lesser wipe at a lesser price. The scented wipes have a strong smell. |
Pharmasave |
These wipes come very wet. There are no indentations in the wipe itself which might be the cause of it not picking up the feces as well as other brands do. However my husband likes them. |
Equate (Wal-Mart) |
This is one of the thicker wipes, has a strong scent. The unscented type is a good buy. |
Lil' Goats Milk (Wal-Mart) |
From what I remember nothing spectacular. Actually a has a strong perfume to it. Overpriced. |
Hint:
For stuck on dirt that you can't wipe off, I use a tiny bit of baby oil on a baby wipe. This loosens up the dirt so it wipes right off. I discovered this myself one day using the "Parent's Choice" brand of baby wipes. Then after, I gently (as to not tug on baby's precious skin) wipe off the excess oil with a wet baby wipe.
This method is also fantastic for sensitive, red skin when you don't have softer baby wipes on hand. Just make sure the baby oil is unscented.
What's the deal with "Unscented" wipes?
I used to think nothing, but with my second baby I soon discovered fragranced wipes irritated his skin more.
Often times you see advertised on wipe containers "Thicker". The thickness of baby wipes do not actually make a difference in its ability to clean. However, if you like thicker wipes in your hand then go for Equate, or Pharmasave.
Diaper Rash Cream
My favorite diaper rash cream is Gerber Diaper Rash Ointment. It contains 40% of the active ingredient "zinc oxide" rather than the usual 10 to 15% most brands have.
Diapers
Babies are all different shapes and sizes with different needs. Keeping this in mind, feel free to experiment with the ever-changing vast market of diapers. In order to keep things simple, I have reviewed the two largest suppliers of diapers.....
Huggies
Ultra Trim and Supreme
Claiming to be “baby shaped”. Their “baby shape” is nothing more than an excuse to give you less diaper for your dollar. Instead of a neatly folded diaper coming out of the bag you get a wrinkley misshaped little diaper. I have noticed I have to change baby more frequently with these diapers (less absorbent). And then they want to sell you another pack of diapers for “Overnite”. It seems to me that Huggies have put their money less on quality, and more money on paying Disney rights and commercial time.
Pampers
Baby-Dry and Swaddlers/Cruisers
I always buy Pampers because they have never failed me in quality. They keep baby the driest, while absorbing the most! My favorite are the Swaddlers (available in newborn to size 2). They have a soft quilted outer with extra stretchy sides that wrap right around any shape of baby’s tummy. Cruisers are the same, minus the quilted outer. Cruisers are available in size 3 to 6.
Baby-Dry really is Baby-Dry! Baby-Dry is a little more economical. They don’t have the stretchy sides, or the quilted outer, but you get all the quality where it matters.
Pain Relievers (Medicine)
Two types of pain releif are used for infants- Advil (ibuprofen), and Tylenol (acetaminophen).
"Advil", and "Tylenol" are the brand names of the medicines. Ibuprofen and acetaminophen both work differently, so you might find that if Tylenol didn't take away your stomach cramps, Advil will. Ibuprofen (Advil) is a newer medicine than Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is and works better.
Asprin (acetylsalicylic acid, or ASA for short) is never used for babies because it is too harsh on their stomach.
Baby Talk is Good!
There is a false idea out in our society that claims that a parent using “baby talk” when talking to their baby is not good for baby’s development of speech. Anyone who stands by this has clearly missed the point. First of all, the parent is expressing their EMOTION to baby taking the form of “baby talk”. For baby, it is not about learning to talk properly, they get plenty of examples seeing you and others talk throughout the day normally. If you observe someone talking “baby talk” to their baby you will notice a whole series of events that happen. The parent’s eyes light up, they usually are smiling, and there is an excitement in their voice. This is what baby is connecting to. It is a healthy wholesome interaction that baby loves.
Do’s and Don’ts of Child Naming
Don’t name your child according to what relatives want.
Don’t have friends or family pressure you into a name you don’t like.
Don’t choose cutesy names your child may resent when they get older like “candy, scooter, dolly, punky, bon-bon, or lamby.”
Don’t choose a name you feel will be mispronounced often, unless this doesn’t bother you.
Don’t choose a name that may be easily shorted into something you don’t like. (ex. “Allicia” to “Al or Allie” and “Donavan” to “Don”.)
Movies and songs may suggest names, but don’t choose a name because it is this year’s most voted or ranked. The novelty wears off, but your child is stuck with the name for life.
Do name your child a name YOU want.
Do choose a name that has a special meaning to you.
Do choose a name that you, yourself can pronounce easily.
Dollar Store Danger!!!
Beware buying children's and even infants toys at dollar stores. (ex. Dollarama) Every toy I have purchased from a dollar store has had sharp edges or posed as a choking hazard with pieces that readily fall or break off easy. Toy trucks have small wheels that come off. A small stuffed animal that rumbles when a cord with a tiny ring at the end is pulled, however the small ring easily pulls off. A mini-mirror disco ball with sharp squares made of glass hung for sale with toys! Sparkles in a candle that catch on fire and burst into flames. Dollar stores draw in unsuspecting costumers with their cheap price tags and assume no responsibility when a child has been hurt! It is all about profits, and in order to keep their prices low they voluntarily compromise the quality and safety of the products they sell.
Bringing Home Baby.....
New born babies are more susceptible to becoming seriously ill due to their weak immune system. PLEASE, PLEASE, avoid bringing Baby on outings (ex. trip to the store) and limit visitors as long as you can until your baby has a chance to build up it's immune system against illnesses.
You can help Baby's immune system by breastfeeding. In the first few days of nursing the mother produces a clear liquid called "Collestrum". It is this fluid filled with antibodies that is so vital in building Baby's immune system. Breastfeed Baby as much as he or she want's in this time frame.
Cradle Cap
Cradle Cap is a harmless form of dandruff that appears as yellow to brown crusty patches, usually on baby's head. It is caused by dry skin flakes sticking to the natural oil on baby's scalp. It will often disappear on it's own but if you want to speed up the process here's how.
How To Treat:
Use a baby oil and allow time for it to loosen the patches up. Use a fine-toothed comb and GENTLY comb baby's hair in different directions- this helps to lift the scales from the scalp. Make sure to wash all the oil in baby's hair after. Leaving the oil can make the condition worse. You may want to use a soft baby brush to gently exfoliate and separate baby's fine hair from the oil.
Points to remember:
- Use a shampoo or baby wash that does not dry out baby's skin.
- Find a comb that does not have sharp edges. Test on the inside of your arm if you are not sure.
- Do not use gel oils. This product sounds good, but I quickly discovered from my own experience that thicker oil is not good. It causes fine hair to stick together making the oil tricky to wash out.
Breastfeeding is a spiritual connection between baby and its Mother.
About Nursing Cream
Nursing creams are basically set up in two groups. You have the 100% lanolin group, and you have petrolatum based products. Lanolin is usually twice the price of petrolatum; but lanolin is highly concentrated, a little goes a very long way. And don’t think that just because two products advertise 100% lanolin that they are both the same. They are not. Some lanolin has a different texture/consistancy than other lanolin products.
Next is the petrolatum based group. These are less expensive because petrolatum is a derivative of petroleum gelly, or Vaseline. (Please do not take this as an invitation to use petroleum gelly as a nursing cream.) These offer a lighter moisturization, and a lighter texture than lanolin. However you end up using more. So, if you want to go with the most economic then lanolin is for you.
All the creams listed below do not have to be removed prior to breastfeeding.
Lansinoh
$10-15
I prefer the consistancy of this lanolin to other lanolins. Also endorsed by La Leche League (A world wide organization dedicated to breastfeeding mothers.) Just look for the purple box, or tube.
Gerber Breast Therapy
$5
(Petrolatum based.)
Comes in a convenient twist-up stick so you don’t have to get your hands messy. This comes in a solid form. Unintentionally it smells like oat flour.
Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula
$5
(Petrolatum based.)
Despite “cocoa butter” listed in the name, this has no scent. Cream is semi-solid and easily spread.
PureLan 100
$10-15
This lanolin is a bit stickier and goopier than Lansinoh’s. PureLan100's tube is the same size as Lansinoh’s, but it contains less lanolin.
I personally choose the best of both worlds! I use Lansinoh when I need deeper moisturization, and the petrolatum based products when I want a lighter texture without the mess.
If your nipples are dry to the point of cracked or bleeding, a doctor can prescribe a cream better suited to your needs.
Breastfeeding: good for Baby, and good for the Mother!
Breast Pumps
Breastfeeding mothers may want to invest in a breast pump. This is the most effective way to incorperate breastmilk into baby's cereal giving it its nutritional value, or also if you want a break from breastfeeding. A breast pump is useful and handy for many reasons you can't think of now.
I very much like and recommend: AVENT: Isis Breast Pump
Made in England, the AVENT Isis Breast Pump completely comes apart for sterilization, and also comes with extra spare parts just in case you lose any! It is the easiest, and best designed breast pump I have used. I even prefer it over electronic breast pumps! It costs around $70 but is worth the price!
Baby Food
Be Understanding and Patient
Accidents happen, and patience is needed.
I am not saying you won't ever get mad, or even frustrated; but before you lash out exercise some understanding.
Have you ever tasted jarred baby food? While some flavors are palatable, most are not.
RESPECT.
If baby doesn’t like it, or is not in the mood to eat, don’t force baby to eat it because it’s “easier”. It will only make things frustrating for both you and baby.
EASY
Consider your child. If you wouldn’t eat it, don’t make baby eat it. With the use of a hand blender (about $20 or less) it is extremely easy and quick to offer baby something else to eat. Baby cereal mixed with breast milk, or just plain milk is also a great addition to baby’s meals, or on it’s own.
Babies love to eat what you are eating. Before you sit down for supper, consider giving baby some of what you are having to eat by using a blender.
TIP:
For a fussy baby, having chocolate milk on hand is great for baby’s nutrition until he is ready to eat again.
Easy Meal # 1
Microwave bake 2 to 3 medium sized potatoes (not peeled) for 2-3 minutes on both sizes.
Cut the cooked potatoes in half and empty out the potato in to a tall container. With a hand blender blend the potato pieces with milk, salt, butter, and jarred baby carrots to taste.
Serve warmed. Refrigerate the rest.
Easy Meal # 2
For a quick meal, try cooking minute rice. Then blend it with cottage cheese and milk. The dairy in it will give baby it's protein so there is no need for meat.
Easy Meal # 3
Having spaghetti for dinner? Before you mix in the tomato sauce put some plain noodles aside for baby. Blend it with milk and grated cheese for a meal. You can then add salt for flavor.
Easy Meal # 4
Stirred yogert. Just make sure the chunks of fruit are not too big.
Trouble getting baby to eat? Try giving him bits of chocolate he can pick and put in his mouth. The sweet chocolate will stimulate baby's taste buds and activate his appetite.
Spoiled is not Spoiled
Many people have the idea that children can be "spoiled" as an result of overindulgence (ex. too many toys). I can remember an experience in my own personal childhood where my best friend had so many more toys than I, when her parents actually had a lesser income than my own. She was more generous with sharing her toys with the other kids due to the abundant amount of her toys. Whereas, I, never feeling like I had enough toys to spare, were more resistant to sharing them.
The lessen here is that the amount of toys your child has, or gets, has nothing to do with their temperament. If your child is displaying unpleasant characteristics, your better to look at the people in the family whether it be modeling specific behavior patterns, or genetically.
Baby Care for Boys!!!
Why you shouldn’t circumcise you baby boy...
Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin.
The foreskin (or prepuce) is the sheath of thin skin normally covering the head of the penis. The inner foreskin is attached to the penile shaft just beyond the head of the penis, with a small band approaching the opening of the urinary passage on the undersurface.
The foreskin protects the head of the penis and urethral meatus in the diapered baby, preventing irritation from contact with urine. At birth the foreskin is usually fused to the head of the penis. This prevents it from being pulled back or retracted to uncover the head. Normal urination should not be affected. As your child matures, the inner foreskin gradually separate from the head, allowing progressive retraction.
It is important not to retract the foreskin forcefully for any reason. Some parents feel the need to pull the foreskin back to “clean under it”. Since the young boy’s inner foreskin and head and initially fused, there is no space to clean. Forceful retraction also may lead to cracking and bleeding of the foreskin tip. Over time, this may cause scarring of the tip making retraction impossible.
A common misunderstood condition in uncircumcised baby boys is SMEGMA. When baby’s foreskin is not retractable, the natural shedding of dead skin cells may build up into soft, yellow or white lumps apparent under the skin. This is no cause for alarm. The buildup is a natural and harmless process. The smegma (or dead skin cells) will eventually work its way out as the foreskin becomes retractable.
The foreskin is a normal part of your baby’s anatomy. With proper understanding of its natural development, foreskin problems can be avoided. If you feel your baby boy may have a foreskin problem please contact your Urologist.
Educational Bore
Think toys that are educational are the best? Truth is, these educational toys are made to satisfy the parent rather than the child. Educational toys lack imagination, which is vital to a child for a healthy developmental of self.
ALL toys are educational to children. Seemingly non-educational toys (a tea pot set, Barbie, toy trucks) teach children about everyday life. Toys are important because they are how a child can relate to and assimilate what goes on in our everyday world.
Counterfeit Means Crap!
A lot of people are unaware of the hidden $4 billion-dollar-a-year market behind counterfeit products. On the surface you appear to get that brand name quality for a lower cost, while underneath that fake bargain lies a web of recklessness.
Companies that make counterfeit products are extremely careless. They are careless towards quality. They are careless towards your, or your children’s safety. They are careless about their “employees” needs and safety (sweat shops). And while they count their profits they are giving other genuine hard working companies a bad name.
What am I talking about you ask? Take for example one of the biggest victims of counterfeit companies, “Disney”. Disney is much too huge a company and been around for much too long to wish to gain a reputation of law suites, poor quality toys, and clothing. So they invest mountains of money in order to obey our necessary government regulations (put in place for our safety), quality, and safety tests in order to create satisfied customers who will buy from them again. Disney is a company that is too well known to ever get away with the things counterfeit companies do and continue to do.
Counterfeit companies are not usually established in our country but abroad due to our laws. They have no respect for giving a genuinely good company that works for their reputation a bad one. They may copy everything from the authentic product right down to the inner tag on a garment and even their copy rights. They do this in order to deceive the person into believing it is authentic, instead of a cheap fake.
What to look for in counterfeit products:
- Poor quality
- Logos or characters that don’t look quite like the real thing
- Is it being sold by a reputable source? (Although counterfeit products have even been found in some department stores.)
- Sometimes a deal that is too good to be true IS.
My Own Experience
I once purchased some hard to find Disney DVDs on the internet. They were at a good price and I assumed they were left over stock from when they were originally released. Upon arrival I noticed some tell-tale signs that they were counterfeit DVDs. When I played the features on the DVDs some were not working, or would play then become distorted images on the T.V.
I was with my husband looking at baby sleepers at Wal-Mart when we noticed a "Disney" Pooh outfit. It WOULD have been nice, except that the material was cheaper than the Disney sleepers my baby already owened, and the feet were ridiculously small for the body size. It was no wonder why the price was so cheap.
Child Birth
There is a fad out now on having your baby the “natural” way. In fact, there is nothing to me that says that having your baby in the hospital is not natural. It has to do with you, and your giving birth.
Many mothers are mislead in thinking that a delivery without painkillers of any sort is better for baby. When in fact it can be detrimental to your baby’s well being. Many people do not realize that increased pain during labor affects the chemical balance in your system causing a lack of oxygen and other possible complications to baby’s health.
Another problem that this is known to occur is that mothers increasingly lose their energy to push in the final stages of delivery. It is imperative for a mother to conserve her energy during labor. Unnecessary stress onto the mother is unnecessary stress onto baby. Conserving your energy to give some good pushes at the end of delivery results in a less lengthy process for baby and you to struggle in.
A good mother wants to make the trauma of delivery as easy as possible on baby. You owe it to your baby to have all the help available when the time comes. You owe it to your baby to have the best person capable of delivering your little boy or girl. You owe it to yourself, after all you’ve been through with the pregnancy and delivery to be taken care of. You owe it to yourself and to your baby to have your delivery in a hospital.
WARNING!!!!
Under NO circumstances should you subject your pre-born baby to the two tests “Amniocentesis” and “Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS)”! The CVS test (10 to 12 weeks into your pregnancy) and the amniocentesis test (14 to 18 to later in your pregnancy).
Estimates are as high as 1 in 50 you will miscarry after you take a CVS test.
Estimates are as high as 1 in 100 depending on the skill and experience of the doctor preforming the test that your baby will die.
Imagine a doctor who sees 50 patients a day. If each of these women took the CVS test, one would loose their child every day. Excited, happy, mothers-to-be who would risk the life of their baby at the hands of a doctor whom they trusted to take a test that they did not even need.
More than 95% of the high-risk women recommended to take the amniocentesis test will find out they have risked the death of their baby for no real reason at all. In addition to this, almost all of those women that were not high-risk took the tests for no valid reason whatsoever. They were sadly mislead into believing that they should take these tests. The very Life of their baby was put into jeopardy. Also, there is a risk of uterine infection in the days following the procedure, which can then lead to the death of their baby.
If you have taken the amniocentesis test you may have cramping for a day or so. About 1 to 2 percent of women will have significant cramping, vaginal spotting, or leaking amniotic fluid. You are told to call your doctor if you have any of these symptoms — or a fever — because they could be signs of impending miscarriage, but your doctor did not tell you that you did not even need these tests to begin with. It is all about the doctors making extra money.
If you are asked to take either a CVS, or a Amniocentesis test, say NO! Stay firm on your no, the life of your baby is at risk!
Children are First, Pets are Second....
Children being the living counterpart of yourself should always come first rather than your pets living at home. You are the most important part of your child’s life! Your children need and depend on you for a just and pure love that will help them grow into their full potential.
Animals cannot rise above that of instinct. They cannot know or experience that of a greater love beyond their primal needs for comfort. (Ex. food, bed, water.) An animal cannot think or feel love coming from a person, they only know what basic elements they get.
Are you taking some of the fullness of your love and attention from your child and directing it towards the pet?
If you are not, you have a Great(8) start at a healthy relationship with your child!
The Spirit of Life
I can understand the struggle our government has. Our people want to uphold and maintain our freedom and rights. But our people are split in their direction.
There is a minority of people with a loud voice in our society who believe the choice of the mother is of greater worth than the life of a child, whereas the majority of you would value life the most.
The Pure energy of Life is an incredible gift of God. In our lesser evolved form who are we to abort the touch of God`s Pure Love? Who are we to foolishly label it as less than what we know in our hearts is right.
The organization “Planned Parenthood” promotes the action of abortion when you don’t feel the time is right. Our lives are continuously changing and ever flowing. Times might be bad now, but good in a few years. Times might be better now, but worse later on. It is all part of Life!
But True Love is that throughout it all you have what matters the MOST- your child, and you will go on loving and feeling the comfort that you did not live your life without your precious child.
