Teaching Your Baby to Walk in the Open Air

Teaching your baby to walk in the Open Air

Very much like us, and as we require for our body, a baby also must be exercised which is very important for its growth. The baby’s first exercise takes place in the arms of the nurse. After the first one or two months after birth, when it starts to sleep less in the day, it takes delight in rolling and kicking on the sofa. The free movement of the limbs is enabled and taking the baby out for the open air to be inhaled and felt is the exercise for the baby.

However, the baby will constantly keep on making attempts to walk where it is important that none of the plans that are designed to teach a baby walk should adopt the go-cart, leading strings etc. These things are naturally mischievous and the chest being flat with the lungs confined and the distorted spine and deformed legs find their origins in these practices. The bones of the baby are soft and pliable and if there is any premature subjecting of the baby to carry its own weight, it will become an elastic stick curving under immense weight and will consequently turn curved and distorted.

The mother of the baby should bear this in mind and she views the baby’s efforts to walk with delight which will turn a blind eye to the problems that might occur afterwards. At this point, any mother will encourage and prolong the attempts of the baby to walk and will eventually be forced to mourn the deformity of the bones of the baby. You must also bear in mind that this deformity, upon early noticing, is completely curable and the formation can be set right.

The remedy is by using ways and means that invigorate the frame and improve the health of the child. Plunging the baby into cold bath, cold salt water sponging etc. will help the baby avert these problems. Never allow the baby to make further attempts to walk at this point of time. Put the baby’s legs into large stockings, in order to prevent the baby’s attempts to walk at this point of time. Although it prevents the attempts to walk, the exercise of the limbs is not prevented.

After a few months of following this plan, the limbs will be set right with no deformity and the bones would have acquired firmness and strength. The child may also be allowed to walk or attempt to walk without any dangers of deformity of the bones.

How to Choose the Best Baby Names

How to Choose the Best Baby Names

You have to be very careful in choosing a name for your baby because he is going to be called with the very name that you give him. Sometimes, a name is compatible with someone’s personality and some other times it may not be.

So, you can choose a name that goes with the personality of your baby. You may name your baby the best name for him to carry forward for his lifetime. Here are some tips on how to choose the best name for your baby.

Don’t Name Your Baby by Your Tradition

Tradition is one thing that suggests a name for your baby which might not be suitable and will confine you to a few names. However, in some cultures and traditions, it is imperative to go by religion which gives him the identity of belonging to a country or a region. In such cases, religion is one you have to abide by while naming your babies. But, you can still avoid the influence of the older population in naming your baby as giving a name is for the future of your baby and not the past.

They are not going to live with it but your baby is going to live with it. Just courteously put your Grandma and Grandpa slightly aside and choose a name for your new born baby.

Choose names bearing the future of your baby

The funny or quaint names that you choose will lead to nicknames and his friends will put him in a laughable position. Don’t give names to your baby that you came across from a TV show or something that is a celebrity name. You do not want your baby to be remembered after a celebrity. Find a unique name that may be meaningful and sounds good at the same time. Even a celebrity’s name will make your baby a laughing stock as almost all of the celebrities turn infamous for one thing or the other.

Consider the initials

A name may lead to a lot of embarrassment in the future of your baby. Sometimes, funny names are opted for by parents inadvertently. Names that have a funny connotation are a disturbing influence on the child’s growth where it will reduce the morale of your baby as he grows up.
Try to give up on your traditions and family trees. Your baby’s name should be unique which is not used by any other relative and excess creativity in choosing names can also cause damage. Names with different spellings can also be disastrous as common spellings are remembered by other people more than the unique ones. Think unique with your spouse in giving a unique name to your baby. This will make him happy in the long run as he grows up.

Baby Sleeping Habits

Baby Sleeping Habits

Nothing compares with a baby who is sleeping. It seems that an angel landed down on Earth and has some rest in a little bed. But sometimes there is a problem, because they are new in this world and they must be used to the differences between night and day. There are babies who cry during the night and only they and God know why and when everybody must get up they fall fast asleep.

Other babies are just normal. They get used very quickly to the human world and have their bed and their room since the first day in their house. It is said that this kind of children will be more independent when they grow up.

On the other hand, let me tell you a situation. A child was born earlier than the term with about three weeks and the family did not have the time to buy a little bed for their baby. Therefore, the first night when the baby came home was spent in his parents bed. Of course, the next day the parents bought a bed for their baby, but it was no use, as the baby cried and only when they put him in their bed, the baby became silent. And it was just a night…

Therefore I want to tell that even in the case of a baby, custom is a second nature.

Furthermore, babies may have different and even strange sleeping habits. For example some of them are afraid of dark and they fall asleep only when the light is switched on. Other babies want music or any other noise; they can’t sleep in a silent environment.

Moreover, most of the babies are used to sleep well if they are swaddled, because they won't roll over in their bed during the night.

Another aspect related to baby sleeping habits is their position while sleeping. Psychologists even made a connection between the babies position while sleeping and their future personality.

Finally, there are babies who don’t sleep until their mother sings for them or tells them stories or they can see their favorite cuddly toy by their side.

All in all baby sleeping habits tell a lot about their future behavior, but sometimes we are too sleepy to notice it, especially if our babies sleep during the day.
