How Much Should You Spend On A Baby Shower Gift?

I’ve never been one to enjoy parties – not when I was in college or even while I was still single. I don’t know if this is a sign of getting older, but somehow, I find baby showers utterly refreshing. There’s something lighter than the air when you go to one.

There's an almost palpable excitement in the atmosphere. And even if you’re not a parent yet, the happiness is contagious almost like you’re the soon-to-be mum!

So as a guest, it’s standard etiquette (and maybe, an unspoken responsibility) to bring something for the couple, the mother or the little one. Sometimes, it can be tough because you still have no idea about the baby’s gender.

How To Clean A Wubbanub: Guaranteed Fast And Easy

What I like most about the Wubbanub is how adorable it looks. It's proof that function and aesthetic can go together – two things which are important in baby gears.

Besides, you’ve probably experienced at one point when the pacifier suddenly goes missing.

Ah, yes. There’s the horror of wondering if you can ever find them again. Also, small items have this peculiar habit of disappearing whenever you’re trying to look for them. It’s as if they’re taunting you.

And what better way to avoid such dilemma than to use the Wubbanub – it’s a pacifier with a plush toy. Thus, losing them is next to impossible, and it doubles as a second soothing object for the baby.

When Do Kids Learn Letters And How To Help Them

As a self-confessed bookworm, one of the things I wished for when I was pregnant was for my little one to love reading books too. So I religiously read to my then-infant anything from fairy tales to famous children’s stories.

When my baby boy turned six months old, I bought him some cloth and board books. But as expected, he had more appreciation for those with photos, drawings and colourful images than the ones with letters. That’s normal.

And I know all of you are wondering as well: when do kids learn letters? When do they even start to recognise them?

Right now, you should also visit this article about other milestone in the development of children as: when should babies start playing with toys?

The 5 Best Cats For Kids And Why You Should Get One

No matter what the breed is, cats have a lot to offer your little ones – from companionship to cuddles. And for whatever reason, I noticed that cats might be a bit aloof and cold to adults, but they seem extra affectionate towards little children.

But then again, it depends on which kind. Some kitties are sweet to their owners and even to dogs. So if you’re planning to buy one for your infant or toddler, check out this list for the best cats for kids. Although to be honest, I would get every single one of them if I can.

How To Achieve Success In Sleep Training 15 Month Old

When people said, “You’re about to have sleepless nights,” I thought that was a bit of a stretch. It can’t possibly be that bad, right? I mean, as far as I knew, newborn babies only do three things: sleep, eat, poop (and pee!).

So, they’ll probably be dozing off most of the time. Then, when my baby was born, just like that, sleep became a thing of the past. My little boy would take two naps a day, sleep at 6 in the evening and wake up at 4 in the morning.

It would have been no big deal if I slept the same time as him BUT mothers are the jack-of-all-trades at home.

In between taking care of the baby includes feeding him, changing diapers, bathing, doing morning and afternoon care, exposing him to the sunshine, and keeping the entire household together.
