Potty training your child can be a stressful and frustrating time for both you and your child. For this reason you need to approach the task in the right way and you need to be mindful of what definitely does not work to ensure a successful outcome.1. Starting Too SoonOne of the most common mistakes, if not the most common, is starting to try to train your child too soon, before he/she is ready. This will have the unfortunate effect of making it stressful for everyone concerned and will only prolong the day when your child can successfully go to the bathroom on their own.There is no right/wrong time to start but experts consider that the necessary physical and mental skills are present in your child between the ages of 18 and 24 months. But this is not a one size fits all situation and some children are not ready until they reach the age of 3 or 4. You need to watch out for signs that your child is ready to give it a try without being too pushy and you need to be patient and supportive throughout with no penalty for lack of success. Just leave it for a few weeks and start again all the time supporting and encouraging your child.2. Avoid Potty Training During Traumatic Periods There are seminal and important periods in your child life which will take him/her out of his/her daily routine such as the arrival of a new sibling. Don’t try to potty train during these periods, rather wait until your child is back in his/her safe and customary routine.3. Do Not PressurizeYou need to avoid putting pressure on your child and just relax and watch out [...] Continue Reading…

A large part of knowing how and why to breast feed begins with knowing exactly how the process works. A woman’s breast is pretty much a large gland. Size has nothing to do with how much milk is created or how well a woman can breast feed; size depends upon the fatty tissues surrounding the inner system. Cells inside the breast called aveoli create milk as a reaction to the hormone prolactin. A hormone Oxytocin makes small muscles around the aveoli to tighten and move milk through small tubes that lead to the areola and nipple. Baby formula cannot exactly match the chemical makeup of human breast milk, it does not contain the hormones and antibodies that infants may need. Breast milk changes over time to give the baby what it needs. During pregnancy and right after birth the breast milk is usually thick and yellow, this type of breast milk is called colostrum, it contains all the nutrients that newborns need. Around about day three or day five it thins out and begins to look white and contains all the things your baby needs at that time including sugars and fats. Part of understanding how to breast feed properly comes from knowing how breast milk is created to begin with. A woman’s breast is essentially a large gland. Cells inside a woman’s breast called aveoli create milk in response to the hormone prolactin, then a hormone called oxytocin makes small muscles around the cells constrict and move milk through the tubes that lead to the milk ducts in the nipple itself and around the areola. The size of a woman’s breast have nothing to do with how much milk they will produce and will [...] Continue Reading…
