Time passes very fast. Perhaps because it is approaching the first birthday of your baby. How to celebrate? We have some ideas that can help.

Many parents decide to make a small celebration only for the immediate family; others prefer a big party. There are no written rules, so do not feel pressured to make a huge celebration if you and your partner just want the first birthday is a nice family time and not all of an event.

The decor may be very simple. One must be careful, however, if you decide to use balloons, as many experts say they are not suitable for very young children because of the risk of bursting and can suffocate babies. By their natural curiosity, if the balloon bursts, babies could grab a piece and put in their mouths. Mylar balloons are more resilient and secure. Not so the latex.

Tips for great celebration

It is always important to evaluate what the main age of the guests, since according to it will be easier to plan everything, from food to fun. If you go to a party, is the size it is, there are some practical recommendations that might help you:

• Plan ahead your baby's birthday. This will facilitate the conduct of the party, so you're not stressed out at the last minute. If you go to order a birthday cake, do it at least a week before.
• Find ways to know how many people will attend. If you send invitations by mail, ask the guest to confirm their attendance. If you're doing a more informal meeting, no invitations, call two days before the party to confirm that your guests will attend.
• Wait for the unexpected. It may be that your baby sick at the last minute or you've planned a party outside and rain on the day of the celebration. It is best to have a plan "b", ie an alternative.
• Try to enjoy the moment. The hosts are who often pass it worse when a party, but this is not any celebration: the first birthday of your child. Do not lose sight of the true sense of the meeting that you organized.
• Sets a time limit for the party. If you're inviting children who have about a year old, remember that tire quickly, so do not expect the celebration lasts more than a couple of hours. What's more, experts recommend planning parties for that age party last between 1 hour and 1 hour and a half. It included in the invitation the timetable of the party, both beginning and term.
• It includes a variety of activities to amuse children. It has become fashionable to choose a theme for the first baby shower, thanks largely to market are all kinds of accessories with characters or cartoons like children. There may be an adult child disguised as a character like Barney, Blue's Clues or the Teletubbies. You can also place different toys available to children to entertain. Clowns are sometimes not highly recommended, as babies may be frightened by them. A puppet show can be fun, as long as the theme of the play is appropriate for the age of the children.
• Music happy hearts. Get CDs or playlists with children's music and play it at a moderate level to help create an atmosphere of children's party.
• If you're going to have a piñata, is that it is filled with objects that do not choke young children. The golden rule is that any small object is potentially very dangerous because you can get stuck in the mouth or throat baby.
• Do not forget parents. Adults have other needs, so plan to have enough chairs for them, drinks and something to eat.
• Have ready a medicine cabinet. Children fall and suffer accidents all the time. It is best to be prepared with a first aid kit containing disinfectant ointment or lotion, adhesive patches, gauze and forceps.
• Do not forget the camera and / or video. It is so obvious that parents sometimes forget to have them hand a tool that allows them to keep forever the memory of your baby's first birthday.

Ideas for parties with more adults than children

If the party attended by more adults than children, we present the following ideas to amuse the elderly:

• Make your baby is a celebrity. If you have access to a computer, write a newsletter that simulates a journal. If that's too complicated, he writes sentences in large letters as headlines in your word processor (such as Microsoft Word). Print them, cut them out and glue on top of holders of the front page of a local newspaper. For example: Andrew celebrates its first year. Place a baby photo which has been the original photograph of the newspaper. You can decorate the party venue with funny pictures of your baby and give the adult guests disposable cameras to play to be "Paparazzi".
• All were babies. This idea is great to amuse adults, since you ask each guest to bring a picture of him when he was a baby. Just come to the party, you're sticking with adhesive tape photos on cardboard or lined cardboard. In the middle of the party, you can play guess who each photo.
• Heritage for the future. It is again a good idea to parties where there are many adults. It asks each guest to write something feted, how will believe what profession when I grow up, an anecdote that happened in this first year or advice for life. You can read in a loud voice every paper or simply save it in a box so that the child can see this gift when you can understand what it means. The decor of the room may consist of newspaper articles or magazines published the year the baby was born, along with album covers that were fashionable or photos of the highest grossing films of the year.

We hope that your birthday child to be wonderful. Here are ideas to celebrate the second anniversary of the birth of your most precious treasure.

A very common question when you have a newborn baby is just in case you wake to feed or not. The diversity of opinions can be overwhelming, especially if you're a new mom. Here are some guidelines.

There they can spend hours sleeping and do not wake up to take their milk (they are few, but there are!). If your child is a newborn, spend 4 hours and have not given him or her bottle-feeding, it is advisable waking to feed. According to experts, that way you'll be sure your baby is getting the nutrition you need. Especially the first few days after birth, which is normal for a baby to lose weight and then recover to grow. Therefore it is considered completely normal for a baby to eat every 2 hours those first weeks.

Of course, if your baby is sleepy and need to remember not to wake him gently weep. For example, you can caress her feet, increase the light in the room or rubbing his chin. Then try to bring it to the breast or bottle feeding or nipple to take their milk. There are very sleepy babies that not so wake up. In that case, you can use a damp washcloth to touch the forehead or neck gently so as not to scare him.

When you are larger, for example after 6 weeks, you can leave a little more sleep, but always consult with your pediatrician to see if your baby is well fed and make sure you have a normal weight. If your baby has not gained weight as expected or has reflux and need to take less milk but more often, it's likely that the doctor continues to advise wake your little baby to feed.

If after six weeks you are lucky enough that your baby sleeps more than five hours, it is gaining weight as expected limits and does not have a medical condition that requires feeding followed, do not ever wake him up ... and prepare to feel envy parents who do not have your own luck!

As every year, the season of superheroes came: theaters around the world will be filled with adrenaline in the coming weeks, thanks to the adventures of Civil War (where Captain America and his team to their will face friends-but-rivals, commanding Iron Man) and the X-Men (mutants for many years and we are thrilled with their adventures on the big screen, this time they appear as young students seeking to defeat an ancient danger). These characters are inspired to make a more heroic life; but some of them have names that could also be inspiration for our children.

Steve

He is the hero who represents the United States, starting with their clothing (stars and stripes lined), and followed by his powerful shield, but above all, it is a great human being. Captain America is one of those noble, honorable heroes, great feelings. Although his strength came from a scientific experiment, his character has since he was a scrawny Steve Rogers called soldier in World War II. And while Steve is a name that may not sound so good with Latino surnames (although, of course, anything goes), it is equivalent in Spanish, Stephen, who comes from the Greek "victorious". And if what you want is the honorable name of another superhero, what about the secret identity of Spider Man, Peter? Or better, Peter.

Tony

The owner of Stark Industries is recognized not only as a genius, but, as he himself says, as a billionaire, partier, philanthropist ... and also superhero. When he goes inside his omnipotent armor is known as Iron Man and, although it is heroic course, has no sense of honor of Captain America; Maybe that's why they face in the Civil War film. However, this lack compensates with an enormous sense of practicality, an absolute genius and a hidden goodness that is even beyond the nobility. The equivalent in Spanish would be Tony Antonio, which means "brave" (which also sounds great in his female counterpart: Antonia). If you like the idea of naming your child as a superhero genius but you're not the Team Stark, you can use Bruno, who is the Spanish name of the genius scientist Bruce Banner, better known as Hulk (and other fiestero millionaire genius philanthropist: Bruce Wayne, aka Batman).

Natasha

Superspy stunning intelligence, expert in martial arts, core member of the Avengers, and one of the most important allies of Iron Man in this "civil war", Natasha Romanoff, whom we know better as Black Widow, is one of the characters more Marvel long-lived, and for good reason: it was one of the first female superheroes proved without doubt that she does not need any man. In the film she is Russian descent, and hence "Natasha" meaning in that language, "born at Christmas" is called. Its equivalent in Spanish would be Natalia.

Wanda

We have seen little in the Marvel superhero movies, but their role is increasingly important. It first appeared with his brother; he had the power to run at the speed of light, and she, well, she has so many powers (manipulate the space-time, paralyzed with supersonic waves, banging energy ...) there is not even an absolute clarity about what really you can do. And that becomes a dramatic character. Moreover, its codename, Scarlet Witch (Scarlet Witch) is the most powerful of the series. His real name is Wanda (she is a fictional Eastern European country called Sokovia), which comes from German and means "that protects it from vandals."

Baby showers (rain gifts) are very popular festivals today and serve to entertain mom waiting for a baby. This celebration can be great fun but also requires organization.

If you go to a meeting like this to one of your friends or family, here we will tell you what is essential in a baby shower so that everything is cute and pleasing to all the guests, but especially the new mom.

Help

It is essential to get help organizing a baby shower. Usually, other relatives or friends of the pregnant are eager to help and you can ask them. The easiest way to do this is to divide the work among all, assigning a section to each.

If the treat is a surprise, make sure you have someone very close to the mom helping with some details so you know what your preferences and main guests.

Date, place and invitations

A baby shower is usually held between 4 and 8 weeks before the due date, but no rigid rules. If pregnancy is complicated or multiple (twins, twins, triplets, etc.) and the baby may be premature, is best done before. And if it will be far from where the old lady lives can plan it before so you can travel more comfortable. Remember that invitations should be sent with four to six weeks in advance, so it is important to plan ahead.

The place may vary according to the weather and the number of guests. Many people choose to do it in a large, park or in the clubhouse in a gated community home. Also, the time may vary but usually these entertainments are held at noon or early afternoon.

Decorations

They say there are colors for every taste and for a party you can use the color you want. But if you're not sure of the preference of your pregnant friend, you better stay with pastel colors. And if you know the baby's sex can use pink or blue as the main color if you want.

No need not buy all the decorations and ornaments for the party in special shops or spend a lot of money. With some creativity you can make your own decorations and the same goes for souvenirs or surprises.

Snacks and drinks

Depending on the time, they can make a meal for the guests or just a large variety of sweet and savory snacks. Drinks should be refreshing and can include, sodas, without forgetting the water. Another good idea is to make a special cocktail but no alcohol for all pregnant celebrate.

Gifts

Now it is very common to have a record of gifts for the baby and thus no duplicate gifts and all guests will be purchasing something that will be used. Be sure to put this information on the invitation so guests are aware and able to buy what the new mom needs.

If the party is a surprise, it's a good idea to suggest to guests include gift cards or gift receipts to see if any duplicate.

Games

It is customary to have many fun games at baby showers, and best of all is that the options are limitless. Examples of games are:

• Baby Bingo - It's like a normal bingo but with baby items.
• Guess how many - candies or chocolates are placed in a large jar and guessing how many there are or who came closest to winning number.
• What's in the diaper - Purchase 5 different types of chocolate bars and melt each in the center of each diaper listed. Let the guests bring to guess whether or tasting and smelling are putting on a list with your name. The one who guesses correctly wins. This game usually brings a lot of laughs!
• Under the blanket (memory game) - This game is best done if the party is in a house. Put several baby items (10 or more) on a bed and make the guests have the opportunity to see them for 5 seconds (can be done by groups). Then cover the bed with a blanket and have everyone write down what they remember seeing on the bed.

Memories or surprises

After the party, it is customary to give something to those who participated in it. No need to give great gifts but something significant as a small picture frame with copy ultrasound baby to be born, an aromatic candle small with a little ribbon, chocolates in a small box, etc. In this part of the baby shower can also unleash creativity and not spend much money.

Sometimes your child may not be prepared for the arrival of a new sibling because they do not have enough intellectual maturity to understand this new event in your life. Why your child may feel jealous to see that their parents are paying any attention to another baby.

After your new baby is born, your other child can miss you to you and your dad and feel that all the attention is focused on his new brother. That is why your older child can develop some unusual behaviors in order to get your attention and your father. Do not be surprised if you find unusual behavior in your child, such as: misbehave, forget to tell you that needed the toilet or have a fit of rebellion, among others, in order to attract attention.

To avoid these behaviors, Liliana De la Torre psychologist recommended that during pregnancy you talk to your child about his new baby brother. According to psychologist de la Torre, who is now a psychologist at a school in southern Florida, USA, for an older child the arrival of a new baby is a very complex fact, and notes that "if you talk to your child more about her new brother and his arrival, you will help the child is accepting the idea of sharing their parents with someone else and when the new baby is born, it is likely that the older brother comes to feel proud of his new baby brother. "

The arrival of a new sibling for your child can be very positive. In the case of Mary C. Oliveros, the advice given by the psychologist Torre worked. Mary is the mother of two children, he began talking to his son Camilo about her pregnancy and to explain that after some time there would be someone else in the family. At first he did not understand much, but when her father spoke to the womb of his mother and told her there was his new baby brother, Camilo also started to do the same and when he did name the new baby by name, Sofia . "I still did not know that the baby would be a girl but indeed it was," Mary said. Here are some suggestions that Liliana de la Torre psychologist gave us, so you can help your child to assimilate the arrival of a new sibling:

Tips to help a child adjust to the arrival of a sibling

• Talk about the new baby during pregnancy.
• Let your child talk with the new baby in your womb.
• Let your child will visit the clinic after birth.
• When you make a gift to your eldest son, do not tell him that the gift did the newborn because it can backfire if the child is old enough to understand that the little baby could not actually brought haberselo. When the older brother is a big boy, you had better know that the gift they give parents, as this reaffirms that it is very important for mom and dad.
• Spend some time just for each of your children (minimum of 15 minutes) in which is included a little physical contact such as hugging, games, etc.
• Asks the grandparents of your older child or someone else with the child to the zoo, movies, eating ice cream, or to do some kind of activity.
• Tell a story to your older child while you give breast feeding your newborn baby.
• Let your older child to participate in discussions concerning the issue of new baby brother.
• Develops activities that involve your older child with the new baby, where your older child has more contact with his new baby brother.
• Lend more attention than usual to your older child to not feel moved.

I do not leave milk with the breast pump!

I do not leave milk with the breast pump!

Unknown 6:59:00 PM Add

My daughter Paula was about five months and when I tried to get me milk with the breast pump for the first time. Until then we had achieved exclusive breastfeeding from day one. In consultation monthly review the baby was progressing in size and weight than normal.

Frustration gripped me when after five minutes of squeeze me, literally, I barely managed to gather half ounce. I tried to remain calm thinking maybe I was not doing well or at that tit had "much milk" and then I switched to the other breast and it was worse, that just came out a few drops.

I panicked! He seized my typical question "I do not have enough milk" or worse "I is doing the milk." I had a really bad, really distresses me, cried and to make matters worse had no where to turn to find out what was going on.

Then I asked the quei were my dulas during the part and they funneled me with a lactation consultant, per message I told my drama and told me not to worry, that initially did not always get the same amount of milk with the breast pump like when babies take.

He even told me that while no one can know exactly how much milk the baby takes directly from the breast, the theory says that with its suction mouth can reach out twice what comes with the breast pump.

Reading on the internet and looking, I was finding more information about a milk bank is done, especially when Mom is about to return to the office or if enterprising as it must have appointments and meetings, so you have to leave your baby a few hours a few days a week.

Now with the experience of two lactations, more courses and certifications as maternity lactation consultant, I know how to make a milk bank, go or not to return to paid work.

1. It is necessary for the body to produce extra takes. Is not going to take baby milk, we make the body produce more.

2. After an hour of having given the breast to your baby, you're going to take a couple of glasses of water and wait 10 minutes, then you begin to milk you out with the apparatus.

3. It is important that as the baby's attachment to breast must be correct, with the breast pump, you must be careful that the chichi es'te well stuck and the vacuum is made, but never leave anything.

4. At first it may be that only serves a few milliliters. Do not panic or let doubts assail you, IS NORMAL. For this you have to try to get you milk every day at the same time, this will give the message to the brain "baby needs more milk" and then with the passage of time will go out a little more.

5. Do not look so much at the time, because each breast is as different as is every mom. Some will be taken two ounces in three minutes. And some will be taken five ounces in 10 minutes. Do not compare your BREASTFEEDING WITH ANY OTHER MAMA.

So if you want to make a milk bank for whatever reason, you should start doing so two weeks before returning to the office, or go on a trip or whatever.

You must calculate that it will take every two hours and a half, so you should leave the amount of baby bottles with milk shots that you will not be.

If you feel very lost, ask for help, looking for a consultant, but do not pass through this alone, many moms feel overwhelmed and think they are doing lake very bad, and the truth is that sometimes it is a matter of technique and others They are giving them formula, but they say no.

And finally let other people give the bottle with your milk, because it is possible that if you give it you do not accept. Do not feel bad, breastfeeding is a constant learning process.

And for those who are to visit a new mom, plus gift for the baby, they can think about the list of gifts.

Home address

Believe me when I say that could be one of the best gifts, even better to get her to eat at the best restaurant. It tries to solve everything Mom resolved at home for a day, from the cleaning instructions if domestic worker, and if there is, then take care of everything, washing dishes, cleaning, making the bed and tidying up, let gnashing clean the house.

One of the greatest burdens of ALL mom is that your home is clean and tidy, this is exacerbated when we have a newborn and life has put us head and we do not know where to start, so I swear it would be a great gift, get her out of his house and return at night to a house squeaky clean and tidy.

Massage home

If you want to really surprise the new mom, get a masseuse at home. They are the will to acknowledge and thank All of life!

One hour massage for a mom with small bebito serves much more than a necklace, a new sweater or scarf, better invest in peace and happiness of moms, is best for everyone, I promise. This gift should include time to care for the baby lie to Mom give the massage.

A letter

Sometimes time with a newborn arrived home to us we are like water through your fingers, and when we realize the date is only a few hours and not how to run, but we always have leaf and paper handy, and we also have kept things you do not find the time or space to say them, but if we can write what excites us and fills us with the heart, the mother who receives this letter will feel happy and fulfilled, because at least that card can save it all life, however a dinner or restaurant meal can end badly if they go with the baby. Insurance always remember, but not for something positive.

Food delivery

And yes no longer flat given time, for organizing a meal at home, but do not ask him "do you want to eat," one of the things that tired moms are mental outstanding, "do lunch" "what likes the husband, the mother, what to order keep everybody happy", "if we ordered tacos have to ask lemons, salsas and tortillas, pozole or if I ask, you have to ask toast, etc., etc.".

So if they can not go out to celebrate Mom, you have to be practical, give two or three food choices, ask for everything, think of the additions that are needed, set the table so that when the food can sit at the table almost like in a restaurant, do not forget the drinks and dessert. Really will give you the gift of a lull.

All together

If you want to look, they can do all the above suggestions together, none opposed, however, all add up and would be a wonderful day for the new mom.

If you believe this post can serve a husband, son, brother, dad and even grandchildren, because I share it, you can make a difference to many women.

An article published in the journal Pediatrics from the American Academy of Pediatrics in January 2008 returns us to enhance the value of breast milk to protect our babies from illness and allergies. The study shows that babies who are at high risk of atopic disease (eg, dermatitis, asthma and / or allergy to food) because of their family history (parents or siblings with the disease) can delay or even prevent disease if breastfed for at least four months.

The researchers also explain that high-risk infants using hypoallergenic formulas that do not contain the protein in cow's milk receive a similar effect. However, there are no studies showing that use formulas based on soy milk (or soy) have a preventive effect on these diseases.

Moreover, it is unknown whether the dietary restrictions mom can take during their pregnancy have any effect on preventing allergies. This contradicts the recommendations started doing in August 2000, when doctors advised them to expectant mothers with allergic history in their families, refrain from eating peanuts (or peanut).

Similarly, the researchers conclude that delaying the introduction of solid beyond food from 4 to 6 months has no effect in preventing or delay atopic diseases or allergies, nor has subjecting the baby to a specific diet when we started introducing solids.

Anyway, if you are allergic to your family or a history of allergies, ask your doctor to recommend you do to protect your baby either expecting a baby or in the first weeks of life.

Steps to make a milk bank

A month before your date of return to work you must start generating extra milk intake. The milk that you should not be storing the stomas that already have established your baby.

To generate an extra shot, you must wait about 1 hour or 1hr and 15 minutes after your baby has done its normal shooting, then take a glass of water and start the extraction of milk with either a manual or electric breast pump.

Do not be distressed if you leave early withdrawals little milk, it is normal, remember that you are training your body to produce an extra amount of which was used to producer. Therefore it is necessary to perseverance, because if you take off every day at the same time then your body must produce understood that this amount every day.

You can start with an extraction mid-morning and mid-afternoon, the first few days and then we can do so many extra shots as you like, as long as you do not take your baby to their divisions.

Storage

To make a milk bank I recommend using sterile bags (and sold well) and save 2 or 3 ounces in each bag.

It is VERY IMPORTANT that you put the time of day you take out the milk, for when your baby will take the stored milk should be the oldest, not the most recent.

Breast milk should be thawed in a water bath and SIMPRE away from the flame of the stove. Preferably, the night before the milk down the freezer to the refrigerator and take it out early and put it in a place in your kitchen you will not get the sun or near the stove.
