The most popular myths about motherhood

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

Nowdays there are a lot of women who went from full-time work into full-time motherhood. This is a great change in woman’s life. Motherhood is joyous and it’s also hard work.
Many mothers have set some expectations of what motherhood will be like. Sometimes the expectations are so strong that they can even prevent women adjusting to having a baby and to enjoying the experience. I believe it will be interesting for you to read some of the myths about motherhood.

Myth 1: Motherhood equals non-stop joyfulness

Yes, it’s joyful. But I don’t think Non-stop. Many women think that motherhood will be like. The media and clever advertising tells us that motherhood is sunny days, walks in the park and rosy cheeked babies who smile and gurgle on demand.
Expectations that motherhood should be “easy” can be difficult if things don’t go as expected. Many women at this point feel overwhelmed and in some cases incompetent.
It’s important to have realistic expectations of yourself and your baby. One way to do this is to have an honest discussion with a couple of other mums you trust, who have kids the same age as yours. Find out what they are really experiencing, what are their highs and their lows and how are they coping. This type of discussion might help you feel your experiences are not uncommon.

How to stop breastfeeding

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

stop breastfeeding
The most comfortable way both for mother and baby to stop breastfeeng is to do this slowly and gradually, dropping a breast feeding or two each week until eventually you have replaced all feedings with the bottle. When you skip a feeding, your baby will be surprised by the appearance of the bottle, and your body will also be surprised by the sudden lack of demand. Your breasts may be heavy and sore, filled with milk. If the engorgement bothers you, you can pump them and store the breast milk for a bottle feeding. Don’t pump them completely dry, though, or you’ll be signalling your body for a refill. Only express enough milk to relieve the pressure, and you’ll be telling your body that you don’t need as much milk to be produced. Over time, lactation will stop naturally.

Positve Practice for Toileting Accidents

Saturday, December 5th, 2009

baby toiletPositive practice involves working with the child in an intensive practice of what he or she should have done – the positive alternative – instead of having an accident. It requires the child to practice going to the toilet 10 times immediately after an accident, every time one occurs. Because positive practice is really boring and takes a lot of time and effort, children become motivated fairly quickly to avoid it. Of course, the best way for them to do that is to poop or pee in the toilet instead of their clothing. While your child will be in charge of much of this activity, you, as a parent, can make positive practice work by remembering several important points: (more…)

How to understand your infant baby?

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

crying_baby_interpretInterpreting why your baby is crying is sometimes very hard. It does not matter it is day or night, your newborn infant will cry. Babies from newborn to six weeks can cry as much as one to five hours every day.

It can be difficult to tell what exactly causes Baby to cry, but fortunately, there are ways of figuring it out. By using some tips and tricks, you may be able to comfort your child by curing what ails them.

You may have heard that tending to your newborn immediately after they start crying every time can spoil them. Most child experts and researchers note that there is no validity to this theory.

It is important to understand that this is your baby’s way of communicating with you. If you ignore your baby, you may do more damage than help. If you respond immediately, comfort, and help your baby, this will establish a sense of security in your lucky little one at an early age.
