  • Feeder Bibs Feeder bibs all over the place? I purchased a plastic sticky-backed hook and stuck it on the back of our highchair. Now the bibs are there all the time, are within easy reach, and not messing up the table or bench tops. Submitted By: Steph P(Added: 14-Jun-2002 Hits: 0 Rating: 5.00 Votes: 2) Rate It
  • Feeding Habits Should Start Now Now that my son is almost 2 I look back at a practice that I insisted on at all times. I have always insisted that my son be in his high chair during meal time, from start to finish whether he wanted to eat or not (I have never forced him to eat). Now at meal time he gets into his chair when I set the table and stays there until the table is cleared off. Those who mocked me still continue to chase their toddlers around the kitchen and in restaurants. From the time they are able to sit in a high chair this should be put into practice, to ensure they are in the habit of doing so when they are older.

  • Feeding Tips Instead of buying expensive feeding bowls, I just buy the throw away Glad Ware small round bowls with lids. They're the perfect size and you get several for 2 or 3 dollars. If you lose one, no big deal. Submitted By: Lisa(Added: 21-Mar-2002 Hits: 0 Rating: 9.00 Votes: 3) Rate It
  • First Feedings... When first feeding an infant, sit them in their infant seat, tipped back to have gravity on your side! Fill only the tip of the spoon with cereal or fruit, and then swipe it on the roof of baby's mouth and it will plop down onto their tongue and be deposited near the back where the swalloe reflex will take it down!

  • Fried Flour Diaper Rash Cure My daughter had a bad diaper rash that seemed to get worse with every cream and ointment I tried. It even started to bleed so I called my mom up and she told me what an oriental lady told her to do when I was a baby. Put regular flour in a frying pan, no oil, no nothing, and fry it. Stir it until it is golden brown (it will smell like burnt popcorn) cool it and sprinkle on baby's rear. My daughter's rash cleared up over night! I later found out from her doctor that it was a yeast infection. It still clears my daughter's diaper rashes anytime she gets them! It's cheaper than any of the creams or ointments too!

  • Fussiness When my 9 month old seems fussy, I turn on the washer and dryer, or the dishwasher. It seems to really calm him...he plays by himself and just entertains himself! I guess it's just the background noise. I really don't know to this day, but he quits being fussy! Submitted By: diedra gordon(Added: 19-Nov-2001 Hits: 0 Rating: 0 Votes: 0) Rate It
  • get baby out of my bed! PROBLEM: Daddy wanted our bed again after baby was born and I wanted to have her close so I'd get enough rest since I am breastfeeding. Baby didn't want to be alone in her own bed so she'd cry all night till we gave in. NO one was getting enough sleep. SOLUTION: Put baby mattress on floor next to big bed... roll over and lay with her in her bed when feeding and have our bed to just us! If she wimpers in the night I just have to reach down and take her hand and she goes back to sleep unless she's hungry. I can easily feed her and get back in my comfy bed w/o having to wake everyone up. Submitted By: (Added: 6-Jul-2000 Hits: 0 Rating: 0 Votes: 0) Rate It

  • Giving an uncooperative baby medicine When trying to administer medicine, especially through a dropper, babies will not always just swallow the liquid when you inject it into their mouth. I just take a bottle nipple and put my finger over to whole, turn it upside down and squezze the medicine into the the bottom side of the nipple. I then hold my baby on my lap and give the nipple to her as if I was going to feed her. She gulps a couple of times and presto, the medicine is administered struggle free!

  • Goodbye teething pain After trying several remedies, including natural remedies, I finally found one teething oil that really worked. Unfortunately, I can't find it in the stores anymore. The good news is that the unique ingredient was CLOVE OIL. Just 4 drops of clove oil to 1 tablespoon safflower oil did the trick. For a little sronger numbing effect, add more clove oil, but don't overdo it. It can burn if it's too strong. I try it on myself first.

  • Grumpy Baby When ever my 9 month old little girl is having a bad day, because of her teething, a slight cold or its a rainy day outside and nothing else seems to make her feel better, not the medicine hugs, or sleep and all she wants is %100 mommy love I take the time to give her a warm bath. I make the bath really bubbly and I put in her bath toys. This always gets her in a really happy mood. After her bath I grab her baby lotion and give her a massage. This not only helps her relax, but it also helps her fall asleep. SMALL TIP: Don't forget to put her diaper on as you give her a massage... the mess that can happen, well you know.

  • Having a Bedtime Routine My daughter kept me up all night. It seemed that she would wake up at least three times a night until she was seven months old. Finally, I read an article that had several tips for putting a baby to bed for the night. I tried most of them, but the one that worked best was to put her to bed at the same time every night. She now is ten months and knows that when mommy lays her in the bed at 9:30 every night that it is time to sleep. She sleeps until about 7:00 a.m. the next morning.

  • Help for Diaper Rash Can you believe Liquid Band-Aid works great for diaper rash ! When my son was teething, his little bum was so raw, so I applied liquid band-aid to the area so it could stay dry and begin to heal. It worked like a charm. Just let it dry before you put the diaper back on ! It stays on between changes and gentle wipes ! Submitted By: Wendy(Added: 22-Apr-2005 Hits: 0 Rating: 0 Votes: 0) Rate It
