How Should My Baby Sleep?

Families from different cultures all have their own beliefs and practices with regard to helping a baby sleep better. In the West, for instance, families are often recommended to let babies sleep in separate cribs and surfaces rather than the same bed as their parents. On the other hand, parents in Asian families usually prefer to let their babies sleep together with them in the same bed in order to better bond with them and attend to their needs quickly. When making decisions regarding your child’s sleeping arrangements, it’s important to consider you and your baby’s own personal needs and preferences.

Keeping Your Baby Safe From Disease

Diseases can always strike anytime, anywhere. A baby's developing immune system can't always fight back against viruses and infection, so it's always important to keep them safe and protected as much as possible. Properly vaccinating your baby can provide them with healthy antibodies needed for a strong immune system, as well as lower any risk of them developing serious diseases in the future. It's also important to keep your baby warm and comfortable so they don't lose too much energy or become exposed to viruses. Breastfeeding should also be done if possible to pass on healthy antibodies and lower any risk of disease during the early months of a baby's life.

Calming Anxious Babies During Vaccinations

The feeling of getting a yearly shot is never pleasant, especially for a delicate and sensitive baby. There are plenty of ways to help your anxious baby calm down and relax while they're getting all the vaccinations they need. Breastfeeding during vaccination can help reduce stress and pain from a needle. You can also give your baby a little dose of sugar mixed with warm water to help them calm their nerves or hold and shush them while they're getting injected. Topical anesthetics can also help reduce pain from a needle without harmful side effects.

The Best Drug-Free Remedies For A Baby Cold

It’s never easy to see your little one struggle with a nasty cough and cold. You might be tempted to ease all their troubles with a little cough syrup or cold medicine, but these can do more harm than you think. Giving your baby a little water can help clear up the nasal passages and replenish any lost fluids, and using saline drops can melt away nasty gunk stuck in the nasal passages. Breastfeeding can also strengthen your baby's immune system and provide them with enough Vitamin D and antibodies to fight off disease.
