My baby’s new milestone is imminently approaching and I can’t believe that my gummy little one will soon be introduced to eating solids.
Pediatrician recommends introducing solids any time between 4 and 6 months if your baby is ready. Begin to start with rice cereal, then give him/her one or two teaspoons of dry cereal mixed with enough formula or breast milk to make a semi-liquid. Use a soft-tipped plastic spoon when you feed your baby, to avoid injuring his gums. Start with just a small amount of cereal on the tip of the spoon. Once he gets used to his new diet, he’ll be ready for a few tablespoons of cereal a day. As the amount he eats increases, gradually thicken the consistency of the cereal and add another feeding.
Just be sure to have your baby sit in a stable place, at a convenient height for you. Once he can sit up by himself/herself, a highchair at the table is your best bet. Happy feeding!
Celebrity-mom, Marcia Cross (Desperate Housewives) really knows how to protect her little one from the harsh rays of sun. Wearing a wide brimmed hat or cap is one of the best ways to protect (you and) your infants face and neck from any exposure to sun.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends keeping babies younger than 6 months out of direct sunlight. It doesn’t matter if baby has light or dark skin, infants need to be sheltered from skin-damaging UV exposure. Besides wearing wide-brimmed hats or caps, apply chemical-free sunscreen to exposed areas. If you are cruising in a stroller, remember to keep the canopy up.
Remember to be safe while enjoying the outdoors…your baby will love you for it!
Remember to talk to your Pediatrician first before applying!

What do you think of Heidi’s new look?
A recent study confirms that a babies life can be saved each year if mothers fed their babies breast milk only for the first six months of life.
The findings suggest that there are hundreds of deaths and many more costly illnesses each year from health problems that breast-feeding may help prevent. These include stomach viruses, ear infections,asthma, juvenile diabetes, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and even childhood leukemia.
