SAFETY

 
Providing a safe environment for your children to live and play in is crucial. Your house, both inside and out, is chock-full of dangers to naturally curious and impulsive children.

It is your responsibility to ensure the necessary preparations involved in making your home and family as safe as possible. A good way to start is to take Red Cross certified first aid and CPR classes, which will provide potentially life saving skills in event of an emergency.

Precautions for Infants

• Lay babies on their backs for naps and sleeping.

• Be careful where you leave your baby in the car or bouncy seat. Never place on top of tables or counter tops.

• Never leave baby unattended while in a swing.

• Don’t use baby walkers – they’re very dangerous around stairs and thresholds.

• Always supervise infants when around older siblings and pets.

• Don’t let your baby lie in a beanbag chair.

• Don’t let baby nap on a couch or armchair.

• Always use a safety strap when changing a baby on a changing table, or keep a firm hand on the baby at all times. Never leave the baby unattended, and have supplies within your reach.

• Keep changing supplies out of baby’s reach. Don’t allow baby to grab powder or baby oil, as their lungs can become severely injured if powder is inhaled or oil is swallowed.

• The First Candle/SIDS Alliance promotes infant health and survival during the prenatal period through 2 years.

Cribs

• Slats of crib should be no wider than 2 3/8 inches apart.

• Be weary of older cribs which may not meet current safety standards and may have been painted with lead paint.

• Never lay the baby on a pillow to go to sleep.

• Make sure baby cannot reach mobiles hanging from above.

• Use a crib bumper for babies, making sure ties hang outside the crib and aren’t longer than 6 inches.

• As soon as your child can sit or stand, lower the mattress to the lowest possible level. Keep things out of the crib that they could stack to climb on top of and fall out, including crib bumpers, large toys, and stuffed animals.

• When your child can climb out of the crib, put them on a mattress on the floor, in a toddler bed, or in a regular bed with bedrails.

• If you’re having trouble keeping your child contained in their room, put a gate in the doorway.

In the Kitchen

• Remove stove dials from the burners if they’re on the front, and keep pot handles turned in while cooking.

• Keep all household cleaners in a cabinet with a childproof lock.

• Keep cooking oils locked up as well, as children can become dangerously sick if oil is swallowed and enters the lungs.

• For cabinets that aren’t locked, store safe things like Tupperware and pots and pans.

• When you’re finished using your oven, don’t leave the door open to let the heat out.

• Don’t get distracted while you’re cooking, as you can easily burn pots and dinners you just worked hard on. If you need to leave the stove while cooking, turn off the burners.

• Never hold a child while cooking by a stove or drinking a hot beverage.

“When Spouses Travel” – Page 69 of Moms’ Lifesavers Book

The newest feature of the Mothering Advice Book Moms’ Lifesavers: Tips to Make Life Easier for New Mothers, is a sneak preview of Page 69, which discusses the disruption that can be caused when the spouse is away on travel, and gives some tips and tricks on “keeping the peace” with the kids, as well as staying connected to the spouse.

As with many of the pages, this one has a Notes section at the bottom for the tips and tricks you will no doubt come across on your own.

Click here to read the PDF, or just read below:

 

When Spouses Travel

 

Parenting becomes even tougher when a spouse’s job requirements involve traveling for extended periods of time. Suddenly you are left with the challenge of being “on” twenty-four hours a day. Without the welcomed breaks you get from a spouse, these times alone can be difficult and tiring. Planning and organization prior to their departure can help to make the days easier.

Maintaining routines and activities will help to make the parent’s absence less disruptive to family life. It is also important to try to keep the children connected to the absent parent. With sensitivity, consistency, and love, the time will pass by less stressfully.

 

How to Stay Connected

• Have pictures of the traveling parent around where the child can touch and hold them.

• Talk about the traveling parent often and schedule regular phone calls.

• Allow and encourage older children to write, email, and phone their traveling parent.

 

Making Things Easier

• Before your spouse leaves, make sure you have the house stocked with food and other necessities.

• Remain consistent with discipline and routines.

• Make sure you tell friends and family that you’ll be alone, and ask for help if needed. You will be pleasantly surprised with the offers you get!

• Schedule play dates, and time with family and friends.

• Plan an evening meal with another family or parent whose spouse is also traveling. This will fill the most difficult time of day and provide social opportunities.

• Do a kid-swap with you watching your friend’s kids, and then having them watch yours so you can get some errands done.

• It’s inevitable that a child may get sick or other unforeseen things happen. Have a good relationship with a neighbor or a friend close by to help in a time of need.

• Have all emergency phone numbers in a visible area.

• Schedule a babysitter in advance to help out during this time, so you can take a nap, or get some quiet time.

• Do what you need to do to make life less stressful for you. If your house gets messy, your kids don’t get bathed, or you order a lot of take-out, it’s OK!

• Enjoy quiet solitude when the kids are tucked in.

• Allow time for traveling parent to adjust back into the home.

“Quality fun Time” – Page 61 of Moms’ Lifesavers Book

The newest feature of the Parenting Tips Book Moms’ Lifesavers: Tips to Make Life Easier for New Mothers, is a sneak preview of Page 61.  This page talks about the importance of making time for the family, and gives some tips on how to have good quality family time.

Click here to read the PDF, or just read below:

Quality fun Time

 

Often our lives get so hectic and scheduled that we forget about just spending time together as a family. Special family time is very valuable to children, regardless if it’s a quiet activity at home, or out on a fun adventure. Setting aside time that is “just for them” lets them know how special and important they are. These are the times your children will remember, so get out and have fun!

 

Fun Family Time

• Maintain connections with family and friends by establishing rituals such as Friday pizza and game night, Saturday morning breakfast, or a Sunday afternoon cookout.

• Use the great outdoors – hikes, beach, bike riding, walks, picnics, boating, sledding, and skating.

• Setting “family time” aside is important. You don’t have to make elaborate plans – just going for a walk near your home or picking up an ice cream.

• Have regular “special time” once a week where each child chooses an activity to do one on one with the parent of their choice.

• Pack a picnic and find a scenic spot near the water where there’s lots of space to run, walk, and kick a ball around.

• Have a family movie night.

• Go to a family theater in your local community.

• Split up during family activities if the children are at different developmental stages so that everyone has a good time.

• Seasonal activities such as apple picking, winter carnivals, sleigh rides, ice skating, and building sand castles.

• Camping – even if it’s in the backyard; bonfires at appropriate age.

• For a mini vacation from it all, drive to a campground mid-afternoon and select a campsite to build a fire. Roast hot dogs for dinner and marshmallows for dessert; put everyone back in the car to sleep at home!

• Singing and dancing.

• Gardening activities – let them plant and take care of their own flowerbed or vegetable garden.

• Make a walk into a “mystery hunt” (search for signs of spring, or count Christmas trees, or count animals); stop and guess what others hear or see.

• Swimming classes and free swims, join a summer swim club.

• Children’s museum, aquarium, nature center, and zoo.

• Organized activities: Kindermusik, Gymboree, open gyms at local gymnastic facilities, Y programs, and local Parks and Recreation programs.

• Special “cuddling” routines before bed are special, reading favorite books and chatting about the activities of the day.

If you do things together as a family, then many activities will be memorable regardless of what they are. It’s the TIME spent together, not necessarily WHAT is done.

Need More Ideas?

• Libraries often have free museum passes available and lists of local venues to visit.

• Local parent magazines.

• “Weekend” section of newspaper.

At Christmas time, make a paper chain and starting on December 1st take off a “link”. Each link has an activity (donate some needed items to a shelter, give away old toys, write letters to Santa, or have a pizza party under the Christmas tree). It’s a fun countdown to Christmas and a great way to bond with your family.

“The ‘Witching’ Hours” – Page 49 of Moms’ Lifesavers Book

The newest feature of the Parenting Tips Book Moms’ Lifesavers: Tips to Make Life Easier for New Mothers, is a sneak preview of Page 49, which discusses those difficult hours just before baby’s bedtime.

Click here to read the PDF, or just read below:

The “Witching” Hours

 

New mothers will find that late afternoon until children’s bedtime will be the most challenging hours of the day. These hours are often packed with routines (meal, bath, and bed) at a time when children are either tired or wired. Throw in an exhausted parent and you have a potential brew of exasperation. To avoid ending every day at the end of your rope, do what you can to make this time period run as smoothly as possible.

 

Bewitching Tips to Try

• Drop everything! Know that this is a tough time and prepare – don’t take phone calls, plan to be at home, try to plan ahead.

• Have as much meal planning and preparation done in advance as possible. Make supper whenever you get time during the day, and heat it up as needed at meal time. Crock pots are ideal.

• If you are making dinner, allow the kids to “help” if possible. Giving them small things to do both keeps them busy and may entice them to eat what “they’ve” made.

• Stick to a schedule, and try to get everyone fed early.

• Get the children outside playing if possible – go for a walk, let them run around.

• Take walks in the stroller every afternoon.

• Carry baby in a sling, front pack, or backpack as they love the motion and it keeps them content.

• Save a special video or a favorite taped TV show that they are allowed to watch only at this time.

• Keep noise and extra stimulation to a minimum by turning off electronics.

• Play soothing music.

• Provide quiet activities, such as puzzles, coloring and story time.

• Have a “grab bag” of activities that only comes out during this time, so the activities will be more exciting.

• Provide a small, nutritious snack in mid-afternoon so that your children are not running out of fuel.

• Give yourself slack – if the kitchen’s a mess, the playroom’s a disaster, and you’ve given them noodles three nights in a row, don’t worry, there’s always tomorrow!

• Sing a lot of silly songs with actions, pillow fights, crazy dancing to music –anything to make your child laugh and be active so that they are ready for bed with happy thoughts.

• Loosen your grip on getting tasks done and spend time with the kids. Things will get done.

• Take cool-off time if you think you’re going to lose it! Have one small area of your house that is always clean and organized, and take a five minute breather there to get yourself together (even if it’s the bathroom!).

• When old enough, give the kids jobs to do such as setting the table, putting recyclables into bin, and cleaning up the toys.

 

Some of what makes this so tough is that we are trying to do everything! With patience waning and fatigue increasing, it is the worst time to tackle the chores that await us. Establish a routine that works for everyone. I always found that the closer I kept my kids to me at this time, the easier it was for me to manage it all.

“Weaning from Pacifiers and Bottles” – Page 39 of Moms’ Lifesavers Book

The newest feature of the Parenting Book Moms’ Lifesavers: Tips to Make Life Easier for New Mothers, is a sneak preview of Page 39, which give tips and hints about weaning your child from pacifiers and bottles.

Just like the last page that we previewed, this one has a Notes section at the bottom of the page.  After all, this book is meant to be a “living document”, where you can add the tips that you find helpful!

Click here to read the PDF, or just read below:

Weaning from Pacifiers & Bottles 

Pacifiers and bottles can become an extension of a child’s body if you let them, and removing these items can feel like removing a limb! Children use these objects to satisfy a need. Be ready and willing as a parent to “give it up” because half the battle often lies with the parents and their willingness to forgo a few peaceful nights for the ultimate challenge of weaning. You are in charge of this transition, and your child needs YOU to be strong!

Hopefully the following tips will provide useful suggestions, and some moral support, to help make this challenging time a little easier.

 

GENERAL WEANING TIPS

• Don’t plan to get rid of these comfort objects or behaviors until you are REALLY ready. If you give up half way through, your child will remember that you gave in, and will try even harder the next time to get you to give in.

• Choose a toy your child really wants to have. Make a sticker chart, and as soon as they go ten days without using the pacifier or bottle, they earn the toy. Keep it on display where they can see but not reach it.

• Set a “rite of passage” date. Tell your child that on a certain day, for example their second or third birthday, the pacifier or bottle will be stopped. Give your child lots of forewarning, and talk about it
so they are clear on what will happen. Stick to it – it may be rough for one or two days, but they’ll get over it.

• Divert their attention by substituting a favorite toy or giving them your attention instead!

 

TWO DIFFERENT STRATEGIES

Gradual reduction method
Slowly reduce the time and place your child is allowed to have it, going three days with each change until it is no longer used.

Cold turkey method
Get rid of it! You may have a rough three days and nights, but you’ll all survive! Try dipping it in pickle juice for an unsavory suck…they will give it up right there on the spot!

“Dining Out” – Page 30 of Moms’ Lifesavers Book

 

As part of our ongoing feature of the Parenting Book Moms’ Lifesavers: Tips to Make Life Easier for New Mothers, this next sneak preview comes from Page 30.  This part of the book has some really great tips for dining out with baby.

As with many pages in the book, this one has a Notes section at the bottom of the page.  This can be invaluable, since raising a child is a constant on-the-job training experience, and this book can serve as your primer!

Click here to read the PDF, or just read below:

 

Dining Out

Restaurant Etiquette
• Make a reservation or use call-ahead seating if available. Always try to minimize the time your children will have to wait.
• If you have to wait, ask to look at a menu so you can order soon after you are seated.
• Choose restaurants that are kid-friendly with fast service.
• Booth seats keep kids more contained, and the baby carrier can be placed on the bench beside you.
• Don’t let your child “wander” around a restaurant.
• Try going out to dinner late when the baby will be sleeping in the car seat. Ask for a highchair to turn upside down and set the seat into.
• Order food you know your children like. This isn’t the time to introduce new foods, especially for picky eaters.
• Be courteous and make an attempt to clean excess food up off the floor (and if you aren’t logistically able, drop a few bucks under the table for the person who has to clean it all up!).
• Tip very well if your children have made it a challenge for the wait staff, or if they have gone out of their way to make it easier for you.
• Remove children from restaurants for unruly behavior, and do not waiver – it’s an effective way to teach consideration of others. As soon as your meal is served, ask for the bill in case you have to make a quick exit or the wait staff gets busy.

Items to Bring
• Have a few ideas of games or activities you can play at the table to keep kids entertained before the food arrives, such as coloring book and crayons, a book to read, or a quiet toy that is fun to play with on a table top, such as “Wikki-stix”.
• Bring wipes for hands before, during, and after meal.
• Disposable placemats that stick to the table are great! You can put food directly on the placemat and not worry about germs from the table, or glass dishes that may end up on the floor.
• Use disposable bibs or bring a bib clip (www.onestepahead.com).
• Most restaurants have only adult cutlery, so bring a small spoon and fork along.
• Using your own sippy cup will avoid spilled drinks.
• Bring your own baby food when possible, as little baby jars of food can be heated up for you.
• Know that eating in public is not a known skill – young children need plenty of practice to handle this VERY demanding task. If at first you don’t succeed – keep trying. Be sure you’re not expecting too
much of your child – 30 minutes is a good length of time to have them sitting in public and behaving.

 

For those co-workers out there looking for a great gift for that expecting co-worker, Moms’ Lifesavers makes a perfect gift for New Moms and Moms-to-Be!

“Childcare Options” – Page 21 of Moms’ Lifesavers Book

In this installment of our feature of the Parenting Book Moms’ Lifesavers: Tips to Make Life Easier for New Mothers, today’s sneak preview comes from Page 21, which discusses various childcare options.

What’s great is, all of the tips and information in this book come from surveying hundreds of mothers. Christine Cohen and Joanne Tucci, the authors, put a LOT of work into this book!

Anyway, click here to read the PDF, or read below:

Childcare Options

 

Returning to work after the birth of your baby can be a very emotional and difficult time.  It can be very difficult to leave your child with a caregiver for the first time.  If you are feeling anxious or uncertain, know that you are not alone! Be confident in yourself and the decision you made.  Whatever your decision, know that you are making the best choice for you and your family.

Thankfully, childcare options have come a long way.  Many regulatory and “watch dog” agencies are now in place to assess childcare environments and provide training and education to anyone working with children. There are also many different choices available to parents to fit your individual needs. Take the time to evaluate your needs honestly. Research your options thoroughly. Doing this will help to ease your mind during the workday, and
will ensure a good situation for everyone.
 

CHOOSING THE RIGHT CARE

• What kind of environment do we want for our child?
• Do we need a flexible care plan?
• How much can we afford to spend?
• Do we want our baby close to work?
• What size setting do we want?
• How convenient do we need the care to be?
• Do we want someone in our home on a daily basis?

Check out the National Network for Child Care at www.nncc.org for up to date resources about childcare.

 

NANNY

Advantages
• Child remains in the comfort of your home.
• Avoid hectic drop off and pick-up of your child.
• Not necessary to pack-up your child with supplies each day.
• Your child is not exposed to as many people or children, therefore decreasing the exposure to germs and illnesses.
• If agreed upon, the nanny can help with housekeeping tasks around the house allowing more “quality time” with your child at the end of the day.

Keep in Mind
• A good nanny agency will interview YOU, listen to your needs, and match you with potential candidates for you to interview.
• Make sure you give an honest, philosophical perspective on your family life, especially on discipline.
• These candidates affect the balance of your home life; you will want the nanny to meld into your family life harmoniously.
• Ask for a commitment that will suit your needs (six months, 1 year).
• You must be selective and follow your instincts. If you feel like the candidates aren’t the right match, keep searching. It’s very disruptive to the family routine if you have to make a change soon into the job.
• Have a potential nanny come to your house and observe how they interact with the children. Look for politeness and respect for the mom, and joy and excitement with the kids.

Preparing for the Little Arrival

 

You’re having your first child, the “nesting” instinct hits, and you head out to stock up on baby supplies. Standing in a baby store, you find yourself faced with HUNDREDS of childcare products, along with a kindly salesperson trying to sell you all of them! This can indeed be an overwhelming experience. Here’s a must-have, bare bones list of necessities to have on hand when the baby comes home. Compiled by moms who’ve been there, this should help to streamline your shopping expedition.

 

FOR BABY

Clothing
• Lots of onesies and sleepers to cut down on laundry.
• Hats and socks.
• Gowns are great for quick and easy diaper changes.
• Sleep sack (a wearable blanket that zippers on and off).
• Easy wash and wear cotton outfits with snaps (“fancy” clothing is cute, but not as comfortable for baby).

Diaper Changing
• Disposable diapers.
• Changing table pad and washable covers.
• Warm face cloths for initial cleaning, and then use disposable wipes.
• Diaper cream (Desitin, Aquaphor, and A+D ointment).
• Vaseline, baby oil.
• For circumcision care, use Bacitracin or Vaseline in a tube, and gauze.
• Diaper pail, such as the “Diaper Genie” or one that doesn’t require refills (which get expensive), such as the “Diaper Champ”; stick-up deodorizer to put inside the pail.
• Basket of changing supplies to keep in a different part of the house where you and baby spend a lot of time.
• Something fun for dads: Daddy Diaper Duty Emergency Tool Kit has all necessary equipment for the dads! (www.daddyshop.com)

Bathing
• Johnson ‘n Johnson disposable baby wash cloths.
• Soap-free, hypoallergenic baby wash and lotion.
• Tiny wash cloths.
• Sponge mat to lay baby on to bathe, or comfortable tub (lay a towel inside of it first to make it softer).
• Hooded towels.
• Baby powder with corn starch.

Baby Care
• Infant nail clippers.
• Thermometer.
• For umbilical cord care use rubbing alcohol and cotton balls.
• Aspirator bulb and saline drops to moisten and clean the nasal passages.
• Johnson ‘n Johnson’s “Baby Relief Kit” – briefcase style kit with products for fever, diaper rash, upset stomachs, coughs and colds.

“Moms Lead Hectic Lives” – Introduction to Moms’ Lifesavers Book

 

One of our Clients, the Author of the Parenting Tips Book Moms’ Lifesavers: Tips to Make Life Easier for New Mothers, is now giving a sneak preview of their book on their website.

Click Here for a PDF of the Introduction, or read below:

 

 

Introduction 

 

Mothers everywhere lead extremely hectic lives! Whether it’s balancing a career while raising children or managing a household as a stay-at-home mom. Throw in schedules, to-do lists, and other activities, time and energy are stretched thin. As mothers, we realized the need for a quick and easy reference guide with common issues regarding babies and young children.

 

We feel very blessed to have a wonderful group of friends and family to share our experiences with. Reveling in the tribulations and commiserating in the trials of raising a young child, we had many invaluable brainstorming opportunities to assist us over the first-time mother hurdles. Now that we are the proud mothers of six children between us, we want to share these tips with others, hoping they may benefit from the myriad of advice we’ve gathered.

 

Knowing that all mothers have creative ideas of their own, we surveyed over one hundred women from around the country, obtaining “tried and true” tips and suggestions on a wide range of parenting topics. We assembled a treasury of ideas and thoughtful responses along with our shared experience. The end result is a book that provides a wealth of practical, helpful advice and information…without a lot of time spent reading! It is presented in a quick-reference format for ease of gathering suggestions on how to handle various infant, toddler, and preschool situations.

 

Each section has space allotted for writing down your own ideas, advice, and information found in other parenting materials. This allows for the continued compilation of ideas, perhaps to share with someone about to have a baby, or even to pass on to the next generation.

 

Our advanced professional training in Special Education and Occupational Therapy has given us a comprehensive background in child development and education. The section “Development from Birth to Age Five” was provided to steer you down the developmental path, with space for recording dates and special reflections when your child reaches milestones along the way.

 

Take good care of yourself as you give endlessly to your children on this amazing journey. Think of the book as one huge play date with a handful of other moms in the same room, offering heartfelt remedies to common issues surrounding parenthood. We hope you will benefit from these “pearls of wisdom”, and that they help you to find some solace amidst these busy and joyful times.

 

Enjoy!
Christine Cohen and Joanne Tocci
