Tooth care

Kobi’s teeth is almost complete now. There are still growing now adays that I observed on the lower part of his gums and I am so glad that everything is okay with his health while his  teeth is growing. Some baby’s I knew that when their teeth starts to grow , they lose their bowel movement and some babies will got fever.

In my baby’s case, since he has complete vitamins that’s maybe the reason why their teeth grows normally and his health was not affected on it.

So many ways of taking care of our teeth’s baby and here’s one that I found while surfing the net. I guess this would help your baby get the best care from you..

baby.jpg1. Start cleaning your child’s mouth even before her teeth come in. Wipe the gums off after each feeding with a warm, wet washcloth or a dampened piece of gauze wrapped around your finger. You can also buy thimble like, soft rubbery devices (they fit over your index finger) to use for rubbing off excess food.

2. Once the teeth begin coming in, start taking care of them right away. Many parents think baby teeth aren’t important because they’re eventually replaced by permanent ones. But these first teeth preserve the spacing for the permanent ones and help baby chew and talk. If they’re not cared for properly the can decay, leading to a gum infection called gingivitis, which can affect the spacing of permanent teeth.

3. Watch for cavities. The first signs of cavities in baby teeth are discoloration and minor pitting. Putting baby to bed with a bottle of milk (or worse, juice) is notorious for causing cavities. Don’t leave your infant with a bottle for long periods of time, especially if you notice he’s no longer feeding and is just using the bottle for comfort.

4. Follow meals with water. Most infant foods easily wash off baby’s teeth with just a drink of water after meals. But it’s good to introduce a toothbrush (choose a very soft one) as soon as possible, so baby can get used to having it in his mouth. You probably won’t need to use the brush to actually clean baby’s teeth until he’s eating only table foods (and has a significant number of teeth), at around 18 months. However, you’ll want to gently clean your child’s teeth with a toothbrush or thimblelike cleaner and some bicarbonate of soda if your toddler has eaten sticky, sugary foods.

5. Begin using a pea-size amount of nonfluoride toothpaste once baby is about age 2. Wait until at least age 3, when your child is old enough not to swallow the toothpaste, before introducing the fluoride kind.

6. Regulate baby’s fluoride intake. Even though your baby isn’t using a fluoride toothpaste, he should get enough fluoride — important for preventing tooth decay — from drinking tap water. Most communal water supplies have it added just for this beneficial purpose. Ask your doctor about fluoride supplements baby can take once he’s 6 months old if your tap water is not fluoridated or your child doesn’t drink any tap water.

7. Schedule a dental exam. The American Dental Association recommends that baby get his first dental exam at age 1, but most pediatricians agree that the first visit can wait until age 3, as long as you practice good home care.

If you take good care of this first set of pearly whites, you can establish good dental habits for years to come.

I’m sure this would really help for those mother and incoming mothers to give the best care of their kids.

Having a healthy smile makes your kids smile all the way…

Rainy seasons

In this rainy seasons, I make sure that my baby often take Vitamin C . His older sibs already got cough and cold so I am more aware of my baby’s health.  Yesterday I noticed that he has runny nose that he got from me so I’m quite worried if he get infected with my illness.

I often told my house buddies to always give water to Kobi coz water is the best therapy especially this rainy seasons. Drinking juices and lots of water is a must for all children at this time.

I also told  my eldest daughter also to not eat junk foods since she has UTI before so early preventions is better than cure.

Mango shake

I always wanted to give proper nutrition for my baby and also with my other two kids. Moms are always eager to find right nutrition for their growing kids and so they take time to cook veggies and buy fruits  just to ensure that kids are on balance diet.

green-mango-shake1.PNGThe last time I made mango shake for my kids, they were really find it great to taste it. It was the first time to taste my baby a mango shake and he really find it good. I just try my newly blender which has mixer also. I bought it for less that time. After making everything, I put it just in 5 minutes in my ref and immediately serve it to my kids.

Giving the right nutrition for every kids is a task for every mothers. Though I’m a working mom, but I’m pretty sure that my kids deserve the right serving of food which I prepared for them. For them to grow healthier and away from diseases .

Happy mom

k1.JPGSo happy that Kobi’s teeth are growing and quite complete now. He is back to his normal weight and gained a lot of weight. Mom’s desire is to see his child healthy and away from diseases always .Luckily, he is quite okay.

Like I said before, I always monitored my baby to his  food intake while I am away with him the whole day and I just entrust it to his nanny.

A working mom is not really an easy task and since I belong to Accounting Department, I’m still happy that I’m not busy right now checking Small Business Accounting Software. I’ll just update my report and ready directly to Accounting Software. I am not in charge in bookkeeping but because of high technology now, all reports can be done easily with Small Business Bookkeeping Software.

After my reports, I take some time to call up Kobi’s nanny to check if my baby is physically okay, his status while he’s awake, his foods and his moods for the day. I’m also texting my eldest daughter Kate  in her school activities with her younger bro also.

After I’ve heard with my kids current status, that’s the time that I felt relax and go back again to my paperworks.

UTI Proper care

Checking the right kind of food for the baby is really a must for working mom like me. Since I am not with my baby the whole I always gave instructions to the one who take good care of my baby. His 3 meals, vitamins and juices that he had to take. Not only with my baby but other two kids of mine. Since they are already exposed to any foodstuff like junk foods, instant noodles and other spicy foods, I often told them that it’s not good to eat more often with that kind of foodstuff.

fruit-and-veggies-keep-you-young1.gifKate was four year old that time when she suffered from urinary tract infection and that’s I always give her a reminder to do not eat foods that not good to her body. I guess D Mannose are responsible to this matter.

With too many herbal products that cures UTI just like this D Mannose Powder , I think it is better to trust to an expertise with regards to this matter.D Mannose for Urinary Tract Infection already proved to be effective safe and fast for healing urinary tract infection.

It’s also good to teach our child to drink eight glasses of water everyday to cleanse their body from eating toxic foods and can also make our child free from diseases by just drinking lots of water. Eating fruits and veggies also makes the young child grow and free from all inevitable illness though it’s really unavoidable that they could also get diseases from their classmates and the kids around since they are exposed to that but I guess it’s hard when you let them eat the right kind of foods.

Right milk for you baby

After eight months I gave breastmilk to baby, I shifted to bottle feeding since I had enough milk that time to support him so I preferred to buy him formula milk . I was consulted to my pedia prior on giving him formula milk. Since my baby is allergenic to whatever food intake, his pedia suggested to NAN H.A. milk.

breast-feeding.jpgFor one week using that milk, I guess he finds it good and like the taste of it. Until now that he’s one year and six months already, he still using that milk. That last time I shifted to other milk which is also quite affordable, he got an allergy so I shifted quickly to the first one .

Right now, Kobi drinks so fast milk during late at night. So even I sleep tight, he really cried a lot asking milk for him. So I request Dad to prepare some milk for him just to satisfy his needs .

My baby can consumed 900 grams milk twice a week so sometimes I am run out of my budget. But I am more fortunate still to charge it to my credit card. My credit card is very essential stuff those times that I am shortfall. Try to click this site for more inquiries http://www.applyfast.com/Average-Credit.php .

Formula milk with nutritious contents is really  pricey at this time. Well, I still prefer my own milk for my baby coz giving long time feeding with my baby with my own milk makes my baby away from illness compared to kids who is dependent on formula milk since from the start. I guess smart kids really the outcome of breast feed. That’s what I think hehe.

Proud mom

Growing kids like Kobi is indeed a tough job to start. Kobi is one year and 6 months this Sept.24 and right now he is trying to discover new things little by little. He has the attitude already that when someone would argue with his interest, he suddenly cried or he fight back to someone who makes him cry.

Being a mother to Kobi really needs patience to check all the things that he had been doing, the food that he take in to his mouth, his nutrition and all the things that he needed as a young boy and as son to me. Being not with him the whole day and to my two kids also since I’m a working , I always have the effort to check them what they’re doing at home / school and hoping that everything is alright with them like theses days that Kobi has lose weight because of inevitable illness.

I am just making everything to make my kids grow the way they wanted to. Good upbringing really starts at home. Taking care of them ,teaching them  to study their lessons very well, help making their assignments, giving them proper nutrition would lead them to a better person someday. I really long for that. I dreamed that someday they would be proud of their parents because of wonderful thoughts and advises I and their dad shared with them.

In the future, if they are matured already and they can handle things easily and knows how to manage on their own ,then they can get anything what they want. If they want some car, student credit card and they can manage themselves then why not?

I am just teaching them being independent on their own to be able to stand and think properly on whatever endeavor they take. I always wanted the good things for my three kids so as early as right now, I am molding them every single step they did.

Amoeba

After Kobi’s extreme cough and mild colds, another illness that makes Kobi lose weight quickly. I was so worried that time that his nanny called up me at the office informing me that my baby boy had suffering liquid stool with red blood on it. I just keep calm that time knowing the situation but when I arrived at home and saw his liquid discharge with blood I rushed immediately to the hospital and let my baby check his stool. The doctor gave a first aid medicine like hydrite- a solution to be added on 100ml of water and let the baby drink on it while having liquid discharging to be able to regain the liquid taken from him.The doctor also gave a medicine on diarrhea to stop it, OMX capsule that will help his intestine to feel good and a note for stool examination for the following day. So right after, I am less worried of my baby’s situation and so I sleep tight since my baby felt good that night.

On the next morning, I let my baby bring to his pedia coz the situation is still the same. I took some stool and put on an empty vial and submit to the laboratory for stool examination. And it’s positive, he got an amoeba that cause my baby cried everytime his tummy was in pained. My baby was so helpless that time but only right medication and often check of the intakes he took to his mouth makes him feel alright.

Thank God, after 4 days of taking medicnies, he finally fine now but he still continued taking medicines to be able to complete the seven days suspension.

He’s not really on appetite to eat solid foods coz he only depend on milk. Maybe later that he’s totally fine, I guess he’s appetite will be back into normal.

Orange juice

o.jpgBabies should have a proper nutrition intake to be able to maintain his shiny hair, smooth skin, glowing eyes and energetic body feature.

o3.jpgFrom 6 months old up to this time I always give orange juice for Kobi to be able to sustain his healthy vigorous body. I see to it that I bought a fresh Ponkan orange for him and it really works for his healthy body right now.

So easy to prepare an orange juice for him. I just squeeze it and put on the glass and extracted the seeds and then transferred it to the bottle feed. So simple way to prepare fresh and nutritious juice for my baby. Usually i prepared 2 ponkan and I make it 3 when it has not enough fluid.

Kobi be able to drink 4 ml directly. He loves the natural sweetened orange juice and away from illness.

Proper nutrition

It is important to a mother of taking a right nutrition while she is pregnant. When I was pregnant to Kobi I see to it that I eat the right kind of food from breakfast, lunch and dinner. I must see to it that veggies and fruits are present though I don’t feel the food that I intake but I have to force myself just to have a proper nutrition for my incoming baby. Well, during those days, my OB gynie invited me for pregnancy seminar that time and I’ve learned so many things on proper caring of a baby while preparing for birth and everything about pregnancy awareness. On the next door, I noticed that there were also group of young people conducted a seminar about drug rehab program and they also cited about cocaine treatment and some other interesting topics. That was a great seminar for youngsters to become aware of drug rehab program.

The person who conducted our seminar talked about the full coverage about infancy that a proper nutrition plays a significant part in promoting optimal growth and development, strengthening the immune system, and enhancing social and cognitive ability to an infant. During the first year of life, the infant’s weight should triple, and length should increase by 50 percent. Growth and development is more rapid during the first year of life than at any other time. Because of this amazing growth, the infant requires an adequate intake of calories and essential nutrients. Good nutrition, along with a loving, appropriately stimulating environment, is essential for normal development.

It is really important for a mother and soon to be mothers to have a good nutrition for their baby. For a mother it is good to read more books on how to handle her pregnancy and how to obtain a proper diet.
