Did you do Kangaroo Care (Skin to Skin) with your Baby ? ♥️

Benifits
IMPROVED SLEEP QUALITY:
Kangaroo care helps babies fall into a longer period of restful, deep sleep - essential for brain development.
REGULATED BODY TEMP:
Thermoregulation occurs during skin-to-skin contact as the mother’s body temperature naturally adjusts to warm baby up or cool him down, depending on his needs.
STABILIZED VITAL SIGNS:
Baby’s heart rate stabilizes, breathing patterns normalize and oxygen saturation levels improve during skin-to-skin contact.

Happy Mother’s Day
To the mother who is new, who is up and down all night.
To the mother whose heart is full, but with empty rooms now.
To the mother who cried today, and wonders if she is enough.
To the exhausted mother who doesn’t know how to answer,
“what did you do all day?’
To the mother who stays at home.
To the mother who works and juggles so many balls.
To the mother who stares at her child in awe, who still can’t believe.
To the mother currently tearing her hair out.
To the mothers who are no longer with us, but always will be.
To the mothers who lift each other up.
To the bonus mothers.
To the mothers who show up every day.
To the mothers waiting to become mothers.
To you.
Place value on the work you do.
When the days feel difficult, that’s because they are.
This is the hardest, yet most rewarding job in the world.
You are not just a person.
You’re a place.
You are someone’s home.
You are a mother.
Happy Mother’s Day

6 key steps for keeping baby teeth cavity-free
* Even before your baby’s first teeth break through, gently wipe gums with a damp cloth or gauze pad after meals.
* As soon as baby teeth appear, gently brush them twice daily with a small, soft-bristled brush and a little fluoride toothpaste (about the size of a grain of rice). You’ll need to brush your child’s teeth at first, gradually helping them learn how to brush as they grow.
* Once your child has two teeth that touch, use a strand of dental floss to clean in between. This helps remove leftover food between teeth and under gums.
* Between ages 3 and 6, teach your child how to brush and floss. Supervise to make sure they reach all their teeth, all sides (front, top and back). Just like adults, kids should brush twice daily for at least two minutes each time, using a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste. Brushing in the morning and evening is usually best. Special picks or pre-threaded flossing tools can make flossing easier for little hands.
* Make sure your child drinks plenty of plain water. In most communities, water supplies have added fluoride to prevent tooth decay.
* Watch your child’s diet carefully. Cavity-causing bacteria feed on sugary foods and drinks, including ones you might think are healthy, such as fruit juice, baked goods and cereal bars made with honey or molasses.

Toys often are everywhere and it may difficult to organize. This is a good reminder to rotate toys. It’s so easy to have your spaces constantly surrounded by toys 😊 Remember you are your child’s favorite and best source of stimulation. The toys are there to facilitate the bonding and help with learning new skills.
