The no-cry sleep solution

While there are still some advocates of leaving the baby to cry until he falls asleep, more and more these methods are proving inadequate for babies. The popular phrase “Crying doesn’t harm a baby” might not, after all, be true anymore.

Recent studies show that leaving a baby to cry produces an increase in the stress hormones; these will trigger physiological responses such as heart rate increase and blood pressure as well as body temperature. The result will be overheating and vomiting due to extreme stress level as well as an increased risk of SIDS in some infants.

There is also evidence that increased levels of stress hormones will have long-term emotional consequences that will affect memory, attention and emotion as well as a predisposition to suffer from stress, anxiety and depression later in life.

If you don’t believe in leaving your baby to cry it out, but you don’t know what else to do, you now have a new option presented by Elizabeth Pantley’s book The No-Cry Sleep Solution: Gentle Ways to Help Your Baby Sleep Through the Night: Foreword by William Sears, M.D. (Pantley).

Pantley a mother of four proposes a step-by-step gentle approach that will guide you on your journey to make your baby sleep through the night without crying. This method has already proved popular in women all across US, Canada and Europe, which have found it invaluable and effective.

Whether your baby sleeps in a cot or in the family bed, whether you breastfeed or bottle feed, E. Pantley provides all sorts of solutions and techniques to suit you because, not all families are the same and each baby is different.

The book starts with helpful information on sleeping and sleeping patterns, advice on best position to place your baby, safety precautions if you co-sleep. It advises to fill a sleep log to identify your baby’s biological sleep patterns before you implement any change, as you are the most appropriate person to identify what is more suitable for you and your baby. It will then help you create a personal sleep plan that will guide you step-by-step to a good night sleep for everyone, mum and baby alike.

The No-Cry Sleep Solution: Gentle Ways to Help Your Baby Sleep Through the Night: Foreword by William Sears, M.D. (Pantley) has proved of invaluable help. A must have for all those families, that believe that a gentle approach to the "cry it out solution" is possible.

Hands free baby bottles

I have just finished a new lens about Podee baby bottles. I have found quite interesting doing the research although there is not so much material available. I think I am going to make a deeper research about other products and accessories that might be available in the market and update this post at a later date. Meanwhile if you want to have a look, here is the lens: www.squidoo.com/podeebottle

Co-education

I was just doing some research on education when I found this video. The term “co-education” is applied not only in the sense on education of boys and girls mix, but also education in the equality, equal opportunities for both sexes in life and education.

Since we are born we are treated in a specific way, talked to in a specific way, dressed in a specific way, just because we are boys or girls. When I saw the video, I thought: “Mmmm, how many people will see themselves reflected?” Sadly more than you think.

This video will give you some food for thought.
