Burping Tips

• Hold your baby upright with his or her head on your shoulder. Support your baby’s back and neck while gently patting the back.

• Sit your baby on your lap. Support your baby’s chest and head with one hand by cradling your baby’s chin in the palm of your hands while resting the heel of your hands on your baby’s chest.

• You can also lay your baby down on your lap while supporting your baby’s head. Make sure it is higher than his or her chest.

Is Your Toddler Not Eating Enough?

It is common among toddlers to be fussy on what they eat or refuse to eat at all. A lot of parents are distracted about it. Below are the reasons why:

• Their appetites vary because of growth spurts and variation in activity.

• They are not growing as fast as babies do.

• They have small stomachs.

• They got a small attention span when it comes to food.

• They want to push boundaries.

Your Child as a Unique Individual

Children differ in terms of distractibility, sensitivity, and activity level. Guardians and caregivers who know and accept these differences are in the right position to give them effective guidance and training.

Fact of the Day

Sneezing and Coughing

Germs can travel wide and far. Sneeze speeds up to 100 miles per hour and brings with it 100, 000 microbes into the air. Teach your child to cover his or her mouth and nose with tissue or into the crook of their arm.

When you follow healthy eating habits, your kids eventually follow your lead. Here are steps you can do:

a. Involve your child in planning and preparing meals.

Fun Ways to Encourage Healthy Teeth

Proper dental care should be taught to children at an early age. A healthy mouth and set of teeth can keep your child from oral infections, diseases, or other teeth problems.

These are ways on how you can make dental hygiene fun for your young one:

• Have them choose their own toothbrush and toothpaste.
• Read books or watch videos about proper oral hygiene.
• Reward your child for good oral care with a gold star or healthy treats.
• Plan a fun activity after a dentist appointment.

Warm and Firm Discipline

Sometimes, you need to draw the line when your child misbehaves or throws a tantrum. A short and calm timeout can help your child cool down and think about what they’ve done.
