Nutrition for Children
Teaching your children healthy eating habits early on will help your child to stay healthy throughout his or her whole life. Exercise and good food will become the norm rather than the exception - a goal every parent should strive for with their children!

SIDS
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or SIDS, is the leading cause of death in infants up to one year of age. Despite extensive research, doctors still don't have an answer to why this happens. But there are ways you can reduce the risk of your baby becoming one of the 2,500 babies who tragically and unexplainably die of SIDS each year.
Always remember the phrase, "Back to sleep." Babies should be placed on their backs when sleeping. Never put your baby on the side or tummy. This is just as important during daily naps as it is at bedtime.

Coping with Crying
Of course babies cry, but many people don't realize quite how much until they bring their newborn home. A healthy newborn's crying periods can add up to two or three hours a day during the first three months of life. Considering you are suffering from sleep deprivation and are recovering from childbirth, this can be an overwhelming time. We've got some tips to help you get through those sometimes stressful periods of infant crying.
Always remember, a baby can only communicate through crying. Don't expect your baby to immediately stop crying with a few snuggles and songs. This can lead to hurt feelings. If your baby keeps crying even though you are providing comfort, don't take it personally. This is just the way babies are. Your baby loves you whether he or she is crying or not.
