BABY sleep tips FOR SUMMER; DOCKATOT teams UP WITH project night NIGHT

Summer time can be tricky when it comes to getting babies to sleep. With longer daytime hours, vacation plans and days spent at the beach or pool, some babies don’t take very well to the change in atmosphere and their sleep schedule suffers. The baby sleep experts at DockATot have come up with some of the best baby sleep tips for summer to help you get your little ones to rest soundly wherever you are this summer. –

Baby Tips: Sleeping in the Summer

Make the room as Dark as Possible:One of the greatest challenges in the summer is getting the kids to bed when it’s still light out. Our bodies pick up on the smallest amounts of light which can inhibit our best sleep. Your best bet is to make the room as dark as possible by using room darkening shades or curtains. This creates a “cave like” feeling and makes sleep more feasible. use these for nap time and bedtime. You can also grab a set of inexpensive room darkening curtains and a tension rod to use when traveling over the summer. The tension rod will fit to most size windows whether you’re in hotel or visiting family.

Stick to a regular ScheduleDuring the summer, especially when vacationing, it’s hard to stick to a regular schedule but it will benefit the entire family in the long run.Try to establish some structure to your days and create a summertime routine that aligns as closely as possible with your regular schedule. keep wake time, bedtime, and nap times the same. That will help keep your family’s circadian rhythms on track.

Keep bedroom Temps cool EnoughIt’s very hard to sleep when it’s hot. Babies’ bodies do not regulate temperature as well as adults do and they can become overheated more easily than older kids and adults. keep the room temp set around 68-72°F. bring in a fan if necessary to cool down the room, just make sure the air isn’t blowing on the child. during the daytime, pull the shades during peak hours of sun to help keep the room cool as well. dress your baby in a simple cotton sleeper, lightweight cotton swaddle or onesie. using DockATot for napping or resting can also help as it doesn’t harbor heat and creates an ideal microclimate for babies.

Don’t skip NapsIt’s hard to stick to regular nap times in the summer, but kids need it more so in the summer when they’re out in the sun more and more physically active. try hard to squeeze in a nap and if they fight it, insist on quiet alone time in the middle of the day to recharge.

Stick to a ScheduleGetting kids to stay on schedule during summer travel is just plain difficult. traveling kids may resist bedtime, refuse naps, sleep restlessly, or wake up earlier than expected — resulting in cranky kids and worn-out parents. So insist on a semi-regular sleep schedule to keep everyone happy. The key is recreating the child’s bedtime routine as closely as possible in the new location. maintain a consistent bedtime and bring along bedtime books and familiar bedding and toys to comfort tired kids and encourage sounder sleep. DockATot is a must-have when traveling for many parents, as it creates a consistent sleep space so babies can nap soundly on the go wherever they are.

This summer also marks an exciting partnership between DockATot and project night Night. DockATot will be donating $1 for each DockATot sold on their website through the end of July. Project night Night helps homeless children (ages 0-12) get a good night’s sleep by donating a “night night bag” filled with sleep essentials, like a book, blanket, and stuffed animal, to homeless shelters. The initiative donates over 25,000 “Night night Packages” each year to homeless children who need childhood essentials to have a concrete and predictable source of security and an increased exposure to high-quality literacy materials during their time of upheaval. By providing objects of reliable comfort, project night Night reduces trauma and advances the emotional and cognitive well-being of the children they serve. DockATot is proud to contribute to this incredible charity!

korábban, 2010. júliusában tett közzé. Így van, nyaralok!

Teniszcipő, papucs, vízcipő: Mit viselhet egy gyerek kemping-kiránduláson?

A szüleim nemrégiben három éjszakára vitték a Kiddos Camping -t. (Igen, tudom, mennyire hihetetlenül szerencsések vagyunk.) A mostohaanyám beszámolt nekem, hogy az egyes gyermekeket magukkal hozott két cipő párja megfelelő volt a fantasztikus szabadban.

Az 1. pár Crocs. Mindkettőmnek mind a crocs stílusú, amely szerintem úgy néz ki, mint az unokatestvérek, hogy beszéljenek. Helyesek a patakok áthaladására és függőágyakba történő lengésre. Crocbands-nak hívják őket, és rajongói vagyunk a rock zenekar játékának, tehát azt hiszem, hogy ezt a cipőt a háztartásomban szánták. Keresse meg őket az Amazonon.

A 2. pár az UGG Boot Knock offs. A nap hidegebb óráira szánták a legdivatosabbnak, ha piros és fekete jávorszarvas-témájú pizsamával párosulnak. Keresse meg őket az Amazonon.

És ez, barátaim, a Kid Camping Cipőcsomagolási Lista összege.

További kemping -bölcsesség: Az egyetlen dolog, amit szeretném, ha a korábbi kemping -utakon egy kis bili szék lenne. Még azután, hogy Scarlett már régóta bili volt, ő volt – és még mindig – különös volt a WC -kkel kapcsolatban. Inkább pisil a bokrokban, mint olyan WC -t használ, amely túl hangosan öblít. Amikor a 2. számú, megtudtuk, hogy inkább napokig tartja, mint egy ijesztő hurkot. A jövőben kölcsönzök egy hordozható bili ülést, amelyet elviselhetek.

diplomáját ma a csecsemők, akik inspirálták ezt az oldalt, elindítják a nyilvános óvodát. Szent makaróni és sajt.

A tükröződés pillanatát ma.

Ahogyan Julian és Holden nőttek, felnőttünk a helyszínen, és tevékenységeket adtunk a kisgyermekek, majd az óvodások számára. De most mi van?

Mivel Heather és én küzdünk annak érdekében, hogy egyensúlyba hozzuk az elkötelezettségünket, hogy támogassuk az igazi újonc anyák öncentrikus vágyát, hogy hitelesen blogoljunk és saját életünket benyújtsuk, gyakran azzal érvelünk, hogy olvasóink hogyan reagálhatnak az általunk írottra. Félünk, hogy a friss új anyukák nem lesznek képesek kapcsolatba lépni a cipőzsinóról szóló órák és a foci gyakorlat meséivel.

A legfontosabb oldalról, ha ragaszkodunk az ápolási melltartókhoz és a szülési szabadsághoz, akkor semmit sem kínálunk társainknak, akikkel a 2000 -es évek közepén beléptünk az anyaság világába. Természetesen néhányan újra csinálják, de nem újoncok. (Bár nem vagyunk mindannyian újoncok? Örökké?)

Julian Swinging, ugyanazon a héten elindult a webhely.

Julian ugyanabban a lendületben, a múlt héten.

Tehát mit gondolsz? Újszülött anyukák, örülsz, hogy elolvassz nagy gyerekeinkről, vagy átgálják a szemed, amikor róluk beszélünk? RSS előfizetők, reméljük, hogy ma átkattintasz és mérlegel. Hány évesek a gyerekeid? Mióta olvasod az újonc anyukákat?

a második helyen a rendszeres újonc anyukám nehézségeiben a másodikban, amikor újra kiszállnak a házból.

Ha csecsemője nagyszerű hangulatban van (vagy jobb, alvás!), Húzza ki a „biztonságos helyeket” a regionális vásárlási célpontokban, ahol táplálkozhat, és módosíthatja a csecsemőt. Ez lehetővé teszi, hogy mindennap kijuthasson a házból, és megértse, hogy nem kell versenyeznie az órával, hogy hazaérjen.

A kitűzött dolgok:

Asztalok cseréje a mellékhelyiségekben

Kényelmes székek az ápoláshoz

A többi anyukák által a babakocsikban vagy a fuvarozókban csecsemőkkel rendelkező úti célok

Does it seem like an effort to get your children to say anything to you besides, “Fine” and “What’s for dinner?” lack of communication can make parents feel closed off from their own kids.But don’t despair! You can get kids to speak with you — really. try these six suggestions from experts:

1: Don’t compare yourself to TV families.If you view shows like modern family or The middle and wonder why your kids aren’t as chatty as the kids on those shows, you’re not alone. “Parents see kids talking to their parents on TV and they start worrying that they’re not doing enough of it,” says Carl Grody, LISW, MSW, a social worker who specializes in child, adolescent and family therapy in Columbus, Ohio. “Those [TV] parents have scriptwriters and 22 minutes of airtime to resolve problems. In real life, it takes longer to make changes, but the changes are real, not made up.”

2: pause and take a deep breath.Telling your kids you’re upset about their one-word answers will only make the problem worse. “If you seem jittery, you may be projecting this to your kids and that tension is much more likely to push them away than it is to draw them in,” Grody adds. Calm down and put things in perspective. You’re probably doing better than you think in the communication department.

3: quiet your inner interviewer.Instead of peppering your child with questions every day, ask him just one. “This may seem insufficient, but as you have much more success getting him to answer you once, your child will feel much more comfortable chatting and may even start volunteering much more information,” Grody says.

4: put down your phone!If you want your kids to speak with you, set aside your cell, tablet or any other electronic distraction, says Loni Coombs, author of You’re Perfect…and other Lies parents Tell. Make your body language open and assuring: turn your whole body toward your child and make eye contact. “This is important, because when there is something really essential that they need to talk about, they will feel like they can come to you because they know you will listen.”

5: Make meals fun.Since mealtimes are often when many families gather, make that time an pleasurable one. draw out your kids by hiding questions under each plate. Or have each family member write out a question, suggests Coombs. “Everyone feels much more talkative when there’s food involved,” Coombs says. “Sharing in the preparation of the meal is also a good time to talk.”

6: consider instituting family meetings.To create an environment where conversation is encouraged, schedule times several days a week to get together and share your thoughts as a family. “This becomes part of the family ritual and encourages conversation and sharing,” says Richard Horowitz, a parenting trainer and author of family centered Parenting. and to keep things going, avoid asking open-ended questions. “Instead of asking, ‘How was your day?’, which often leads to one-word answers, ask, ‘What was the best thing and worst thing that happened in school today?’” Horowitz suggests. “And always respond with non-judgmental comments.”Photo: Corbis Images

Invisible Empires by Sara Groves – music that Moves and influences – The healthy mothers magazine Christmas wish list (Giveaway)

I love listening to music and believe that it can help you deal with stress. I listen to a variety of different genres and gravitate towards the songs that touch on my current emotions. The music of Christian artist, Sara Groves is beautiful, soothing and emotionally uplifting.

Sara’s newest CD, unnoticeable Empires, explores numerous aspects of faith from the miracle of love, the expansion of modern science, to a conventional gospel song; Eyes on the Prize.

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmrTvDoqvMM]

All of the music and many of the lyrics were written by Sara Groves. The melodies are stylish and the words will touch your soul. As a busy Christian woman I could really relate to the final track, Finite. This song talks about the pressures that modern women face from trying to look younger and staying thin to keeping the peace at home. In the end we can not live up to the world’s expectations. God is in control and we can only do so much. These words really touched me, “What God implied by woman, I’m hard pressed to find, I’m chasing paper dreams, and a guilt undefined, combating to stay younger, trying to stay thin and in control, searching for a magic formula, A thing to soothe our souls, Wondern’ where the peace went…, I am finite I come to an end,” Sara Groves, Finite. Ez annyira igaz.

Sara Groves’ unnoticeable Empires is the ideal Christmas gift for the special woman in your life. The music and lyrics is beautiful, touching and will inspire anybody who listens to it. You can purchase unnoticeable Empires at saragroves.com.
