Hello there Mommies,
Happy Valentine's Day to all of you!
Some Mommies have shared some great things with me, and here they are for you. Don't forget, I have Enfamil coupons (like $2 - $5 denominations). If you want them, just reply with your information, and I will drop them in the mail to you.
Your friend,
Super Techie Mommie--I added super cause I had twins! :)
Great Products
My best friend came by the house last week with the coolest thing. Her little blessing has allergies (he is only 3.5 months old, go figure), and the doctor told her to give him Benadryl. Well, we all know that medicine is always spit out by little blessings. So, she found a medicine dispenser at Albertson's that has a baby nipple on it. That way, the baby just sucks out the medicine and there is no mess. Is that not cool or what? Well, I have been searching online for one, and I found a couple of cool sites for you guys to check out.
Here is the link to for you to order the medicine dispenser - http://www.greatbabyproducts.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=MUNC-12501&click=862226
Health Update
For those of you with blessings under 12 months old, this will be very beneficial to you. Of course, I have been researching different ailments to see if my blessings are suseptable to them or not. My main 3 concerns right now are SIDS, Autism, and ADHD. Check out these websites when you can because they have some wonderful information:
SIDS
It is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics that children suck a pacifier at bed time to help reduce the risk of SIDS - http://www.munchkin.com/userfiles/AAPrevisedguidelinessids05.pdf
While SIDS occurs in all socio-economic, racial and ethnic groups, African American and Native American babies are two to three times more likely to die of SIDS than Caucasian babies.
• Most SIDS deaths occur when a baby is between 2 and 4 months old; 90% of all SIDS deaths occur before 6 months of age.
• Most babies that die of SIDS appear to be healthy prior to death.
• 60% of SIDS victims are male; 40% are female.
At this time there is no known way to prevent SIDS in all cases, but there are steps parents and caregivers can take to reduce the risk of sudden infant death.
Modifiable risk factors for SIDS include:
- Stomach and side sleep positions
- Soft or loose bedding
- Inappropriate sleep environments
- Bed sharing
- Overheating
- Secondhand smoke
- Maternal alcohol and illegal drug use
Non-modifiable risk factors include:
- Male gender
- Age distribution: 2 to 6 months
- Low birth weight
- Prematurity
- Maternal smoking during pregnancy
- Young maternal age especially mothers less than 18 years old
- Late or no prenatal care
- Fall/winter season
- Higher parity
