How To Train Baby To Fall Asleep
What’s the most important thing for parents to keep in mind when preparing sleep training? You have to prepare yourself for the fact that it’s going to be hard, listening to your baby cry is painful, but it can help to think of it as a health issue. The earlier you start “sleep training” the better. All babies are physically able to sleep through the night by the age of six months, so this is a logical time to begin training. However, most parents will need to begin official sleep training at between three and six months, depending on the individual child.
1. Start on a Friday
2. Don’t Respond to Cries Immediately, follow the routine that you’ve established. But when your child begins to cry, wait a little longer than usual to go back into his bedroom.
3. Don’t Pick Up Baby. When you go into the room, pat your baby on the back and reassure him that everything is going to be OK. He may not stop crying, but after you reassure him, you need to gently tell him it’s time for bed and leave the room.
4. Lengthen Your Response Time
Baby Under Six May Get Poisoned By Drinking Water
The Johns Hopkins Children’s Center’s scientists at Baltimore, US had worn all parents not to give their under 6 months’ babies some water. According to their research, all babies under 6 months old will get poisoned, if they are often given water especially in large amount.

Impact of Drug Consumption During Pregnancy
Pregnancy is something that every couple has been expected, but sometimes somehow the mom-to-be is no always healthy. Sometimes mom-to-be must consume some kinds of drugs.
In an article, as I quoted from yahoo news, a research study which was made by Dr. Anick Berard (the University of Montreal in Quebec) showed that many pregnant women still get medications long known to cause birth defects. Some medications with known fetal risk, such as drugs that control epilepsy, are essential during pregnancy
Women should understand the side effects of any drug they are taking — especially drugs treating a chronic condition — and plan pregnancies to avoid or minimize risks such drugs pose to babies, Berard added. A total of 6.3 percent (6,871 women) did so for at least one medication known to pose a risk to the fetus. Specially, terminations occurred in 47 percent of the pregnancies exposed to drugs with known fetal risks. Six percent of these pregnancies ended in miscarriage.
Berard’s team further identified birth defects in 8.2 percent of 2,842 infants exposed to risky drugs during gestation and available for assessment, compared with 7.1 percent of the 59,287 infants not exposed. The investigators call on doctors caring for women of childbearing age to conduct a thorough medication review prior to a planned pregnancy, or as soon as an unplanned pregnancy is recognized.
