Eat Healthily!
 Last year, a teenager came to me for weight loss advice. Let's call her Suzie. She said she was "desperate" to lose weight for her school Prom. She wanted to lose about 20 pounds in 4 weeks. I said: "Sorry Suzie, the most you can hope for is 8 pounds, maximum." So she went off and starved herself for 4 weeks. What happened? I learned later she lost about 7 pounds, and then developed a HUGE mass of spots. (ouch) Point is, when we stop eating, we stop giving our body the goodness it needs to stay healthy. So whatever you do, don't ignore your health. (BTW, Suzie never made it to the Prom.) |

 Imagine your little baby in her nursery. So happy in the colorful new home you have prepared for her. Watching the Mobile. Lying down comfortably in her crib.
Comfortably in her crib. That depends on the bedding sets you use. Babies have very delicate skin. A baby's skin is so much thinner than adult skin. Some babies are very sensitive to their surroundings.
The first thing you have to take into consideration when it comes to baby bedding, is comfort. Will the fabric make baby's skin itch?
Ideally, the best fabric to use for baby bedding is cotton. Preferably 100% cotton sheets in summer, soft warm flannel for winter. Wool may be itchy but that depends on the baby. |
