			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Babies want to be comfortable while they are sleeping just as we adults do. Choosing pajamas that work for both your baby and you will give both of you a better night&#8217;s sleep.</p>
<p>By Daryl Plaza</p>
<p><a target="_blank" style="float: right;" href="http://nandugreen.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551c4c4d88833012876f41c4c970c-pi"><img style="margin: 0px 0px 5px 5px;" src="http://nandugreen.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551c4c4d88833012876f41c4c970c-320wi" alt="Sleeping baby" /></a> Choosing infant pajamas can often be a challenge for parents or guardians because there are so many things to consider when purchasing baby pajamas. There are so many different colors, designs, styles, and prices to consider.</p>
<p>You may be surprised to learn this, but infants and babies are not quite as picky as older children and adults are when it comes to the type of children&#8217;s sleepwear that they wear.</p>
<p>This article will give you some good tips for choosing infant pajamas and baby pajamas. Whether you are buying sleepwear for your own baby or a loved ones baby, you will find some tips that will be helpful.</p>
<p>One important thing to keep in mind is that you want to be as practical as possible when picking your infant pajamas. There are a wide variety of fancy sleepwear available, but remember, infants and older babies spit up and make messes.</p>
<p>This means that the first thing that you will want to make certain of is that the pajamas that you choose can be washed using a washing machine. In many instances, fancy pajamas will have to be hand washed or taken to the cleaners.</p>
<p>The next consideration that needs to be made when choosing infant pajamas and baby pajamas is the range of mobility that the child will have when they are placed in the pajamas. Highly decorative pajamas and tight fighting pajamas will hinder the child&#8217;s ability to move easily.</p>
<p>When the child figures out that they are unable to move comfortably, it will likely make them very unhappy. It will not be a pleasant night if you have a baby that is unhappy and crying. It is much better to purchase inexpensive, loose fitting, plain pajamas and have a happy baby than to buy expensive, fancy, uncomfortable pajamas.</p>
<p>You also need to consider the fact that infants need to have their diapers changed frequently. Because babies tend to get messy and need to be changed into something clean, you need to look for sleepwear that are easy to get on and off.</p>
<p>This means you should buy baby pajamas that are easy to put on and get off. Look for sleepwear with Velcro closure or buttons. If you heed these tips in this guide, you will be able to choose the perfect set of pajamas.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We all know about the damage the sun can do to our bodies. To help protect your little one&#8217;s eyes, look into getting him or her a pair of baby sunglasses. After all, prevention is key.</p>
<p>By Imran Ali</p>
<p>Baby Sunglasses are often over looked when considering sun protection for your child but as studies have shown neglecting the eye area can lead to a range of problems down the line for your baby&#8217;s sight. Years of sun exposure can lead to a variety of eye problems, from macular degeneration to eyelid cancers so get your little one used to wearing sunglasses sooner rather than later.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" style="float: left;" href="http://nandugreen.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551c4c4d88833012875600c84970c-pi"><img class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00e551c4c4d88833012875600c84970c  yui-img" style="margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px;" src="http://nandugreen.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551c4c4d88833012875600c84970c-320wi" alt="Baby with sunglasses" /></a> The most common reason why parents give up on baby sunglasses is how difficult it is to keep them on the baby&#8217;s little face. Hard plastic frames irritate the baby causing him to pull them off or smaller babies will find it hard to get a pair of baby sunglasses to fit snugly so baby sunglasses are usually a failure before they become useful being lost or thrown out of the stroller by an irritated toddler.</p>
<p>Frubi Shades have a really good baby range of sunglasses that will combat almost all of the problems mentioned before. The tinted Ultraguard lenses give 100% UV and blue light protection and reduce infrared as well so the eye is well protected from the dangerous rays of the sun. The frames are made from foam which is soft to the touch and very hard wearing, they will definitely withstand being thrown out of the stroller every now and then. The soft foam frame wraps around the baby&#8217;s head and secures at the back with Velcro so they will fit a range of head sizes Frubi recommend that the range will fit babies aged 6 months to 6 years. They have temple pads that provide extra protection from the sun shining through the sides of the frames and they come in a variety of fun colors and styles to suit all tastes. Ranging from about $15 a pair of these baby sunglasses will probably save you money down the line as they are difficult to break or lose because of the secure straps and will grow with the babies head lasting him a few years at least.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Make bath time fun for your baby and less stressful for you by having everything you need within hands reach before beginning the baby&#8217;s bath. You will both have a better time of it and your baby will enjoy taking baths more.</p>
<p>By Gabriella Gometra</p>
<p><a target="_blank" style="float: right;" href="http://nandugreen.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551c4c4d888330120a65eff7b970b-pi"><img class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00e551c4c4d888330120a65eff7b970b " style="margin: 0px 0px 5px 5px;" src="http://nandugreen.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551c4c4d888330120a65eff7b970b-320wi" alt="Baby in bathtub" /></a> When you begin your baby&#8217;s bath, there are quite a few things you will want to have handy. Before you undress the baby and put him or her in the tub, you will want to have these things within reach. If you do not, you will need to do without some essentials, or take a wet baby with you to fetch them. You cannot leave a baby alone in a bath.A handy thing to have is a basket with all your bath essentials.</p>
<p>Some things you will want to have at your changing and dressing station part of the time. You can fetch them before you run the bath water or have an extra one just for your bath basket. Some of the things you want to have nearby for your baby&#8217;s bath are a towel, a wash cloth, and baby shampoo. Many baby shampoos can also double as a body wash, so that makes it a bit easier to deal with. While any mild shampoo or liquid castile soap is fine for babies, a baby&#8217;s shampoo will be tear-free, or in other words, it will not sting if it gets in the eyes.</p>
<p>You should have a bath thermometer to test the water. You could make do with your wrist or elbow to test water temperature, but many bath thermometers for babies double as a rubber ducky or some other kind of bath toy, so why not have one? It is also nice to have a collection of bath toys. These can be left near the bath tub. There are net bags you can buy to hold the toys as they air dry over the tub.</p>
<p>If your baby needs to take some kind of medicine, such as acetaminophen or an antibiotic, bring their medicine to the tub. A baby will almost always drip or drool their medicine. By giving them their medicine at the tub, it is super easy to clean up the sticky mess afterwards.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" style="float: left;" href="http://nandugreen.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551c4c4d888330120a65f01d0970b-pi"><img class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00e551c4c4d888330120a65f01d0970b " style="margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px;" src="http://nandugreen.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551c4c4d888330120a65f01d0970b-320wi" alt="Baby getting a bath" /></a>You need to decide where you will be undressing and dressing your baby relative to the tub. If you want to do it right by the tub, you can quarter fold an adult towel to make a nice soft pad to go underneath your baby, and undress or dress him or her on the floor by the bathtub. If this is what you will be doing you will need to remember to bring a clean diaper, diaper ointment, clothes and baby comb with you to the bathroom.</p>
<p>Another approach is to undress your baby at their usual changing station, wrap him or her in a towel, and bring them to the tub. After<br />
the bath, you wrap the baby again and go back to your changing station. With this approach you can minimize baby urine getting on you or a clean towel if you merely loosen the tapes on the diaper and keep the diaper on the baby until you get to the tub. If you must deal with a soiled diaper immediately before a bath, you can clean up the baby as you usually would after a soiled diaper and possibly use two baby towels &#8212; one for before bath and one for after the bath.</p>
<p>With a little forethought you can have everything you need for you<br />
baby&#8217;s bath in a convenient place. Under no circumstances should a baby or young child be left alone in the bathtub, even for a moment. Being organized will lessen aggravation and give you more freedom to play and have fun at your baby&#8217;s bath time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You want the perfect room for your newborn baby &#8211; from the crib to the changing table to the theme of room. After all, your baby will be spending a lot of time in this room. Here are some great theme ideas to brighten and lighten up your newborn&#8217;s first room.</p>
<p>By: Criss White</p>
<p><a target="_blank" style="float: right;" href="http://nandugreen.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551c4c4d888330120a6104b54970c-pi"><img class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00e551c4c4d888330120a6104b54970c  yui-img" style="margin: 0px 0px 5px 5px;" src="http://nandugreen.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551c4c4d888330120a6104b54970c-320wi" alt="Baby yawning" /></a> So you are going to welcome a new baby into your home! Now comes a big decision. What theme to use for the nursery?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a good idea to design the room so that it can be easily modified as your child grows. Remember your baby is only in a bassinet or crib for a very short time.</p>
<p>Color themes are a good basic theme idea if you want to keep it simple. Use different shades of the color and decorate with a variety of baby themed fixtures and decorations. Blue is good for boys and can represent tranquility and pink can be a good traditional color for girls. Green and yellow are some other popular color choices for a nursery. The advantage of just choosing a color is that it will allow you greater flexibility in the objects you choose to decorate the room with and also as the child gets older, you can replace baby themed objects with more appropriate items as the children reach their teen years.</p>
<p>Animal themes are very popular for boys or girls and you can find wallpaper covered with cute kittens or puppies, or the walls can be painted and stickers of animals applied. Maybe you know someone who would paint a mural on one of the nursery walls &#8211; or maybe you could do one yourself. If you are not sure of your drawing skills there are plenty of patterns and tracing gadgets to assist you. Ducks and teddy bears are also popular theme ideas for both boys and girls.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" style="float: left;" href="http://nandugreen.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551c4c4d888330120a6104f61970c-pi"><img class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00e551c4c4d888330120a6104f61970c  yui-img" style="margin: 0px 5px 5px 0px;" src="http://nandugreen.typepad.com/.a/6a00e551c4c4d888330120a6104f61970c-320wi" alt="Mobile" /></a> Nursery rhymes are ideal as a theme for the nursery. There are mobiles, lamps, bedding and furniture readily available with nursery rhyme motifs. Buy a night light to match the chosen rhyme.</p>
<p>Underwater themes are also excellent for a baby&#8217;s room &#8211; water is often equated with peace and calm and one of the things that you want to promote in your baby&#8217;s sleeping quarters is a sense of peace. Soothing colors of pastel greens and blues help create the illusion. Mobiles hung from the ceiling and a lamp with a revolving lampshade will create the impression of gentle movement. Adding sea creatures, like octopuses, fish, and sea horses can further enhance the playful setting for your child.</p>
<p>Children&#8217;s literature is another source for ideas. Any Beatrix Potter book will give you child- friendly characters that are readily available in all forms of bedding, wallpaper, lamps, ornaments and dishes. Dr. Seuss provides magical delights in creatures governed only by your imagination. There are rugs with &#8216;Thing One&#8217; and &#8216;Thing Two&#8217; depicted. There are ornaments showing the Cat in the Hat balancing a fabulous array of objects, and, of course, the Cat&#8217;s famous hat could be hung on a peg on the wall.</p>
<p>If you still don&#8217;t know what theme to go with, another option is to just go shopping and see what items are available in your local mall or children&#8217;s store. Seeing these items may give you even more ideas on how to decorate your newborn baby&#8217;s nursery. There are so many ideas and no right or wrong choices for this task. Make the room a place where you and your baby will be happy and peaceful.</p>
