Gifts for a baby boy

Blue is synonymous to boys and pink to girls. That is why when choosing gifts for a baby boy, one must look into blue items. It would be horrendous to get a gift in pink!

Aside from blue, green is also acceptable. Baby boys are actually easier to dress up. They just need the basics. It’s actually the girls that have so many whimsical choices.

My best friend will be giving birth soon to a baby girl. I will be her godmother and I’m so excited. I can’t wait to shower this newborn baby girl with gifts that I’ve been dying to get.

It’s so much fun to shop for babies. There are so many cute and adorable items, especially for baby girls. The dresses, onesies, and booties in pink are so nice!  There is so much to choose from, I can spend hours shopping.

Head and eye injuries

A baby’s brain and eyes are fragile and should be treated as such.  Any injury to these areas should be discussed with the baby’s doctor. 
 Head injuries
A child’s head is relatively large for his body size.  When a child sustains a fall from two or more feet high or is in a vehicle accident, Mom and Dad should consult his doctor.  Serious injuries merit a call to 911.  When seri0us injuries occur, do not move the child except when immediate danger is present - a fire would be such an example.  Call the doctor even for apparently mild head injuries, as the child could have suffered a concussion.

Eye injuries
Call a doctor for all eye injuries.  If a foreign object gets into the eye, flush it wilth water for at least 15 minutes.  Don’t rub the eye, and don’t let the child rub his eye.  Don’t apply medication.  It’s also not a good idea to try to remove the object yourself; call a doctor.

Keep enjoying those little ones-they grow up too fast.  And always acknowledge those fine babygifts.

First aid for Baby

One of the most important ways to prepare for your New Arrival is to get some knowledge of first aid.  Parents, grandparents, and babysitters can all prepare for those unexpected bumps and bruises by taking first aid classes and infant cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR.  Then you will be able to remain calm, think quickly, and take proper action when Baby hurts.  Later, we will consider how to handle some of the more common infant injuries and emergencies. 

Of course, I remember when I was a child, almost any hurt could be treated by letting me play with that special toy Aunt Phyllis sent along with that baby boy gift basket.
 

Our first words

unique baby gifts

Languaages around the world have “child words” with repeating syllables.  Like “papa” in Italian and “tata”–grandfather– in Hungarian.  The part of the brain that governs language development, at least in right-handed people, is on the left side of the brain.  this is consistant with the belief that we are born with abilities allowing us to perceive and learn our mother tongue systematically and efficently.  The area of the brain governing language development does not “learn” the language; rather, it is specialized to process language from the start. 

I wonder if the brain is programmed from the start to like those unique baby gifts all of our friends and family bestow upon us at the birth of our babies. . . . 

New Lead Law Empowers CPSC

The new lead law empowers the Consumer Product Safety Commission.  They now have the resources and power to regulate the children’s products and toys industries.  Once only a federal watchdog group, the CPSC, once only able to implement recalls, will be able to enforce and oversee product testing while still in the manufacturing facility, remove unsafe products from store shelves quicker, and penalize companies not following the law.

Prior to this law, the CPSC could look for unsafe items in stores, take consumer reports about injuries and other concerns, and issue recalls only after a hazard was verified.  But NOW the CPSC can monitor the safety of toys and other children’s items before it is actually sold.  Now you can be more assured than ever before that the babygifts you and Baby receive and lead-free and safe.

First Piggy Bank Wasn’t What You Think

Baby piggy banks are popular gifts for the littlest new editions. It makes sense to want to save money for baby’s future, but some may wonder why most piggy banks are in the shape of a pig? And how did this manner of saving money become such a beloved tradition?

Many historians think that this tradition started in the Middle Ages. During this time metal was not widely available and quite expensive. What was available was cheap orange clay called “pygg”. Dishes, jars and cooking pots were usually made of this material. Many families stored spare coins in these “pygg” jars. These jars latter became known as “pygg” banks. And more nearly 500 years later we still use these little jars to store money, only now they’re called “piggy” banks and actually shaped liked pigs.

New Law Banns Lead In Toys

It’s official.  Lead isout.  And it’s out for good in kids toys and merchandise.

The President signed the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act.  Thus, products meant for children under 12 years of age cannot contain lead - at least more than trace amounts - and partially prohibiting phthalates (”thah-lates”).  That’s chemicals used to soften plastics and rubber in toys and child care items.  These chemicals are banned forever.  Three others are still allowed pending additional testing.

It’s a good law, but it should have been in effect long ago.  Long ago the baby gifts available at pkaboobaby.com were already safe.  Keep enjoying those babies while they are babies — they grow up too fast.

Is he really a picky eater?

“Johnny doesn’t like meat and  veggies any more, all he wants to eat is fruit and bread, he used to eat meats and veggies” laments a worried mom to her pediatrician.  The pediatrician tell her  not to worry toddlers go through phases of being “picky eaters”.

Yes your toddler may only eat a little bit of food, but still has lot’s of energy. That is because between the ages of one and five years old,  an appetite slump happens, your toddler is growing at a much slower pace and they don’t need as many calories. They eat what their brains tell them to eat and when to eat.  

Consider this - is  your toddler really eating a small amount of food?  You may be basing their eating habits on your own eating habits. Most adults eat by the clock, out of boredom, or for emotional reasons.  Your toddler is still in tune with is body’s hunger cues,  and will he’ll eat when he is hungry.  So be patient don’t try to force little Johnny into a by the clock eating pattern, research suggest that this may lead to weight problems later on.

So if Johnny doesn’t want to eat when you eat, let him play with that new gift basket of that was was filled to overflowing with all those unique baby boy gifts
