Answers to common parenting questions by Elizabeth Pantley

June 9th, 2013
All parents have questions about child rearing from time to time. If you don’t have time to read a whole book for each answer, we offer you  quick answer to most common questions by Elizabeth Pantley, best selling author of No Cry Solut

Parenting:  Quick Q and A

Q: What should I work on first - fixing my baby's nap problems or nighttime sleep
problems? It's become a major issue in our house.

A: In most cases . . . do BOTH! Many solutions improve naps and night sleep. Also
- be flexible! Don't focus solely on sleep issues - you'll miss too much!

Q: My three-year-old sometimes gets in a tizzy over ridiculous things - like her
 crayon breaking. I try to reason with her, but I can't because she's too upset.

A: You don't have to solve every single problem. Instead, distract her with a different
toy or an activity, and save the lesson for later.

Q:  My four-month-old rolls over in his sleep and wakes himself up. I have to turn
him over and pat him back to sleep. What can I do about this?

A: Lots of daytime tummy-time-play to help him master physical skills.

Q:  My toddler's noises wake the baby almost every day! How can I get my toddler
 to stay quiet during naptime?

A: You can't! Better to put your baby down for naps with white noise sounds or lullaby
music to mask the toddler noise.

Q: How do we know when it's time to move our child from the crib to a bed?

A:  Your toddler learns to climb, the height of the rail is up to his under-arms,
or he asks to have a big-kid bed.

Q: We have an issue with monsters under the bed. Our daughter is really afraid
something
is under there!

A:  Eliminate the "under"- put the mattress directly on the floor and pack away
the bed frame for a year or until the fears go away.

Q: When we take our kids to a restaurant they display terrible manners! What can
 we do about it?

A:  If you practice good manners at home, for every meal, your children will be
more prepared when you eat out at a restaurant.

Q: How can I tell if my daughter still needs a daily nap?

A: If she wakes up happy, but gets cranky as the day progresses, or has more tantrums
in the evening -- a nap would likely help.

Q: Our six-year-old climbs into our bed in the middle of the night. We let him stay
because we're so tired, but we don't sleep well with him there. How do we get him
to sleep in his own room?

A: Try the Rubber Band Bounce - every time he visits: gently, quietly, without emotion
- lead him back to his own room and lovingly tuck him in.

Q: Our eighteen-month-old has never been a good sleeper. We've been following our
sleep plan for three weeks and still haven't gotten a full night's sleep! Help!

A:  You are changing sleep habits that have existed for eighteen months! The process
of change will take time. Just be steady and follow your plan.

Q: My little picky eater won't try anything new, no matter how much we beg or bribe.
How do we get our son to try something new?

Pick two new foods. Put one on his plate at every meal. When he sees a food enough
it won't be new - so he'll taste it!

Q: When we drop our daughter at preschool she always cries. I try to tell her
everything
will be okay, the teachers will take care of her, and I'll be back soon, but it
doesn't help. What can I do to help her?

Too much concern implies she has something to worry about. Tell her it's is no big
deal, no cause for worry, and will even be fun.

The Ultimate Custom Baby Gift is a Personalized Baby Quilt

May 19th, 2013

A baby’s birth has always been a celebration . Friends and family welcome the newborn with gifts. If you are looking for the most fabulous luxury baby gift that will become a family keepsake, then the best personalized baby gift is a baby quilt.

Custom baby quilts have a long history.Years ago, friends and family would hand sew patches of fabric together at old fashioned quilting bees. When a newborn arrrived, the community would hand sew these squares together in a traditional pattern. Often the squares held clues about the family’s history, occupation or interests. Almost always, a patch was added at the back of the quilt with more information. If the baby quilt was the work of the community, it was noted ;or if a single quilter had completed the quilt, it was signed by the crafter and the date was included.

Most families, don’t have a grandmother or friend who can create a custom baby quilt. Most communities no longer hold quilting bees to create these magnificent works of art. The art of custom quilting is no longer readily available. Where to find these keepsake quilts, becomes more difficult each year.

In a few communities the tradition continued and these magnificent quilts of the past are still available. www.namelynewborns.com has searched throughout the country and uncovered several qualified quilters who will duplicate these incredible custom quilts.

You can choose from traditional patchwork quilts in your choice of colors. Here we have done in brown and pink. You can choose your own custom color scheme and add baby’s name and birthdate.  www.namelynewborns.com can offer you the ability to create your own contemporary design. Pictured is a contemporary hand crafted ballerina quilt. All quilts are made of 100% cotton fabric and our quilters use hypoallergenic batting to insure your baby’s comfort . Quilts are usually 40 inches by 54 inches. But they can be customed to fit your crib or stroller. These beautiful personalized baby quilts can be hung on the wall in the nursery or play room as works of art. Baby quilts can be used for tummy time or to put baby to sleep in a unfamiliar crib.

Personalized baby quilts are hard to find; we are proud to offer names and birthdates on our custom baby quilts so that your baby can enjoy a treasured keepsake made in America just for him. For the ultimate personalized baby gift, let us help you create a custom baby quilt.

Tips for the Perfect Layette by a Personal Baby Shopper

May 6th, 2013

All the essential baby clothes and blankets for the new baby

Many adults have a personal shopper; your baby is also entitled to  a personal shopper. Baby’s can’t tell you what he needs the first year, so you need to be his personal shopper. If this is your first baby, what a baby needs is somewhat of a mystery. Baby’s grow so fast, if you buy too many outfits in a small size, you have wasted a lot of money . If you don’t have enough towels, you may find yourself sitting in front of the dryer, waiting for a towel to dry before you can give your baby a bath. Since stuff happens unexpectedly when baby’s are concerned, not having enough supplies at the right time, could be pretty unpleasant.

After years of being a mother and grandmother here are my tips for the essential for a basic layette for the first year. Remember baby’s soon outgrow their tiny newborn outfits so there is more value in the larger outfits. You can always put a baby in a slightly oversized outfit, but you don’t want to stuff him in an outfit that is too tight.

An outfit without feet with last longer than one with feet; so much sure you have socks because tiny feet get cold quickly

At www.namelynewborns.com we recommends these layette items for newborns and babies, from 0 to 12 months:

2 footies or sleepers ( newborn to 3 months)

3 footies or sleepers ( 3-6 months)

3 footies or sleepers (6-12months)

2 newborn onesies

3 onesies( 3-6 months)

3 ones ( 6-12months)

2 pairs of socks newborn to 6 months

4 pairs of socks 3-6 months

2 gowns( these will last the baby from 0-6 months)

4 receiving blankets ( at least 30 by 40 inches.)

3 hooded towels ( minimum 30 ” square) with wash cloth

Going  home outfit( this baby outfit should include a hat,  receiving blanket and outfit that either covers his feet or if it doesn’t make sure you have socks)

2 crib or stroller blankets

4 bibs( small drooler bibs)

2 larger bibs for older babies

4 burp pads

2 security blankets

1 comfy cozy

1 stuffed toy

These essentials will see the baby through his first year as long as you are willing to wash daily. If a  washer dryer is not easily availble or you don’t have time to wash every day you will need more bibs, burps, receiving blankets , footies and onesies. At www.namelynewborns.com we have a personal shopper available to help you create the perfect layette and we can even add baby’s name or three letter monogram to make the items extra
