BABY PACIFIER-SAFE OR NOT SAFE

As a first time mom,all we want was to give the best and safest things for our baby.We want to make sure that all the things that we give and used for our babies are totally safe,emotionally and physically.The very first questions that comes to our minds are " Is this good? or Is this safe?".. One thing that confuses me is about using the pacifiers.Some said its not good and some says its good.As a mom,we have to make extra careful on what we are doing and giving to our babies since they are helpless little ones and that its only us parents that they depended on.I read and research about pacifiers and this is how i gathered.There are dvantages and disadvantages of using pacifiers.Let me discuss first the advantages:

ADVANTAGES:

1. It will help the baby go to sleep
2. It may soothe your baby if their fussy
3. It will help reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome
4. It can be thrown anytime or disposables

DISADVANTAGES:

1. It might cause ear infection
2. Babies might depend n pacifier
3. Long usage of pacifier may cause dental problems
4. It can decrease mothers milk supply and can interfere breastfeeding success.

These are just few things that parents should think before giving pacifiers.Like me,i let my baby used pacifier when he was still a month old.I bought the one thats BPA-FREE,size suitable for his age,and a trusted brand.I make sure that its sterilized before giving it to him and i make sure that its clean and the cover should be closed if he's not using it.

VACATION

This picture was taken last summer when we had our family vacation on my dad's side.This was in Dukka Bay,Mis.Or. Philippines.Every summer,we make it a point that the whole family would go out of town and spend time together. For them,vacation is very important to let go and refresh yourself from stress.I remember when were still small,were looking forward for summer and December because for sure we would go somewhere.Its so nice to bond with the family,mind the unending "chikas" plus the overflowing food..mmm!! yum yumyummy!!

For this picture,we went snorkeling,diving,kayaking,boarding,jet skiing and a lot more.It was so much fun.The whole family really loved the beach.Its our number 1 option ever time we would choose where to go.Its simply have to be in the beach..For this December,were planning to go somwhere south..Tsk.Tsk.Tsk.. where could that be?..soooo exited...

FIRST BLOG

I am so excited for this new blog that i just created.Ive been trying to look for a template thats clean and simple.It took me weeks before i happened to bump this template and design.I even ended sleeping at the wee wee hour just to find a design that suits myself.I could barely say i'm hooked up with this blogging thing.For me its a way of expressing myself through blogging and to top it all,you will learned a lot through this.One thing i like this also is that you will encounter and make friends from different races and from different countries.I am not good in English nor good in editing and web designing but i learned a lot through this and for me,we should not stop learning.According to Mother Teresa " The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it." Indeed very well said..

GOODLUCK TO ME... :-)
