In this day and age you can never be too careful when it comes to your baby. Companies are throwing harsh chemicals in all kinds of items, including those meant to be used by an infant. It pays to do a little research and discover the products that are all-natural. The result equals reduced chances that your baby will suffer an allergic reaction or be harmed in any way from the product as opposed to the riskiness of using products that are possibly filled with harmful chemicals.

How to Properly Clean a Baby Bottle
December 24, 2012 By
Your baby’s health is at the top of your priority list. You may not realize just how many germs lurk around every corner. One way to protect your baby from these nasty creatures is to wash all of the bottles you use properly. This means more than just rinsing the bottles out with water after each use.
First, if you don’t have time to clean your newborn’s bottle directly after use, just rinse it with hot water and set it aside. Don’t use it. You’ll still need to clean the bottle later on. Rinsing it with hot water first just makes sure that the milk doesn’t dry and stick to the side of the bottle, making it harder to clean later on.

Best Way to Sterilize and Clean Baby Bottles
May 26, 2012 By
Infants need time to build up their immune systems. Because of this, it is essential that parents sterilize baby bottles and their associated parts. Also, correct cleaning after the sterilization is complete will keep germs at bay. This is an important aspect of keeping your baby as healthy as possible.
Sterilization
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once the water starts boiling, you can turn the heat off. Immediately submerge your baby bottle, bottle nipple, nipple ring, and bottle cap in the hot water. You may want to do this with a pair of tongs so that you don’t accidentally get burned. Let the bottle sit in the water for at least 5 minutes.
Transitioning From Bottle to Sippy Cup
May 23, 2012 By
Once my firstborn child hit 12 months of age, I began to wean her from the bottle and get her started with sippy cups. Surprisingly, she handled the transition as if it was no big deal. I wish my second child had followed in her footsteps, but alas, that was not to be. Each child is different, so got get upset if it takes your child a bit longer to learn how to use a sippy cup.
Baby Bottle Options
May 21, 2012 By
I stopped breastfeeding my firstborn child at 5 months of age. I went to the store to purchase a set of bottles, thinking that this was going to be a simple task. I was quickly overwhelmed by all of the bottle options. I had no idea there were so many choices. I wish I had researched this topic ahead of time.
First, when purchasing a baby bottle, you will need to consider the ingredients used to make the bottle. Stay away from any bottles that contains bisphenol-A (BPA) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC). BPA is blamed for developmental delay, autism, and ADHD in children. PVC can lead to behavior problems and learning disabilities, not to mention that it is terrible for the environment.
What Did They Do Before Baby Formula?
November 27, 2011 By
What did they do in the old day before baby formula was created? I am sure someone knows the answer, but I am completely befuddled. If you have a newborn who is fussier than you think they should be and breastfeeding either did not work for you or is just not an option, you are no doubt drowning in the sea of infant formula despair.
Not only are there a vast number of companies that sell infant formula, but the options are endless. Anyone who is not able to, or chooses not to breast feed, goes home from the hospital using whatever it was that the hospital introduced you to.
