The Holy Grail And A Silver Christening Cup
Since the Victorian era, one of the most popular Christening gifts for a baby boy has been a silver cup or silver tankard - a beautiful present that is often passed down from generation to generation. But why should such a seemingly utilitarian object become associated with such an important rite of passage? Although the Christening cup became increasingly popular in Victorian times, the myths and tradition surrounding cups themselves have roots going back many thousands of years. Drinking vessels have had a deep and enduring significance in people's lives since early prehistory. From the cups and jars used in Sumerian and Egyptian funeral rites to the Beaker and Celtic cultures of Western Europe...
Adult Thoughts on Childhood Thinking
For many decades child development experts have held the belief that children are far less intelligent than adults; that they don't understand many facets of life and are largely unaware of them too. Professor of Psychology at the University of California, Alison Gopnik, has set out to change that dated view of childhood cognition in her books 'How Babies Think' and 'The Philosophical Baby' amongst others, and it's all to do with imagination. Alison maintains the view that babies are 'useless'. There's no doubting that the human race has the longest time from conception to a child being able to look after themselves and in an evolutionary sense that doesn't make much sense. To be able to survive...
Infant Potty Training and Conventional Toilet Training - What's the Basic Difference? 3 Tips About E
Let's Compare Infant Pottying to How Your Baby Learns to Crawl then Walk: Babies gradually discover the skills to creep, crawl and then walk. We don't wait until they have the strength, muscle mass and a certain age to allow them the opportunity to roll, crawl and walk. That would be silly! Yet our society is afraid of gradually allowing our babies to develop their continence skills, thinking they are somehow incapable until two years old. Of course, they are born with rudimentary skills just as they can move a little. With this article, I'll help you to realize that approaching this part of the natural development of your baby with a relaxed and gentle approach makes a lot of sense to you. 1...

Is you baby being exposed to Asthma and Allergy toxins such as 1,4-dioxane and formaldehyde? The answer is yes from a study conducted by "Campaign For Safe Cosmetics" in March of 2009.

A Loving Gaze Builds Trust
I love watching parents and babies interact, especially the gazing that goes on between mother infant pairs. It is like a secret, intimate language between lovers as each looks at the other as though they are the most wonderful person in the whole world. And this is exactly how it feels when mother and baby are perfectly attuned to each other. Sadly though, many parents and particularly mothers, are being given advice that interrupts this exquisite bond. I have had mothers call me knowing intuitively that something is amiss as they say, my baby won't make eye contact. At first I was baffled the baby concerned looked directly at me and smiled (so, thankfully, nothing was intrinsically wrong). I then...

3 Popular Baby Muslim Girl Names and Their Meanings
When a Muslim baby child is born, it is usually given an Arabic name. It is quite common for a baby Muslim girl name to be that of a prophet, or that of a combination of names of God (Asmaul Husna). Another practice is to give a name from history or older traditional names. Muslim culture takes the naming of their girls seriously. They believe that the name will have a significant impact on the girl's life. Religiously, the name given to a baby girl should be good, beautiful and righteous. This is strongly echoed in the Prophet's words who said "On the Day of Resurrection, you will be called by your names and by your fathers' names, so give yourselves good names." It is without a doubt that Maya is...

Silver Cross Prams - A History of the Company
Silver Cross is Britain's oldest pram company, making prams and pushchairs for children since 1877. The company is based in Leeds, Yorkshire where the very first Silver Cross pram was produced by William Wilson - a postman who started his own business making post carts and perambulators. The Victorian era is when the pram first came into popular use. Original prams were based on the same designs as full-sized carriages and were originally pulled by dogs or ponies. Wealthy families commissioned their carriage makers to make smaller vehicles for their babies and owning a pram was soon seen as a status symbol. Queen Victoria herself was famous for using prams and there was even a pram named after her...
Stop Cradle Crap (Oops, I Meant Cradle Cap)
If you are reading this article, it's probably because your infant or your grand baby has Cradle Cap. The malady is certainly not dangerous but it is very aggravating to most parents - myself included. All four of our children suffered with it (or should I say my wife and I suffered because of it) and it became known in our house as "Cradle Crap". Cradle cap is the common name for a condition newborns or young babies develop which causes redness and scaly patches on the scalp. The baby gets a sort of infant dandruff caused by overactive oil glands on the scalp and face, and the condition sometimes also affects the neck, ears and even armpits. In our youngest son's case it became a thick waxy scale...

Talk it Out - Support Groups For Parents of Colicky Infants

Babies are given nicknames to call them in an affectionate or more personal manner. Babies tend to have cute and fun nicknames.

Teaching a Child to Walk
Exercise is essentially important to the health of the infant. Its first exercise, of course, will be in the nurse's arms. After a month or two, when it begins to sleep less during the day, it will delight to roll and kick about on the sofa: it will thus use its limbs freely; and this, with carrying out into the open air, is all the exercise it requires at this period. By and by, however, the child will make its first attempts to walk. Now it is important that none of the many plans which have been devised to teach a child to walk, should be adopted the go-cart, leading-strings, etc.; their tendency is mischievous; and flatness of the chest, confined lungs, distorted spine, and deformed legs, are so...
Vaccination Decisions - Who Should You Trust?
Most parents want to trust their pediatrician. We no longer live in extended families. Moms and grandmas frequently live far away so when Johnny gets sick, instead of consulting with those close to us who have taken care of sick kids, we confer with our doctor.

However, when it comes to vaccination, pediatricians often go beyond helpful suggestions; they resort to fear tactics. Parents are told frightening, "worse case scenario" stories of a child who had serious complications from a childhood illness such as measles, mumps or chickenpox.
