Baby Learning How to Crawl, Getting Raw Elbows?



Great baby stuff tip:

When your baby is just learning how to crawl, and doing the "army crawl" around the house, she or he can get raw elbows especially on rough carpeted areas. put a little lanolin ( I use Medela Tender Care Lanolin) on their elbows and knees.

It stops the sting and helps protect from more damage happening, along with wearing long pants and long sleeves on them. We all know that's not possible in summer weather sometimes though!

Hope this helps. Let me know what else you have used on baby's chafed skin.

Breastfeeding- the New Way to Feed Your Baby!

Nursing your baby has become largely unpopular since the manufacturing of baby formula came about. Huge companies with lots of money got doctors in on the deal and had them sing the merits of bottle feeding instead of breastfeeding. Now, to some people, the completely natural act of feeding your baby can be met with disgust, rudeness, and a terrible lack of understanding. Mothers will even discourage their daughters from trying it, saying "The bottle was good enough for you," as if nursing is something reserved for royalty and the common people must do it the fake way for appearances sake.
