Baby rooms on a budget If you have ever wandered through the infant's section of a particular store, you know how much stuff is out there for decorating a baby's room. From wallpaper to furniture to bedding, you can find all kinds of products to decorate a baby's bedroom, and if you don't watch it, you can wind up spending a fortune. If you have just found out that you're pregnant and you're concerned about the cost of decorating your baby's room, don't despair. You can still create a wonderful room for your baby without breaking the bank. Paint is the one of the easiest and most inexpensive ways to transform a room. If you have the skills, you can draw a mural on one or all four walls. If that's not your style, you can use stencils, stamps and paint pens to create a happy room. You can paint the walls light yellow, for example, and add some happy faces with a black paint pen or stamp on handprints in various colors. Numerous faux painting techniques are available that will allow you to create any number of textures and designs from puffy clouds to paint splatters. While you're working on the walls, don't neglect the ceiling. Remember, this is area the baby will see the most in the beginning when they are lying on their backs. If you don't like paint, you can try wallpaper. Keep in mind, though, that wallpaper will probably cost more than paint, and if you don't apply it well, you may find your little one picking it off when they get older. If you go this route, select a
wallpaper pattern that will grow with your child and make sure the wallpaper can be scrubbed for those inevitable sticky handprints, stray crayon marks and more. For inexpensive wall hangings, you have numerous options. You can hang up special baby blankets or quilts that you receive, or shop around for inexpensive prints and frame them for instant art. If you have kids already, you can have them draw pictures for the baby that you can frame and hang up. If not, you can use kid's placemats, baby cards and even family photos for art. Inexpensive wooden shelves with old baby shoes and bottles are another idea. Whatever wall hangings you create, make sure you don't hang anything above the baby's crib. There's too much of a risk that something could fall on the baby or the baby could pull down something on themselves when they get older. With floors and windows, you have several options. If you can afford it, you may want to put down stain-resistant carpeting or laminate flooring. Babies tend to spit up, and the older they get, the messier they are likely to be. Instead of traditional carpeting, consider putting down carpet tiles, which
you can easily change out should they get terribly stained. If you already have carpet and can't afford to replace it, consider adding an inexpensive rug to protect the carpet from stains, or make a floor cloth out of canvas. With window coverings, you can keep it simple and top inexpensive miniblinds or shutters with a corniceboard or valance, or you can go all out and purchase or make drapes. Whatever you do, keep in mind that the more light the window coverings block out, the better your baby may sleep. When choosing furniture for your baby's room, think sturdy and try to buy pieces that will grow with your child. As your child learns to walk, they will start to climb and you do not want them climbing onto a rick-
ety chair or table that could break and injure them. You also do not want a room full of furniture that you will have to change out within a few years. While your child may adore their white
dresser with the heart-shaped mirror when they are little, they might not like it so well when they turn five or six and are into sports. Look for furniture pieces that will appeal to your child throughout their life. As for bedding, the choice is yours. You can buy or make a layette set, complete with bed ruffle and bumper pad, or you can pick up some inexpensive sheets and add a nice quilt. Whatever you select, keep in mind that it will be some time before your
baby is actually old enough to use all of the bedding and enjoy it. Experts recommend that newborns be placed into a crib with as little bedding as possible to protect them from accidental suffocation. Remember, your baby will not be able to tell the difference between a rug that cost $1 or one that cost $50, so don't sweat the price of the stuff you use to decorate their room. Stick to your budget and create a design that will appeal to your baby. A room filled with inexpensive tactile objects will appeal more to a baby than a room draped in silk and other expensive fabrics. Let your imagination run wild and have fun!

Twice the fun! Diapers...cloth or disposable? By Tresa Erickson You just found out that you're having twins. While the thought of two babies is fun, it's also frightening. You weren't sure how well you're were going to cope with one baby, and now, you're having two! Relax. It may be hairy at first, but you will learn to manage, just as moms all over the world with twins have done. Caring for one baby isn't easy, especially for first-time mothers. Taking care of two is even more difficult. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to make caring for twins easier. Here are some tips. • Get organized. Arrange the nursery so that you can get to the things you need fast. Once the babies arrive, make a schedule and stick to it. Do your best to get them to eat, and more importantly, sleep at the same time. • Ask for help. Enlist the aid of your husband, parents, siblings, friends, neighbors, colleagues and anyone else who might be around. It's a lot of work looking after two babies, so whenever someone offers to help, take them up on it. • Eat right and exercise. Taking care of two babies requires a lot of energy and stamina. Maintain yours by eating right and exercising regularly. • Rest when the babies are napping. You may have a ton of things to do, but the more tired you are, the crankier you will be and the harder it will be for you to cope with the babies. Rest whenever you can, even if it means putting off washing the dishes, sweeping the floor or doing some other task until your husband gets home. • Limit visitors. With two
babies, you don't have a lot of time on your hands. Make sure everyone knows that and don't be afraid to turn someone away if you're not feeling up to their visit. • Take time to yourself. Occasionally you need a break from the babies and they from you. Don't hesitate to take them to your mother's or a sitter's and spend some time alone. You'll return refreshed and ready to deal with them again. • Join a twins support group. Not only will you get out of the house, but you'll learn how the parents of other twins manage. More importantly, you'll get the opportunity to discuss what you're going through with people who understand. • Be realistic. Don't try to be a supermom. There's only one of you and you're only human, so you're going to make some mistakes. Accept them and move on. • Learn to say no. You've got a lot on your plate as it is with two babies. Don't take on more than you can handle. Turn down requests you don't have time for. Caring for twins can be overwhelming, but it's definitely worth it. Although they can sometimes be twice the trouble, twins are almost always twice the fun. Enjoy your babies and have fun!
By Ronda Addy As a new parent, you are going to have all kinds of choices to make. One of the most important ones is what kind of diaper to use, cloth or disposable. There is no right or wrong answer to this age-old question, but there are pros and cons to using each. Let's take a look at some of those. The number one pro of cloth diapers is the price. They are cheaper than disposables, even when the cost of a laundry service is figured in. They are also easier on a baby's skin, less likely to cause an allergic reaction and trap less moisture, reducing the risk of diaper rash. There are cloth diapers available on the market with Velcro straps, so you no longer need diaper pins. Cloth diapers also make pretty good rags after their initial use. The number one con of cloth diapers is the extra work they require to clean them. You can either clean them yourself, which means you need a washer and a dryer, or you can send them out to a diaper service. Regardless of
which you use, you will need a diaper pail for storage of used diapers and you will need to rinse out the soiled ones in the toilet. Prepare yourself for a constant smell a n d mess. When washi n g cloth diap e r s , don't use detergents or fabric softeners. Just use soap and hot water, being sure to double rinse each wash. Cloth diapers are more likely to leak even
with plastic pants. They don't travel well either since you have to take the used diapers along with you. The number one advantage of disposable diapers is the convenience. You can throw them away when the time comes, and if you run out, you can go to just about any store and find some. They are less likely to leak, which makes them an excellent choice for babies with frequent diarrhea. They are also easier to travel with. Disposable diapers are not without their cons, however. They are more expensive than cloth and they trap more moisture, which can increase the chance for diaper rash. Because a child can't tell when they are wet, using disposable diapers
can increase the length of time it takes to potty-train them. Disposable diapers are not biodegradable and fill up landfills. Because they can't be rinsed out, the waste is left in the diaper, which could cause health risks. If you are having trouble deciding which kind of diaper to use, why not use both? During the day and when at home, use cloth diapers. During the evening and when traveling, use disposable diapers. When choosing what kind of diaper is best, you should consider your budget and lifestyle. Who would have dreamed that something so simple as the type of diaper to use could be such a big decision?

Bath time! By Tresa Erickson You've just become a parent for the first time and unfortunately your family lives too far away to be of much help. You're on your own and your little one needs their first bath. You practiced giving dolls a bath in your parenting class, but now with your newborn in front of you, the task seems daunting. Relax. You can do it. Here's how. To give your newborn a bath, follow these steps. 1. Grab a couple of thick towels and lay them on a flat surface. This is where you will bathe your newborn. 2. Run a pail of warm water and collect everything you will need for the bath-a soft washcloth and towel, unscented baby soap and lotion, an alcohol pad, a diaper and a change of clothes. 3. Remove your newborn's clothes and diaper, lay them on the towels and cradle their head in one hand. With the other hand, wash their body with a soapy washcloth, starting with less dirty areas like the fingers and toes and finishing with their bottom. As you wash their hair, tip your newborn's head back to keep the water out of their eyes. 4. Once you have finished washing your newborn, wrap them in a towel and dry them off. If their skin seems dry, apply some unscented baby lotion to their body.
5. Clean around your newborn's umbilical cord with an alcohol pad. Then diaper and dress them. Newborns in general dislike water. It's a shock to their little bodies when water hits them, so don't be afraid if your newborn begins to cry during bath time. Remain calm and work quickly. You should bathe your newborn every three or four days or more often if needed. After your newborn's umbilical cord has fallen off, you can move them to a plastic tub and wash them just as you did on the towels. Once they learn to sit up, you can move them to the tub in the bathroom and make bath time fun with toys. No matter what the age of your child, always remember the cardinal rule: Never ever leave them alone in the bath. They can roll over or slip and fall and hurt themselves or drown in a matter of seconds. If you need to go to another room to answer the phone or see who's at the door, wrap your child in a towel and take them with you. The first time you bathe your newborn, you'll probably feel awkward. Don't worry about it-it's normal to feel that way. Like any task, the more you do it, the better you'll become. Before long, you'll be a pro and bath time will be a snap!
Baby, we frame to please!

Allow me to introduce you to... By Ronda Addy
Prior to bringing the baby home, have someone bring home something that has the baby's smell on it, like a blanket or clothing, so the dog can become familiar with the baby's odor. Let the dog smell the item as much as it wants. Upon returning home, greet the dog without the baby. Let the dog get used to the sounds and smells associated with the baby, and after the dog has calmed down and the baby is quiet, make the introduc-

For years, your baby has been the one and only in the family. But now, there is a new baby coming. You are worried about how the two are going to get along. Will there be jealousy? Will there be aggressive behavior? These are legitimate concerns. What you need to know is the best way to introduce the new baby to the old baby, the family dog. Here are some tips. Preparing the dog for the arrival of the baby should be done months in advance. You should make sure the dog knows basic obedience commands, like sit, stay and down, and to come when called. If the dog does not know these commands, obedience school is in order. Make sure all the commands are associated with good thingstreats work well. Once the dog has mastered these commands, use them while doing things you will be doing when the baby comes. Wrap up a doll like a baby and rock it, feed it and walk around with it. During these practices, periodically reward the dog. Babies make strange sounds, so help the dog get accustomed to the noises by playing recordings. Ideally, if you know of someone with a baby, have them bring the baby over so the dog can get used to having one around. This will naturally take more than one time. While you are in the hospital, make sure the dog's routine is kept as normal as possible. To avoid stress, keep the dog's same feeding and walking schedule.
close enough to sniff the baby. Allow the dog the freedom of the house as before while you are with the baby. Use a screen door or gate to prevent the dog from entering the baby's room without you. Be sure to devote the same amount of attention to the dog as before. If you go for a walk with the baby, take the dog. If you can't handle them both, have someone go with you. There are no set guidelines as to when a dog will get used to a baby. Everything depends on the dog's history of aggressive behavior. It could take a couple of days or it could take weeks. If, after several weeks, there has been no sign of aggressive behavior, it is unlikely that anything will happen. All experts agree that you should never leave a dog unattended with a baby under any circumstances. The sudden movement of a baby could startle the dog, causing it to bite the baby, or the dog could sit on the baby and suffocate it. Most dogs will adjust to a new baby without incident. Observe the dog's behavtions. Have someone be there to control ior for any signs of aggression and take prethe dog and someone else to hold the baby. cautions. That way, you can avoid problems Put the dog on a leash in the sit/stay posi- and accidents. tion, if necessary. Gradually bring the dog and baby closer together. Repeat this introduction several times, each time bringing the dog and baby closer together until you feel comfortable enough to let the dog get

From the change table to the little doll, think safety! Here you are, window-shopping to find all the necessities for your precious baby. Although the list of purchases is long, other people are providing you with plenty of useful items: your neighbour gave you clothing her family has outgrown; a friend lent you a baby carrier, you found a highchair at a garage sale, and the cradle has been passed down in your family from one generation to the next… Great! Yet, how can you be sure that all of these items, as well as those you will purchase from a store, are absolutely safe for your child? Many children’s products are regulated by the Hazardous Products Act, while others abide by the strict manufacturing stan-
dards established by the manufacturers. Some regulations have changed over the years, causing certain products to fail to meet current standards. Various factors must be considered when you purchase or borrow children’s products. • Check for the label that guarantees the product’s compliance to current standards. • Learn about the current standards byvisiting www.sickkids.ca or by contacting Health Canada. • Contact the manufacturer to make sure that the product has not been pulled from the market and fill out the product registration card so that you can be alerted in case
of a recall. • Read the instructions carefully and do not remove labels that contain information on the product. • Respect the age and weight limits indicated. • Carefully examine all used items for any damage. Do not use anything that is broken. • Check for the date of manufacture to be sure that the item is not too old to be used. Once you have followed all of these steps, you can sleep peacefully. Your baby is safe!

Myth #1: Newborns don't need a sleep schedule. “Even very young babies benefit from scheduling and consistency at nighttime and nap time,” says Kim West, a sleep consultant and author of Good Night, Sleep Tight. “It lays the groundwork for learning how to sleep through the night once they're older.” Myth #2: Infants can sleep through the night. Just like adults, children wake up four to five times a night. The catch is that adults know how to get themselves back to sleep and infants don't. While many babies are capable of consistently soothing themselves to sleep after two or three months, others don't do that until age 6 months or beyond. Myth #3: You can get a child to sleep through the night by starting solids early (before 4 to 6 months). Many parents mistakenly think this technique will work by keeping their baby full longer, but it's a bad idea. Young infants lack the mature digestion and oral-motor skills to handle solid foods, and introducing solids too early may trigger some food allergies. Myth #4: It's okay to let your baby sleep in a moving seat or swing. A few minutes in a moving swing or bouncy seat can soothe a fussy baby, but don't let it become a crutch. Sleeping in a moving swing or seat for a prolonged period of time keeps your baby in a light sleep, meaning he won't get the deep, restful sleep he needs. Sleeping babies should spend 50 percent of their time in non-REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, the deepest sleep stage, during which the brain sends out growth and developmental hormones. Myth #5: Children who don't nap during the day sleep longer at night. Not so, says West. Skipping daytime naps only leads to sleep sabotage. Kids who are overtired will often miss their sleep window at night, she explains. Miss the window and the body secretes cortisol, a form of adrenaline. As a result, kids will sleep more fitfully and wake up earlier (not later) the next morning. Myth #6: A child who can climb out of a crib is ready for a big-kid bed. Not necessarily. “Moving to a bed before age 2 doesn't solve sleep problems, it only makes them worse,” says West. “At this age, children are too young to understand why they need to stay in bed.” She recommends keeping toddlers in the crib and using a crib tent, if necessary, to prevent them from pulling a Houdini. Myth #7: Some children are bad sleepers. All children can be taught to be good sleepers. If a child is older, it may take longer, it might take more effort, but every child is able to learn how to fall asleep well on his own.

Simple ways to make your child's day It doesn't take much to thrill a kid. In fact, it's often the "small stuff" that makes for the most meaningful childhood memories: your mom pulling off the road to let you climb a tree, being allowed to jump on a hotel bed, splashing wildly in mud puddles in the rain… The best part? Many of these kidcharmers are low-cost or even free. In that spirit, here's a collection of simple, cheap, memory-making activities that are sure to be a bright spot in your child's day – and yours! Let 'er rip Maybe it's that pleasing shredding sound or maybe it's the satisfaction of making a permanent change in something, but babies love to tear up paper. So plunder your recycling box for magazines or junk mail – when you see that gappy smile on your baby's face as she gets to work, you won't even mind the mess.
Dog days You could take your baby to the zoo, but don't be surprised if he falls fast asleep – or favors the water fountain over the orangutans. Instead, try a park where he can see dogs playing. It's a lot less overwhelming
and every bit as exciting, plus it doesn't cost a penny. Just be sure to practice good doggyand-child safety habits. You might want to carry your baby in your arms or a baby carrier to make sure he's safe when watching and petting the pups (with permission, of course). Flashlight games Turn off the lights, close the blinds, grab a flashlight, and lie back on the floor for a rockin' light show with your little one. Dance the light beam along the ceiling and walls as your baby stares in delight. An older baby might like to try holding the flashlight herself (though you shouldn't be
surprised if all she does is gum it). Just don't let her shine it directly in her eyes – or, for that matter, in yours. Dining out For a change of pace, set up your baby's highchair in the backyard or out on the front stoop and, between bites, let him fling the food wherever he likes. He'll feel like he's won the lottery! A bit short in the yard department? No worries – bring a booster chair to the park and set it right on the grass. Throw in some bubbles and you've got a perfect recipe for a fun-filled morning. Go clubbing In your living room, that is. Turn on your favorite music and dance with your baby in your arms. She'll be in seventh heaven – after all, she'll be enjoying three of her favorite things in the world simultaneously: music, bouncing, and closeness to you.
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE HEALTHY BABY. If you’re expecting, you want a birthing center you have confidence in. A staff that’s experienced, and cool under pressure. And close by would be cool, too. For more information about services at our Copeland-Emerson Family Birth Center, please call (937) 498-5391.
