Tips for Recognizing and Encouraging Consistent Baby Sleep Patterns

Babies develop consistent sleeping habits gradually. Sleeping patterns develop by about 3 months of age. Here are some tips for recognizing and encouraging consistent baby sleep patterns. When a baby is sleeping regularly, the parents can get better sleep, too.Newborn babies sleep often, but not for long stretches at a time. Very young infants need to eat and sleep on demand. Therefore, it is best to respond as quickly as possible to your baby's sleep and eating needs. Keeping the baby near you is the easiest way to do this. Usually, a baby will follow a pattern similar to eat, poop, sleep, quiet alert time, repeat. Observe your baby for when he or she is at one of these stages, and what step usually follows. If it helps, chart the steps and look for patterns.Encourage the baby to sleep alone, but always remain nearby. The newborn baby will sleep better if swaddled in a baby blanket or held close to a parent's body. The warmth and feeling of being held is familiar and comforting to the baby. You will find your baby sleeps easier in one of these situations.Don't worry if the baby won't sleep alone at first. Sleeping alone is a habit that the baby will develop with practice. Baby sleep habits are not consistant for every baby. Try swaddling the newborn and laying him down on his back or side for sleep at least a couple of times a day. You can increase the number of times the baby sleeps alone gradually as the days go on.Newborn babies wake often during the night to eat. In order to encourage the baby to sleep more and be quietly alert less during the night, there are things parents can do. Have the baby in a darkened room in the evening, and avoid stimulation as much as possible. Be quiet and low key when the baby is awake, and simply tend to his needs for sleep, change or feeding. Then, lay the baby back down for sleeping. Don't play with the baby during the night if possible. This will encourage the Canada Goosebaby to be awake more often during the day.It may be easiest for the baby to sleep in the same room or even bed as the parents at first, especially if the baby is nursing. The warm comfort of being near the mother may help the baby to sleep better. Be sure to "sleep safely" with the baby if he is in bed with you. Limit the blankets and pillows near the baby. There are mixed reports about the safety of co-sleeping, so check with your pediatrician first. A bassinet near the parent's bed can be handy for reaching and feeding the baby multiple times during the night. There are many conflicting opinions about what constitutes safe baby sleep habits. I think parents should rely on their instincts when making a decision for their own child.By about three months of age, it is fine to put the baby to sleep in a crib, even in another room. It is important for the baby to learn to sleep alone, and this is the best age to begin that. The longer you wait, the harder it will be for the baby to develop this habit. It may be necessary to comfort the baby with singing, patting, or a little cuddle and then return to the crib many times for the first 1-2 weeks. Gradually, the baby will learn how to sleep alone during the night, and baby's sleep and parent's sleep will be easier.Written By Muna wa Wanjiru

So is this a painting or work of art that I talk about?

There is a gorgeous bird winging its way across a beautiful clear sky, eluding the reach of a grasping human hand, and in the background is an ineffectual bird cage lying askew, its door broken and swinging open. Emerging from the bottom of the cage is part of a man’s face signifying perhaps that this is a breaking free of the human mind, perhaps an unfettering from the shackles that humanity itself places upon us. Well not really, but you could term it as pop art or contemporary graphic design. This is a tee shirt design, which won a ‘design a t shirt contest’, the theme being ‘Let your mind be Free!’ The designer won a handsome prize of $750 for this winning entry. After all the design of a t shirt is a reflection of culture as it evolves as it changes and transforms itself. It can be a representation of urban angst, political leanings, religious or charitable affiliation, fan club of a celebrity, student of a particular school, one of any number of different things. So many sites that sell t shirts online often give the option of a design contest for tees. This way all manner of different entries are submitted, getting an interesting cross section of ideas and thoughts, represented in all kinds of varied ways. Further the sites that hold these contests sell these t shirts online as well, so that people can buy and wear several unusual and remarkable styles, as a result of the Women's Kensington Parka tshirt contest. Some sites also offer the option of designing your own custom Shirts, Sweatshirts and merchandise. You can create and upload your own artwork and see the finished product online. So if you have the urge to express your creativity or your own unique ideas you can enter one from among any design t shirt contest. Even if you feel you may not want to design a t shirt you can still customize one and personalize it with your own name or picture or that of a friend or loved one. So you can give the Obama for President a miss and substitute your own candidature for it with a Tom / Dick / Harry for President.Now picture this again: Gaping wide jaw, with demonic looking teeth and a lolling red tongue with a simple tag line, Born Wild. Or this: picture of a video camera in mono chrome, with only the record button in red color, with the words I have right to shoot at sight / I am Media. Again the lettering is in black except for the word media. These are just a couple of examples of the t-shirts available at this tee shirt design site that always has an ongoing graphic t-shirt design competition. Based on the votes cast by members, winners from among all the contestants who submitted their designs will be chosen. The winner gets a cash prize and anyone has the option of buying any of the t shirts. So no one needs to ever run out of ideas for what to put on a t-shirt; you never have to say the words I don’t have a thing to wear again!
