Surfingmama carnival #5: Huge breasts, autistics, umbilical cord and more
YOU GET BIG, HUGE BREASTS… now that I’ve your attention, welcome to Surfingmama’s Carnival #5. What happens to a mum after she delivers? Babylune presents a list of the most common postpartum issues and how to deal with them.
Being a parent is a fulltime job, and you just can’t outsource this job to a nanny. Sadly, in today’s world where both mum and dad have to work to bring home the dough, many kids are left to the care of nannies. It is indeed distressing to see another woman raise your child while you sit on the sidelines and watch. Read all about it in Kimberly Webb’s What a sad existence…
Jon Schnaars writes about More Autistic Students Sharing in the College Experience: In this blog post, my co-blogger Patrick Coffee examines the trend of autistic young adults increasingly moving on to higher education. This is important especially for mothers with children on the spectrum, but also for anyone with a child who has any learning disability or scholastic problems. There is hope and there are programs that can help children succeed at every level.
Sherry has a well-written post on Hanging out and bonding, where she had fun spending some quality time with her second child, while the first child was away: … it’s sort of obvious that people are different, that siblings are their own people but it’s still so strange sometimes to know that the same two people could produce two different children. They have many things in common but they are definitely each their own person and I love seeing their personalities grow… I’m glad I got to see Breanna’s personality up close this weekend.
Banking your child’s umbilical cord blood is perhaps one of the best gifts you can give your child. I see parents putting away money in various investment schemes for their child’s education or marriage, or college admissions abroad. And yet no one thinks this is worth their time and money. Do read about The Mad Momma’s decision to bank her child’s cord blood in Call to action - The gift of life.
Mommy Babble puts forward Help for Busy Mommies - 5 Ways to Help Balance Your Day. In summary, what works for Mommy Babble is 1) spend a little time praying in the morning, 2) use a personal online coach to gain control of the home, 3) start a “kid swap”, 4) have a support system of friends and community, and 5) make your own personal time each day. Great tips!
It’s that time of the year again, where you need to figure out what items to fill your family’s Christmas stockings with. Lil Duck Duck has come up with some Toddler stocking stuffer ideas.
It’s Dr. Kovokin again, and this time he’s back with a topic (and a quiz, as usual) on low birth weight: Why the weight was always considered an important indicator of the infant health? The reason is that low birth weight is associated with numerous problems of the baby’s development.
And I personally love this last article by BackpackerMom, How I Can Take My Son to a Toystore and Not Worry About Him Wanting to Buy Something! Talk about being a smart mum: One of the biggest problems my girlfriends face is going to a toy store with their kids and ending up with some silly toy that nobody will ever look at again simply because they couldn’t say no! So, not having the luxury of affording to leave a toy store with a new item each time, I’ve taught my son that we can play while we’re inside, but when we leave the toy stays.
