Ideally, baby’s clothes should be washed with a soap or mild detergent. Don’t use any detergent that has high levels of chemicals in it. Strong detergents make clothes very harsh and rough and that will make baby uncomfortable. It is also important to get every ounce of detergent out of clothes so health perspective.

You can also use fabric softeners while washing baby’s clothes. That will help in keeping baby’s clothes soft. One mistake often committed by people is washing baby’s clothes with adult’s clothes or others clothes. Avoid that habit as germs from other clothes can harm your baby. Soap should always be washed completely off from baby’s clothes. You should also dry baby’s clothes in sun because that will ensure all the germs present in clothes will be killed completely. Finally, avoid using detergents with strong scents and soak your baby’s clothes in warm water before washing. Following all these suggestions will keep your baby healthy and hearty.

Parents must know that usually babies cry when they feel sleepy. What normally happens that parents let babies cry so they get tired and sleep on their own. This is more like a time tested method. This way, parents can also have a peaceful sleep. One thing parents need to remember is that a baby is not smart enough to fake her cry. She has some genuine reasons and that could be something like discomfort she is facing. She is sleep as well and has no clue how to react and what to do so she is crying.

But don’t assume that letting her cry is the only option you have. Try to comfort her and fed her because that normally makes babies sleep. Balance out the things. She may also have a need that you need to identify. May be her nappy is wet and something on the bed is making her uncomfortable. Try to recognise those signs. Don’t get panicked and understand that it is a normal thing.

The first rule is to get hold of simple and solid toys. The reason is children love to break toys by throwing away or banging them or using them against the walls. In such light, what’s the point of purchasing a delicate or sophisticated toy? Parents must be quite alert while purchasing toys. There are factors like loose parts, sharp edged toys or toxic paints harmful for babies etc that should be considered while parents decide to buy toys. The logic is quite understandable because of child’s habit of putting everything in his mouth.

A baby develops his first taste of social skills while he plays with ball. Point to be noted here is, while a baby throws ball to someone the latter throws it back and in the process there is development of social skills. Toys with buttons, levers, push buttons must be givn preference because toddler will learn to do something on his own. Take for example, toy telephone which is quite useful in sowing the seed of conversational skills. Similarly, parents should opt for storybooks, building blocks and push-pull toys.
