However with a few tips, your canine and your baby will be fast friends in no time. Before the intro, allow your dog to sniff an article of the baby’s clothing or her blanket to get familiar with her scent. At the initial meeting, one parent should restrain the dog on a leash, while the other parent sits on a chair holding the baby. Don’t hold the baby over the dog’s head – this will encourage it to jump. Allow your dog to observe the baby from a distance, and stroke your pooch for reassurance. If he exhibits any aggressive behavior, stop the introduction and remove him from the room. You can resume again at another time. Signs of aggression include nipping, pawing, growling, and biting, as well...

If you have a new man in your life – congratulations. Now, here’s help about how and when to introduce him to your kids. Image: istockphoto Are You Serious? If it’s just a casual thing, that’s all right – enjoy yourself. But there’s no reason to introduce these partners to your children if you don’t envision a future together. You don’t want your kids to get attached to someone who might be out of the picture in a week or two. Security! Reassure your kids that they’re your number one priority. Many children feel like you’re going to abandon them for a new relationship. Have an honest talk as a family before introducing your new boyfriend, to affirm your love and...

I am all for full term breastfeeding (I am still feeding my 18 month old), but I think it is fair to point out th...

This month’s carnival entries (see links at the end of this post) focus on breastfeeding goals. My little Nicole just turned six months old on January 17, so my discussion is on the goal of exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months. When my first daughter was born in 2002, the recommendation from the medical community had changed from four months to six months of exclusive breastfeeding, but the word had not reached me, or, apparently, my daughter’s pediatrician. So around my daughter’s four-month birthday, I sat ready with the video camera as I offered her spoonfuls of rice cereal mixed with breast milk. Now I cringe when I watch that video. Sure, she was meeting the signs of readiness for solid foods — sitt...

So lets see...I have been writing for The Cardio Blog for a little over a month now and I love it. Living healthy and doing what I can to stay healthy as I grow older is becoming more important to me every day as it becomes all too obvious that the world around us isn't a very healthy place most of the time! And considering heart disease is the #1 killer of women in this country it seems worth learning about and working to prevent, you know?Other than that I'm not sure what else to say -- I live in the beautiful Midwest, I also write for That's Fit on health and fitness, and my absolutely favorite heart-healthy habit is walking with my dog. And my biggest non-heart-healthy sin? I love chees... The Cardio Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=675550 Thu, 14 Jun 2007 04:00:00 +0100 675550
