If there is one task that most parents would find to be really difficult, it would be handling the little one’s poop, or the lack of it. Here are some ways by which you can help your little one poop:

Giving your baby warm milk can help induce your little one’s stomach to work faster much more than when you give him or her cold milk.
If your baby has not had any bowel movement for days and he or she has started showing signs of irritability, you might have a case of constipation. Lie him on his back and pull up his knees to his chest and do cycling motions. This usually allows your baby to pass gas and then to poop.
Rub your little one’s tummy towards the pelvis. This has the same effect as the one mentioned above.
With the help of some Vaseline, insert a rectal thermometer to your baby. The sensation usually stimulates bowel movement. Make sure, however, that you don’t push the thermometer too far.
Keeping your baby in an upright position prevents the build up of gas and encourages burping. This also helps keep the little one from constipation.

Simply Unique Baby Gifts is the place to go to if you need to stock up on your baby diapers.

New Parent Tips: 5 Ways to Prevent Diaper Rash

November 13, 2009 in Baby Diaper Cakes, Baby Gift Baskets, Baby Shower Diaper Cakes, New Parent Tips | No comments

As a mom, one of the things that you would need to contend with is diaper rash. Diaper rash is a type of skin irritation caused by constant wetting and drying of the skin combined with exposure to various other irritants, in this case, the diaper. Here are 5 tips to keep in mind to prevent diaper rash:

Allowing your baby to go diaper-free every now and then is one of the surest ways to prevent diaper rash. Make sure, however, that you can immediately clean up after your baby should he or she pee or poop.
Go for cloth diapers over disposable ones. Studies have proven that there is an increased incidence of diaper rash when it comes to disposable diapers.
Make sure that you change your baby’s diapers as soon as it becomes wet or after he or she has had bowel movement.
Limit your use of soap on baby’s bottoms. Keep in mind that some soaps tend to be quite harsh on baby’s skin. same goes for the detergent that you use when washing your baby’s diaper cloths.
Lastly, make sure that you put a protective barrier between the diaper and your baby’s bottom. This can easily be achieved with a thin layer of any diaper ointment.

Simply Unique Bay Gifts carry a whole line of diaper cakes that come complete with diaper ointment cream and baby powder to help keep your baby off of diaper rash.

New Baby Checklist: 5 Tips When Diapering A Baby

June 19, 2009 in New Parent Tips | No comments

It’s hard when you’re a first time parent and you don’t know what to do when your baby needs to have a change of diapers. Here are some tips on how to make sure that you don’t end up wet yourself:

1. Make sure that your hands are clean and that you have everything that you would need within your reach.

2. If there’s no changing table available, you can make use of any flat surface so long as you cover it with a towel. The floor, however, is more advisable as this would prevent accidents from happening.

3. As much as possible, try avoiding the use of power. Talcum powder has been linked to lung cancer and female genital cancer while cornstarch powder stimulates growth of yeast.

4. If your baby tends to be fuzzy and cranky while you are changing the diaper, it’s a good idea to give them a toy, sing or talk to them to keep them occupied. However, avoid giving food to your baby as this could cause him to choke.

5. Your baby boy would usually spray you with urine when he is exposed to air. To prevent this, make sure that you have a towel ready.

Changing the baby’s diaper can be quite a daunting task for new parents but it could also be fun. Should you feel that your baby has made a whole lot of mess, it would be better to give her a bath. Simply Unique Baby Gifts offers baby towels in various sizes that will make diaper change as well as bath time a lot more fun.
