want to try...? c'mon!

Did you think that Breastmilk is only for feeding baby? As breastmilk is “clean” and has anti-bacterial & healing properties, have you considered other great uses for it? Here are some that you can try! [Note: Suitable for babies & children, and even adults!] Eye infections / Conjuctivitis ("Pink Eye"): Squirt into the eye. Do this as frequently as possible until healed. If the baby/child doesn’t allow you to squirt breastmilk into his eye, then do it while they are sleeping. Squirt around the crease of closed eyes, then gently lift the lids to allow the breastmilk to seep into the eye. Sore/cracked nipples: Rub into nipples after feedings and air dry.

To become an effective parent

Do you know,that Research Shows Parent Involvement in Education Important To Student Success? hmmm,despite of very expensive cost of children's education,there's one important thing that frequently get our attention. It is no wonder that parent involvement with the schools has become a major educational issue. This is an era of concern about the quality of education in this country. States are taking a greater role in monitoring and maintaining academic standards. Communities are ever more watchful of the expense of public education. Local schools are concerned about continuing to provide high-quality teaching and other services with dwindling resources. And parents want assurance that their children will receive adequate preparation to lead rewarding adult lives.

my child,be HEALTHY...

Grow Up Strong -- Teach Proper Dental Care Early Not only will a healthy smile, fresh breath, and strong teeth contribute to your child's overall health, confidence, and self-esteem, but good oral health also will help him avoid gum disease, which can lead to tooth loss and a host of other serious health problems in adulthood, including heart disease. RealAge Projection: Regular brushing and flossing are healthy habits no child can afford to skip. In fact, kids who stick with daily flossing and brushing in adulthood can shave as much as 6.4 years off their age. When they’re turning 40, their RealAge will still be in their early 30s. By starting good dental habits early, even before the first tooth appears, your child will find it easier to stick with those good habits forever. Take the time to instruct, supervise, and motivate your child to establish good oral-health habits early. That includes regular trips to the dentist, beginning with the appearance of the first tooth.
