White Noise and Practical Tips When Traveling with Baby

A white noise machine for travel becomes an indispensable gadget when you travel with a young child.  Babies and intruding noise always spell trouble that a mother’s soothing voice may not be enough to reassure baby that everything is all right.  A white noise machine has built-in low-level background sound; it is engineered to mask intruding noise that can distract baby’s sleep. 

Here is a model of a white noise machine for travel:

Aside from a good sleep, babies need food – enough of it.  And when is enough, enough?  Well, it is hard to tell with babies.  The best strategy is always to pack a little extra, just in case appetite picks up during your journey.

Are you breastfeeding?  Great!  Breastfeeding is the most convenient way to feed your baby; however, it may be inconvenient for mothers at certain times of the day.  The trick is to store your mother’s milk in a spill-proof canister, and put it inside a portable cooler, packed with ice.  Babies need to consume packed-mother’s milk within 24 hours, to avoid spoilage.

Those who prefer to pack baby formula when they travel can minimize inconvenience by bringing feeding bottles, pre-measured baby milk, and water.

Baby cereals, ready-to-mix baby foods of different flavor varieties, including fruits are also excellent ideas. 

When it comes to family travels, the rule of thumb is always to exercise foresight; bring a white noise machine to ward off intruding noise, and always pack something extra for family needs, most especially when there is a baby.  However, remember to moderate.  Know when “enough” becomes too much.  Do not lose your sense of adventure because of excess baggage. 

Baby Headbands: Easy and Fun Ways to Celebrate Daughters

Father and Daughter

Baby headbands are not just hair accessories you buy from a store today, and toss inside the drawer tomorrow when your baby has outgrown her crib, and grew her hair into a ponytail.  You can create memories with baby headbands; here is my story.

It took me six long years, and about 24 visits to my Obstetrician before I conceived a child at 29.  And when she finally arrived on March 16, 1992, I had one goal:  to celebrate her every day!

Lizbeth, her name, weighed only about 6.3 lbs.  Unlike most girls, she had a scrubbed head.  It was a challenge to dress her up like a doll because a cute dress and a bald head rarely match.  So, I had to devise a plan on how to make my daughter looked like the princess I always thought of her in my dreams.

Thanks to baby headbands, the job was effortless and a lot of fun!

Press forward to 1997 until 2005, Sophie, Debra and Bardot, my other daughters took turns in wearing Lizbeth’s baby headbands for all their “firsts” – first birthday, first haircut, first tooth, and a lot of other milestones in their lives; however, handcrafting Lizbeth’s baby headbands had the most impact on my memory.  Perhaps it’s true that the first daughter always has the biggest slice of her mother’s heart!  (Pls. don’t tell my other daughters about it.)

You, too, should learn how to make baby headbands for your daughters.  It’s not really the finished product that counts or rewards your experience, but the feeling of “celebrating” your daughters each time you create a masterpiece on their heads.

Find out how these flower appliqués on skinny elastic headbands would create favorable impressions for your daughters.  You can also use baby headbands to create an illusion about the size of your daughter’s wardrobe, as each headband is reasonably priced, you can mix and match your daughter’s clothes with each new color and design.

White Noise Machine: Perfect Baby Shower Gift

A baby's arrival is always a blessing, regardless of whose economic standpoint you view it from. Bank account balances rarely matter; everyone wants to welcome a new baby!

However, if you can save up a few dollars in a baby shower that cost less to organize, but accomplishes its objectives for the welfare of both mother and child, would you not go for it? After all, setting up a baby shower is not for the pageantry of the event, but for bringing friends and families together to welcome the child.

Baby shower gifts need not be expensive either; in fact, a white noise machine that blocks out noise in a baby's room to promote long hours of quality sleep costs way a lot cheaper than a fine-diner.

Great Tips on How You can Make Baby Sleep Easily

Just like adults, babies throw tantrums when they lack sleep. However, unlike adults who can easily find a way to get drowsy over a few bottles of beer, babies need special attention when they don’t seem comfortable and could not sleep. Fever can make baby irritable, but oftentimes, it is noise that keeps baby awake.

Regardless of reason, Moms and Dads would get as bad a night when baby refuses to sleep, but good for baby, he does not get a memo when he wakes up late. Not all Moms and Dads are as lucky.

Here is one special tip on how you can remedy baby’s many sleepless nights and Mom’s or Dad’s burn-out mornings:

Buy a white noise machine for baby. White noise machine is a gadget you can install in your baby’s room to mask noise that disrupts his sleep, like the barking of a dog, foot traffic inside the house, or The Simpsons on your television.  It looks like this:

There are many sleep aids available in the market today, and conventional approaches that never lost their touch, such as swaddling or rocking the baby, or by simply inserting a pacifier into his mouth.

These tips may also work on your baby:

1. Minimize baby’s sleep hours during the day. Obviously, babies who sleep long hours during the day would spend the same amount of hours he lays awake at night.

2. Establish a sleeping pattern that baby can get use to easily, until it becomes a habit. When you keep changing the hours as to when he goes to sleep or stays awake, this would confuse the baby and the harder it is to develop a habit.

3. Keep baby comfortable. Check if he is wet, sick or hungry. Exercise a lot of common sense when dealing with a little child; if he cries, you listen. Surely, he wants to tell you something.
