There are many types of baby bottles in the market today; the traditional feeding bottles for babies are made of plastic and are quite inexpensive. However, there are also glass baby feeding bottles that are safer to use but much more pricey. You will also have to check on the types of teats that are appropriate for your baby’s age. The teat or the nipple of the baby bottle feeding controls the amount of milk that your baby gets. While there are teats that only let in a small amount of milk into your baby’s mouth, it is important for you to remember that it would still be more than what your baby gets from breastfeeding. Feeding bottles have to be washed and sterilized a lot since your baby would need about 8 feedings in a day. Additionally, you might be raring to go back to work and would need extra bottles to store your own milk in for your baby when you are at work. This means that you need to have a load of feeding bottles at home that are sturdy and can last for a long time.

Plastic feeding bottles for babies are safe for use, regardless of bad publicity that made a lot of parents want to switch to glass bottles. There have been reports that some trace chemicals in the manufacturing of plastic feeding bottles could be harmful to your growing baby. However, FDA has already released a statement that this is not true. The only disadvantage of plastic feeding bottles would be that they should be changed as soon as the plastic is already blurred. This is not to say that it becomes less safe but only because you will have a hard time reading the demarcations for ounces. Glass baby feeding bottles made a comeback right after the concerns on chemicals in plastic bottles surfaced. They are still a viable option though, if only to make you feel at ease with what you use to feed your baby. The only trouble is that because it is glass, it is much heavier and easier to break.

One of the greatest joy for parents is to see the children have become self independent and be able to perform most of the activities in their own. One of the hardest tasks that parents find it not enjoyable to do is toilet training. This may be due to it being dirty and smelly for one to engage in. Any child, who gains the ability to walk, tends to get the urge to be clean always and hence would require the parents to be able to know how to teach him/her this issue of toilet training.

When parents engage in toilet training of their children they are going to be faced with a lot of challenges that may make them angry. It is good that you do not show your child that you are angry otherwise the child will be stressed out which may develop into complications in future where he/she will not be able to manage his/her anxiety. If you see your child at a specific age cannot be bale to differentiate between urinating and defecating, you should not be troubled it is normal and he/she is going to learn the difference with time. Moist children are not able to control their bladder habits in there earlier years and it becomes harder when it comes to bowel training, it tends to become even harder.

Others may poop and then start playing with it while others since they do not know poop is bad they are going to start eating the poop, this is normal since they are in the anal stage and they are curious to learn, what you need to do is to explain to the child that this type of behavior is not allowed for them to engage in. don’t be too harsh to the child otherwise it might have adverse consequences in future. You will also notice that for the boys they are going to be peeing in the early years, live them to do that so that they can be able to control their bladders efficiently, but after sometime, request your husband to teach the boy how to urinate while standing. There are those children who value their poop and do not want to see it being flush, if you have such a kid show the kid that poop is not good and they should not be stressed because of it going down the drain.
