Fisher-Price: Newborn to Toddler Rocker

This multi-usage baby gear does more than just rocks your baby to sleep. It is specifically and carefully designed with safety (seat-belt restraints, adjustable heights and angles) and function ability in mind to enrich your baby's every waking moment, be it at play or during feeding time, making this an essential baby gear for all your baby's vital activities.

Newborn to Toddler Rocker is easily portable. It is able to withstand your baby's weight from newborn up to 18kg.

Functions of Fisher Price : Newborn to Toddler Rocker

As a Sleep Rocker

Many babies use ryhthmic behaviours to soothe themselves to sleep. The Newborn to Toddler Rocker has 3 important features:

1) Low Profile Frame

This rocker is easily adjusted to a low position so it becomes a comfortable and secure bedding.This supports her fragile neck as she falls fast asleep.

2) Rocker

The rocker's gentle rocking motion further coaxes even the fussiest of babies to fall asleep with minimmal effort.

3) Calming Vibrations

These sleep-inducing sounds remind baby of the sounds she used to hear while in the womb. Repetitive and monotonous, they lull the baby to sleep.

For Feeding & Bonding

Its wide-based frame with safety restraints and versatile seat angles are designed to enrich your bonding experience as you lovingly feed your baby and watch her grow day by day. The seat cover is machine washable so if she decides to be playful with her food ... join her for some fun!

Learn-through-Play

When your baby's awake, she looks forward to exploring new world. Her brain is like a sponge, quickly soaking in all that you teach her so it is important that her toys be fun and educational. With this in mind, the toy bar on the Newborn to Toddler Rocker will help promote her development in these areas:

1) Eye-hand Coordination

With different toys of different play functions, your baby baby learns to use both her visual and mental skills to control her muscles to initiate movements, through repetitive play.

2) Visual Stimulation

Eye-catching toys of contrasting colours, patterns, designs, curves and symmetry promote her visual development so she can gain better control of her own movements and slowly learns to interact with her new environment.

3) Auditory Stimulation

A sound-rich environment is important to stimulate your baby's learning and growth. Although well developed at birth, her sense of hearing is not as refined as an adult's, but her sense of of hearing continues to develop throughout her infancy period. As you jingle the musical toys while talking or singing to her, her hearing skill sharpens. This sets an important foundation for language development.

BPA FREE - What is it all about ?

(Click on the picture to view all BPA FREE Feeding Bottles available at myBBstore.com - Malaysia Preferred Online Baby Store and Shop)

Bisphenol-A (or commonly known as BPA) is a hormone-disrupting chemical considered to be potentially harmful to human health and the environment.Bisphenol-A also know as BPA has estragenic properties which in animal tests has shown to cause serious health risks such as an increase in prostate and breast cancer,uro-genital abnormalities in male babies, and a decline in semen quality. Early-life exposure to BPA can also cause genetic damage. Researchers found that BPA causes chromosomal errors at low levels of exposure in mice, which can lead to spontaneous miscarriages and birth defects. As for human data, one study found that women with a history of recurrent miscarriages had over threefold higher levels of BPA in their blood compared to women without a miscarriage history.

Adverse effects include:

• Early onset of puberty, and stimulation of mammary gland development in females

• Changes in gender-specific behavior

• Changes in hormones, including decreased testosterone

• Increased prostate size

• Decreased sperm production

• Altered immune function

• Behavioral effects including hyperactivity, increased aggressiveness, impaired learning and other changes in behaviour.

BPA is used in the manufacturing of baby feeding bottles in the material of polycarbonate (commonly known as PC). BPA is used to strengthen the chemical properties of the polycarbonate plastic to ensure production of good quality and durable baby feeding bottle. However, the use of BPA in baby feeding bottles is now discouraged in most countries as the adverse impact of BPA is known.

It has been known that scratched and worn polycarbonate container will leach BPA into liquids. Furthermore, heating food and liquids with these plastics is shown to increase the leaching of this chemical. Most parents aren't aware that baby bottles may be harmful, and that there are safe alternatives. Use alternatives instead of polycarbonate plastic baby bottles and “sippy” cups.

Knowing what we do about BPA leaching and the real risks to children’s health, you might be surprised to learn that most plastic baby feeding bottle and many “training” or “sippy” cups are made of polycarbonate. Fortunately there are alternatives, including baby bottles made of glass, polyethylene (PES) or polypropylene (PP). Those made of pliable, milky-colored plastic contain no polycarbonates. Example of manufacturers of baby bottles that uses BPA FREE material are Philips AVENT, Tommee Tippee, MAM, BFree Plus, Nuby Natural Touch and many more quality brands. Most parents are now switching over to BPA FREE bottles to avoid the health risks imposed by polycarbonate bottles.

All About Breastfeeding (Part 1)

All About Breastfeeding

For a mother, no moment seems to be more precious than holding her own newborn baby for the first time after long hours of labour. While enjoying holding and touching your baby, it is time for the first bonding with your baby - the breastfeeding time! The mother will be given chance to breastfeed her baby right after delivery. At this time the baby is actually feeding on a substance called colostrum (clear liquid) from the mother's breast as mature milk (white liquid) is not developed yet.

Colostrum is very important for a newborn as it will help to protect the baby from infection. Usually, mature milk will come in after 2-3 days and the milk flow will be well established at around the 3rd month.

How to Breastfeed Your Baby

First of all, you must find a comfortable place as you will need to be there for the rest of the hour. Get yourself some pillows or back support cushion so that you wouldn't end up with backache. A nursing pillow will be ideal though. Hold you baby near to your chest and gently guide your baby's head towards your breast. A newborn sometimes seems to have trouble finding or staying on your nipple but be patient and encourage the baby by stroking its cheek towards your nipple. Mothers should bear in mind that breastfeeding shouldn't be painful even with the baby latches on the breast. The baby's mouth should cover most part of the areola below the nipple. If you feel pain while baby latches on, break the suction by inserting your little finger between your baby's gums and your nipple and start again.

A successful breastfeeding does need a lot of patience and practice for both mother and baby. Thus, a first time mother shouldn't feel upset and give up easily if the breastfeeding sessions didn't go too well at the beginning. Don't hesitate to ask a nurse or consult a lactation specialist if you come across any problem during breasfeeding.

When to Breastfeed and How Long

Your breasts will produce more milk if you nurse your baby more frequently. as a guideline, you should breastfeed for 10 to 15 minutes per breast and at every 2 to 3 hours. The World Health organization (WHO), Unicef, lactation consultants and paediatricians recommend that
for first 6 months babies should only be fed on breastmilk. And that partial breastfeeding should ideally continue into their 2nd year.

We will continue writing about breastfeeding soon in the second section of this article which will focus on breast pumps and breastfeeding products. A practical Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on breastfeeding will be posted as well. Stay tuned !!

Your Baby's Safety - On the Road

Introduction

In most Western Countries, newborn babies are not allowed to be discharged from the hospitals if the parents vehicles are not equiped with baby car seat. They have strong reasons to impose such laws due to safety of the babies. Newborn babies are fragile and would not be able to withstand any physical force due to car crash. Parents would think that they are able to hold on tight to their baby during car ride but in fact baby could be ripped from parent's arms by the force of collision. Thus, parents should equip themselves with baby safety knowledge in order to protect their baby while on the road. Eventually, understanding how to get a good baby car seat is essential in the beginning.

There always a question to choose which car seat i.e. Infant Car Seat/Carrier or Car Seat, what's the difference ?

Infant Car Seat/Carrier (Birth to approx. 13kg)

According to safety seat experts, babies under 20lbs (9kg) are better off in smaller infant car seats. These seats are designed specially for newborn baby and contoured to securely hold newborns in their place. In addition, they offer good support in right spots such as the sides of baby head and back. It could be installed in the car using car seat belt to become a safety seat. Infant car seat comes with handle thus it is also known as infant carrier. The handle allows parents to carry the baby in his seats from one place to another without distrupting a sleeping baby. An infant car seat is usually comes with rounded shape base so that it could become a rocker too. However, it normally does not comes with reclining function, so when babies starts demanding on sitting upright position, it is time to switch to toddler car sit. Weight limits is usually from 0-13kg.

Infant Car Seat available at myBBstore.com: Halford Elite Classic Baby Carrier, Recaro Young Profi Plus - TrendlineBellini, Recaro Young Profi Plus - Microfibre, Sweet Cherry Carrier Car Seat

Car Seat (Birth to 18kg)

It is heavier in weight as it can be used from newborn babies to approximately 4 years old. This type of car seat is not portable and would be installed in the car during the period of use. This car seat is usually equipped with reclining features in order to accomodate the baby age. The height of the head rest and harness belts can be adjusted at the same time so that the car seat grows with your baby. This is a more economic way of choosing a baby car seat. Weight limits is usually from 0-18kg.
