The weather has not been good at all the last few weeks with the exception of that odd day when we got some intermittant Sunshine. I think we have a tendancy to batten down the hatches and say ” too cold to take baby out today”   Not so, the best thing to do is make the best of a Bad Summer get off your Bum and get out there and get some fresh air. Set a destination , the park, the shops and off you go!  Baby will benefit hugely from the fresh air , it will give him/her an appetite for later and help him/her sleep a lot better .  If you can’t get to the park why not put baby out the garden in his pram or buggy for a half hour,  once baby is well wrapped up he will be fine and he will enjoy looking at the sites and sounds around him.

MULTIVITAMINS Have MULTIPLE Effects During Pregnancy

Multivitamins do more than supply the necessary folic acid for growing babies, according to a population study conducted at the University of Pittsburgh.

Researchers there found that women in early pregnancy who took a multivitamin or prenatal vitamin regularly reduced their risk of preeclampsia by 45%. Preeclampsia, which causes elevated blood pressure and protein in the urine, is a leading cause of premature delivery and fetal death.

“If you find yourself having trouble taking prenatal vitamins or you’re having unwanted side effects, talk to your doctor about other, safe options,” advises Jennifer Shu, MD, pediatrician and co-author of Heading Home with Your Newborn: From Birth to Reality.

And always tell your doctor or midwife about all the dietary supplements you take, including herbal remedies

PAID PARENTAL LEAVE should be extended to cover the first year of a child’s life, a group has proposed.

The Start Strong group has submitted a proposal to the National Early Years Strategy saying that the current parental leave should be extended to the first year of a child’s life, the Irish Times reported recently.

Currently, pregnant women are entitled to 26 weeks’ paid maternity leave – but there is no legal requirement for employers to offer paternity leave to new fathers.

New or expectant parents might welcome the move – as it would give them more time with their children, without having to worry about an imminent return to work or a drop in their income.

However, others could argue that it would have an impact on the private sector – as employers would have to pay a substitute worker as well as the new parent.

Parent’s who suck their baby’s soother clean instead of running under the tap could be aiding their children’s health. A recent study suggests that parent’s who suck their baby’s soother to clean it build up immunity to  certain germs. They have lower rates of exzema , asthma,. The study was carried out in Gothenburg, Sweden on a group of 180 children from birth. Health professionals have traditionally advised against Moms cleaning Pacifiers with their mouths claiming it could lead to tooth decay.

However these findings support growing evidence that exposing children some some germs at an early age can be very beneficial to children
