If you pick the wrong soap it can be harmful to your baby’s skin. In this article I intend on giving you some pointers on how to choose the right soap for your baby.
Many people don’t understand that there are many different types of soap. And when it comes to baby soaps that’s another story. You worry about so many different things at bath time. You wonder if the water is the right temperature. You hope you are holding the baby right. Everything is slippery and you don’t want to let your baby slip. So with all this to worry about you shouldn’t worry about keeping your baby’s skin soft and safe.
Of course you want to do the best for your baby and of course you want your baby to be healthy. By keeping the child’s skin healthy that will go a long way towards maintaining the health of your baby. So in saying that I have a few points to find the right soap.
You need soap that is gentle
The soap should be hypoallergenic
The soap needs to be non-toxic
The soap should definitely be SLS free
It’s so important to make sure the baby soap is very gentle so that it is not irritating to your baby’s skin during bath time. Bath time is supposed to be pleasant so let’s keep it that way. At this young age you don’t know what your baby is allergic to yet so it’s very important to use hypoallergenic soap. Babies are always putting their hands and toes in their mouths so that’s why it’s very important to use soap that’s non toxic. It will give you peace of mind to know that if your baby does swallow some soap no harm will be done. Sodium Laurel Sulphate is a very harsh chemical used to help your soap foam. In some soaps the SLS has damaged immune systems and it has inflamed skin. Now I am absolutely positive this is something you don’t want to expose your baby to.
It’s not odd for your baby to develop the occasional bump or rash in the first few weeks and months. Most of these will come and go naturally but by all means if you have some concerns then you should see your doctor.
I would recommend using natural baby soap. These soaps are only made from natural ingredients. These ingredients insure that your babies skin will remain soft and safe. For many things natural soaps can even help to soothe rashes or small skin irritations.

How To When It Comes To Potty Training
Potty training can be one of the most challenging times in a child’s and parent’s life. In this article I intend to give you some points to hopefully make the experience that more enjoyable.
The first part of potty training is when your child starts to show readiness to use the potty. Some of the signs are listed below
They show interest in the potty
They tell you that they have to go to the bathroom
They can dress and undress themselves
The child hates to be in a wet diaper
The child stays dry for many hours
He or she imitates other family members
They express an interest in wearing big peoples underwear
The child has regular bowel movements
When your child shows a readiness you shouldn’t waste this time. It is time to introduce him or her to the concept of using the potty. Introducing them can be done by video training. You can also buy potty training books to be read at bed time. Make sure you buy a chair for the potty. It’s also not bad for your child to see you use the potty because they will often imitate you.
There’s a good chance that the child will imitate his or her parents by sitting in their potty chair while you go to the bathroom. This is a good time to start teaching good hygiene by washing your hands after every potty use.
You need to promote muscle memory. You can accomplish this by giving the child lots of liquids and then taking them to the potty every thirty minutes. It’s also necessary to make a big deal when the child first uses the potty. You can do this with a big hug, clapping and even a small reward.
There’s one last stage to the potty training and that’s probably the hardest one. Many children have problems when it comes to using the potty outside the home in public areas. The amounts of people and with nothing being familiar makes things a little and lots of times a lot intimidating. All you can do is be patient with your child and promise them rewards for good days away from home.
In some cases the kids will be very easy to potty train but in others it will seem like an endless situation. Every child develops differently. You have to be patient and remember how new this is to your child. There are also several potty training products out there.
