5 interesting facts about your baby

The recent Sleep Sense conference held in the United States shed interesting light on the first few days of breastfeeding, the benefit of chiropracting, fussy eating, autism and the difference between boys and girls.

The first three days determine breast milk supply

It is vital for a newborn baby to be breastfed as much as possible in the first three days, as new studies have proven that this will ensure a constant milk production in the future.

It is suggested that parents leave the pacifier or dummy in the drawer for the first few days and try to enjoy the bond with their newborn.

Pediatric Chiropractors can solve ear aches, constipation and even stuttering

One of the world’s leading pediatric chiropractors shared amazing testimonies of what chiropractic treatments can achieve for families with newborns.

Is lack of Zinc the reason for picky eaters?

It has been proven that sufficient amounts of zinc can actually improve and change taste buds. A leading cause for children being picky eaters is insufficient amounts of zinc.

Autistic children rule households

An informative session from an Autism specialist explained the importance of parents being aware of the signs of autism. The earlier it is detected, the better it can be treated with behaviour therapy. Autism does also not need to be the reason for poor sleep in any child.
