Self Help ebooks and audio programs to improve YOU and Your Life.

You finally have your baby, pretty as an angel and sleeping sweetly in your arms.
For the first couple of weeks you are totally wrapped up in the new child, learning all you can about her wants and needs; memorizing every inch of her face, the dimples on her hands, and the sound of her breathing.

As the weeks go by and you have assured yourself that she definitely can survive without you being by her side every moment, you become to come a bit back into yourself.
Your hair could use a trim and your eyebrows could use a wax, you notice. It’s time to address another concern as well, which concerns your tummy, hips, and, yes, backside as well. You may be someone’s mother, but that doesn’t mean you have to look matronly. You watched your weight and exercised when you were pregnant, but there’s still the issue of some pounds and inches that need to go!

The best news of all is that you are automatically burning more calories by the simple fact that they are carrying the baby around. Factor in the calories expended by lugging strollers, putting them in and out of the car, carrying all this up and down stairs and the weight can’t help but come off! Doctors recommend, though, that you shouldn’t lose more than two pounds a week, if you want to maintain the weight loss.

It’s good to know that your baby is already helping you on that score! Breastfeeding burns five hundred calories a day. New moms average an output of eight hundred millilitres of fluid. As the baby grows, your body will produce more milk for her requirements. Pretty clever of your little angel to arrange this weight loss for you!
Your baby will have a warm, comfortable time while you burn calories and think about it: carrying the weight of the baby helps burn even more calories! As you begin to take your baby out and introduce her to the world, putting your little one in a cosy sling right next to your body and have a saunter around the block, or through a park. You will both enjoy the closeness that a sling provides, while you will have your hands free to wave hello or pick a flower

When the baby gets bigger and graduates from sling to backpack or stroller, you will be able to cover more ground. Walking alone can burn two hundred calories an hour; pushing a stroller adds to that total, and walking uphill really starts burning those calories up! There are moms that power walk with a stroller; indeed, there are specially built strollers that have wheels more like bicycles than regular stroller wheels, and can manoeuvre much more quickly and better as mom steps up the pace. The moms suggest you do power walks first thing in the morning after feeding baby; if you linger too long you may come up with a clever reason to stay home!If walking isn’t your style but you love the pool, taking your baby into the water can be a fun and magical experience for both of you. Babies usually love the sensation of the warm water that reminds them of the womb, and some mothers advise that fretful babies or babies having trouble going to sleep can be calmed.
Moms can get even more benefit from the pool by using the baby while doing water aerobics. Just make sure the water is warm, of course!

Anyone that has had a baby, knows that the worst sound that you can hear is them crying.
Although everyone knows that all newborns cry and show some fussiness, it is also clear that when a child who is basically healthy cries for more than 3 hours straight during the process of a day, it is more than likely colic that is causing it.

These days it is estimated that up to 25% of all babies have colic. It usually starts between the 3rd and 6th week after they are born, and goes away on its own by the time the baby is somewhere around 3 months old. If the baby is still crying to the extreme after that time, chances are that some sort of health problem may be the problem instead.

There are quite a few facts about colic that you may not realize. These facts are:

• Colicky babies generally have a healthy sucking reflex and a really good sense of appetite and are otherwise healthy and growing well. Sick babies may seem to be colicky but they won’t eat very well and they won’t have the same strong sucking reflex.
• Colicky babies really enjoy being cuddled and handled. Sick babies are usually uncomfortable when they are handled.
• Colicky babies may spit up a bit, but if your baby is actually vomiting and/or losing weight something is very wrong and this is not a symptom of colic.
• Colicky babies usually have normal stools. If your baby is hard to soothe and has diarrhea or if you see blood in the stool, call your doctor.
This all being said, you should have a better idea of trying to decipher if your child actually has colic and not a more serious problem. With this in mind, this book is going to be your comprehensive guide to understanding colic and how you can get your colicky baby to sleep through the night so that you can sleep through the night!
