Play Ideas For Your baby


Babies begin to learn from the moment they are born. The first few months of a child's life will be very important in terms of future development.

Babies respond extremely well to interaction from parents, and play can be a great way of providing stimulus and building a relationship of trust between parent and child. There are several play ideas which can keep a child entertained and stimulated.

Playing is a natural human instinct; it is important for emotional, physical and cognitive development. It also has the added benefit of keeping a child happy and content. A particularly beneficial type of play involves repetition. It may take some children a while to learn how to play with certain toys; however, they will quickly learn if they're given regular opportunities. Perseverance will often lead to a situation where a baby giggles with excitement at the mere sight of a favourite toy. Busy Peas is a great brand that has developed a great range of educational toys and books themed around healthy eating.

Baby Jewellery Buyer's Guide

D for Diamond - Girls Silver Ballet Shoes & Bow Pendant
Parents across the world have been adorning their children with beautiful baby jewellery for centuries. It is something widely accepted in many cultures and often seen as a symbol of wealth and social status. Today, most mothers or fathers buy their kids jewels to accessorize their child’s wardrobe. This article is about the safety issues that parents need to consider if they want their child to wear jewellery.

Long necklaces can become a choking hazard as well as loosely attached pearls on bracelets. A baby may try to chew off bangles on a bracelet and end up hurting or chocking themselves. Long necklaces can wrap around a small infant’s neck and rings can cut off circulation if they are too tight.

When you shop for baby jewels, safety should be your priority. Make sure that small components are not loose and firmly fixed into the piece. A string of pearls can be dangerous if the necklace is too long or if the chain is not durable. If the string breaks, pearls can come loose and end up in your child’s mouth, throat or nose and present a choking hazard.
