			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Bonding is simple word but yet it does amazing things. Bonding is a intense attachment with your baby. It is a great amount of love and affection and you will do anything to protect your baby. These intense feelings form naturally. Studies shown bonding can start right in the womb, mothers often form greater bonds with the child but daddies can also bond with the unborn child by <a  href="http://thebizsellers.com/ach/ach-file-format.php">Ach Transfer Vs Wire Transfer</a>  spending time talking to him, reading or singing to your child when he is developing in the womb. <a  href="http://www.swiftcodesbank.com/cjsc-citibank-kazakhstan.php">Cjsc Citibank Kazakhstan</a>  Make your voice a familiar sound to him.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: <a  href="http://ampicillin-pharm.net">online ampicillin</a>  justify;&#034;><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">For some parents, these feelings of bonding takes place minutes right after birth while some may takes a few days or slightly longer. If you do not feel the bond right after birth, it is normal.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #993366;"><em><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">&#034; <a  href="http://ampicillin-pills.com">ampicillin buy</a>  I remembered when i had my firstborn, i was very excited when i was expecting , always wanted to see my child soon. Right after delivery when the nurse handed me my baby, honesty i do not feel the strong bond to my child at first sight. I was probably too exhausted from the delivery and had a sudden shock that i was holding on to a newborn. I did not even shed any tears of joy and i merely look at her and see if she was fine. I only felt the bond when i started to breastfeed her. It was a moment of pure joy that someone so beautiful and pure was created and belongs to me. Suddenly i recalled the times i felt her kicking inside my womb and  there was a feeling of protecting this little life. Until today, this little life has grown and sometimes she makes my heart boiled. But deep inside i know that no matter what happens, i will always have intense love and protection for her  &#034;</span></span></em></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Bonding requires time. Give your self some <a  href="http://ampicillin-pills.net">buy ampicilin online</a>  time to adjust to this <a rel="nofollow" href="&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.naturalmomplr.com/amember/go.php?r=297&amp;i=l4&quot;&gt;Natural Baby Plr Article Pack&lt;/a&gt;" target="_blank">new life.</a> You cannot force bonding, it will comes naturally over time. As you sees your child everyday and taking care of her, you will realise that when you see her little smile, your heart fills with great happiness and love. That bonding &#8230;!!</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">if you find that yourself detached yourself from your baby after a few weeks after birth, it could be a sign of <a  href="http://sgmummy.com/mental-postpartum-care/" target="_blank">postnatal depression</a> that is delaying bonding. Do consult a health professional or your doctor and seek help as soon as possible.</span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">How difficult is it to make babies sleep through the night? This may seems simple to people who does  not have any children yet. One of my ex collegue said &#034; It a simple theory, you sleep when you are tired right. i am sure babies do that too &#8230;&#034; For those who has experienced it personally, you will agree what i mean by getting a baby to <a  href="http://ampicillin-pharm.net">Ampicillin buy cheap</a>  sleep  through the night is no easy task. It can be a draining, exhausting and stressful journey.<br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">For a newborn, it is common that they cant sleep through the night yet. This is because they need a milk feed every two or three hourly due to their tiny tummy. They have frequent diapers change as well. Some newborns may have colic or reflux that caused distruption in their sleep. But as the baby grows, they should be able to sleep through the night from 3 months old onwards. As their stomach grows and able to take in greater amount of milk, they tend to wake up less <a  href="http://www.swiftcodesbank.com/ojsc-temirbank.php">Ojsc Temirbank</a>  for milk feeds. Accordingly to experts , our body has the ability to function without <a  href="http://ampicillin-pills.net">buy ampicilin online</a>  food <a  href="http://ampicillin-pills.com">ampicillin buy</a>  at night during the time we sleep. God has designed the way life is supposed to be and children is exactly the same. They are also able to sleep through the night without having to have a milk feed. well, how nice if life is so perfect and structured. Commonly , about 80% of babies cannot sleep through the night even when they are over a year old. This can be very draining for the parents waking up to 3 times a night. For the child, it also affects the brain development. Sleep is an amazing tool for children, it actually makes <a  href="http://thebizsellers.com/ach/ach-credits.php">Online Payment System</a>  your child &#034;smarter&#034; &#8211; because getting sufficient sleep is the key to optimum development. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Personally, my two girls were able to sleep through the night by their 2nd month for at least 7-8 hours straight. They do not require any additional night feeds or diaper change. I am really thankful as they do not have colic or other distruptive problems. Some of my friends were battling with this problem for months and they are really craving for a night of quality sleep. Many have tried various ways such as giving a night bath, keeping night activities away, massaging or even having soothing lullaby. Some of the techniques workes but only temporary. I remember chatting with one of my oversea friend from Germany , how does she cope with having three young kids, and managing all the household chores while pursing a course at the same time. She shared with me that her kids slept at 730 pm through to the next morning. That is why she is able to have her personal  time to complete everything in her list. It was really amazing and jaw dropping when i heard that.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Having twins or multiples is just like being a mother 2 or more times. The only difference is that it is done at the same time. Motherhood is already very tough and imagine having more than 1 child at the same time. It is going to be a real challenge but hang in there, you be fine. </span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Here is some tips to help cope with things better</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Things you should prepare</span></span></strong></p>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><span <a  href="http://thebizsellers.com/ach/ach-clearinghouse.php">Ach Mein</a>  style=&#034;font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;&#034;><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>A Feeding Chart. </strong>You <a  href="http://www.swiftcodesbank.com/tcw-london-international-ltd.php">TCW London International LTD</a>  will need one chart for each child. For infant, you need to record the time of each feed and if you are bottle feeding, you may also want to jot down the amount drank for each feed. If you are starting solid food, keep a chart of the time for milk feed, meals time and snack time. This will help you to organise yourself.
<p></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>A wrist tag .</strong> In the initial days, you may need to have a wrist tag, it can be anything to help you identify each child. if should be water resistant so that you need not take it off when bathing. You do not need this if your twins or mutiples are not identicial.
<p></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>An extra helping hand. </strong>Try to plan for an extra helping hand  especially during the initial days after delivery. If you cant find anyone, ask your hubby for help.
<p></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Double up</strong>. You may need to double up your necessities for your newborns. It may mean more packets of diaper, more clothing etc. A dual electric breastpump is a must. It can be your best friend especially when you need to express milk faster <a  href="http://ampicillin-pharm.net">buy ampicillin online</a>  and more at one time. You may also need a pram that can accomodate your newborns.
<p></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Have a plan rooster. </strong>Schedule a plan that states clearly the role of each member of the family. e.g Daddy can have take charge for all the diaper changing , grandma can help to bathe the babies. Try to disseminate the roles so that you as a mum can have some rest time to recuperate when you are not feeding your babies.

<li><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> <strong>Be mentally prepared. </strong>You need to know that having twins or multiples means double the crying,  double the mess, double the work.
