Brushing Hyzyd's teeth!?!

Hyzyd has already four teeth when he reaches his 7 months. Do I need to brush them now?...and I read that the answer is definitely YES!!!

I thought that I begin brushing his teeth when he reaches one year old. My friend told me that though his primary teeth may be replaced during the early school years by his permanent pearls, still it's important to take care of them now and to establish the habits that will lead him toward a lifetime of dental health.

So, what should I do now? Searching google resolved my query....It's confirmed that tooth brushing can begin as soon as those pearly gems have poked through the gums. This is what I'm going to do:

Use a clean, damp washcloth, a gauze pad, or a throwaway finger brush to gently wipe clean the first teeth and the front of the tongue, after meals and at bedtime. Actually I've been doing this before, minus the teeth...he..he..My sis-in-law commented that Hyzyd got a clean tongue...*wink*...It's my father who taught me this even Hyzyd was still a week-old.

Toothbrushes — moistened only with water and perhaps a small drop of nonfluoridated baby toothpaste for taste — can also be used, but they should be very soft and with no more than three rows of bristles (I'll ask our friend pharmacist to help us find the finger brushes (i think I have this one..gonna check it later)... and a proper baby toothbrush)

Hope Hyzyd will not bite me...he...he...

advantages of using ergo baby carriers

I really find it very convenient to have a baby carrier . I could get things done around the house. I could do my rounds on shopping. We could eat in a restaurant without any hassles. I like Hyzyd to be held all the time while I'm at home on weekends and at the same time doing some minimal household chores. I read from the Baby Book of William and Martha Shears that using a baby carrier reduces crying and colic. A 1986 study of 99 mother-infant pairs (reported in Pediatrics) showed that carrying babies at least three hours a day reduces crying and fussing 43% during the day and 51% at night. Babies are happier because they have less need to cry, and parents enjoy their babies more as a result. This simply explains why Hyzyd is a happy baby. I don't have a problem with him. Carrying my baby promotes bonding and enhances my feelings of competence as a parent. A higher frequency of feeding and touching stimulates mothering hormones, and frequent carrying encourages and speeds the

on your 17 months...

On your 17th months Hyzyd (it was last March 23) , it's pretty obvious that you love DRUMS! Do you want to be a drummer someday ? Every time we walked in the church you point first on the drums on stage and sometimes when your dad is playing there during the Praise and Worship service, you also wanted to be there with him! You cried and scream to get your way, which I find embarrassing my son ...so we end up staying in the office the whole time watching your dad plays the guitar through a window. We know that you love to "bang" those drum sets but we need to let you understand that you can play the drums after the service. You use to wake up late in the morning like 8:30 to 9:00 am but when your dad plays on the computer the Hillsongs' drum tutorial, you surely wake up to watch the video too! So, that's what I'm going to do tomorrow to let you wake up at 7:00 am because I'm going to bring you to school. We don't have class but we still need to sign in.

It's me, HYZYD!
