Another horrible news about BPA!! It looks like where ever you go it follows you. I knew it wouldn’t stop in toperwears and baby bottles, But canned foods? I don’t use canned food that often but I’m thinking of those who does, or some that they only thing they can afford is canned food.

Probably you heard about the affect of music in your prenatal class. I have a very useful experience about how you can make music a part of your child’s life.

I love music myself, I have to listen to music almost daily. Because I used to play piano, I love classics, specialty Mozart. When I was pregnant with my son I used to listen to classical music, I had a small headphone and used to put it on my belly so he could listen well. The music would calm him.

In my previous article “Feeding your infant and toddler”, I mentioned my daughter and her being fussy a eater.

She was a bit difficult compared to my son. I could not see what was wrong, she would have a couple of spoons of food and that would be it; nothing more.

Buying gifts for me is always very difficult. Buying anything is hard for me, I have to be in the shopping mood, and what I want to buy should catch my eyes. Mother’s day gift is harder, because I want it to be personal, special, and show the extend of my love to my mom and mother inlaw. Yes, I pick her gift too, it took me two years to convince my husband that we should buy something more personal than flowers. My mother inlaw is diabetic so brunch or chocolate is out of the question.
