Finger painting is a fun thing you can do with a toddler. I made edible finger paint, put down some paper, then stripped my little Picasso down to her diaper–she had a great time! The recipe: 1 Tbsp of water and drops of food colouring (liquid). Just mix and paint. When finished, put sticky child into the tub and rinse off (it did not stain her body).

Safe Co-sleeping with Baby

How to make co-sleeping work for you and your family.

by: Elizabeth Pantley

Co-sleeping

  • Every family has different nighttime needs and the key is to find the solution that feels right to everyone in your family, whether it's putting baby in a crib in the nursery, or co-sleeping.
  • The best choice for co-sleeping is to place a large, firm mattress on the floor, making sure there are no crevices that your baby can become wedged in.
  • Infants should be placed between their mother and the wall or guardrail as fathers, siblings, and grandparents don't have the same instinctual awareness of a baby's location as mothers do.
  • Remove pillows and blankets in the early months and don't wear night-clothes with strings or long ribbons. Don't wear jewelry to bed and if your hair is long, put it up.
  • Make sure that your young baby is sleeping on her back, which is the safest position for sleep.

The family bed, co-sleeping, shared sleep–no matter what you call it, it means that your baby sleeps with you, or very close to you. Co-sleeping is popular with parents (particularly nursing mothers) of young babies who wake throughout the night and also with parents of older babies who enjoy the nighttime closeness with their child. If you're considering co-sleeping, here's what you should know about the easiest–and safest–way to share sleep with your child. To view the full story click here.
