Modern Parents Guide & Tips | KeaBabies Blog

Pregnancy can be a wonderful, exciting time for moms - but it’s also a time filled with aches and pains that you might not have experienced before! Women shouldn’t have to suffer through pregnancy, though, so here are some simple ways for dealing with common pregnancy ailments.

My partner and I are constantly evaluating our parenting. We’re very committed to learning from our “mistakes” and passing on as little of our baggage to our kiddo as possible. Our intention in doing a “yes day” was to observe the ins and outs of our son without “waiting to correct his behavior”.

"By the end, repeating to myself, a fed baby is a happy baby gave me the strength to overcome all the things."

We’ve covered quite a few things to do in order to have THE best pregnancy you can have. Don’t let yourself feel too overwhelmed by all the to-dos and not-to-dos. You’ve got this, mama!

It’s summer, which means lots of time spent outdoors, playing and enjoying the beautiful warm weather. However, all that time spent outside often means your kids will have more exposure to bugs, and all the frustrating and painful bites and stings that come along with them!

Getting ready before you conceive is the ultimate start to becoming a new parent. If you know the dos and don’ts, you’ll have a smooth transition from singlehood to being a full-fledged mom. 

We must try to remember that behaviour is learnt, that we have the power to influence a babies’ behaviour positively or negatively and that we need to set our expectations based upon their developmental ability, circumstance and age.

Fathers are extremely important figures in children’s lives, so it’s important to nurture and celebrate that bond - even from birth! 

When my 10 year-old-was born 3 months early and started her 8-month NICU stay, I never imagined how different life would end up being. While most moms take their baby home before a week, we had to wait over a month just to hold her.

One of the wonders of being human is our individuality – no one is quite the same! And babies are no different. So, how do we understand infant behaviour, without putting pressure on ourselves for our little ones to develop in exactly the same way others do? How do we support them with their behavioural development whilst accepting them for who they are (and who they will become)? And when should we seek help if we are worried?

Father’s Day is just around the corner, and what better way to surprise Dad than with a special homemade keepsake? Gather your craft supplies, set up an art table, and get to work with your kids creating fun projects for Dad this year.

Water is essential for active, growing children. After all, a child’s body is 65-75% water! Adequate hydration is necessary for regulating a number of bodily functions, such as proper digestion, movement of waste, blood circulation, joint health, and body temperature regulation.
