Mom's Tips

Today's top tip

Bottle area

 

Keep a flask of cooled, boiled water near your bottle-making area. Top it up with freshly boiled water everyday to keep it at the perfect temperature. This way you always have easily accessible, sterilised water to fill a bottle - and it's always at the right temperature!

Is your child often ill?

 

For a quick and easy record use a paperclip to keep all of your child’s medication paper inserts together. On each one write the date, dosage, diagnosis and any unusual reactions your child has to the medication. File these when you collect too many. These papers will become a medical record that you’ll refer to time and time again.

Salt for bad odours

 

Cover any spill that leaves a bad odour with salt. Leave it to dry for a couple of hours and simply vacuum. It works great for milk and urine mishaps.

Peas please

 

Give your toddler peas to eat. They are healthy and will promote finger feeding which develops the pincer grip. It will also develop his fine motor skills and keep him busy and quiet for a while!
