Kodak moment

 

I keep my camera fully charged at all times and hidden behind a picture frame on the bookshelf in our living room. The charger is right there too. I am less likely to miss those special moments that could be gone if I had to go searching for my camera.

Broken glass

 

Use a dry cotton ball to pick up little pieces of broken glass - the fibres even catch the one's you can't see.

Teach Your Baby To Sleep On Her Own

 

Your child needs to fall asleep where she will wake up (not in your arms, the pram or the car). If you don’t allow her to do so, she will wake disoriented and uncomfortable and won’t be able to go back to sleep on her own. The last memory for your child should be in her own bed, in her own room, with her comfort item. When she wakes up in the night for a reason other than a nappy or feed she will be in a familiar place and more able to go back to sleep on her own.

Crying

 

Don't be alarmed at how stressed you feel when you hear your newborn cry - it's nature's way of making sure you look after her. Try to be calm and confident when you comfort her and you and she will feel less stressed.

cooling water

 

Boil water and put in ice cubes and freeze to instantly cool boiling water for milk or just baby’s drink. Saves you cooling time when baby is restless.
