5 Common Myths Concerning Prenatal Vitamins

Common Myths Concerning Prenatal Vitamins

Many women believe that pre-natal vitamins are just the same as any other vitamin out there – just the same old stuff that they’d need to take every day at frequencies recommended in the bottle. The truth, however, is that it can get a lot more complicated than that. There sure are a lot of myths surrounding pre-natal vitamins, and here are the five most prevalent ones that we are going to debunk.

You Should Only Take Prenatal Vitamins During Pregnancy

Many women think that they only need to start taking prenatal vitamins by the time they get pregnant and stop taking them after they have given birth. However, it is recommended that they should start a lot earlier than that. Women should be taking prenatal vitamins before and throughout pregnancy and should keep doing so while they are still breastfeeding.

Several key developmental milestones including the closure of neural tubes occur during the first few weeks of pregnancy, a period when most women do not even realize that they are pregnant. Furthermore, the reason why women need to continue taking the vitamins while they are breastfeeding is the fact that vitamins can be passed to the baby through breast milk. This means that if you neglect to take prenatal vitamins during these stages, you are having your child miss out on essential vitamins during key developmental stages of their life.

You Will Not Need to Worry about Your Diet When You’re Taking Prenatal Vitamins

Untrue, most definitely, as prenatal vitamins are intended for healthy childbearing and are not meant to cover your entire daily vitamin needs. It is also known that some vitamins are best absorbed into your system through food. Furthermore, a healthy diet can help pregnant women maintain a healthy weight such that their bodies can easily support their child’s rapid growth while looking good in sexy pregnancy outfits.

All Prenatal Vitamins Are The same But in Name

As ignorant as it sounds, it is surprising that many women adhere to this myth. This, of course, is completely untrue. There are certainly variations between different brands, and although the variations may tend to be slight, different prenatal vitamins may provide different doses of nutrients.

It is thus advised that women taking prenatal vitamins should check the key ingredients of the vitamins that they are taking or are planning to take, and should look out for these key ingredients and their recommended dosages:

  • Calcium (1,000-1,300 milligrams)
  • Folic acid (400-800 micrograms)
  • Iodine (150-220 micrograms)
  • Iron (27 milligrams)
  • Vitamin D (15 micrograms or 600 international units)

Prenatal Vitamins Will Make You Feel Healthy and Energetic

Vitamins promote better health through the beneficial nutrients that they contain, but in the case of prenatal vitamins, you will not feel the effects. It is also well-known that they will not make you feel energetic and strong, but in fact, will do the opposite. These vitamins will typically make you sick, with nausea and constipation as their common side effects.

That said, we recommend that you take steps to alleviate these side effect should they start to kick in. Take your vitamins with food or before you hit the sack. You should also drink water and stay as active as allowed.

Should you find the negative side effects persistent and unbearable, talk about it with your doctor. They will provide you with helpful advice with regards to dealing with those effects, and will perhaps recommend a different brand for you. You may also safely try another brand yourself and see if your body finds more bearable than the vitamin you’ve previously used.

A Multivitamin Has Everything You Need

Multivitamins certainly may have the nutrients that you need for a healthy pregnancy, but they likely do not have those in the right dosages and certainly are no substitutes to actual prenatal vitamins. For instance, multivitamins typically do not contain any Omega-3 fatty acid like DHA or EPA. This particular ingredient promotes the development of a fetus’ brain and is very important in the early weeks of pregnancy.

If you are keen on taking multivitamins, it is recommended that you have your doctor look at it first before you start taking it on your own accord. Should you get the green light for it and the multivitamin does not contain Omega-3, be sure to talk to your doctor and get their advice on what you should eat to make up for this lack.

Doctors will typically advise that you eat seafood, particularly fish and shellfish, and will recommend a specific dosage of these products, as well as the kind of seafood that you should be eating. Some fish and shellfish species do contain unhealthy levels of mercury that can negatively affect your health and your child’s brain development, so knowing what you should and should not eat is extremely important.

We chose this specific model as it is one of the most reviewed products and a product that quite sells a lot so we thought that it is a good idea to discuss the product especially for the readers who are curious and would like to know about Butterfly Garden.

Our last article was about Papasan Cradle Swing – Butterfly Garden Swing by Fisher-Price, we decided to review a product which is very much related to it. We chose to review Mocha Butterfly Swing by Fisher Price, it is under the same line of Papasan Cradle. We believe that it is the logical thing to do and go to this route and discuss a similar product so that our readers can have a better grip when they are faced with similar almost identical products that are currently been offered in the market.

3. Fisher-Price My Little Lamb Cradle ‘n Swing Review

My Little Lamb fisher priceThis is part of the series of reviews for different types of swings that we chose to give emphasis and focus on. We hope that by having this article together with the previous ones as well as the next posts will be a great help in aiding our readers to find the right swing for them.

Our last article was about Papasan Cradle Swing – Mocha Butterfly by Fisher Price, since we have discussed two Papasan cradle swings already we decided to discuss a new kind of swing but with the same manufacturer so we can have some comparison to see what else they are offering. We chose to review My Little Lamb Cradle ‘n Swing. This is also a good rated swing so we want to analyze and give our own review.

We believe that it is the logical thing to do and go to this route and discuss a similar product so that our readers can have a better grip when they are faced with similar almost identical products that are currently been offered in the market.

Just like the Butterfly Garden and the Mocha Butterfly garden swing, My Little Lamb Cradle ‘n Swing has a similar structure if you are just looking at the initial and overall comparison on structure among the three swings discussed. The only noticeable design is mostly the toys and color variation which is white, a more neutral color unlike the previous ones which is geared towards baby girls. The color scheme is more flexible when it comes to the gender of the baby.

Now, again, let us go down to the nitty-gritty details of My Little Lamb Cradle ‘n Swing just the previous ones:

Highlighted Features:

  • Swinging motion – It also has two swinging motions that relax and soothes baby. It moves from side to side as well as the traditional head to toe swing motion which is common to most if not all the current swings out in the market. This is also the same as the two previous swings discussed from Fisher Price.
  • Swing speed – It also has 6 swing speed offering, the average speed offering.
  • It has a motorized mobile with mirror globe with the overhead lamb plushes show to entertain the baby. Looking at the usual swings in the market, it is at par with swings which have motorized mobile toys.
  • It also has two-position recline with 3 adjustable seat positions: right-facing, center, left-facing. This is also an industry standard and it is always good to meet the benchmark on the market.
  • Plush toys, deluxe fabrics, and removable infant support cradle are all machine washable. This makes the swing more easily to clean and to be disinfected. Again, we cannot emphasize more that sanitation especially for babies as they still have a weak immune system. It is important to as much as possible avoid any bacteria or germs build upon the things which they are exposed with most of the time just the like the swing or cradle.
  • It also has a toy mobile, snack tray, and mirror.
  • It has a 2-point harness security feature which we think is good as it makes the swing safer.
  • It also includes 120-volt AC adapter for battery-free operation or requires 4 D (LR20) 1.5 V alkaline batteries for battery operated. This is a good option, for example, you want to place your swing outdoors, it is can operate effectively with the use of batteries and if you just use it at home, plugging it in will definitely save on the cost of battery usage or replacement.

Other features are very much quite like the Butterfly garden, it is easy to assemble and fold as the legs are foldable and can be easily moved from one place to another making it very much portable and can be stocked easily. The maximum weight limit is also around 25 lbs. The material or the frame is made of polyester but it also has some parts which are made of metal and plastic. Unlike the Papasan swings discussed earlier with 16 songs, it has a limited songs offering of only 8. Personally, we think that song choice is not that important especially to babies who might be willing to be familiar with 3-4 songs on repeat.

4. Fisher-Price Woodland Friends Cradle ‘n Swing Review

This is part of the series of reviews for different types of swings that we chose to give emphasis and focus on. We hope that by having this article together with the previous ones as well as the next posts will be a great help in aiding our readers to find the right swing for them.
Our last article was about My Little Lamb Cradle ‘n Swing by Fisher-Price, we thought of discussing one last Fisher Price product before moving and reviewing products from other manufacturers. Woodland Friends are quite similar to the first 3 swings previously discussed with a few variations of its features. First, its design is geared towards baby boys. The color combination is green with the outline of white and gray.
Now, again, let us go down to the nitty-gritty details of My Little Lamb Cradle ‘n Swing just the previous ones:

Highlighted Features:

  • Swinging motion – It also has two swinging motions that relax and soothes baby. It moves from side to side as well as the traditional head to toe swing motion which is common to most if not all the current swings out in the market. This is also the same as the three previous swings discussed all from Fisher Price.
  • Swing speed – It also has 6 swing speed offering, the average speed offering. It is said to have Smart Swing Technology to have customized swings for the baby.
  • It has a motorized mobile with mirror globe with the overhead owl decals to entertain the baby. Looking at the usual swings in the market, it is at par with swings which have motorized mobile toys.
  • It also has two-position recline with 3 adjustable seat positions: right-facing, center, left-facing. This is also an industry standard and it is always good to meet the benchmark on the market.
  • Plush toys, deluxe fabrics and removable seat pad are all machines washable. This makes the swing more easily to clean and to be disinfected. Again, we cannot emphasize more that sanitation especially for babies as they still have a weak immune system. It is important to as much as possible avoid any bacteria or germs build upon the things which they are exposed with most of the time just the like the swing or cradle.
  • It has a 5-point adjustable harness security feature which we think is good as it makes the swing safer. We can say that it has better harness security than the first 3 swings discussed earlier. If safety is your main concern, this swing is definitely much safer than the rest if we will base it on the harness.
  • It also includes 120-volt AC adapter for battery-free operation or requires 4 D (LR20) 1.5 V alkaline batteries for battery operated. This is a good option, for example, you want to place your swing outdoors, it is can operate effectively with the use of batteries and if you just use it at home, plugging it in will definitely save on the cost of battery usage or replacement.

Other features are very much quite like the 3 previous swings discussed, it is easy to assemble and fold as the legs are foldable and can be easily moved from one place to another making it very much portable and can be stocked easily. The maximum weight limit is also around 25 lbs. The material or the frame is made of polyester but it also has some parts which are made of metal and plastic. Just like the Papasan swings discussed earlier, it also has 16 songs which give variety to the songs you want to play with the baby.

5. Disney Minnie Mouse Garden Delights Swing Review

This is part of the series of reviews for different types of swings that we chose to give emphasis and focus on. We hope that by having this article together with the previous ones as well as the next posts will be a great help in aiding our readers to find the right swing for them.

Now, we know that we discussed 4 swings from the same manufacturer and we taught of changing it up a bit and discuss a swing which is not from Fisher Price. We chose a manufacturer which has an excellent brand equity especially for kids, it is no other than Disney. Disney is a strong brand for kids and it is no wonder that they have expanded their business by tapping into the different baby and kid products with their famous characters.

Obviously, as the name of the swing suggests, Minnie Mouse is the character on the design of the swing, following this, the swing is geared towards baby girls. It has a strong pink color scheme with accents of Minnie Mouse.

Now, the most important part, we again check and review the product specifications:

Highlighted Features:

  • Swinging motion – It has 3 swing positions, the previous swings we discussed only have 2 swing positions. It also rotates 180 degrees to lock the 3 swings positions.
  • Swing speed – It also has 6 swing speed offering, the average speed offering. It is said to have TrueSpeed Technology to have customized swings for the baby.
  • It has timer settings which makes you customize and fine-tune settings with your preferences. You can set it for 30, 45 or 60 minutes. Additionally, it has a WhisperQuiet operation technology which is said to ensure that the swing is noise free and the baby will never be disturbed by the operation of the swing.
  • It has a motorized mobile with mirror globe with the overhead plush toys to entertain the baby. Looking at the usual swings in the market, it is at par with swings which have motorized mobile toys.
  • The seat pad is also machine washable. This makes the swing more easily to clean and to be disinfected. This is the same with the ones that are manufactured by Fisher Price. Again, we cannot emphasize more that sanitation especially for babies as they still have a weak immune system. It is important to as much as possible avoid any bacteria or germs build upon the things which they are exposed with most of the time just the like the swing or cradle.
  • It also has a safety lock, 5 point harness, which We think is better than the ones with only 3 point ones discussed earlier.
  • It also includes an AC adapter for battery-free operation or requires 4 D (LR20) 1.5 V alkaline batteries for battery operated. This is a good option, for example, you want to place your swing outdoors, it is can operate effectively with the use of batteries and if you just use it at home, plugging it in will definitely save on the cost of battery usage or replacement.
  • Music can be played for 20 minutes non-stop with volume control and auto-shut off.

Other features are very much quite like the 4 previous swings discussed, it is easy to assemble and fold as the legs are foldable and can be easily moved from one place to another making it very much portable and can be stocked easily. The maximum weight limit is also around 25 lbs. The material or the frame is made of polyester but it also has some parts which are made of metal and plastic.
Just a word of caution, it seems that this swing is really superior to the first 4 swings discussed. However, if we look at the reviews on Amazon, it is not that great in fact a bit lower than the Fisher Price swings discussed earlier.

6. Fisher-Price Cradle ‘n Swing, Coral Floral Review

This is part of the series of reviews for different types of swings that we chose to give emphasis and focus on. We hope that by having this article together with the previous ones as well as the next posts will be a great help in aiding our readers to find the right swing for them.

We decided to discuss about Fisher-Price’s Cradle ‘n Swing, Coral Floral.
Just like the ones mentioned before, Coral Floral Cradle ‘n Swing has similar features and structures from the previous products we featured from the same manufacturer. We are also assured of its quality and durability. One thing that is evident is that it might look small and more cushioned unlike the ones previously discussed so if the customers might like a more cushioned swing, this may be a good option for them. The design typically is geared towards baby girls with its pink accents but we love the white backdrop of the swing which makes it pop and looks classy and likable.
Once again, let us go down to the most important part, highlighting the features of Coral Floral Cradle n’Swing by Fisher Price:

  • Swinging motion – It also has two swinging motions that relax and soothes baby. It moves from side to side as well as the traditional head to toe swing motion which is common to most if not all the current swings out in the market. This is also the same as the two previous swings discussed from Fisher Price.
  • Swing speed – It also has 6 swing speed offering, the average speed offering.

  • It has a tailored canopy which is an ideal background for the mobile’s starry light show.

Another consideration in buying a swing is the durability. The more features it has, the higher the risk of it being broken or malfunctioned, so it is essential to consider that in buying a swing.

More importantly, ensuring that the safety of your baby. The safety of your baby will always be the primary concerns of every parent, that is why ensuring the durability of the swing is important and should never be taken for granted.

It is important to note however that the key to a good quality swings is not just about the price, but you can consider the value and quality. Look for branded swings which are on sale; they are usually the ones that have 1 or 2 less auxiliary features (which sometimes, you don’t need at all) which can be a good deal.

Why do you need to purchase a baby swing?

Baby swings are good baby equipment that is why this is a must-have for every household that has a baby on it.

Again, know your manufacturers, in choosing the best swings out there, we recommend that you should take into consideration the manufacturers who made the swings that you will buy.

After which, choose from the wide array of products that your chosen manufacturer has. Take note the specifications of the swing, the size, weight, and features of the swing as they are vital features that are needed to be considered. Check if the size of the swing is just enough for your baby, not too big but also not to small. Check the harness if it is sturdy to hold the baby, we cannot emphasize the importance of this one, as it is the one that holds the baby to safety.

Additional Important Details to Consider

Always follow the manual or user guide for the product. Know the parts and functions of each of the parts of the swing so that you will be familiar with it and will have a breeze assembling and putting the swing up. It is also essential that you know the different parts of troubleshooting or fixing, repairing minor damages or malfunctions of the swing.

Be Familiar with the essential features baby swings usually have they are the following:

The swinging motion – all baby swings also have this feature for obvious reasons, what you need to consider is the speed adjustment and the swing direction as well as if has a timer feature.

Next important part os the Frame – Base for support is the most important to look at. Note that the wider the base, the harder for the swing to tip over. Also, be mindful and check if the legs protrude too far away as it may cause accidents to you or your baby. Next is frame material – safety and support also depend on the actual metal used, always remember that metal materials are much sturdier and durable than plastic ones who tend to be more brittle. Last to consider in the base is foldability, this is an optional feature which may or may be present to a swing, remembers that locks in foldable swings in the base are essential to secure the swing.

Early Signs Of Pregnancy & Losing Weight After Pregnancy

pregnancy and weight

You could be fortunate. I was – only once.

When my middle daughter was born, I actually weighed ten pounds less than I had when I had conceived her.

That’s not something you can rely on, though, and I can tell you that from experience too. Nearly all women begin their lives as a new mother with an extra 8 to 15 pounds that they didn’t have pre-baby.

There’s a really good reason for that. God made our bodies with nurture in mind. A part of that weight which you put on during pregnancy was meant to nurture your baby Soon after birth. While your body demands an extra 300 calories each day to sustain with the nutritional demands of your baby during pregnancy, a breastfeeding mother requires a minimum of 500 extra calories each day to make sufficient milk and remain healthy. Your body stores up a little extra nutrition for after the birth in case there isn’t enough food for its needs when it is time to feed the new little critter.

If you’re breastfeeding, that’s part of the good news. You’ll automatically be burning an extra five hundred calories each day – which will make it significantly easier for you to shed the extra weight. In fact, you may not need to do anything special at all to lose weight. Just focus on eating a regular, healthy, well-balanced diet you’ll be looking good in the sexy maternity dresses you invested in while you were pregnant.

If you’re not breastfeeding, you won’t see it quite as easy. Your focus should still be on healthy eating, with moderate exercise to burn additional calories.

Here’s more good news for new mothers. Exercising is easier. Actually, that’s not quite right. Burning more calories is easier. Walking solely for one hour burns 200 calories. Walking while pushing a stroller ups that figure substantially. Push a stroller uphill, and it’s even higher. You will get additional duty out of things you in no way thought of like lifting the stroller and car seat in and out of the car, carrying the baby up and down stairs and simply plain carrying the infant.

Still. If you find yourself with persistent pounds that simply will not come off, exercise along with a moderate reduction in calories is the way to go. Much like pregnancy is not the time for weight loss, just after pregnancy is not the time to stress your body further with severe dietary restrictions. Aim for losing around a pound per week, though chances are you will find it coming off quicker than that.

Being a mom is a high-energy proposition!

Don’t Miss These Three Morning Sickness Symptom Remedies!

If you suffer from morning sickness, you are probably hoping that there are ways to cure your vomiting and nausea. While you are probably comforted by the knowledge that morning sickness rarely lasts past the third month of pregnancy, you could still benefit from something that will help you now.

These are some things that you can do to treat your morning sickness symptoms.

Exercise on pregnancy is one of those remedies for morning sickness that you’d actually think would make the matter worse not only do you feel better but look good in one of your sexy maternity dresses.

One of the best ways to naturally get rid of morning sickness symptoms is by using ginger. Ginger is known all over the globe, and especially in Asian countries, as one of the best ways to alleviate stomach and digestive problems. It’s especially effective for symptoms of nausea, which is why it’s recommended for motion sickness, and of course morning sickness.

You can use ginger lots of ways, but the most common include ginger ale, ginger teas, and some people even put fresh ginger on their foods. Did you know that tea made by putting fresh ginger in boiling water will make a stronger tea than any tea you buy at the store? Only use all natural ginger ales if you’re going to drink that for your morning sickness.

But you can’t go wrong by using fresh ginger on a cheese grater over the foods you like to eat. These are all extremely effective morning sickness cures. Let’s just say that you don’t feel like training for a triathlon when you’re pregnant, am I right? On the other hand, exercise is great for making you healthier during this important time, and it will also help with your morning sickness symptoms.

Many gyms across the country host exercise classes strictly for pregnant women, so you might want to try those. Yoga is another exercise that’s great for pregnant women because it teaches you breath control, stretching and relaxation and it’s very low impact. If a class is out of the question, you can always just head outside for a nice peaceful walk.

Sure, you’re not supposed to move around too much when you’re pregnant, but a little exercise will actually help you alleviate some of the discomfort associated with morning sickness.

You can reduce your morning sickness symptoms by going with healthy eating tips avoiding some foods and eating more of others. Certain specific foods like those that are fatty and deep fried should be eaten sparingly because they will make your morning sickness worse. Bland foods, on the other hand, like toast, cereal and crackers (especially whole grain foods) can help you feel better. Yogurt, if it isn’t pre-sweetened, is a food that can also help you feel better.

Eating many small meals throughout the day is better than eating just a few bigger ones

You should watch what you eat so that you can figure out which foods worsen your morning sickness symptoms so that you can avoid them. It is true that you need to get lots of rest while you are pregnant; it is true that resting can help you work through your morning sickness symptoms; it is also true that lying down right after eating can set off a morning sickness attack.

One of the most effective remedies for morning sickness symptoms is acupuncture. While not everyone has faith in acupuncture, modern western medicine is placing more and more trust in using it as a treatment for lots of different problems.

The Chinese have used acupuncture for thousands of years and while it isn’t clear about its ability to cure things, it is quite helpful in reducing symptoms. Even though acupuncture needles are not painful, many people are afraid of them; if you are one of those people, consider looking into acupressure and reflexology which use pressure and touching instead of needles.

You can either seek treatment from a professional or learn how to practice acupressure on your own pressure points.

Each tip in this article works as a morning sickness remedy.

In conclusion, while some discomfort is normal during pregnancy, treating some of them (like morning sickness) is easy. If you learn to watch your diet, rest when you need to and apply the above remedies, you can minimize the discomfort of morning sickness.

If you are open to the thought of using traditional junk foods as a morning sickness remedy, you may want to open up a bag of salt and vinegar potato chips.

This can probably be quite useful, though you can get the same impact from other food safety and quality. Saltine crackers have always been recommended for curing morning sickness because foods with salt generally can be quite helpful. Raw apple cider vinegar is a good remedy for many illnesses and if you drink some in a cup of water in the morning, this may stop you from getting sick.

If you find this helpful, you may want to repeat this several times per day, including right before bed. So salt and vinegar are two generic but reliable morning sickness remedies, whether you eat them together in a chip or individually on something else.
