Baby Sleeping Problems and Its Solutions

by personmark
Baby sleeping problems are common during the first few moths after delivery as they are easily startled and have short sleep cycles – from light sleep to deep sleep and then back to light sleep again – which usually takes 50 to 60 minutes, therefore your baby normally wakes up every after an hour or even less. This is actually not a problem; rather, this is normal. However, baby sleeping problems may indicate a physical problem, which may prompt you to visit your pediatrician for a consultation. The Real Problems and the Solutions The inability of your baby to sleep well at night may be because of the environment –the noise, the smell, as well as the ambience matters! Babies are very sensitive beings. They may be unable to see or may be able to but not as clear as that of the adults, thereby allowing their other senses to work more keenly. If the environment does not have very good ventilation or does have a bad smell, the baby may not be able to sleep well, even adults for that matter! Also, if the surrounding is noisy, how will you be able to sleep, right? A very good environment conducive for sleeping must therefore be provided. Babies who are soaked wet with their diapers on are not able to sleep well. It is therefore right to check their diapers if it is full, making the babies feel uncomfortable. It is important to change them immediately in order not to disturb or cut short their sleep. There are also instances when babies get to feel too cold or too warm, making babies wake up in the middle of the night. The best thing to do is to provide warmth when she is cold, and to provide good ventilation if she feels warm. Simply put, just be there beside your baby during her sleep and make her feel comfortable all throughout the night. And more often than not, the reason why babies get to be awaken in the middle of the night is hunger. They have little tummies to fill their little amount of milk and food into, thereby making them feel hungry more often than adults. It is for this reason that feeding of the babies must be done every after 2 hours. Furthermore, babies may feel pain that is why they cannot sleep well during the night. If all of the above problems have been checked and nothing seems to satisfy the baby, maybe she is in pain. This should prompt you to visit your medical practitioner for consultation. Middle of the Night Awakening – A Survival Instinct of the Babies! There is also a good side on why babies awaken in the middle of the night. Since babies cannot communicate their needs yet, it is through waking up in the middle of the night and crying that they are able to deliver to you their message that they are either hungry, already soaked wet or feeling cold or warm. If they are not able to wake up in the middle of the night and not trouble you, how else would you know that they are hungry or that they needed something, right? Baby sleeping problems may not be problems at all but a message that your baby wanted you to receive. It is for this reason that you must rather be more thankful that your baby is trying to wake you up in the middle of the night than not at all! Your baby wanted to survive, so help her survive, not just through the night but through her entire life.

Gizzi's Coffee - Greenwich Village - New York, NY

by democrattotheend
I am endlessly on a quest to find a coffee shop that isn't packed with people I know/hate/more specifically avoid/make fun of and I found Gizzi's!! WHOOOO SOOOOOOOO it was super quaint and quiet, and it was really warm and a terrific place to study. There is a cool variety of people, so don't feel as if you don't fit in if you're not cool and hip like me (yeah ok).

Scott Brown on Why Some Memes Never Die | Magazine

by alphoenix
Now, getting nostalgic for a fin de Netscape time-waster is a new and disturbing sensation for me: Web content is designed to dissolve in your brain like dopamine Certs. Yet my Homestar bar stool still feels warm: Firing up the old URL, knit cap in hand, I’m suddenly back in the early Aughts, watching Strong Bad answer his email, kick the Cheat, his rhomboid accomplice, and dream up such memorable mini-memes as the majestic dragon Trogdor the Burninator — a Trapper Keeper-quality pencil doodle with a catchy metal theme song. (It ended up name-checked in the Buffy finale and eventually landed in Guitar Hero II.)

Bieke Depoorter, Belgium

by karlcow

‘For three periods of one month, I have let the Trans-Siberian train guide me alongside forgotten villages, from living room to living room. Some Russian words scribbled on a little piece of paper allowed me to be welcomed and absorbed in the warm chaos of a family. Accidental encounters led me to the places where I could sleep. The living room, the epicentre of their life, establishes an intimate contact between the Russian inhabitants. In this room, they sleep, eat and drink, as well as cry. For a brief moment, I was part of this. Their couch became my bed for one night. This way, I experienced transient, but very powerful, shared moments. We communicated without words. We understood each other somehow’.

four

by blackgoldfish
Today, my baby, you turn four. When did this happen? Was it not just yesterday that I had to put you inside my coat to keep you warm? Now look at you! Almost as tall as your sister with just as much spunk. Happy Birthday my punkin. What four is looking like so far: You pronounce your Rs as if you lived in Boston your whole life- A feather is a featheh. You sing from dawn to dusk- singsong monologues of your life. You eat a peanut butter sandwich every single day. You wake up hungry and must immediately eat a granola bar or your world collapses. You love coffee Your favorite color is blue You swing so high that I have to hold in my own concern because I see how much you need to do it. When you get mad, I suggest people step away, as you get a bit ferocious. You will brush my hair four an hour straight, and therefore I'll not ever cut it. You like to get your back lightly scratched, just like Mama. Happy Birthday, my sweet girl. Every day with you is a treasure and a surprise. I love you.

But, at 9PM, 10PM, or 3AM, you probably shouldn't be looking at the sun. f.lux F.lux fixes this: it makes the color of your computer's display adapt to the time of day, warm at night and like sunlight during the day. It's even possible that you're staying up too late because of your computer.

Sustainable Architecture in Japan - a greenhouse for a house! | Modern House Designs

by karlcow

Finally, a greenhouse which can also accommodate people: the Camouflage House. Why should we continue considering that greenhouses are suitable only for plants? It's not the case anymore. This house by Hiroshi Iguchi is part of the Fifth World project which aims to promote eco friendly, sustainable architecture. The house takes natural elements and blends them all into the design of the interior. Warm, natural materials are used. Wood for the floors, light, traditional Japanese panels for compartments and white canvas to protect the interior from excessive heat. Even more, some of the trees were literally incorporated into the house, by letting them grow up to the sky in between the walls of the house. The rooms just go around them, surrounding all four sides and making themselves one with the green environment. Living close to the heart of nature was never so well understood and put into practice. A Camouflage House by Hiroshi Iguchi? Yes, please!

Just craving for it… gosh

International Quilt Study Center & Museum : Making a Quilt

by sbrothier
What is a quilt ? A quilt is a layered textile composed of a decorative top, a warm filler called batting or wadding, and a pratical backing. The three layers are joined together by quilting stitches, or sometimes are held together with regularly spaced yarn or string ties.
