Does Your Toddler Bite and How Do You Handle It?

42-20901121

Yup. Here’s a question for you guys. Do you ever get complaints from parents about your preschooler biting their kids? Has your child ever left a tooth mark on you?

Kinetosis, or, in simpler words – motion sickness or travel sickness – is basically a disagreement between your sense of movement (detected by the vestibular system) and the perception of movement.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a recall of ring slings produced by a Texas based company Sprout Stuff. The recall was announced to the public following a death of a 10-day-old infant that died through suffocation back in 2007. The sling recall is yet another one in the series of massive sling [...]

For the many parents whose children are (unfortunately) suffering from allergies, there might be a solution or at least a relief: organic baby clothing and organic bedding.
