Co-sleeping with your infant and toddler

I don't think it is a great idea to keep your infant in you bed, here is why:

1. Right away you teach her that your bed is her bed and that is not true, she has her crib. That's why you bought it.  

2. I 100% support co-sleeping if you fell asleep during breastfeeding, it is the best feeling on earth, but if you finished breastfeeding and your infant is asleep and you are awake, put her in her crib.

Minerals your baby needs

Your baby needs the best of the best! I believe in fresh, home-made meals for your whole family. I believe your baby must eat: fruits, vegetables, meats, fish and bread.

1. Calcium helps with develop stronger bones, teeth, nerves and muscles. Drink milk, eat cheese, butter and yogurt. 

2. Iron is good for red blood cells, muscle function, white blood cells and your baby's immune system. Great source of iron is lean red meat, fish, egg yolks, nuts, wholewheat and green leafy vegetables. 

3. Magnesium if good for converting energy from foods, cell repair, building strong bones, teeth and muscles. Magnesium also helps to regulate body temperature. Magnesium can be found in: wholegrains, nuts and green leafy vegetables.

Breastfeeding: Highlights

1. You have to be in a calm, preferably sound free environment: living room, bedroom, a bench in the park, or a quiet table at the restaurant.
2. Do not search the web, text nor watch a movie. Be with your baby! 

3. I would not even recommend talking to anybody either. Listen to your baby, it is a very unique moment that will be in your life for only one year.
