Healthy Breastfeeding tips

We’ve all heard the debate. Breast Feeding vs Formula. But why do most people say breast feeding is the best for your baby? Because this natural mother’s milk is genetically the best food for your baby. This is the way GOD designed for things to work.

Want a more scientific reason? Okay, for one, the complex fats that are abundant in human breastmilk are vital to brain development and may have an effect on your baby’s intelligence as they grow older.


Breastfed babies are ten times less likely to be hospitalized with gastro-enteritis in the early months than babies who are fed formula.

Breastfed babies also gain immunities from a host of other infections.

Here are some terms you may not already know. “Foremilk” – the thinner milk that first comes from the breast when you begin feeding your baby. This is for quenching the baby’s initial thirst. “Hindmilk” – is the milk that comes later during the feeding of your baby. The hindmilk is much more filling and contains all the nutrients your baby needs to stay healthy.

Breastfed babies rarely need other drinks and supplements, because their mother has already given them what nature intended for them to have and need.

What’s in it for me as a Mom? There is nothing to compare the bonding and closeness with your baby that is caused by your choice to breastfeed. It is a great feeling to know that you are doing what is best for your baby.

Babies need to be close to their mothers. They need physical contact. Breastfeeding is one of the best types of physical contact you can have with your baby.

It’s also a whole lot easier than bottle-feeding! No feeds to mix, no bottles to warm or sterilize. Your breastmilk is always available, already sterile, and already just the right temperature for your baby.

Here is a real favorite among all women who breastfeed. Many women lose weight more easily after the birth if they choose breastfeeding over bottle feeding.

Another big issue is that there is evidence that breastfeeding reduces your risk for breast cancer.

What if I am having problems breastfeeding? Either your pediatrician can help you or there are breastfeeding counselors you can find in your area or online that can help you with any problems you may have.

If you have sore nipples or your baby isn’t getting enough milk, it may be your positioning. Your baby’s mouth should cover all of the areola, especially the part just under the areola. Sucking on just the nipple will keep the baby from getting enough milk and will make your nipples very sore. [thelaboroflove.com, 2011]

What Girls wants in a relationship...

1. Talk. Communication is key. If you are afraid to talk to the girl that you're dating, or if you'd rather do something else, you need to set some priorities. Ask her how her day was. You want her to listen to you, so you should listen to her--conversation is a two way street. # People love talking about themselves. Ask her about her dreams and hopes. It will make her feel like you care about her. Always ask her about school and her day as well.

2. Try to avoid asking lots of questions about where she's been and what she was doing. If they say "Be right back, I gotta go do something", it's usually best not to ask what she were doing, as it can make a girl feel annoyed.

3. Think before you speak! Try to keep things very very positive. If she's complaining about life, don't agree. Tell her she rocks and support her.

4. Compliments are excellent, but know that you should stop at the point where you're just listening to yourself talk. Girls know when you're sincere and when you're just blowing hot air. But, compliments never hurt anyone.

5. Nobody can write the definitive guide on dating! You need to experiment for yourself! Remember, romance is not always an easy thing.

6. Listen to what she has to say and pay attention.

7. Above all, take care of yourself. Keep your daily and lifelong goals in sight. Nothing turns off a woman faster than a man who chooses to accomplish nothing, even if all his attention is directed toward her.

8. Don't be obsessive. Give her some room. she doesnt need you to be hanging on her, she wants to be able to lean on you, not the other way around.

9. Don't cheat on her!! If you flirt with another girl, to make her 'jealous' then its not going to work, she'll think that you like them and might end up moving on. Not all girls get jealous the same way.

10. Make her friends like you, not love you. If they love you, she will think otherwise or something... Don't fall in love with her friends either! [wikihow, 2011]

Viber iphone app work better than skype???

Could the new Viber iPhone app actually work the way Skype should have? According to early reports… it’s far better than Skype mobile has ever thought of being. Viber brings free calling to your phone over 3G or WiFi to anyone anywhere in the world. The app costs as much as the actual calls do – nothing!

When you install Viber, the app syncs your phone’s contact list and shows you which of your friends are also using Viber. You can begin making calls instantly without having to register for anything or hold an account. Viber Media founder Talmon Marco says:

“Skype is modeled after a buddy list – you need a user ID and password, and in order to talk to someone you need to ‘add them’, get approved, etc. Viber, on the other hand, is modeled after a phone. So your ID is your phone number (authenticated via SMS) and you can call anyone, as long as you know their number.”

The coolest part about this app is that it does not have to be running in order to work. You can close the app completely – even removing it from your background services – and still receive calls. The user is sent a notification, a ringtone will sound, and as soon as you click “Answer” on the notification, the app is launched and a connection is made automatically! [chris.pirillo.com,2011]

Love cards from my parents...

My 1st wedding anniversary





My wedding day

My 1st wedding anniversary...

Wedding anniversary symbolizes how happy a couple is living together. More anniversaries mean a more successful marriage. Each anniversary is celebrated more enthusiastically. It is a time to rekindle the love between the couple. An anniversary becomes important to be celebrated when it makes the bond stronger and strengthen their relationship.

As all the wedding events are dependent on the region and its culture, anniversaries also depend on it. For example, in western traditions and cultures, first, fifth, tenth, fifteenth, twentieth, twenty fifth and so on, anniversaries are celebrated bountifully. But these occasions never go with strict, hard and fast rules. It is entirely a couple’s own choice how they wish to celebrate their anniversary.


As the wedding anniversary is an event of the couple solely, it should be planned and organized to focus the couple primarily, and to enhance their presence. The most romantic and recommended way of spending the time is to go out for a candle light dinner, or make some romantic arrangements at home for the dinner. It will bring the couple closer than ever before, and will give a chance to feel the presence and importance of each other in their lives, which might have been missed or overlooked in the past years. Romanticism does not end at a candle light dinner; there can be many other ways to celebrate the event in a romantic way. The theme should be romantic in all cases as this will enhance the beauty of the day.

A wedding anniversary reminds of a beautiful girl to the man, and of a handsome guy to the lady for whom they fell in love years back and proposed each other to live together as a wedded couple. [buzzle, 2011]
