When your baby is sitting up confidently on his own, it means he's ready to join you at the dinner table in his own chair - a highchair. It's a great step forward for all of you because it means you can continue eating while feeding your baby, and he can join the family at the dinner table. We asked our testers Deborah and Rebecca to put six highchairs to the test, to find out which had the most useful features and which were best value for money. The scores were close for the highchairs tested, so we have two STAR BUYS for you on this feature - one wooden chair that you can continue to use as your child grows up, and one ordinary highchair.
Highchair know-how

我們是在六月24日第一次參加寶寶聚會的, 後來也因為一堆事情沒將這篇放上來
這個團體是在醫院輔導下成立的,固定每週二下午是寶寶俱樂部,其他白天時間是讓媽媽可以帶小朋友來做社交生活,還有托兒所
好不容易打點好大小姐出門可以做做社交的,沒想到她跟周公孫子去約會,一覺睡到快結束才醒來番; 不過因為年齡層很多,大家也都是交換帶孩子心得等等的,幾個比較有聯絡的媽媽還一起帶寶寶去游泳喔

Whether your child is sampling her very first taste of baby rice or tucking into spaghetti bolognese as only a toddler can, you'll need dinnerware and utensils designed for her specific needs. She'll need somewhere safe and comfortable (not to mention washable!) to sit while she's eating, too.
Plates and bowls

要特別補上這篇,因為 Monica 阿姨照了幾張漂亮的照片喔
一看就知道很開心了吧
到後來抓都抓不住,乾脆讓她躺在地上,隨她去了, " 人生 "能有幾回可以躺在地上讓狗玩呢 
真的非常驚訝這個四個半月的小傢伙, " 潛力 " 無限可能呀,以後可能會比為娘的更上一層樓啊,她爹有交待,凡是爹害怕的 ( 蜘蛛 ) 交由為娘的指導,訓誡 ( 不先告知她我們的恐懼怎麼行,萬一哪天拿來給我們 " 看 ",這不是謀殺爹娘嗎 ) 娘一定會昏倒的種類,例如所有軟體爬行動物,會由爹帶至博物館之類的,加強教育,訓誡 ( 她如果敢拿這個來要脅我,相信我,我一定會打她個半死,留半條命氣消了,再繼續打 )
蘭鈴很愛她的

這是七月五日錄下來的,因為不知如何上傳,就一直拖到現在才放上網誌;這個記錄也是最長的,因為接下來她就沒講到這麼多了,都是尖叫及怪聲音
其中有個很像巫婆的笑聲,很抱歉讓大家嚇到了,那是馬麻太興奮了,而且沒想到手機就這麼清楚的錄下來,請見諒

這是馬麻自己第一回開 " 長程 "車去找 Monica 阿姨,自己愛現走小路,中間轉錯紅綠燈,繞了好一大圈才找到阿姨家附近的超市,然後打電話給阿姨,請她出來帶路!!本以為這小妮子可能會有些害怕第一次接觸 " 大型 " 動物的,沒想到
她有為娘的真傳,一見狗就瘋了,有影片為證喔

我常說我是打不死的蟑螂,沒想到我們家出現了蟑螂精 
因為最近有點狀況 註, 她在四個月左右大就開始對我們吃的動作很有興趣,每次我們在吃東西時,她會睜大了眼睛一直看.... 我跟她爸就到超市研究了一番,買了四個月大寶寶用的米粉及麥粉,但沒詢問過專業人士,我們是沒那個種就給它試下去,小寶寶的腸胃是很敏感的呢

Babies use sucking to calm and settle themselves. Thumb-sucking starts before birth (there are pictures taken of babies sucking their thumbs in utero) and can be a very helpful way for babies to cope with tension. There are many advantages to allowing children to suck their thumbs rather than a dummy: Thumbs are always there, don't fall on the floor, aren't tied to children's clothing by potentially dangerous strings that can get caught on things, and are under the baby's own control.
Children usually give up thumb-sucking when they develop other ways to calm down and comfort themselves, usually by ages 4-5, although many children suck their thumbs at night or occasionally, when stresses become too much, for many years beyond that.

Breastfeeding in the first few days, weeks, and possibly months is 'fired' by prolactin, the milk-making hormone. It's this, together with the removal of milk by the baby, that stimulates your body to make milk. Most women find their breasts sometimes feel 'full' between feeds.
The prolactin levels gradually fall in the first six months after your baby's birth, and milk is made more directly in response to how often and how much your baby eats. In fact, studies have shown that prolactin levels are back to pre-pregnancy levels by the time your baby is six months old, yet it is perfectly possible to supply all the milk your baby needs, simply by feeding him. However, your breasts won't feel full, because the milk is being made more efficiently and more responsively, according to your baby's needs. You're not storing lots of 'extra' milk between feeds now that your body is relying on your baby's stimulus, rather than your hormones, to make milk.

The Department of Health recommends exclusive breastfeeding until your baby is six months old. After six months, breast milk alone doesn't provide your baby with enough nutrients, in particular iron, so other foods are needed.
Waiting until six months to introduce solid foods into your baby's diet will help minimise the risk of her developing adverse reactions to foods and allergies. This is particularly important if you have a family history of allergies, as the incidence of adverse food reactions, allergies and coeliac disease does decrease if you delay weaning until this time.

Getting your baby used to water early is important from a safety point of view and it's great fun too. "Your child won't be co-ordinated enough to learn to swim properly until he is two or three, but you can get him to feel confident and relaxed in the water and make swimming a fun way to exercise for both of you," says midwife and health visitor Julia Youll.
When can I start swimming with my baby?

As he enters this stage, your baby discovers how much fun his own hands can be now that they're no longer clenched in a fist. He can suck his fingers, and use them to grasp a toy that has been placed in his hands. He has begun to reach for toys. He soon learns to pass a toy back and forth between his hands and rotate his wrist to inspect it from all sides, usually before popping it into his mouth!
Make sure that all toys are safe for chewing -- check labels! And never attach a toy to a cot or playpen with elastic or string, which could end up strangling or entrapping your baby. By six months your baby can probably sit up, giving him a new perspective on life and making him the centre of his own clanging, colourful, ever-changing world.

雖然你無法改變寶寶的作息時間，或是讓生病的孩子不要在三更半夜醒來，但還是可以透過一些方法，讓僅有的少許睡眠時間可以睡得更好。以下是10個能夠改善你的睡眠品質的方法：
1.
傍晚以後，拒絕咖啡因、尼古丁與酒精。一杯午後咖啡或一根香菸，都可能影響你的睡眠，甚至讓你失眠1個小時以上，不要以為一、兩杯紅酒或啤酒沒有關係，那會讓你更睡不好。而且，咖啡因不是只有在咖啡或紅茶裡，巧克力、減肥藥、藥物或許多清涼飲料中，也都含有咖啡因喔！

許多都爸爸媽媽都以為，一定有一個可讓寶寶一覺到天亮的神奇辦法。如果可以了解那個竅門，那寶寶就可以快快睡著，而且一覺到天亮。很可惜，並沒有那樣的神奇妙招。教寶寶一覺到天亮的關鍵，就是維持一貫的態度與溫柔的耐心。

如果爸爸和媽媽白天都要工作，那麼晚上和寶寶一起睡，可以提供爸爸媽媽更多和寶寶共度的時光。晚上餵寶寶喝奶和那份親暱感，可以爲爸爸媽媽和寶寶建立更緊密的關係。

建立寶寶的睡前行為模式
所有養育寶寶的書籍都會提到，建立一套睡前行為模式是讓寶寶快快進入夢鄉的最佳策略。「我通常會建議三到四個妳每個晚上必做的一套舒緩活動，」美國費城醫院睡眠障礙中心副主任茱蒂敏黛，同時也是 《Sleeping Through The Night》這本書的作者，他表示，在某種程度上，睡前行為模式的活動內容固然重要，但堅持下去其實也一樣重要。爸爸媽媽可以用沐浴、按摩或說故事，作為寶寶的睡前行為模式。或者在每次小睡前以及晚上寶寶睡覺前，也可以餵寶寶吃奶、搖他幾分鐘再把他放到嬰兒床或搖籃裡，然後唱搖籃曲給他聽。「即使寶寶不認得時間，他們還是有生理時鐘的。讓寶寶在固定時間睡覺，就可以設定寶寶的生理時鐘，讓他們快快輕鬆入睡，」敏黛補充說道，「如果妳等了很久，還是無法把寶寶放下來睡覺，寶寶也會覺得累，同時會很難安靜下來，當然也不容易睡著囉！」
實用小妙招：

為什麼寶寶有固定的睡前行為模式，就能夠有好的夜間睡眠品質？
美國睡眠專家茱蒂敏黛表示：「如果你的寶寶知道自己接下來要做什麼，他會比較放鬆，寶寶越放鬆，就越容易上床睡覺，而且很快就睡著喔！」當你的寶寶6週或8週大時，妳就可以開始在每個晚上都用同樣的模式哄他睡覺；寶寶喜歡這樣的規律，這會讓他覺得很安心。妳可以自己決定要給寶寶一個怎麼樣的睡眠模式，可以是換睡衣、說故事、抱抱，或是玩一個靜態的遊戲，只要確定做這些事情可以幫助寶寶安靜下來。但是無論妳是在房間或客廳裡開始進行這些活動，最後一定要在寶寶的房間裡結束。要讓寶寶的房間成為一個他喜歡待的地方，而不只是睡覺的地方。你可以多花一點時間、多和寶寶互動或是抱抱他、親親他，讓寶寶喜歡整個就寢的過程，讓睡眠時間成為一個很愉悅的時光。如果他因為看見妳把他蓋好被被之後就離開，而覺得不安，這時候你可以告訴他：「等一下媽媽就會回來看妳睡了沒？」他很可能會在妳回來之前，就已經安心睡著了。

寶寶哭是無法避免的事情，因為這是他們和爸爸媽媽溝通的唯一方法。沒辦法知道寶寶為什麼哭，妳可能會很擔心，要怎麼知道寶寶需要什麼？剛開始這可能很困難，但是隨著照顧寶寶的經驗增加，妳會很快了解他的需要、他的暗示，以及如何安撫他情緒的方法。以下是寶寶哭泣常見的原因，當寶寶在哭的時候，試試以下方法，也許會有幫助喔！
