We find every child a cute child. We enjoy looking at the children, love playing with them and share their happiness and innocence with joy. Why?

Infant thrush - it's so common, and many pediatricians brush it off as no big deal. They may write you a prescription and send you on your way. Yet is infant thrush really so harmless after all? Extensive research done over the p 2 decades points to the fact that yeast overgrowth (and the conditions that lead to it) are quite serious indeed.

Other research shows that the exact same conditions that lead to yeast overgrowth leave a child vulnerable to other opportunistic infections as well - including chronic ear infections and even fatal...

By degrees, however, the water with which it is sponged in the morning should be made tepid, the evening bath being continued warm enough to be grateful to the...

Crawling develops power in the shoulders, arms, wrists, and hands. Have you heard or personally ever stated "My child skipped crawling and went straight to walking!" While walking skills may be advancing quickly, it is also a good indication that the child will have poor fine motor skills. Poor fine motor skills will impact a child's ability to fasten buttons, snaps, zippers, pick up small objects, and especially to have legible handwriting. As a child crawls, his/her grasp will start to mature, allowing for more precise movements later on in...
