How to wean a toddler from bottle feeding

By -

Bottle feeding a baby is a time-consuming and stressful task. You must monitor your milk production, your baby's feeding schedule, and other factors. Once you start weaning your toddler from the bottle, it can be equally as stressful—but for very different reasons! Some mothers feel bad about denying their toddlers something they adore so much, while others worry that if a bottle isn't around at all times, their children won't get enough food or liquids. What if, then, I could prove to you that things don't have to be this way? That there are actually ways to help you through the process? Be consistent While consistency is important for all aspects of parenting, it's especially important when weaning a toddler from bottle feeding. While your child may be ready to make the transition, she might not want to let go of her beloved bottle—and that's okay! Be patient and don't give up hope if it takes your child a few days or weeks to adjust. The easiest

Once Upon A Time….

Do you know that it’s healthy to tell stories about your childhood days experiences aside from the traditional bedtime stories (Pinocchio, Rapunzel, Peter Pan, etc.) we tell or read our children before they go to sleep at night?

I discovered it as one of the very effective ways of instilling good values in their young minds as well as a way of informing them of our family history.  My experiences in the past when I was still a kid not only interest my children but it created more bonding relationship between me and my kids.


I did it not do it for the sake of generation comparison, for I enjoy reminiscing my childhood days too. At first, I thought they will not be interested, but to my surprise, they were the ones asking me to tell them more about my past as a kid. 

As we all know, today’s generation has more sophisticated lifestyle. They were born on the era of the cyber age.  Their interest/life perception today and our interest/life perception of yesterday were miles apart.  

They do not know who is Pepe, Pilar and Bantay (My first reading book in my preschool years, (lol). They have not tasted the Nutriban (the nutritious bread given free in schools before).  How I got this big scar on my knee, when I fell from a guava tree. How our mothers will call us before if we need to get back in the house, it only takes one whistle or a shout at the top of her voice for us to hear, because there were no cell phones yet during those times. We do not go far in playing outside, so that we could hear if mother or father is calling us.  I also tell them stories about our parents’ way of discipline, house rules, our do’s and don’ts.  Well, these are only some of my stories I tell them. 

My children are now 21 and 11 years of age, old enough for bedtime stories, yet there are times that they still ask me to tell more J

Cleaning 101: Declogging drains

Clogged drains are typically easy to fix, as we can unclog it physically, chemically or a combination of both.   However, it usually depends on the nature and extent of the problem so before calling on an experience plumber in parramatta , here are some tips that you may try to uncork that clog. The kitchen sink is most often clogged with fats, grease and oils, unplug or remove the strainer, as grease accumulate around the strainer in the sink. Remove and wash away anything that has collected around it. You may also use liquid sosa or liquid lye, just pour it straight then wait for 10 minutes before flushing it with tap water.   Better yet pour in the chemical at night before going to sleep when nobody will use the kitchen sink anymore. Flush it with water the next morning.
