How to wean a toddler from bottle feeding

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

How to look after contact lenses

By -


Contact lenses are a godsend for anyone who ever needed their vision correcting but felt that there wasn’t a pair of glasses they wanted to wear – but they need to be looked after correctly, otherwise you’ll wish you’d simply taken the easier option. Cleaning and disinfecting contact lenses is a crucial part of their use – here are some tips on how to do it properly, efficiently and safely.

1. It’s not just about the cleaning and disinfecting of contact lenses when they’re not in use; you need to ensure that your hands, when applying them, have been thoroughly washed using soap or another disinfectant, and then towelled dry. You don’t want bacteria or residues from your cleaning products to linger on your hands and then be transferred, via contact lenses, to your eyes.


2. Take the advice of your optometrist or pharmacists on what specific disinfectant solutions should be used when cleaning your contact lenses, as different types of contact lenses require different types of care and cleaning product, and when applied in the wrong circumstances some may damage the fidelity of the contact lenses themselves.

3. When actually disinfecting your contact lenses, do it in a clean case, using fresh solution on each occasion.

4. Make sure that you also clean the case itself after use, using sterile solution or ideally hot distilled water – cold or lukewarm water should never come into contact with either your contact lenses or their case, as at that temperature it provides a medium for bacteria that will then be transferred to your eyes.

5. To physically clean the contact lens itself, rub its inside gently with your index finger in the palm of your hand to apply the cleaning solution, unless using one of the new No Rub solutions, in which case this is unnecessary.

You can buy your contact lenses and your disinfectant solution online, for example Contact Lenses Online by Getlenses.co.uk.

    Tap water is laden with chemicals and microbes.  Hot tap water (which is really never very hot) has more microbes and more chemicals (due to the water residence in the heating element).  They should NEVER be employed for contact lenses.

    I'm a contact lens user for more than 10 years now and it's get toxic maintaining one though once you get used to it, it gets easier,  It also requires that you maintain a clean area as it can be really annoying and harmful once dirt enters your eyes.

    I've been using contact lenses since 2nd year in high school, and it's definitely quite challenging to use and look after them for a newbie. Right now though, i've been so used to it already that I think I'm mishandling them when laziness kicks in. Anyway, thank you for this very timely reminder. I should take care of my contact lenses as I take care of my eyes :)

    I never used eye contacts, as in. I'm just too scared to put anything in my eyes. But I admire those who are really used to wearing it. Different colors, I love it.

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.
