What foods should be avoided during pregnancy?
Fish rich in mercury - Such fish are usually found in polluted water. Mercury is a toxic element and concentrated amounts of this can prove to be dangerous for the nervous system, immune system and kidneys. Some examples of high-mercury fish include shark, swordfish, king mackerel and tuna.
•Undercooked or raw meat - Eating meat that has not been cooked properly increases the risks of various bacterial and parasitic infections. This can prove to be quite harmful to the baby and also increase the risks of stillbirth, neurological problems, blindness, epilepsy etc. You should also avoid eating processed meat unless it has been heated properly.
•Raw eggs - Avoid food products like salad dressings, homemade ice-cream, homemade mayonnaise, poached eggs etc that contain raw eggs. There are significant risks of raw eggs being contaminated with Salmonella. The infection only affects the mother; however, it can lead to complications during childbirth leading to premature or stillbirth.
•Caffeine - The caffeine you take very easily passes into the placenta and fetus. Since the growing child does not have the enzymes to metabolize this caffeine, it starts building up in unhealthy quantities, thereby hindering fetal growth and development.

Can i bring food and baby bottles with me on the plane
I recently flew with my daughter and 13 month old grandson. At at least one of the airports (maybe both, can't remember) they were directed to a separate "family" security line - which was faster than the regular line. Milk, juice, formula, baby food, etc. is allowed in quantities greater than the 3 oz limit for other liquids. Also, they allow ice packs for keeping these products cold. Be sure to take plenty. They generally don't have milk available on the airplanes, we wished we had brought more. Also, take plenty of bottles/cups with you because there is no convenient way to wash them while traveling. I also suggest some empty plastic bags, for discarding dirty diapers or enclosing used bottles/cups that may have some liquid left in them. Good luck with your travels and you can also see this link for excellent information from TSA about traveling with children https://www.tsa.gov/travel/special-procedures/traveling-children
My Pal Scout needs replacement battery spring..
Hi,
I would perform a test use of the spring before purchasing it to reach this conclusion. You can call ahead to several part stores that you've identified to carry the spring and request if test use is possible. Then, work with the stores that say "yes". Thank you.

I feel REALLY down, I Am Never Going To Get A Baby Girl?
Other
people would say, it does not matter what gender your baby will be and
that is a natural reaction but to some, this is a serious concern. Stop
worrying, Gender Selection Clinic
is the solution to your problem if you are really serious about it.
Technology and science have made it possible for people to get pregnant
and to choose the gender of their kids. The embryo gender selection IVF
is being performed by medical doctors around the world. This system has
been proven for decades. The success rate of having a girl is 93%. This
method though is a bit expensive but if you really want it, then the
cost would not be a problem to you. Both you and your husband must have
an open mind on this. Otherwise, it will create misunderstanding between
the two of you.

Is it dangerous to wear the wrong size of nursing bras?
Usually a woman's breasts engorge very quickly after giving birth and take a few weeks to gain a stable size, usually one size bigger than what she had before giving birth.Because of the quick and unpredictable extent of ****** growth some women end up wearing the wrong bra size, and while wearing a bigger size may just turn out to be uncomfortable, wearing a smaller bra size while breastfeeding may reduce their milk supply and cause a painful infections called mastitis.

How do they work
The basic loop is simple:
Feed
Burp
Change diaper
Get to sleep
Repeat
Then you need to work in a "change clothes" subroutine, which runs once/day, or when the outfit is filthy.
But while that loop is running, you need to frequently:
Maintain eye contact
Smile
Talk (content not important; babies hear high pitches better)
Play (Peek-a-boo works with a wide range of ages, but basically any repetitive action delivered with a smile will amuse a baby)
And snuggling. Lots and lots of snuggling.
