There is nothing more fun then shopping for newborn toys. They are so cute, but yet so expensive so you really need to know what to buy and what not to buy.

Toys for infants should expose them to the wonders of sight, sound and touch. Shape, size, texture and of course taste also come into the equation. Bright toys and light toys work best. Rattles and squishy toys work best for this. It also teaches the infant to grab and hold onto things.

When the infant can start sitting up, blocks and stacking rings work well. Anything that encourages the baby to walk is great, like push toys.

Alcohol consumption by women is a relatively new phenomenon. A couple of decades ago, most women did not take alcohol regularly. The scientific community has been shocked recently to witness the birth of babies with severe growth retardation, a small brain, small and narrow eyes and an overall permanent development retardation.

Firstly we need to establish what the term ‘colic’ means. Colic is the term given to the build up of gases in babies causing pain and discomfort. It is not an illness or a serious medical condition; it is however, very draining for both mother and baby.

The main symptom of colic is usually constant crying for no apparent reason. For example your baby won’t be hungry, need their nappy changed or have a temperature, they will not want to be laid down, sat up, played with or left alone. Nothing you do will ease their crying. Most babies have a colicky time of day, which is usually in the afternoon or early evening. The good news is that colic normally passes by the age of 3-4 months.
