The one thing every mother wants is for their baby to remain healthy. In order for that to happen using air purifiers for babies is one of the best ways to keep toxins from getting to your baby. Air purifiers purify the air of toxins, bacteria, and viruses that can make babies ill. Using one in your baby’s room will keep them healthy and save you a ton of worry.

When babies are born, their immune system as well as some of their organs such as the lungs is not at its strongest. Nursing helps keep their baby’s immune system strong enough to fight off many airborne pathogens (a product that can cause disease) that might otherwise make them sick. If you don’t nurse, then it leaves their little bodies open to these airborne pathogens such as bacterium, viruses, and particularly airborne items that can cause allergies or asthma.

Air purifiers for babies also eliminate dangerous smoke, pollen, mold spores, dust, and other air born viruses, bacteria, and carbons from the air. It helps babies start their lives healthier, especially if they are premature and their lungs have not fully developed. Even full turn babies may not have lungs and an immune system strong enough to fight off every bug that comes their way.

Using a pet dander air purifier cleans the air around them, so these bugs don’t get a chance to affect them. It also weeds out toxins from cleaning products, pollen that may enter the house, and other chemical residue in the air. Air purifiers give babies a fighting chance of health instead of being sick all the time. It also helps you since a healthy baby will sleep through the night and be happy instead of cranky.

It takes up to 6 months for a baby to develop a strong immune system to fight off airborne particles that can weaken their bodies. Using air purifiers for babies also provides a white noise so unexpected noises such as a dog barking or the door bell don’t wake them up while they nap.

The best way to use air purifiers for babies is to start using it a couple of weeks before the baby is born. It will eliminate the paint fumes and other air particles from the room before the baby arrives. They can be found for as little as $30 to over $200, but you get what you pay for with an air purifier. However, even the least expensive is better than not have anything to protect your baby. You’ll have a much happier and healthier baby when you purify the air.

If you’ve had a premature baby, you will know that people are hesitant to buy you any baby gifts, because people tend to be more pessimistic than optimistic about your baby’s future outcome. So even if friends and family have sent flowers and/or brought over food to your home, you still need to send them a thank you note. Even non-monetary gifts such as driving you to the hospital or babysitting siblings while you visit your baby in the NICU are worthy of a thank you, because time (and gas) is money, too. And it’s the thought that counts.

Want to make your thank you note even more special? Why not write personalized thank you poems? Using your baby’s name within the poem makes the poem unique to your situation. Customize the poem even more by adding the recipient’s name/s. This can be done easily using a computer program to simply find and replace names, which surely beats out handwriting all those thank you notes!

Once your baby is out of the NICU and the real baby gifts pour in, then you can send out real baby shower thank you notes to show your gratitude for the gifts. Don’t forget to include a photo of your bundle of joy!

Macy and Mallory were due for their annual eye exams this past week. We really like our eye doctor, but unfortunately his office doesn’t participate with our vision insurance, EyeMed (don’t get me started on my rant about insurance companies dictating what doctors we can and can’t see). Luckily, since the girls have a history of Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP), our medical insurance (Blue Cross Blue Shield) will cover the exams, and I only have to pay our $25 copay.

Of course, BCBS doesn’t cover the cost of eyeglasses or contact lenses, so me being the bargain shopper that I am asked for a written prescription of their powers and will turn to the internet to find some affordable eyeglasses and contact lenses. Macy’s vision has changed a bit, and the eye doctor suggested that she wear prescription eyeglasses while driving and while at school. Mallory’s vision has remained the same, but she still needs new contact lenses.

I plan to check out Zenni Optical, the #1 rated online eyeglasses store that offers complete $6.95 prescription eyeglasses plus is currently having a “Buy 2, Get 3rd pair free” promo! Virtually any prescription fashion eyeglasses and/or sunglasses, even bifocals and/or progressive eyeglasses, can be ordered online from Zenni Optical. You can even try on the frame online with their “Frame Fit” system.

If you are reading this article then you are probably searching for information with regard to jewelry for babies.

One of the recent fashion trends involves people buying custom keepsake jewelry for babies. Jewelry is often given as a present for births, baptisms, birthdays and baby showers.

There is a wide range of jewelry currently available for babies, you can choose from earrings to bracelets. However when shopping for jewelry for babies you should choose items that are pretty to look at but also safe to wear such as yellow diamonds.

One of the most important factors you need to keep in mind is the actual size of the jewelry, most adult jewelry, such as chocolate diamonds will be too large and therefore unsuitable for babies. However many retailers now have custom made jewelry which is designed specifically for toddlers and newborns.

Necklaces and Bracelets are available in very small sizes and they often come with an extender chain so the chain itself can be extended as your child grows.

Baby bracelets are now a very popular item, birthstone bracelets as well as sterling silver bracelets are both affordable and relatively easy to find.

However when shopping for jewelry for babies you must ensure that you select the right size. A four-inch bracelet is usually suitable for most newborns.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens.
All opinions are 100% mine.

My preemie twin daughters are going to be 18 years old this week! It is hard to believe that my little 2-lb. birdies will be considered adults soon! Even though my girls had just about every preemie complication go wrong that could go wrong as an infants, we were lucky that they were as healthy as they were growing up. Both girls are on multiple medications for health conditions now (Macy has OCD, and Mallory has Epilepsy), but neither diagnosis is attributed to prematurity.

With the rising costs of prescription medications, I am going to check into joining the Walgreens Prescription Savings Club.  For $10 a year, a family membership covers everyone in my immediate family, including my spouse (if I had one), my dependents ages 22 and younger (all four of them) and even my pets (if I had any of those, too)! Individuals can join for only $5 per year. Anyone can join the Prescription Savings Club membership risk free, and if one doesn’t save more money than the cost of the membership fees during one full year of their membership, then Walgreens will refund the difference!

This offer is available through January 31st, 2012. For more details, check out Walgreens on Facebook and/or Walgreens on Twitter.

Home birth is on the rise, and you need to know what a midwife does before you can choose one. A midwife’s function is to give care throughout your pregnancy and during the birthing process. They look after your health and the health of your baby. An Austin midwife service is one that will put emphasis on the health of the baby, mother, and the rest of the family. They can deliver premature babies, twins, and even triplets as well as normal births.

Midwife services are more than just being there when you baby is born. The best midwives take care of you from the very beginning of your pregnancy and continue long after the baby is born. They can help with the postpartum care and offer help caring for your baby from nursing to baby care. In Austin, midwife service offers help with family planning, reproductive care, and annual exams. They follow you through from the beginning of your pregnancy to the end and beyond.

The first thing you want to look for in a midwife service is their credentials. They should have at least one of the certifications from Lay Midwife, Certified Professional Midwife (CPM), and Certified Nurse-Midwife (CNM). They don’t need all of them but at least one. Of course, the finest recommendation is word of mouth, but do ask around to see what others say about them.

The second thing to look for is what services they offer. In Austin, midwife service covers a wide range of health care. They may come out to your house or have a birthing center to see to your needs. They do multiple births such as twins and triplets. They can teach you all the breathing techniques or Lamaze techniques you need for the upcoming birth. They cover diet, supplements, and exercise and other changes you’ll be going through such as lifestyle and emotional changes. They work with the whole family ensuring mental wellness for the family members as well as the baby.

Another thing to look for is the nature of a midwife. They should be a helping hand, not the ringleader. They aren’t doctors but good midwifes take you by the hand and walk you through the natural, biological birth process. They support you when labor begins and stay until the baby is born. After the baby is born they also help with nursing for the first time, how to care of the baby, and visit for several weeks or months (depending on your needs) after the baby is born.

Austin midwife service is trained to deal with single, twins, or triplet births as well as any complication that may come up. Their training covers the natural birth process in the normal sense, but they can deal with problems that come up along the way. If they can’t, they will direct you to the proper medical center. Don’t forget you can ask them any questions and find the answers to any problem.
