Interesting Baby-Kangaroo

It is believed that a small child takes all your free time and a young mother often does not have time for herself, her beloved husband, household activities.
Recently in our country there were special backpacks for carrying the child. They are also called “kangaroo”. You can freely go about your business without leaving the baby alone. This backpack is very convenient for walking, when it is impossible to take a stroller, and especially for home use.
Basic rules
  • At first glance it seems that this situation is terribly inconvenient and even dangerous for kids. In fact, it is not. The child is in limbo that does not give an extra load on the spine.
  • In the West, several generations grew up in the backpacks. And, incidentally, they do not suffer from curvature of the spine.
  • In order not to cause harm to the baby, it is necessary to observe a few simple rules.
  • “Kangaroo” must comply with the child’s age.
  • The child must be held tightly to her mother, not a talker.
  • Belts should not rub baby’s skin.
  • You need constantly to check the reliability of the bindings.
  • Carring
  • There are several ways of carrying the child in “kangaroo”. Everything depends on the age of the child and what you are going to do.
  • Face. This method is suitable for very small children, during most of the time sleep. In this position, the baby will see your face and hear the heartbeat.
  • Back. When a baby is a little older, it will be much more interesting to look at the sides, than cling to your chest.
  • Face-to-back. In such situation it is much more convenient and safe to cook, iron, and do other household activities. Of course, in order to put the baby on your back, you need a certain skill.
  • Back to back. Personally, I like this method best. By using “kangaroo” in this way I could, without any distractions, sit at the computer.
  • How to choose a “kangaroo”?
  • From 0 to 3 months
  • These models are designed for newborns who are not yet able to hold their own head. These kangaroos are quite strong with a high back.
  • From 3 months to a year
  • They are smaller and have a soft back. They provide child with a freedom of movements.
  • Multifunctional from birth to a year
  • This kind of “kangaroos” are suitable both a newborn and older children. These models are sufficiently dense back with a detachable or folding top.
  • When purchasing you must pay attention to the following details.
  • Width of belts. They must be sufficiently broad and dense. Otherwise, under the weight of the baby belts will slide and rub your back.
Fasteners.
  • Fasteners must be fitted in such a way so that you yourself have to unbutton them.
  • The presence of pocket. Some models are equipped with a special pocket on the outside of the back. It is possibleto put a pacifier, napkin, rattle, everything that should always be at hand.
  • Possibility of regulation. Kid grows very quickly; you constantly have to adjust the straps. Adjusting straps should not take much time, because you will perform this process several times a day. Length of the belt depends on the amount of clothing on you, and from where you will be wearing a baby – front or rear. These elements must be small and do not rub the skin.
  • Material. It is better to give preference to easily washable fabrics.
  • Kids constantly regurgitate, and you have to regularly wash “kangaroo”.
  • By the way, fathers can also carry children in “kangaroos”. Many men really like it.
  • AdvantagesKid is constantly pressed to her mother and feels safe.
  • Child sees much more than lying in bed and it contributes to his/her development.
  • Mother will always have a great posture.
  • This is a good way to lose weight after giving birth.
  • Mother’s hands are free, and she can take care of business.
Disadvantages
  • The older the child, the greater the load on the mother’s back.
  • You must move with extreme carefulness.
  • When the baby is hungry, he begins to get nervous, because he is very close to the breasts, but cannot reach them.

Shoes For Kids

The problem of choosing shoes for your child, as a rule, becomes urgent after the first 6 months of his/her life.
Therefore, children’s shoes can be roughly divided into two main categories: for children who haven’t started walking yet, and for those who have already made the firststeps. Of course, shoes for each of the periods are somewhat different. But there are some generalrequirements you should consider when you buy shoes for children:
1. The sole of shoes must be strong, uneven and elastic. Take the shoes in hands and bend it several times. If the sole is made from cardboard then it’s not worth buying these shoes. Generally, small children need a small heel for walking!
2. Try to choose for the child, especially in the early years of his/her life, boots withadhesive tape. Generally, shoes, fitted with a latch – buckles, lacing, pin, and even buttons are not convenient for the baby. Shoes with adhesive tape have undeniable advantages; your child can easily to learn to wear and remove his/her boots, shoes or sneakers.
3. Pay attention to the back part of the shoes – it should be thick. It is better if it is slightly thicker than other parts of shoes. This will provide enhanced protection for the feet of your baby.
4. Pay attention to the material from which the shoes are made.
The best for choice are natural materials – genuine leather, and fabrics. Check the material of the internal parts of shoes! The idea of genuine leather disappears, if they have synthetic insole!
Can you distinguish artificial leather? With modern technology manufacturing synthetic leather, and some artificial materials are not under the force of each manufacturer.
The easiest way to determine the material from which the footwear (footwear elements) is made is to look at a special sticker on the shoe with graphic signs. Such labels are mandatory for manufacturers and importers of footwear of the EU countries. Labels indicate what type of material is used in making soles, lining and top boots.
If the shoes do not have such labels, there are several ways that will help you to distinguish artificial leather, but some of them in connection with the development of new technologies have become obsolete. For example, it was thought that leather is the only material that does not burn, so the first aircraft cabins were covered with natural leather. But this method can not be used when buying shoes; in addition, modern artificial leather has many common features with genuine leather. There is a composition, which gives to artificial leather the smell of genuine leather.
Here are severalmethods of determining the genuine leather:
• When putting the shoes on the inner surface of the palm of your hand for about ten seconds, the leather gets warm and begins to warm your hands and give a nice warm feeling, while the artificial leather remains cold.
• The bended edge of the leather is more rounded, but the leathery has a bit flat edges, and usually natural leather is thicker than artificial leather.
• Press a part of the shoes with a finger. When pressing you will notice that small creases or wrinkles appear, and then these wrinkles disappear. This is a sure sign of genuine leather.
• Leather can be defined, if we look at its cross-section. Artificial leather tends to have a textile, or polyamide base. And finally, you can drop a usual water on the leather (if allowed when shopping). Genuine leather absorbs moisture and becomes darker, but artificial leather remains unchanged.
5. Pay attention to the manufacturer. But be careful as a well-known brand is not yet a guarantee that you bought a good pair of shoes. In addition, the well-known brands are often counterfeited.
6. Insoles can be normal, anatomic (in proper shoes), and orthopedic – with a large instep-raiser. The choice of instep-raiser , its presence or absence is determined by an orthopedic doctor. Anatomical shoes do not hurt any child.
There is no need to confuse the orthopedic and prophylactic shoes. Prevention or anatomic shoes take the form of the feet, and create comfort while walking.Orthopedic shoes are needed in order to cure a violation of the locomotor system or prevent its development. Manufacturers of anatomic shoes often call it anorthopedic. This orthopedic shoes are sewed by individual plaster molds.
I urge you not to save when buying shoes for children, especially for children who have problems with feet. And do not take second-hand shoes, as they already repeat the shape of their previous owner’s feet, and they will be inconvenient for your child.
