How to clean the baby’s gums

Print

Just like older kids or adults need their teeth cared for, so do the baby’s gums. The best way to clean the baby’s gums is using wet wash cloth with water. Just wet the cloth and wrap around your finger and wipe the baby’s gums , tongue and upper walls of the mouth, and voila.. baby’s mouth is clean!

Bye Bye Weekend, hello Monday!

This weekend was pretty busy for us, but it all went fine.  Eli turned 5 months old on Sunday, and i can’t believe it is already 5 months since i had him. We had him  dedicated at Sheffield Family Life Center , and the service was  just great.  My husband and I are both Christians , i was raised catholic, and in the catholic church baby baptism is a  big deal.  So we were both glad we got to have Eli dedicated this Sunday. Later on we had one family over for dinner,  and it was lovely.

I love weekends because i get to spend time with my family. Eli is really trying to imitate Julian,  he is reaching out to him, grabbing on his hands, and at times reaching out wanting Julian to carry him. Julian just laughs at him and thinks it is the coolest thing ever.   I got to talk to my parents in Tanzania  too, and they were both doing great, i really miss them. Dad told My husband that if all goes as planned he will be coming to visit us here, if he really does come this will be awesome.

Eli was running a mild fever over the weekend and we had been giving him some Tylenol. This morning he woke up with about 99.2 fever, i think it was due to the teething, but when  i called Children Mercy nurse’s line   the nurse wanted him checked just to rule out anything serious. We went in and Dr said to keep an eye on him if he still has it within the next 48 hrs she would have his blood tested, so so far he is ok.

This swine flu has everyone really nervous, anytime you complain about any kind of body aches,  people fear you have it.

So Monday is here and it is work as usual. I get to go to my cardio conditioning at 4:30P . Last week i lost 3 lbs, which is absolute awesome.  This week i plan on working out 5 days, last week i worked out for 3 days, so we will see how i do.

Enough yapping, Have a good work week!
