 out to be something prestigious and a career boosting 

 academic achievement that stemmed from world-wide 

 collective efforts to elevate the profession. This development

Baby Flat Head Syndrome and prevention from Pediatric Nurse Perspective

Image
     Flat Head Syndrome in babies became an after-effect of the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) prevention campaign “Back to Sleep,” launched in the USA. This campaign promoted babies sleeping on their back which led to a remarkable reduction of mortality due to sudden death among infants. This intervention was generally accepted by many but required certain modifications in order to prevent deformation of the cranium (head).      Some parents who are afraid of SIDS, never put their infant in the prone position which led to an increase in the risk of Developmental Plagiocephaly (Ohman, 2013) or commonly known as Flat Head Syndrome.

How to be a “smexy” mom for your toddlers

I believe that experience is always the best source of lifetime learning. Mothers who have truly experienced what it's like caring for their children are the most credible sources. Adding to mothers' experience, I'd like to share some things I know about staying smart and sexy for you and your family. I guess it is every mom's dream to stay fit and sexy even after she has given birth. I know one close friend whose dream is to be a hot momma  and she is actually living that dream now. In caring for children, mothers must never forget to also take good care of themselves. Young children must have proper nutrition because, without it, their growth and development can be greatly affected. As a mother, you must take an active role in the development of your children. This responsibility can be fulfilled ideally if you know how to be smart and sexy or a “smexy” mom. The many things that your children learn in the early years of their life can shape his/her thin...
