Post-Baby Fitness On the Playground!

by tedgar

03 Nov 2009 11:02 PM

Today, my daughter and I went to the playground. As I bounced on one of the pieces of equipment with her, I realized that I was getting a decent core workout, as long as I structured it right. Exercise was critical to me when my daughter was a baby.

Oh Baby, It's Cold Outside

For a first time parent, it can be a little scary to see the temperatures drop. Ok, maybe you're not shaking in your snow boots quite yet, but as October turns to November it starts to get cool around these parts.

I love this time of year. The air is getting cooler, the days are getting shorter, and the trees are beautiful. Just yesterday we headed out towards the local university in a wind storm, and we felt like we were in the middle of a red and yellow leafy wind tunnel.

Are you still looking for a break? When you have a new baby, it can be hard to feel rested, refreshed, and centered. I can't help you with the sleep or the scattered brains, but there are ways to center yourself and have calmer, happier days with a baby.

Adventures in Sleep Training (Day 18)

Our house is now extremely peaceful at night. The last time I updated on our sleep training adventures, my son was still crying at bed time. I am happy to report that each night at 6:45pm, my son goes down in his crib very sleepy yet awake, and he goes to sleep without shedding a single tear.

Keeping Baby Warm

My daughter is four. Every night after she goes to sleep, she thrashes around in bed. She kicks her covers off. Some time in the middle of the night, I throw the covers over her again because she is searching for them - she's cold. Keeping moderately warm helps her sleep better.

Eighteen minutes. That is how long it took my little guy to fall asleep tonight. When I first decided to teach my son how to fall asleep by himself, I was fully prepared to wait an hour or more. I'm so glad this has not been the case so far.

You have a baby. Your baby does not sleep. This might be because he's teething, or he has colic or reflux. Or perhaps he is just simply a baby, and one who does not sleep.

At 8:18pm my husband put our overtired baby in his crib. It's 8:35, and he's still crying intermittently. Over the past few weeks, our nearly five-month-old son has clearly transformed from an infant with regular naps to a baby who wants nothing more than to play all day.

Accepting Sleep Deprivation

I'm a sleep deprivation expert. I'm fully credentialed, having slept less than one hour at a time for months when my daughter was a baby. Yes, less than one hour at a time. That was when she was teething, and she seemed to be teething all of the time.
