Tip of the Week: Night Light We Love

Night lights are a child's bedroom necessity, and I love this one for its unique and smart design. The Beaba Pixie Night Light pulls double-duty, working as both a tabletop night light and a lantern for nighttime trips to the bathroom. It is bright enough to be your only light source while changing baby, while remaining soft enough to be minimal and soothing.

The lantern shape makes it easy to carry and it has two different brightness settings. It has an easy-to-use rechargeable base and is BPA-free and safety-tested for use with young babies. Whether this night light it is being carried, cuddled or sitting on a nightstand, it is too cute to resist!

Tip of the Week: Protecting Your Baby from H1N1

If you're a new mother, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says you should take the following steps to prevent exposing your child to swine flu:
- Wash hands frequently and always cover your mouth with your elbow when sneezing or coughing. If you're already ill, consider wearing a face mask around your baby.
- If you are breastfeeding, don’t stop. Breast milk contains antibodies that help your baby fight disease.
- It is safe to breastfeed even if you are taking medicine prescribed to treat the H1N1 virus.
- If your baby's sick, continue to breastfeed as often as possible. Hydration is important when a child is ill, and there is no better fluid than breast milk.
- If your child is too ill to breastfeed, consider using a syringe or eye dropper.
