It’s best to wean your child off the pacifier by the age of two. That way your child won’t suffer any long-term damage to their teeth. After the age of two, problems including slanting teeth can begin to occur.

5 tips for newborns to sleep successfully.

As mentioned above, you need to give hints and tips for newborns to sleep. Otherwise they will do what they want whenever they want. Whether that’s play at 2am or decide to do a poop.

If you allow this… YOU will lose your mind. After all parents need their sleep too.

I remember with both my baby’s, the first 3 months were so so difficult. There was no routine. Baby couldn’t tell day from night and vice versa. It was so hard! After a few weeks here and there, were onto the right routine now.

When Should you Start Sleep Training?

Newborn baby sleeping too much – Is it concerning?

Some babies don’t even like waking up for their feed and have to be forced to do so. This is nothing to worry about. Like mentioned above, they just like there sleep.

However if your baby is still a newborn, it is vital to ensure they are getting fed on time regardless if there asleep or awake.

Especially in the first 6 weeks of life.

This is a stage for babies to develop physically and intellectually hence they need their nutrition on time.

Assess your child’s routine in the early days, if they are refusing to awake during feeds, then run it by your health nurse who can check if everything’s okay.

Also Keep an eye on your baby’s diapers. Their urine shouldn’t be too yellow and they should do an adequate number of stools of the right color per day.

A baby will show various signs when they are sleepy. It can be rain or rainbow basically.

A baby who doesn’t sleep enough will be clingy, whiny, hyper (my little ones go hyper if it’s past their bed time) and hard to soothe. If your baby is sleeping at it’s right time, they will sleep soundly. Read more to click here >>>>

How much should baby drink? Infant Feeding Amounts

This will help ensure your baby gains the right amount of weight they need to grow healthy. You can check here what weight your baby should be from birth up till the age of 1.

At first, when breast milk hasn’t established, your baby will take in smaller amounts. However, as your baby grows and your milk supply amps up, your baby will be able to take in more milk in less time at one feeding.

Your supply will flow more and flow more faster as your baby learns the sucking motions. That’s when you will be able to put a time on each feeding session to ensure your baby has had a proper feed and is full.

Amount of feeds per day according to age:

1 to 3 months: 8 to 10 times per 24 hours.

3 months: 7 to 9 times in 24 hours.

6 months: 6 to 8 times in 24 hours

12 months: 3 to 4 times in 24 hours, with the addition of Solids

Do bare in mind that all babies are different. Although the majority may follow a routine, not all will. Read more to click here >>>

Starting a dropshipping business on eBay

Starting a dropshipping business on eBay doesn’t have to be hard.

Dropshipping is a simple method where a business or store doesn’t hold the inventory. It doesn’t keep the products it sells in stock (as in physical form). Instead, when a product sells using the dropshipping model, the business then purchases the item from a third party company or directly from the manufacturer and has it shipped directly to the customer.

YOU as in ‘your business’ is the middleman.

The biggest difference between dropshipping and wholesaling is that the selling merchant doesn’t stock or own the inventory, whereas in wholesaling they would.

Cost to start a dropshipping business

Dropshipping is not like wholesaling where you have to pre-invest a large amount of money into ordering an inventory before it can actually sell.

In fact it’s the complete opposite. You can wait till you’ve made a sale before you spend a dime.

Now, although the main phrase associated with dropshipping is “start at zero cost” that’s entirely NOT TRUE.

And just like that.. you’ll find out why!

If you don’t calculate your margins right, you could find your self making no profit at all, you may even be working out of pocket.

It’s a “you win some, you lose some” kinda scenario

You firstly have to consider whether it’s worth going into this business model before you lay the stretch. By that, I mean – calculating the costs to see if this business model is something you even want to spend your time on.

Some people do dropshipping for a side gig. Just to make enough for a night out each week or even a trip to the movies. However some are in it for the real deal. They want beef! By that I mean, a nice chunk of money (in terms of profit). Either way one should calculate the costs of starting a dropshipping business so that they can remain on top of their finances.  Read more to click here >>>
