Article: A nightly routine will help your baby adapt to going to sleep at the same time every evening, which should help to make it easier to get her to sleep. Create a routine that works for you. It can include things like bath time, comfortable bedtime clothes, a story, a final feeding, a massage, or anything else that helps your baby wind down before bed. You don't have to follow every aspect of your routine every single night (nor in the order listed), but make sure that you always do things in the same order according to your routine, so that your baby knows what to expect and recognizes relaxation cues. Even if she's too young to understand, tell your baby when it's bedtime so that she will begin to understand the verbal cues. Don't give her so much that she's overly full and uncomfortable, but give her enough so that she's satisfied and not hungry before bed. Before bed, try a short massage. For 10 to 15 minutes, use slow, long strokes and moderate pressure to massage her arms, legs, hands, feet, back, and tummy. Try a baby-friendly oil, such as sunflower or grapeseed. Gently rub her face, including her forehead, the bridge of her nose, and her head. A warm bath is relaxing for adults and babies, and it's a nice addition to your nighttime routine. Consider skipping this step if your baby finds baths too exciting or dislikes being in the water. Avoid having toys or other stimulants in the nighttime bath, as the purpose of this bath is quiet, soothing time before sleep. Use a good, thick, nighttime diaper to prevent leaks and unnecessary mid-night changes. Choose soft pajamas made from a breathable fabric, because babies sleep better when they are cool versus warm. Use booties and sleeping sacks instead of blankets, as blankets pose a suffocation risk. Be sure to use a low, quiet, monotone voice that won't startle or stimulate her. Every baby is different and responds to stimuli differently, and if your baby doesn't relax during story time, try other soothing methods, such as: Walking around with her in your arms or in a carrier Rocking her gently in a chair or in your arms Singing her a song Playing her quiet music

Article: Girls tend to wear clothes that are more form fitting so you need to pick out an outfit that fits the boy well. Choosing a dress or skirt for the boy to wear will make it easy to distinguish that he's dressing like a girl. Some boys have very broad shoulders so finding a dress that fits him right might be hard. If the boy has broad shoulders, consider putting him in a skirt and shirt to get a better fit. If you choose to have him wear pants, it would be a good idea to have him wear skinny jeans with boots. This look is a popular style with girls. The shape of his clothing can impact how others view him when they look at his body. Get a more feminine shape by using clothes and their colors to accentuate areas of the body. Wearing dark colors around the waist provides a slimming effect to create an hourglass look. Pick v-neck or lower cut tops to provide a more girly style. You can add different types of accessories to the outfit to complete the look. Accessories are an important part of a girl's outfit, so adding accessories will give an authentic look to the boy's outfit. Jewelry like necklaces, bracelets, rings, and clip-on earrings will add a feminine touch to the outfit. If the boy is wearing a dress or skirt, you can have him wear tights to add color or design to his look. Shoe style is important when trying to dress a boy like a girl. If you want to make a boy look like a girl, he needs to wear shoes that are feminine. Shoes with heels are a great choice. There are dress shoes and boots that have heels. Choosing a shorter heel is a good idea if the boy isn't used to walking in heels yet. Fashion boots are also a great choice for dressing a boy like a girl.

Article: There's no need to run out and purchase a leotard, but there are some things to keep in mind when going ice skating for the first time. Wear clothes that are easy to move around in, like a t-shirt and loose-fitting pants. Don't wear jeans. They will become damp when you fall on the ice. The ice gets cold, as you can imagine, so don't forget the items that will keep you warm like gloves, a hat, a scarf and a light jacket. Remember, you'll be moving around quite a bit. Choose a jacket that is warm but light. Also, a coat that hangs to the ground is a hazard. Keep your feet happy by wearing a thick pair of socks or tights. Skip the cotton socks as they do not absorb moisture very well. They also tend to be bulky which can cause blistering on the feet. Instead, thin wool socks will work great. They should stretch up to your calf so they don't fall down while skating. Ask the rink attendant to give you two sizes to try. These should be your normal, everyday shoe size, plus one size larger. Put both pairs on to see how they feel laced up. Skates that are too loose will not provide the proper ankle support needed. They should feel snug but not so tight that they strangle your feet and cause your toes to go numb. Lace the skates from the toe up. Tie the final knot firmly so that they do not become unlaced during skating. You can even tuck the ends into the top of the skates for extra security.
