I bought 2, one for my daughter and one for my nephew. They were expensive! Only to find out that Grandma bought the same ones. So I decided to take mine back. However, Hallmark doesn’t do returns on Keepsake Ornaments. I have the B is for Babies (and Booties) and the Classic Pooh Baby’s First Christmas. Does anyone want them? They were $15 and $18.50. Or, does anyone know of any other place that carries Hallmark Ornaments?

Acid reflux in babies is more common then many people realize, with more than half of all infants experiencing its symptoms to varying degrees in the first three months of life. This may sound un-nerving for new parents, but the good news is that most infant’s acid reflux is a normal part of digestive tract development with relatively few experiencing the more severe symptoms that need to be dealt with medically.Acid reflux, or GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), occurs when stomach acid and contents flow back up the esophagus. This can be very uncomfortable and even painful for anyone, but is more so with babies as it causes an unpleasant burning sensation at the back of the throat as well as the upper chest area. The real problem with acid reflux in babies is simply identifying that they do indeed suffer from it.Babies who suffer from occasional acid reflux often exhibit symptoms such as spitting up or vomiting, coughing, occasional fussiness or crying after eating and a reluctance to eat because of the discomfort associated with it. Of course these symptoms can be caused by any number of other things, but if they seem to consistently happen after feeding there is a good chance acid reflux is the culprit. Left untreated it can lead growth deficiencies due to the infant’s inability to keep food down and refusing to eat. It is important to talk with your baby’s pediatrician about any concerns you may have related to acid reflux.The good news is that most infants out grow this condition and the vast majority of babies respond well to simple changes in feeding position and formula choices. Feeding in a more upright position is one recommendation your doctor may make, because this allows gravity to work, keeping the contents of the stomach moving downwards. It may be noticed that the baby’s symptoms get worse when he is laid down for a nap. Another recommendation the doctor may make is feeding your baby more frequently with smaller amounts, instead of large feedings which exacerbate the condition. Thickening the formula may also help control the symptoms.If dietary and positioning modifications do not help control the acid reflux in your baby then acid controlling medications may need to be used. If this is the case be sure to closely follow your doctor’s orders. Treating a baby with over the counter medications is not a good idea unless supervised by the baby’s pediatrician.It is important to have any infant who suffers from acid reflux treated for this condition because it can cause damage to the esophagus and larynx as well as respiratory problems. In most cases it seldom gets to this extreme, but acid reflux in babies is something that all new parents need to be aware of and cognizant for.

We keep a diary for various reasons, to reflect on happy and sad memories in our personal life and to remember appointments and keep notes in our professional life. A health diary is a similar tool that helps in keeping the track of your health records as well as updating them. Using a health diary you can do number of things which help you as well as your health care providers and physicians. A daily health diary can be used to manage your daily health related activities, food habits, exercise regimes and other essential health concerns. The main objective of health diary is to create an easy and efficient way of communication between you and your doctor and to track your health goals.

Typically, people maintain two kinds of daily health diaries: a personal health diary and a family health diary. A personal health diary can be used to meet the health objectives set by you and your physicians or health care providers. You can include various information inside personal health diary such as:

· Diet: you should plan a healthy and nutritious diet after having a discussion with your dietitian or physician. People with diabetes or obesity problems can create a diet plan to meet the necessary goals. The diet plan may include foods that can be included in your daily meals to get all the essential nutrients such as protein, vitamins, carbohydrates, fats and minerals. You can also arrange the diet in terms of foods taken in breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. At the end of every month, you shall see the changes in your body by following this healthy diet diary plan.

· Exercise: you can also plan and develop different exercises for the entire week or month. This record is especially helpful to people who wants to build their muscles, cut down the extra fats, and provide flexibility to the body. Exercises for each day in a week can be planned and worked at accordingly to meet the objectives.

· Healthy lifestyle: some people would want to keep a track on their wellness related activities and habits that they perform during a week or a month. People who constantly move around and indulge in eating out can keep a track on what and how much they have consumed. This plan may also include timings for sleeping, wake up, regular check-ups, smoking, alcohol consumption, meals and so on. This can help an individual to live his/her life in an organized and disciplined way.

A family health diary works in the same fashion. However, you can arrange the details of your family members separately in family health diary. If you are married, you may want to keep a track on vaccinations for your baby, health check-ups for your father and mother and pregnancy tests for your wife. You can surely provide a disease-free and healthy life to your beloved ones by using a family health dairy. The diet plans, exercise plans and lifestyle plans would be changed according to the age, sex and fitness level of your family members.

A health diary can help you at various occasions and scenarios. You can access your health records even when you are out of your city for the business or vacation purposes. In cases of emergencies, the doctors would benefit greatly by the knowledge provided by your records. A health diary also allows new doctors to have a better idea about your health and can provide the most effective treatment in short span of time without repeating tests that have been performed recently. Even a person from non-medical background can provide valuable help in emergencies, if you carry a health diary which includes information such as:

· Name, age, and address

· Past diseases and treatments

· Allergies

· Medications in use

· Major surgeries

The Problem: What effect will the presence of dissolved salt and sugar have on the ability of sodium acrylate to absorb water?

I’m testing baby diaper chemicals’ absorption with sugar water, salt water, and pure water.

I think that the presence of salt will increase absorption and the sugar will decrease absorption compared to the original amount of pure water that will be absorbed.

thank you so much!!!
