Well it is about time for our 'almost' 2 year old to make the move from the cot to the BIG BED.
We are very aware that he still throws himself around every which way during the night and have concerns of him falling out of bed. The obvious is to purchase a bed that allows for rails to hold him in, but this also limits the choice of style.
I came across a great article filled with information on this topic, which has hopefully made choosing the right bed much easier, but it also assists in when and how to make the change.
The Rudd Government will promise paid parental leave from January 2011 for families whose primary carer, usually the mother, earns less than $150,000 a year.
The leave will be paid for 18 weeks at the federal minimum wage of about $544 a week, however this will be taxed.
Stay at home mums will continue to received the $5000 baby bonus. The baby bonus and family tax benefits will continue to be available for mothers who stay at home.
Recipients of the parental leave scheme will not be eligible to receive the baby bonus or family tax benefit part B as well.
What are your thoughts on the Governments Paid Parental Leave Proposal? Have your say!!
It is the controversial Gender test kit branded 'a toy'
Expectant parents can now test the sex of their baby in the comfort of their own home as early as eight weeks using IntelliGender, the first test of its kind in Australia claiming 90% accuracy in determining whether a baby will be a boy or a girl.
It has stirred up much debate on its accuracy, whether it even works at all and the fact it could be result in abortion of unwanted sex babies.
At $95, its accuracy concerns, and with gender selection moral, ethical and legal issues, would an expecting mother not see any logic in waiting for the 12 week ultrasound?
SHOULD D.I.Y. GENDER I.D. TESTS BE AVAILABLE AT PHARMACIES? Have your say below.
Well Mothers day is nearing, Sunday 10th of May and Daddy is left wondering what on earth to get Mum. Our little man is almost 2 now with plenty to say, but unfortunately offers very little advice, at least I'm certainly not buying a 'Car', 'Boat' or 'Train' as he would suggest (they are his more frequent words).
There is the usual pyjamas, perfume and flowers but as great as those things may be, I hoping to make it a little more exciting. Mum has bought herself, or should I say bought me to give her, Gold class cinema tickets to see a good movie in style, is this enough or does Mum deserve even more for what she does? I'll think about that, maybe you can give me some suggestions?
