Belly Support for Pregnancy
Advocates of belly bands, belly bras and maternity belly belts swear that they help you lift your pregnant belly and reduce muscle and ligament pain. Much of this pain is centered in the back. Regardless of what you call them, these clothing items are indeed designed to lift and redistribute some of that baby weight, making it easier for you to carry your pregnant belly.
Healthy Cookies for Children
Cookies are always a favorite with children, but they are often loaded with empty calories. Change up your recipes to make your cookies healthier by limiting the amount of sugar; substituting whole grain flour for white; and adding nutritious ingredients such as dried fruit and nuts. Then, keep the cookies kid-friendly by encouraging your children to help you bake them.
When to Wear Pregnancy Clothes
Some pregnant women look forward to wearing pregnancy (or maternity) clothes, while others dread it. Many moms make the leap the instant their jeans feel tight. Some make do with roomy sweatpants and baggy shirts until they can’t pretend any longer. When you decide to make the switch from your regular wardrobe to your pregnancy clothes is a matter of both personal preference and genuine need.
Cures for Under-Eye Swelling
Under-eye swelling — sometimes called “bags under the eyes” — is rarely a serious health threat. Still, it can be seriously irritating when you want to look your best. Puffy, swollen areas under the eyes are not only unattractive, but they can be uncomfortable as well. Luckily, under-eye swelling will usually go down with treatment.
Night Cough in Children
A child’s cough, much like an adult’s, is his body’s way of trying to get rid of an irritant in his throat or bronchial passage. Night coughing in children can be frustrating for both the parent and child, as it can interfere with a good night’s rest. Luckily, night coughing is usually not indicative of a serious health condition, according to KidsHealth.
