Just 20 minutes, but I have not been able to stop thinking about it. Yes, the 20 minutes of sleep is one thing to envy, but the whole ritual of self-care surrounding it is, too. Being a daily napper means keeping yourself and your needs front and center (or at least somewhere in view).
Fast Ways to Cure Fever Blisters
Fever blisters go by other names, including cold sores and — more ominously still — oral herpes. The discomfort and embarrassment your child experiences when she has a fever blister won’t last long if the sores are tended to properly. Most fever blisters resolve on their own in about a week. They’ll go away faster, however, if your child uses good hygiene and simple self-care strategies.
Weight Loss From Breastfeeding
Most moms know that breastfeeding is best when it comes to feeding your baby. Not only does breast milk contain a host of beneficial nutrients and antibodies, according to the National Women’s Health Information Center, but there are benefits for the mother as well. Breastfeeding increases the bond between mother and child and is much more budget-friendly than purchasing formula. In addition, breastfeeding can even help you lose weight.

By teaching your kids the fundamentals of health and hygiene, you can make the world a little bit safer for your children as they grow.
