Finding just the right decorations is often one of the most challenging parts of planning any baby shower.

The right decorations can set the mood and the theme of the celebration, and it is important that the decorations chosen be a good reflection of the mother to be and her special guests.

What is cradle cap?What is the cause?

No one really knows why some otherwise healthy infants develop cradle cap while others do not. Some authorities propose the mother, just prior to giving birth, had a hormone “rush” across the placenta and this energizes the scalp of the newborn and over stimulates the baby’s oil-producing (seborrheic) glands while not being able to slough off the old cells. This messy crust builds up and it’s called cradle cap. What we do know is that it’s not caused by poor hygiene or allergies. It’s not contagious, and it probably doesn’t bother your baby at all, although if it gets severe it might itch.

When this rash occurs on the scalp alone, it’s known as cradle cap. Although it may start as scaling and redness of the scalp, it can extend to the face, neck and arm pits too, and when it does, pediatricians call it

Since a Naming Ceremony is a ceremony evolving as we speak, it is interesting to see some of the new aspects entering into the celebration, such as making a wish for the baby’s future life.

Not really a new concept. Wasn’t there something about fairy godmothers who wished some wonderful things for Snow White? And wasn’t there one fairy Godmother who was so ticked off by something or other, that instead of a good wish, she landed Snow White with a rather bad one?
