It is very easy to lose heart when your child turns his nose up at anything and becomes a fussy baby! We all start off with the best of intentions, but all too soon we find that our child only wants a chocolate cereal  for breakfast and chicken dinosaurs and Scooby Doo spaghetti for lunch.
If you want your child to be more adventurous when eating at a friends house you will first need to get him to him to be less fussy at home. Often it is the snacks your child eats between meals that can spoil his appetite. Straight after school is a perfect time to get your child to eat healthy food as usually this is the time that they are really hungry. Try to resist buying chocolates biscuits and crisp.

One of the most common pregnancy symptoms is feeling sick in the first 14 to 15 weeks of pregnancy and affects three quarters of pregnant women. Here are some ideas to help you through this time:
• If you have an empty stomach your nausea will feel a lot worse. You should try to eat little and often because
• Ginger is a renowned natural remedy for nausea
• You should get out of bed slowly and try eating plain crackers or dry cereal before you get out of bed.
• Plain carbohydrates like dry toast, rice cakes, or dry cereal can be helpful especially first thing in the morning before you get up when your blood sugar level will be at its lowest. Carbohydrates like these are slow burning foods, which prevent your blood sugar dropping and help ease nausea.
• Dehydration is the biggest danger of morning sickness. Make sure you drink plenty of fluids like water, fruit juices, milk or perhaps herbal tea.
• Tiredness plays a big part in morning sickness. So try to take naps during the day.
• Try acupressure wristbands. These stimulate an acupressure point on your wrist which can help relieve the  nausea feeling.

The less alcohol you drink the better since alcohol passes through the placenta and affects your baby. No one knows how much alcohol is safe, but we do know that a high consumption of alcohol can affect your baby’s growth and can interfere with your baby’s ability to get enough oxygen and nourishment for normal cell development in the brain and other organs. Current guidelines say its safe to drink one or two units of alcohol once or twice a week but some experts advise cutting it out altogether.
Alcohol and pregnancy – One unit of alcohol is the equivalent of:
100 mls of wine (1 small glass)
100 mls of champagne (1 small glass)
300ml (1/2 pint) beer, larger or cider
1 pub measure of spirits
1 pub measure of sherry or liqueur

There are various causes of insomnia during pregnancy. The hormone that leaves women feeling weak during the day can also make it hard to sleep at night.
Tips for avoiding insomnia:
• Try to maintain a routine with a regular sleep and wake schedule
• Sleep in a quiet bedroom with a good mattress and comfortable pillow
• Use the bed only to sleep and not to read, watch television or work on a laptop
• Maintain a balanced diet
• Create a before bed routine like taking a shower, drinking a glass of warm milk or listening to calming music, which also benefits the baby
• Avoid stimulants like caffeine
• If you cannot fall asleep, get out of bed and try doing something else in a different room. When you feel tired again, return to bed.
• Try to sleep on your left side to improve blood pressure and this can help prevent swelling in the feet
• Do not drink a lot of liquid before going to bed

Shiloh Jolie Pitt has requested a soldier themed party and boy toys for her birthday.
The 3 year old asked mum Angelina Jolie and dad Brad Pitt for a military themed bash to celebrate turning four. Shiloh’s brother Maddox had a soldier themed party when he turned four and she wants the same.
Angelina and Brad are planning to shower her with birthday gifts including boots and toy guns.
It was recently claimed that Brad spent more than $10,000 buying boys clothes for Shiloh after she shunned the girl clothes he was buying for her five year old sister Zahara. Brad has previously revealed that Shiloh only responds to the name John, after growing obsessed with the Darling brothers in the classic children’s story Peter Pan.

Some time towards the middle of your pregnancy or even earlier, you may notice the muscles of your uterus tightening. If you place your hands on your bare bump when this is happening you can feel how hard your uterus becomes.
Each tightening usually lasts for about half a minute and usually does not cause you any discomfort. You may have this sensation once or twice an hour perhaps a few times a day.They get their name from John Braxton Hicks the English doctor who first described them in 1872.
