Should my baby be in a quiet enviroment when she sleeps?

Should my baby be in a quiet enviroment when she sleeps?

by Dr. Christine Wood, M.D

Q Should my baby be in a quiet environment when she sleeps?

A Babies are very good at "tuning out," and they do not really need to sleep in a perfectly quiet environment. It does help with some babies, but many babies are very happy to fall asleep at restaurants, while shopping or with lots of noisy kids around.

Are the Conditions Right for Conception?
Most of the lubricants currently on the market have been shown to kill or significantly impede the movement of sperm – making conception far less likely. Fortunately, there are lubricants now on the market that are scientifically designed to match fertile cervical liquid and semen, creating a conception friendly environment.

Pregnancy Weight Gain Recommendations
Pregnant women often feel liberated by the idea that this is the one time in life when they can eat, really eat, for a purpose.
