Baby Constipation: Tips Cure and Remedies
Today’s (overdue) post is about baby constipation. We’ll try to list down the causes of it, the tips and cures and also enumerate the best treatment or remedies in dealing with toddler constipation. Like I said, this is an overdue post. I could have made a post like this way back when my first born (Matt) was a little over 1 year old.
Matt is turning 4 years old now and his little brother, Sean, will be turning 2. That is why this topic on baby constipation is a little late. Good thing (NOT) that my sons sometimes still suffer constipation which reminded me to browse the web and search for remedies for constipation.. specific for babies and toddlers

Nose Bleed Info on Toddlers and Children
Nosebleed in toddlers is the blog post for today because I believe that I am not the only one, being a father, who experience this with their own children.
My son, Matt who is 4 years old as of this writing, (he’ll be reading this when he’s 20 or older I guess 
, ha been experiencing nose bleeds in the past couple of days and because of that I have searched the internet for information about nose bleeds in children and toddlers, the causes of nose bleeds, preventions and first aids for it.
Nosebleed Background Information
Nosebleeds can be dramatic and frightening. That is absolutely true! The first time I saw Matt with his nose bleeding and some of it on his hands I was frozen still and could not think of the things I should do. That time I didn’t know that most nosebleeds are not serious and usually can be managed at home. My wife didn’t think so. I was worried too, but she was more worried that I am. She suggested that we see our pediatrician and have Matt checked out.
My wife’s suggestion was reasonable. I myself was relieved when the doctor said that Matt is fine. Of course we can’t help it since there was blood involved and most definitely sometimes medical intervention may be necessary.

Facts About Minor Wound Care
My son had an very terrifying accident the other day, January 9 to be exact. He jumped on the bed and cut his toes with a tin sheet (his white board toy). It bled. It bled so hard that I almost panicked!

So before you peel off that bandage make sure you know the difference between the facts and the misconceptions on minor wound care.
Misconception: It is best to let a minor wound heal over with a scab.
For a long time I thought this is the truth.. until know, I think it is. But if scab makes the healing process longer, I need to search more about it.

A post from a single parent, a mother, raising her beautiful one-year old daughter.
There are a lot of categories of being a Single Parent, two of which is, it’s either you are not married or you are separated from your husband. Either of the two, it is still difficult to raise a child on your own.
There are a lot of things you should take into consideration, when your child is still young, at the age of one, you would be able to take care of her, give attention to her needs and give enough affection that a single mom could only give.
