Babysitter Dads

Babysitters, specially those in fantasy play, usually wear cozy soft sweaters and have a kinky side to them. Otherwise, they are older ladies with a taste for small children and great knowledge about educating and entertaining them. More often than not, babysitters are female. The eternally instated role of women caring for small children has long left men away from these responsibilities. Even with paternity leaves and stay-at-home dads of recent years, babysitting can prove a challenging task to the otherwise clueless male parent. With flashbacks to Ms. Doubtfire  and Daddy Day Care scenes, even Hollywood believes in more dads taking the reigns of now working mothers. At first pure chaos, dads in and out of screen are pulling it off. Some are even making their significant others jealous with their baby caring skills.

Entertaining a kid might seem challenging, but taking care of a new born baby requires other type of skills some new parents might be terrified with. At first, your sole worries were about where to get generic Viagra. Now, becoming a father for the first time carries an emotionally charged stage in our lives, during which a mountain load of questions and doubt about our capacity to care for such small and defenseless beings seems to fall over us. Even when first time reactions might be giving the baby on to the mother, never has it been more important for men to learn to care for their babies.

Among the very well-known death causes in babies one year old and younger is the infamous and terrifying SIDS. SIDS stands for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, the risk of a baby suffocating or strangling while in bed. Though years of study have not been able to determine specific causes for this syndrome, specific habits can prevent your baby from stop breathing while sleeping. Younger babies are very vulnerable beings; making sure to put them to bed properly and creating healthy sleeping habits for them are two great ways of taking care of babies’ health.

Experts recommend, as of early 1990’s, that you put babies on their backs when sleeping time comes around. Sleeping on their stomach may cause babies to accidentally suffocate with soft bed clothing or succumb to their own bodies’ weight. Several parents worry about their babies turning over and changing sleeping positions over night. However, experts attest babies acquire the motor capacity to turn over only after they have gone past the risk age for SIDS. Manufacturers have been able to provide baby sitter dads (and moms) with preventive measures, though. Wedge pillows, for example, have long been used to help moms sleep on their sides with comfortable support. Smaller wedge pillows may also be used to support the baby’s sides and avoid unsuspected roll-over motions over night.

Even when babies can learn proper sleeping positions and parents can squeeze wedge pillows under their children’s sides, SIDS is a somewhat unpreventable condition in babies under one year of age. Experts believe proper bedding that excludes padded bordering and extremely soft mattresses and covers go hand in hand with parent’s commitment to care for their children. Other hazardous elements in babies’ beds include plush toys, cord elements and unnecesary blankets.
