Many parents suffer needlessly, along with their baby, through hours of baby's crying and sleepless nights. If you are experiencing the same problem as I suffered with when my children were babies, now there is a new, natural way to end those long, unpleasant hours and help your baby fall asleep on his own. In fact, there are more than 23 ways to naturally bring about a peaceful, gentle way to get your baby to sleep through the night and without crying.
I wish I had known of these natural methods when I was struggling to get my own babies to sleep through the night. It would have saved us from many unneeded tears and long nights, just to get them to sleep.
The good news is, there are now a number of methods to use, conveniently recorded on audio cd's to listen to whenever you are at home or in your car, which will save busy parents much more time than reading books about how to get your baby to sleep through the night.
Since every parent and baby is different, there are many choices of methods to use, depending on each personality, but each natural method has been tried and successfully used.

How To Make A Baby Shower Diaper Cake
A few weeks ago, one of my daughter's friends had a baby shower and my daughter wanted to make her a unique gift. I suggested that she could make her a baby diaper cake similar to one I had made for my grandson at her recent baby shower.
My daughter said she had no idea how to even begin to make a diaper cake, so I told her about some video tutorials on making diaper cakes I had seen on the internet which I had purchased when I made the one for her baby shower.
The tutorials show you step-by-step how to make several styles of diaper cakes in under 25 minutes. These kind of original designs would cost over $100 to purchase from specialty shops, if you could even find them!
After the friend's baby shower, everyone was so impressed with her gift that they kept asking her where she got the "cake" from, and found it hard to believe that she had actually made it herself.
If you have a baby shower coming up or know someone who does, tell them to check out these tutorials on how to create a diaper cake. It will be a unique and personal baby gift that the new mom will love and appreciate.

Building Baby's Language Skills
If you would like to boost your baby's language skills, one way is to get out the building blocks!
According to a six-month study of 18- to 30-month-olds, those who played with blocks had about 15 percent bigger vocabularies than those who didn't. The reasoning behind this is that blocks, along with other toys such as dolls and cars, provide parents a way to actively play with and talk with their baby, while at the same time offer a way to subtly lay a foundation for their baby's language skills.
The study author Dimitri Christakis, MD, states that it's not just the time the parents spend playing with their baby, it's the benefit later on when their baby is playing alone that he will recreate what you did. While playing, if you say, "This block is yellow", then later on when your baby is playing with the blocks he will be thinking, "yellow".
