Our New Book!

Our website has been very quiet for the past few months because... we have been working on a book about feeding, suitable for parents just like you! Written completely by your cyber midwife, Cecilia Koh, the book is scheduled for publication in December 2010.

We have come up with 2 different book covers and we cannot decide which to use... and that's why we need your help! Help us decide which cover is better, and you stand a chance of winning a free copy!

Getting The Best For Your Baby And You

Being pregnant or having just had a baby, you may be faced with the dilemma of whether to use modern or traditional practices during pregnancy and the postnatal confinement period in order to give both you and baby the best of care.

Both methods have their own merits and what works for some may not work for others because everyone is an individual. Maybe we should use both methods as a complement to each other rather than against each other. Therefore, I hope that the information here will help you in your decisions.

Last but not least, I would like to dedicate this website to all you mothers and mothers to be and of course to the papas without whose help, we will not be able to become mothers.

Eczema

Eczema, also called atopic dermatitis, is a skin rash that usually shows up on a baby's forehead, cheeks, and scalp but it can spread to the arms, legs, chest, or other parts of the body. The rash may look like dry, thickened scaly skin, or it may be made up of tiny red bumps that can blister, ooze, or become infected if scratched. Conventional treatment is to apply creams and lotions which most times temporarily ease the condition.
In the article below Dr. Randal Neustaedter presents a holistic approach to dealing with the condition.

Teething

Teething is the process during which an infant's teeth (also called deciduous teeth or primary teeth) start to sequentially grow in and is an important milestone in your baby’s development and growth. This article discusses the teething process as well as the symptoms your child may have during this process.

ADD and ADHD - A New Epidemic?

Until recently (just one or two decades) we haven't heard of ADD and ADHD as often as we do now. Now, suddenly these two disorders are household terms, known to just about every parent and educator.
