I often wonder what it was like for those moms back in the pioneer days who were miles, sometimes days away from other moms. When I think back to when I had my first child it was sometimes a scary, always second guessing time. Especially when my baby was sick.
I can’t imagine what my life would have been like as a new mom without family, friends and even the ability to google some of my most pressing questions. But like the information from the stranger in the mall who told me I shouldn’t be holding my baby a certain way when breastfeeding, not all information is useful or welcome.
That’s why I like Children’s Tylenol Canada’s new Care Share tab over on their Facebook page.

My favorite tip is
Teach your kids manners and courtesy – it was posted on February 20th
I submitted a tip about keeping the soother in the crib only – when they wake up it stays in there – it gets them used to the idea that they don’t need it all the time.
My favorite tip is :
tell them you love them everyday!
My favorite care tip is : Be consistent in everything you do, children thrive on routine.
My favorite Care Share tip is:
Include children’s Tylenol in its original, sealed package in your carry-on luggage or purse when traveling with children to foreign countries. They may require medication on a long flight or it may not be available in the country you are visiting.
I like the suggestion of freezing fruit for teething babies. We’re in the middle of teething hell so I love any new suggestion for my little guy.
Lots of good tips! My favorite that I saw because I would share it myself is to Pick your battles, and don’t sweat the small stuff!

I shared a tip today. When traveling, make sure to have a variety of snacks on hand as you never know how long you might be gone for. It is great to have healthy snacks on hand just in case.

Show some affection with your spouse in front of your children. It shows them an example of love and helps them to learn and understand how to nurture and love others.
