Day 6~confessions

Remeber on Friday when I was complaining about being a little down. well I have a secret to confess. I've actually confessed this before in my 100 things but in case you didn't take the time to read it I will confess it again. I have a mild case of depression and used to take a medication called paxil. When I got pregnant with Alanna my doctor and I decided to see how I could handle things being weaned off of it. I have been off my medication for almost 15 months now. I have had my ups and downs. Chris thinks that I should talk to the doctor about getting back on. I hate the fact that I would have to take medicine every day for the rest of my life inorder to control my feelings. I don;t know if this is my depression getting the better of me or if I am just being a little down with the change in the season and everything that has been going on. Maybe I will wait a few months to see how I am feeling. At least I have a great man to stand by me with all the love and support I need. Thanks Chris, I love you.

I think depression is something a lot of people just don't speak about, and I think that's sad. Good luck.

The Benefits of Mobiles for Infants

When choosing the right mobile for baby cribs, it is important to note that not all mobiles are created equal. All mobiles are designed to help keep your baby busy, but not all are designed to stimulate the development of your child’s mind. When choosing the right mobile, there are a few key factors that every parent should keep in mind.

Many mobiles are designed to be easily matched with a nursery décor. This means soft colors including pastels and other unsaturated hues. While they may look nice, this is not ideal in helping develop your baby’s visual senses. Infants have difficulty seeing soft colors, which means that these mobiles will not be as stimulating as others. When choosing a mobile, look for models that have attachments that are white, black, red, and one or more bright colors. Your child will have a much easier time seeing bright colors and it will help greatly as your child’s vision develops.

A good developmental mobile should also have several moving parts and points of articulation. Mobiles with attachments that allow for more rotations and movements will help your child with spatial relations. Not only that, but these mobiles will also engage your infant for longer periods of time. Even a child can decipher simple movement patterns and become bored, so complex patterns will help them stay occupied longer.

Lastly, look for a mobile that has incorporates audio as well as visual elements. Many mobiles on the market today come equipped with a music box to help entertain, stimulate, and relax your child. The high-end models even let you choose between stimulating or soothing music to help either engage or help relax your baby. The combination of visual and audio elements is the best way to help with the development of an infant and music especially is an essential part of developing a healthy and well adjusted child.
