TENS are commonly used in physical and occupational therapy, especially by people who suffer from chronic pain, such as back pain, dental pain, and even arthritis. TENS units are especially good for back labor; research shows that TENS is most effective when it is started at home in early labor and then continued throughout the labor process. TENS units appeal to people who are planning unmedicated birth as well as those who just want multiple options of pain relief during labor prior to getting an epidural. Therefor renting a unit specifically designed for labor use is the best way to experience a TENS unit.

By preparing the family, you can help your child adjust to necessary change even before you bring the baby home. Include your child in preparing for the baby and allow space for them to practice with their baby too. Purchase a ‘sibling gift’ from the newborn, such as a new baby doll or a sibling T-shirt. Plan a birthday party or celebration of both the baby’s birth and the older children becoming a sibling.
Today, sippy cups are marketed to parents as a vital piece of feeding equipment, causing parents to consider sippy cups an essential part of a baby’s development. At around a year old, babies should develop a mature swallow pattern, where the tongue tip rises to the alveolar ridge (the bumpy gum-line ridges where we produce the /d/ sound) to start a wave-like motion in the tongue for swallowing more advanced textures. When a child uses a “suckle-swallow” pattern past the developmental timeframe of 6 to 12 months, his speech-language skills can’t migrate to more advanced skills until a more appropriate swallowing pattern is established. Once the child masters straw drinking, suggest to parents cutting down the straw so the tip of the straw just reaches the tip of the tongue when the mouth is closed around the straw.
