Baking Soda is Not Just For Cooking

Baking soda is such a wonderful product because it has many uses other than just cooking. It is also a wonderful cleaner. Mixed with water you can clean counter tops, stoves, and even get out laundry stains.
Most of us know the normal uses for baking soda such as making a paste out of soda and peroxide for brushing our teeth and keeping a box in the refrigerator to keep odors down. But let me tell you about some more uses.
Just two tablespoons mixed in baby’s bath water will relieve diaper rash irritations and making a paste out of baking soda will relieve insect bite pain and itching. It will even relieve the pain of bee stings.
Use soda as a mouthwash and relieve the pain from those awful cancer sores or mix one half teaspoon of it with one half glass of water and drink to get rid of heart burn. The uses are almost unending for this product.
One use for baking soda my mom taught me years ago was to keep it on hand next to the stove for putting out grease fires. I have actually had to use it just for that! Some people also keep some in their garage and boat for the same reason. There is nothing more frightening than fire and having something close to help put it out is important.
Do not forget to keep the odor out of the kitty litter box by sprinkling the bottom of the box with it. Keep experimenting and I know you too will come up with lots of uses for this wonderful, and not to mention cheap, product.

5 Steps to Trimming Tiny Nails
by Russell Cope
Cutting your baby’s fingernails can be challenging in many ways. However, trimmed nails reduces the accidental scratchings to their delicate skin. Here are 5 steps to trimming tiny nails.
1. Clip after bath time. Nails are softer right after a baby has soaked in a tub. Cut them after you have dried them off or better yet, let them fall asleep before doing any trimming.
2. Get a helper. This is a good time to include a brother or sister. Have them hold or perhaps distract the baby by making faces, sounds or any kind of animation. This can be a great bonding time for all.
3. Bring on the lights. A well lit room will ensure no cutting of tiny fingers or toes. Make sure to hold them gently but firmly so they don’t pull away during cutting.
4. Use clippers designed for babies. Baby clippers are inexpensive and make the trimming easier and safer for all involved. If you clip some skin apply pressure if there is blood with a tissue. Don’t use a band aid for they are a choking hazard.
5. File those nails. If you want to just do some filing of nails use an emery board. This is safer and less stressful at times.
Remember to be patient and enjoy every moment with your baby. Trimming nails may seem just another task but it’s these little moments that you can’t get back. Turn around and they are in grade school, high school, college and then children of their own. Cherish each moment with these amazing creations.
