The Other Baby Book and their Blog.

It is a fantastic resource because it has it all: natural birth, baby wearing, baby- led-weaning, co-sleeping, cloth nappies, extended breastfeeding, etc. Not all of it quite worked for us, but it provided  a different perspective and helped to relax and follow my instincts. Looking back I can honestly say that my mistake was to attempt follow everything to the book. Yes, baby-led-weaning is great, but combination of spoon feeding and BLW I think is perfect.  

Here is my favourite article: A Peek Into The Past: Touching Our Babies.

Mommypotamus.

Heather offers a priceless advice on proper nutrition for pregnant women and babies that is supported by her amazing testimony. There you will find great info on homemade beauty care products, delicious and nurturing recipes, natural homemade baby care products, in-depth research on many health issues. I highly recommend to purchase her ebook Nourished Baby.

Holistic Squid.

It is a "go-to" place when it comes to dealing with child's health and using natural methods and remedies. It has so much great, practical info. You will also find a lot of amazing recipes and nutritional advice. 

This article was so useful to us: Lemon Sock for Fever. Dive in!

The Healthy Home Economist.

This is a fantastic source of information on nutritional diet, dental health, recipes and so much more. Here is a great article on Homemade Baby Formula.

Elevating Childcare - Janet Lansbury 
She has a great parenting advice that focuses on free play, setting healthy boundaries and focusing on acknowledging and dealing with child's emotions.

I would love for you to share natural parenting resources and  may be some tips you would like to pass on to new parents!

taking care of self..

- placing two choices of clothes on the shelf may encourage child to start getting dressed on their own and with minimum assistance from adults. 

.

- counting pegs and matching them to the primary colours to help child to correct themselves.



- matching activity with objects that are similar to each other presents a problem solving opportunity for a young child



Storytelling  using loose parts and manipulatives -

- it is very easy to attract attention and make story more fun with colourful setting. I have noticed it makes it easier for young children to remember and recall longer words and difficult names.



Emergent Literacy

- activities like shown below boost interest in learning new words and reinforce using already familiar words in  playful way.




Sensorial 

- stimulating touch and smell using natural objects and learning about different textures. This can be applied for sorting objects on rough and smooth, or large and small;  for I spy games etc.



Fine Motor

- simple transferring activity with natural objects found in the garden is one way to support development of fine motor and concentration.



Chores

- having minor responsibilities around the house from a very young age can be very beneficial for child's self-esteem and another way to build their sense of belonging and confidence.
