When I was in preschool, I hated taking a bath. I feel that it’s taking too much of my so called “precious playing time”. My mom has to bribe me with stuff so that I’ll go inside the bathroom, but sometimes it really doesn’t work.

So now, I’ll give all the parents out there some few tips to make your child enjoy taking a bath.

• Some kids are naturally afraid of water. So try to covert their fears into something fun. Bubbles make all kids crazy! try making bubbles with your little ones. Be creative, use your hands or maybe sticks with holes on it.  I’m sure they’ll look forward to your next bathing session.
• Use soap and shampoo that won’t hurt their eyes. I’ll assure you that that there will be less crying time.
• Tub toys are welcome during their bathing time. They will surely enjoy the squeaky sounds. If  they want to bring their own toys (doll, barbie, robot etc.) Let them!. You can wash your child’s hair and let them do it with their toys. The next time you bathe your child, ask him what’s the first thing you should do. Before you know it, your kid knows how to take a bath my himself.
• Taking a bath should be fun for kids. No pressure just pure fun.

You see bathing your child is as easy as 123. Make your child enjoy it with you. You’ll see when they grow up, they’d always remember how you’ve been such a fun mommy and daddy to them.  Here are some squeaky tub toys that will make your bath time more enjoyable.These cute bath toys will make your child’s bathing time worthwhile. You can also use these toys to teach them the different kinds of animals and also the sounds that they make.

Bath time!

A new trend in plastic surgery is offering mothers a chance to regain their pre-baby bodies. The “mommy makeover,” a trifecta of surgeries, is gaining popularity across the nation and here in Oklahoma.

A mommy makeover often consists of a breast augmentation or a breast lift, a tummy tuck and liposuction. Last year, doctors nationwide performed more than 325,000 mommy makeover procedures on women ages 20 to 39, up 11 percent from 2005, according to information from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

Plastic surgeon Dr. Juan Brou, whose practice is based in Oklahoma City, said he has also seen a rise in mothers seeking these types of procedures.

Tummy tucks are another common procedure that can eliminate both stretch marks and a condition known as diastasis. Diastasis occurs when a woman’s abdominal muscles become separated, which sometimes happens in women who are carrying large babies. This condition leaves a woman with a lower tummy that cannot be exercised away.

Brou pointed out that it is important for women considering having their own mommy makeover to be sure they don’t intend to get pregnant again.
