where i read parenting articles

Since my pregnancy until now that I am already a parent, part of my online activity is to read articles regarding parenting from parenting and pregnancy resources.  I would always keep myself updated regarding my pregnancy, then later on it was on the development of my baby, how to answer to their needs, what to expect, how to handle certain situations, how a parent should interact with her child and other parenting-related topics that can help me and my spouse in performing our parenting duties effectively.   I am really thankful that I can learn a lot of things with the help of these websites.  I bought a book on parenting but I haven’t even used it.  I’d rather consult the internet than flip the pages of that book I bought.  One such parenting and pregnancy resource is Gurgle.com.  Whatever you need to know from pregnancy to parenting is there.

Having a baby, I find their article entitled “Communicating with and understanding your baby" helpful in knowing how to respond to my baby’s different signs of emotions from crying to smiling and reading their body language.  It was an interesting read.  I could very much relate the situations mentioned with that of my baby C. And since we plan to take a vacation hopefully next month to Asia where the weather is usually hot, the article "Keeping your baby cool in hot weather“ will be very useful in my preparation.  She might find the sudden change of weather (from Europe’s cold winter to Asia’s almost-summer heat too much to handle.  Now I know how to prevent sunburn, heatstroke, heat rash and other skin problems  from happening when we’re there.

Gurgle also has featured videos on different topics.  Aside from the tip, the video shows how you do it.  For mothers who are bottle-feeding their babies, the video about Sterilising your feeding equipment shows many different ways on how to sterilize the bottles.  It can be done by using a steamer, a microwave, boiling it for 10 minutes or soaking the bottles in a sterile solution which ever way is convenient for you. 

All in all, Gurgle is truly a useful site for parents and would-be parents out there.  It is best to bookmark this site as everyday, we parents will always be faced with different situations.  And a parenting resource is a big help for us!  It’s like having our friend or mother or doctor whom we can ask certain things concerning child-rearing and all that.
