#Activities: Pic related is the most versatile activity for babies (6m+) and toddlers I've found. Basically:
Step 1: Fill box with paper and hidden toys (alternatively just fill the box with anything)
Step 2. Give box to baby
Step 3: ????
Step 4: Profit

#Healthcare: Paracetamol (Known in the US as Tylenol) is often suggested to be given to infants and kids for mild pains, fever, or teething. It has important drawbacks:
👎 It depletes glutathione production in the liver. Glutathione plays a main role in liver detoxification. Paracetamol is the #2 cause for liver transplant worldwide.
👎 It is an endocrine disruptor - increases the risk for a range of disorders when used in pregnancy.
👎 Usage during early infancy correlates with asthma in later childhood.
👎 Of course, increases likelihood of autism when taken often.
👎For babies, comes with its own artificial flavouring.
So, what can you use instead?
💚 Chamomile - a herbal infusion calms the baby and chamomile granules soothe sore gums.
💚 Yarrow is anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and eliminates mucous in the body. (2 Years+)
💚 Vitamin C - best added to water or milk in the form of acerola cherry powder.
💚 Electrolytes - breast milk, juice with minerals or coconut water do a great job at hydrating your baby.

Extremely interesting thought:
You know how when you’re in a flow state reality becomes more malleable and you can see and feel your potential?
In this expanded state your metabolism is increased and you’re able to be very creative.
You feel very much alive.
It might just so be that babies experience this state naturally due to their extremely high metabolism.
Rather than through drugs, such a child-like state of open/full perception could be restored by increasing exposure to novel situations and freeing yourself from authoritarian minds.

Your Baby Can Read: For those here who allow screen time, I attach a few videos of an old series teaching your child how to read, maybe even before they can speak. The videos play hundreds of spoken and written words. Each multi-sensory, interactive video also includes songs, poems, and a word game segment. The video series is suitable for babies from 6 months to children aged 5 years.

Bilingualism is a remarkable cognitive skill that offers numerous advantages to individuals, particularly those who develop proficiency in more than one language during their formative years.
Bilingualism has also been correlated with an early development of metalinguistic awareness—the capacity to consciously reflect on the essence of language. This, in turn, contributes to the child's advanced comprehension of semiotics, particularly the doctrine of signs, with (as posited by John Locke) words being the most prevalent signs around us. It comes as no surprise that research consistently supports the proposition that bilingual children tend to exhibit superior cognitive control compared to their monolingual counterparts.
To authentically hope for bilingualism in our baby, we need to spend around 30% of the week speaking the language that we hope they will use.

Answers to some common questions about bilingualism taken from a book by Colin Baker - A teachers and parents guide to Bilingualism.
1. Is it better to develop two languages together or one language later than the other?
2. Is it better for my child to learn a language early to secure better storage in the brain?
3. Will learning a second language interfere with the development of the first language?

Maybe a few of you have noticed, I've definitely slowed down this week and it's not just because of Christmas. The reason is, I've been fighting with web hosting services, who, as stories have it, have deactivated my almost-complete website with no explanation or warning. Either way, took me making a website from scratch 3 or 4 times for it to finally stay up but it's finally up for good (hopefully).

Studies: Soy formula is filling babies with harmful xenoestrogens.
- Xenoestrogens have a much bigger impact on babies than adults.
- Soy formula contains such a high concentration of xenoestrogens that it alters the physical development of babies.
"Relative to girls fed cow-milk formula, those fed soy formula demonstrated tissue- and organ-level developmental trajectories consistent with response to exogenous estrogen exposure." Source
"The daily exposure of infants to isoflavones in soy infant-formulas is 6-11 fold higher on a bodyweight basis than the dose that has hormonal effects in adults consuming soy foods."
"Circulating concentrations of isoflavones in the seven infants fed soy-based formula were 13000-22000 times higher than plasma oestradiol concentrations in early life, and may be sufficient to exert biological effects, whereas the contribution of isoflavones from breast-milk and cow-milk is negligible."
