Give the best look for your babies

alleynanders — Thu, 14 May 2009 18:32:33 GMT

As a parent, you always want what is best for your babies. Best clothes, best shoes and accessories are just some of the things that you are wishing for to give to your babies to make them adorable and different from the other. Everything that is stylish in the market, it becomes so attractive to parents that they are eager to grab it and wear it to their babies. Even though all the dress that you have purchased will just be worn by your kids for how many months, it doesn’t matter for as long as you have gave them the trend that what’s right for them. That's why Baby clothing industry is so prominent when it comes to babies goods and needs.

Share your story

Hi all, I just thought I would share my story to get things started here.
I had my only son Braxton June 13 2004. He is now 4 years old.
He was delivered by C-section after 3 hours of me pushing and the doctor attempting to coax him out using the vacumme.
When Braxton turned a year old I received a phone call from the health unit. They were just doing a routine phone call checking to make sure all was well with the baby. This is when they told me that he had failed his hearing test in one ear at birth. This concerned us because my mother in law was deaf in one ear since birth. Braxton was not like the other children his age, language wise. He babbled but had no prominant sounds like mama, dada, baba. I contacted a program in our area called Language Express. Because of Braxton's age he was referred to the Infant Development Program. At age 2 he started with Language Express. This is where a speech therapist came into our home once a week and work on his speech and gave us as parents suggestions. At this point he was referred to the Child Development Program at the hospital in Kingston where we had him assessed.
At age 2 1/2 Braxton was diagnosed as Globally Delayed.

Having a diagnoses is a huge relief and very helpful in getting the help we need.

I think our son may have ADD or ADHD? What are the signs? Should I take him to the doctor or call an association? Help!

I hope you'll be as inspired as I was. There's also info about two special events in the GTA (I apologize to the rest of Canada for posting regional events - just logistics of course).

Starting School and I'm terrified!!

jodimccomb — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 12:37:02 GMT

Braxton will be starting school in September and I'm terrified of how he's going to deal. Would love to find some other parents that are going through or have been through similar experiences. I have questions about the IEP, and the special Ed teacher that will be working with him.
I'm afraid he's going to be teased by the other kids in the school for not talking properly. etc... kids are soo mean!!
