While the kids are sleeping, their body can produce up to 3x growth hormones, but is always dependent on how peaceful and the amount of time the baby is asleep.

When a baby entered deep sleep stage, the highest amount of growth hormones are released. So if your has a better and deeper sleep, the MORE growth hormones are released! And what you must know, growth hormones are at its best production stage during the early life. The best gift you can give to your baby is to maximize the release of growth hormones on her body and that is by providing her a better and deeper sleep.

So how much sleep does the kid needs?

Although every kid has different needs, below are some guidelines on how much sleep a kid need:

If your kid’s sleep stat is close to the above stats, rest assured as your baby is getting enough sleep, but if not, you certainly need to help your kids attain a good night sleep. So what can we do?

First let us define what is a GOOD NIGHT SLEEP. so I would like to share with you The ABC of Better Baby Sleep.

A regular bedtime routine
Be in bed before 9PM
Children should fall to sleep on their own.

It is very interesting to note how a bedtime routine can reduce the length of time needed to fall sleep. It can also reduced the times the baby awakes at night and even so the time needed to make the baby sleep again. The best part about it is baby’s sleep time increased and Mom’s anxiety and tension reduced to more than 50%!

And yes, the routine, the solution to our bedroom battle.. It is so easy and so fun to do.. for sure you will love this routine and will look forward to it everyday… and your kids will have the benefit of growing bigger and growing closer to your.

Johnson’s Baby Bedtime Routine has 3 steps.

Step 1 Warm Bath

Using JOHNSON´S^® Baby Bedtime Bath, set the mood by giving the baby a warm bath. I this routine will be established, it will indicate or it will be a sign that it is already their bedtime. A warm bath can relax their body and you too can enjoy this by being a bit playful to your kid. If you are not sure how warm the water should be, try testing the water using your elbow. If it is too hot for your elbow, then it is too hot for the kids.

I have nothing against the use of gun but I am also not encouraging it. To me, if people can be responsible on owning one, then go. And if is not, well, there’s the law to punish their actions. So when someone asked me if I where to find gun parts on the net, I have no idea. And if you are wondering why I am writing about guns here, you must know that I have a curiosity the curiosity that killed the cat. I juts have to know and learn about guns.

I am not familiar with any gun parts, and the first one I saw was AR15 Magazine. I have learned that in order for its spring to be less corrosive, the producer need to use stainless steel. Although carbon steels are better when we talk about storage and resistance, stainless steel has been tested to be a fine spring too. But when you talk about reloading supplies, there is so much to talk about. There are reloading kits, reloading dies, reloading presses and a lot more.

So I still have a lot to learn about. I also want to know how gun use are being treated to our country and to other parts of the world. And though I have nothing against it, I want to know the pros and cons of existing gun laws.

How about you guys, any idea about this?

If you have entered a phase in your life where you feel you want to date, first take a minute to figure out why you want to and what it is, exactly, that you want at this point. If you have gotten out of and healed from a very long or otherwise serious relationship, maybe you want to keep things casual, social, and fun. If you end up seeing someone who wants something serious and intense immediately, you two will both make each other miserable. Perhaps you have gotten clear about exactly what attributes are important to you in a life long partnership and are ready to start the process of finding a compatible mate. If so, you want to make sure that anyone you develop an infatuation with has those attributes and holds the same fundamental values that you do. Starting with a clear game plan will ensure your much faster success.

Online dating has become one of the best ways to find love. You will need to set up a profile that accurately portrays you in a flattering, but honest light. Your photograph should be flattering and natural. Ask friends and loved ones for their feedback on your photo and profile to see that it communicates what you intend.

If you receive a lot of queries that seem very similar but from many different people (and you don’t like the assumptions that they are making), you may have inadvertently communicated something in your profile that would make people think that you would respond positively to that. Take a closer look at your profile and scrutinize where multiple people would get that impression about you. If you discover that you are portraying a less serious profile but don’t want to change it, maybe you are subconsciously protecting yourself from a relationship. Study your own cues so you can get exactly what you want.
