Naresh Agarwal, who joined the faculty in Fall 2009, earned his doctorate from the National University of Singapore (NUS)'s Department of Information Systems, School of Computing. His teaching areas are evaluation of information services, technology for information professionals, web development & information architecture, and knowledge management. Agarwal's research area is information behavior and knowledge management – the way people look for information and the contextual factors that impact their choice of information sources. He seeks to understand and synthesize the apparent contradictions in this phenomenon and tries to reconcile multiple perspectives – the user (context, seeking, sense-making, serendipity) versus systems/technology, theoretical and empirical studies, and a variety of contexts - office workers, medical residents, LIS students, faculty, librarians, toddlers, etc. His publications span these areas. Agarwal has held various leadership positions at ASIS&T - the Association for Information Science and Technology. He was a member of the ASIS&T Board of Directors from 2012-2014. Agarwal was awarded the ASIS&T James M. Cretsos Leadership Award in 2012. Prior to entering the doctoral program at NUS, he worked for six years in technology roles in the voice-over-IP, bioInformatics and digital cinema industries. Among other things, Agarwal has been a debater and public speaker and likes to paint in oil and watercolor in his free time. You can learn more about him at http://www.nareshagarwal.co.nr/.
Naresh Agarwal's Curriculum Vitae
I am a Professor of Spanish Language and Literatures as well as Director of the Honors Program. I wrote a doctoral dissertation on drama, the emergence of comedy, in 16th-century Spain with an emphasis on the comedia of Lope de Vega. Soon after this, I turned to the other face of Spanish theatre: the famous wife-murder plays of Lope de Vega and Pedro Calderón de la Barca and from there to violence (state violence as well as violence against women) in Latin American and Spanish literature.
Violence took me directly to Latin American experiences of the 60s - 90s to see how literature and film attempted to make sense of political upheaval and state violations of human rights. I also examined how personal writings—autobiography, essays, interviews—by members of guerrilla movements explained and framed their participation and use of violence to bring about social change. My particular interest was, and remains, in how women joined these forces and how they explain their experiences as gendered (or not).
Interest in social movements took me from Latin American guerrilla organizations to U.S. social movements. I was given the opportunity to teach Roots of Feminism in the WGST program. Soon after, I joined Reacting to the Past, a group of historians and political scientists centered at Barnard College who design role-playing games for college courses in a variety of fields. I saw that their approach was one that would ideally suit the Roots course, except that I was going to have to write it myself. So I did. Greenwich Village 1913: Suffrage, Labor and the New Woman has now been featured at many national conferences and is played in universities throughout the United States.
Dr. Gurney is an expert in the field of Green Chemistry Education, where he has been actively developing curricula for the past 13 years. He focuses his teaching and research on the applications of green chemistry and finding solutions for everyday problems using materials that are "benign by design." As the Principle Investigator and Director of the Undergraduate Laboratory Renaissance Program, funded in part by the W. M. Keck Foundation and the National Science Foundation, Dr. Gurney is currently studying the effectiveness of an entirely project-based, research-integrated, greener organic chemistry laboratory experience as one component of a completely re-engineered, undergraduate, green-laboratory curriculum. The ULR Program encompasses a fundamental reengineering of the undergraduate laboratory curriculum using the principles of green chemistry to expose students to the excitement of research beginning in their first-semester of their undergraduate career. The integrity of the knowledge learned within the ULR laboratory sequence has been maintained, while providing an environment for students to hone their higher-order cognitive skills such as analysis, synthesis and evaluation. From 2008 – 2013, the W. M. Keck Foundation supported the effort to expand this pedagogy to course-based laboratories not only in Chemistry, but also in Physics and Biology, with a total of 9 faculty participants. Dr. Gurney is also highly active in the development of greener polymeric systems capable of closed-loop molecular recycling, in collaboration with Dr. Debora Martino at INTEC (Instituto de Desarrollo Tecnológico para la Industria Química) and the Universidad Nacional del Litoral, Santa Fe, Argentina. Funding in part to support undergraduate participation in this collaboration and research has been provided by the (Universidad Nacional del Litoral, Argentina (CAI+D Tipo II PI 11-57), CONICET (PIP 112-200801-01079 and D-1280/2011) Argentina, the NSF OISE (#1031394), the Semiconductor Research Corporation Educational Alliance-Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program, and the Presidential Fund for Faculty Excellence at Simmons College for the financial support. Dr. Gurney is one of the 16 founding members of the Green Chemistry Education Network and one of the ten founding faculty Board Members for the Green Chemistry Commitment.
Alister Inglis is the Freeman Associate Professor of Chinese Language and Literature. Prior to joining Simmons, he taught at the University of Melbourne, Australia.
His research focuses on Chinese traditional short stories of the Song (960-1276) and Yuan (1276-1368) dynasties. Inglis is best known for his translations of classical Chinese literature and also for his extensive research on Hong Mai's (1123-1202) Record of the Listener (Yijian zhi). This famous twelfth century text has become an essential primary source for historians conducting research on twelfth century society given the attention its short narratives pay to the lives of ordinary people; i.e., material that is often ignored by official history. Inglis' first monograph, Hong Mai's Record of the Listener and its Song Dynasty Context (NY: SUNY Press, 2006), is the first monograph-length study in English about this famous text.
Inglis is furthermore interested in fine art and practices various styles of Chinese calligraphy. He specializes in the "slender-gold" script which was made famous by emperor Huizong (r. 1100-1126) of the Song dynasty.

I started my own college education as a pre-med major. (Guess what my parents did.) In my second semester, I discovered economics, and I've been a student of economic systems ever since. I continue to be fascinated by the dynamics that subject the economy to instability and even crisis; competing economic theories, from those that celebrate market outcomes to those that problematize class; economics as a window into social justice issues; and education reform movements as reflections of economic priorities. While I did not become a physician, I have devoted my life to studying the physiology and metabolic system of an important patient: the economy.
I love teaching as a craft, as a way to inspire students, and as a way to be inspired by students and colleagues. The classroom is a sanctuary, and time preparing for class and helping students pursue their own research is precious. Teaching extends to working one-on-one with students during office hours and engaging in intellectual play with the Economics Student Liaison (similar to economics "clubs" at other institutions). I also take great pleasure in advising students, which for me means helping them (1) discover their passions, (2) figure out what difference they want to make in the world and how to prepare to make that difference, and (3) navigate Simmons and Boston to get to most out of their college experience.
As an undergraduate at Mount Holyoke College (BA '81) Cathie Mercier was drawn to the scientific emphasis and empiricism of experimental psychology. A psychology major, she did not take her first course in children's literature until her senior year. "Like Alice, I fell down the rabbit hole and I've yet to come up," said Mercier.
Cathie brought the taut writing style and analytical sensibility required of psychology to the study of literature for children and young adults. She completed her Master of Arts degree in Children's Literature in 1984; in 1993 she earned a Master of Philosophy in English at Simmons as a steppingstone to her doctoral studies. She pursued doctoral work in the University Professors Program at Boston University ('02) where she wrote about the confluence of social movements and images of the child in American picturebooks. She holds a PhD in Children's Literature.
Cathie was appointed to Simmons in 1985 and has been teaching in the graduate degree program in children's literature ever since. She teaches criticism, contemporary young adult realism, the child in fiction, the picturebook and a survey course. Her thesis, independent study, and internship advising embrace a wide range of topics, from a cultural analysis of Printz titles to an annotated bibliography of historical fiction for curricular use. "As advisor of a thesis that asked, 'What can queer theory tell children's literature?' I met regularly with the student to discuss ideas. We both learned from the books, and I hope she learned from me. But I consider it my best teaching experience because of how very much I learned from her," said Mercier, who was thrilled when part of her student's thesis was included in a book of new voices in children's literary criticism.
In the undergraduate curriculum, she taught children's literature as a key focus in her honors seminar titled "Stories of Childhood," a course that was part of a learning community that paired with Economics professor Niloufer Sohrabji's course "Stories of Democracy." She won the Dean's Award for Excellence in Academic Advising.
At Simmons, Cathie has served in a variety of administrative roles. Currently, she directs the Center for the Study of Children's Literature,the graduate degree programs in the Master of Arts in Children's Literature, the Master of Fine Arts in Writing for Children (on-campus and at The Eric Carle Museum in Amherst, MA), and dual degree programs that combine the MA with degrees in library science, or teaching, or writing for children.
Cathie has been contributed to Children's Literature and to The Horn Book. Her skill at "close reading, an ability to talk about books so that others see the book at its most ambitious and complex, and a talent for collaboration" have made her a valuable member of national book award committee. She currently serves on the Subaru Prize Committee of the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences/ Young Adult Division.
Past award selection service includes the 2012 Caldecott Award (Ball for Daisy), 1999 Newbery Award Committee (Holes), the 1994 Caldecott Award (Grandfather's Journey), and the inaugural 2000 Sibert Award Committee (Sir Walter Ralegh and the Quest for El Dorado). Cathie was honored to serve Chair of the 2009 Laura Ingalls Wilder Award Committee (Ashley Bryan) and as Chair of the 2004 Sibert Award Committee (The American Plague). She has twice been a member (once chairing) the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award and served as a judge for the New York Times Best Illustrated Books.
Cathie completed her third study of an important young adult author with co-writer Susan Bloom; it also marks their third book with editor Patty Campbell. Russell Freedman was published in 2009 by Scarecrow Press and will be the first book at Scarecrow to focus on nonfiction. Prior collaborations are Presenting Avi and Presenting Zibby Oneal. These books and their audience of teachers, librarians, and young adults fit perfectly into Cathie's driving belief that the "work of the critic is not to 'take apart' a book, but to read well and deeply enough to offer insight and illumination to the text and to oneself."

Dr. Katherine Paton's Ratings
Like many of the others who have reviewed Dr. Paton I have been her patient for about 20 years now. As a doctor she is definitely worth the wait. However I am in agreement that the current receptionist has demonstrated her incompetence and hostility and an unnecessary level of attitude to the point of being quite mean to me on every occasion. I have had appointments that I was unaware of and appointments cancelled and not re-booked till months later or re-booked without my knowledge. This is very frustrating being without treatment for visual issues - as the patients including myself should be treated with at the least some level of respect.

Doctor Paton's wait times may be long, but totally worth it. She definitely shows compassion and care for her patients. Grace though not really a warm and fuzzy receptionist, gets her job done and takes care of business.

I have been seeing Dr. Paton since I was 12 years old and am now 31 and have nothing but good things to say about her an her staff! She works hard for her patients which means her admin lady has to work even harder! So cut her some slack. The wait time has always been 1 1/2 to 3 hours long however it's worth it. Dr. Paton is a doctor to go to. So i suggest you bring a book or listen to some music or take a nap while waiting or better yet check in with the admin lady, ask how long its going to be (which will be 45 min or so) and go to broadway and get a coffee or go to london drugs.

Be prepared for a 3 hour wait. The receptionist has no compassion and is brimming with hostility. I think Dr. Patton is very good but the wait times and the way you get treated are inecusable.

I waited in the reception area yesterday for about 6 hours for Dr. Paton. There were about 10 of us waiting and confused. It truly would have gone a long way if either the receptionist or secretary had given us an update. Both very rude and made it very clear any contact was an inconvenience. When Dr. Paton made it in she was VERY professional and thorough. Apologized for the delay and did not make me feel rushed.....it's a shame her staff is so rude.

As I write this I am in Dr. Paton ' s reception area. Her secretary Grace Uy is incompetent with the personality of a bag of hammers. My appointment was set a month ago with my referral. Grace called me two weeks later quoting a different day on her message. I called back to confirm and she told me I may have been double booked, but she doesn't know? Told me everything is manually booked and not computerized? !? Saito I should just come in on my originally scheduled date. My appointment was 8:30am so I took the day off work and bussed it to be here by 8:15. Grace brings me to her desk and with no apology or emotion tells me "somebody screwed up" and the Dr. cannot see me till 11:30. After and awkward silence as I'm waiting for more info I get up and go sit in the waiting area. I have heard nothing but good things about Dr. Paton, but she needs to fire her secretary. From what I have seen she likely is why patients have such long wait times.

I was referred to Dr. Paton by my regular ophthalmoligist because of an anomaly noted after eye surgery. Yes the waits can be long at the eye clinic but eye problems are not simple to diagnose or treat with a few comforting words or pills. All the diagnostic procedures are done at the eye clinic and it all takes time. I have never seen a medical facility so busy as this eye center is. I travel form out of town to see doctor Paton and all my tests in various deptments then seeing Dr. Paton have been done in the same day. On my last visit surgery was decided upon and done by Dr. Paton within 1/2 hour of her deciding it needed to be done to reduce the chance of a more serious problem developing. So this puts her behind and backs up the patients waiting. Patients of Dr. Paton or any other Ophthalmologist need to understand their professional servises can not be offered on a set timetable. As for her staff, I find them very helpful and friendly. When I read these other reviews and see the negatative commnets All I can say " Get a Life' and complain about that really matters.

Wait times are inexcusable. I go for a consult once every year, specifically ask for the first appointment of the day and always wait a minimum of 3 hours. Sometimes closer to 5. The receptionist is also terribly rude. Otherwise, Dr. Patton herself is very friendly and seems knowledgeable.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][2566024].votes_count ]]
I feel Dr. Paton is essentially a good doctor, however the wait for each appointment can be 1-3 HOURS!! I have seen her twice and she never sent a consult letter to my GP from either visit. My GP's office requested the consult with no response and I contacted the office myself intermittently for TWO YEARS requesting the consult letter be sent to my GP and each time I was always told "she's behind in dictation" WHAT 2 years behind! This caused me additional antibiotic treatment since my GP had no information on me and when he retired there was no information to pass on to my new GP. My new GP said it often takes them up to six months to get requested information from that office. (If only it only took six months!!) To date approxomately 3 years later they have not sent any information on me. If they lost my entire file they should admit such...... I am afraid to go back there due to the very long wait in the waiting room and lack of correspondance of my condition with my doctor. Otherwise I would have found her to be a good doctor and very knowledgeable.

Flash Media Player3.8
editor's review
buy now $29.95
Flash Media Player is a program with a pretty self-explanatory name - it allows you to play Flash animations (SWF and EXE). The tool can be easily handled, even by less experienced users.
The app comes with a user-friendly interface where you can locate and play a video by using either the file browser or Explorer-based layout (view the name, format, size and date of creation for each item).
Flash Media Player includes basic media player functions, such as pause and stop; you can navigate back and forth through the clip, adjust the volume and jump forward or backward, as well as switch to full screen mode and zoom in and out.
Furthermore, you can copy files to another directory and set Flash Media Player to overwrite existing items, rename videos, create a favorites list, as well as sort files by name, size or creation time.
Flash Media Player comes with some extra tools that focus on video processing. For instance, you can convert files from and to the SWF or EXE format. But you can also download Flash movies from the online environment, take snapshots and set images as wallpaper, as well as create screensavers.
The tool contains user documentation and needs a pretty high amount of system resources to work properly. But we haven't come across error dialogs during our tests; Flash Media Player did not freeze or crash. No recent updates have been made. Even so, the piece of software provides some powerful and easy to-to-use tools for Flash files.

We made a 2.5 hour journey to Four Corners, which is where the borders of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah meet. So essentially, you are in 4 states at once when standing on the perfect spot! We waited in line to take our picture, and eventually, we made it to the front of the line and took a picture ...

TV and Movie
If you don't want to dress up as a traditional Halloween character for your next Halloween event or theme party, then you definitely want to take a look at our awesome collection of women's TV and movie costumes and accessories. We have a wide variety of items that are inspired by feature films and television programs, so you can transform yourself into a bunch of different characters that everybody will recognize.
Superman/Supergirl Zentai Skinsuit Unisex Adult Costume
Women's Classic Star Trek Red Dress
Mary Anna Gilligan's Island Costume for Women
Sexy Arachnid Babe Women's Costume
Sexy Little Miss Supreme Beauty Pageant Costume for Women
Sexy Bundy Housewife Women's Costume
Women's Sexy Jessie Toy Story Costume
Disney's Frozen Elsa Ultra Prestige Costume for Adults
Top Gun Flight Suit Sexy Adult Costume
Adult Angry Birds Black Bird Sassy Costume for Women

Of course, television and movie costumes include a wide range of outfits and characters. This means that you can dress up as almost anything you want, including scary, seductive, cute, or just flat out silly. Some of the outfits in this category manage to combine several of those elements, and if you find one that incorporates all four, you might have hit the jackpot. If you want to be cute or silly, you can check out some of the outfits for characters from children's shows and cartoons. We even have some characters from old cartoons such as The Flintstones, Popeye, and Hello Kitty.
You can dress up as Smurfette if you want to be adorable, or you can dress up as one of the popular Disney princesses if you want to realize your childhood dreams. Choose your favorite princess from characters such as Snow White, Cinderella, Ariel from The Little Mermaid, and Belle from Beauty and the Beast. You can also dress up as a character from superhero movies such as Man of Steel, Iron Man, and the Batman series. For example, we have Batgirl items as well as Catwoman costumes that are both intimidating and sexy. If you would prefer dressing up as a celebrity such as Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, or Marilyn Monroe, we have outfits for that, too.

Free standing and rust-proof they can be placed anywhere. These are difficult sculptures to portray in photos alone but I'll attempt to do it with words too. The 'head' of the hampton is mounted onto a two-part pole with a forked base so can easily be trodden into the grass or border. The spinner takes only the slightest breeze to start giving movement, this is usually by the 'sails' starting to spin. As the wind continues the head will turn into that direction and then both rows of tulip shaped flowers will be spinning in opposite directions. In gentle gusts they turn about, spinning and dancing so they don't need constant wind or for it all to come from one direction. The 'sails' turn on bearing runners which need no maintainance and are almost silent in use. made from: Multiple metal construction, powder coated for long lasting, rust-proof use. dimensions: Approximate overall size is 125cm high, 43cm wide, 22cm deep. product code: 257434 This product is dispatched to you by Home Farm Fowls.

Though I'm sure I'm going to be missing my comfy bed once I get on the plane and try to get a good night's sleep, it sucks that the flight is so late at night (11pm).

We arrived at Siesta Key and decided to park up and have a drink while we pondered the accommodation options.

WinFIG is a CAD software tool that provides users with a familiar workspace and intuitive tools for creating drawings using arcs, polygons, splines, ellipses, and more.
Quick setup and familiar GUI
Installing the app is a fast and easy task. As previously mentioned, the interface is user-friendly and resembles similar CAD products. However, WinFIG does not put too much emphasis on visual appeal.
Rich toolbox with configuration settings
The toolbox lets users create circles and ellipses by specifying the radius or diameter, splines or closed splines by setting the control points, along with interpolated or closed interpolated splines, in addition to rectangulars, polygons, polylines and arcs.
It is also possible to add text, arrow heads, pictures from files, together with tangents and normals to shapes, flip or rotate objects in the drawing, and so on. Each shape comes with its own set of attributes which can be later configured. For example, it is possible to adjust the depth, line width, line style and colors (among others) for rectangulars.
Create smart links between objects
Any mistakes can be undone and later redone. What's more, the app includes a feature that automatically looks for possible connections between objects to create smart links. Users may view a color palette, modify grid and metrics options (e.g. zoom and scaling, rules), as well as view object libraries. Projects can be exported to a wide array of file types, including Bitmap, Gerber, Metafile, PDF, EPS and SVG.
Evaluation and conclusion
The application has a good response time and minimal impact on CPU and RAM. We have not come across any unpleasant surprises throughout our evaluation, since it did not freeze, crash or pop up error messages. All in all, WinFIG comes packed with some handy features for creating CAD drawings.

The Recruitment and Retention Specialist will work closely with the Project Director to plan and conduct recruitment activities. Main duties will include: serving as a liaison to venues frequented by Black and Latino MSM and document contacts with recruitment venues; developing and executing a schedule of recruitment activities and documenting all recruitment events including date, time, and location and number of contacts made; managing social media accounts; co-facilitating trainings of peer recruiters; and developing and maintaining relationships with enrolled peer recruiters for retention and to provide support to peer recruiters as needed.

Not all babies are the same, so it should come as no surprise that whatever your little one finds yummy may differ from other newborns. Huggies answers your questions and provides some food for thought when it comes to feeding your baby.
Or try browsing all categories.
"The campaign of 'Breast is Best' has been amazingly successful and more moms than ever are breastfeeding their babies," says Dr. Daniel Brennan, Santa Barbara Cottage Children's Hospital. "Babies benefit from receiving germ fighting antibodies from mom's milk, so even 'part-time' nursing can be beneficial."
Knowing all the advantages breastfeeding can bring, it may be even harder to break the tie. But take heart. "Weaning is a natural part of a breastfeeding relationship," says Stacey H. Rubin, MN, APRN, IBCLC. "Weaning is a process that begins when a baby is introduced to solid foods that complement breast milk in the baby's diet."
Making a plan to wean from breastfeeding varies from baby to baby. The simple answer from Dr. Brennan is, "Nurse as long as you can." Looking for a more definite timetable? According to the UCSF Children's Hospital, the rule of thumb is if you're breastfeeding for more than nine months, go straight to a cup; breastfeeding less than that or not at all, shift to a bottle before a cup.
Ready to say bye-bye to breastfeeding? Dr. Brennan offers, "My experience is that most babies will wean themselves over time as their interest in solid foods increases. I usually recommend that a mom who needs to wean before her baby starts to self-wean should try to eliminate one feeding at a time, taking their least favorite time to nurse and offering the baby a bottle or solid food."
Remember the key word in weaning is gradual; taking it at a pace that is least disruptive and most emotionally beneficial for you and your child will ultimately give you the most success in reducing dependency on breastfeeding.
The debate over the binky, or pacifier, is clearly defined. Some say pacifiers should be avoided at all costs, while others celebrate their soothing abilities. If you're one of the parents who have chosen to be binky-bound, knowing how to eventually end binky usage should be part of the plan.
Experts offer that pacifiers used with children beyond a certain age can delay speech development and interfere with teeth alignment. But, with balance between binky time and non-binky time, the decision to use a pacifier is a parental one.
When binky-loving babies reach one year old, aiming to break the binky-bond is ideally best when synchronized with increasing usage of a cup, but every toddler is different. If you can aim to chuck the pacifier around age one, and before age four, you may be able to avoid any dental development issues, which will occur around age five if the binky is still in play.
Easier said than done? If you've ever met a toddler who loves her binky, you'll know that it's going to take more than a plan to part ways with the pacifier. A successful method has been to limit binky time to sleep time, or only in certain places, like the crib. Eventually, the dependence on this pacifying plug will be a thing of the past, if you're lucky. Parents of toddlers who are having a harder time saying farewell to the pacifier may need to get creative, from having the "binky fairy" coming and taking the binky one night and leaving a prize behind, to rewarding their sweetie pie each time they choose to venture out without one.
Whether you choose to skip the bottle when you stop breastfeeding or transition slowly from bottle to cup, bidding adieu to the bottle is tougher for some toddlers than others. Weaning your princess from the bottle is important because delay in doing so negatively affects teeth health, interferes with the intake of other foods and may affect their eating habits during these vital growing years.
According to the UCSF Children's Hospital, a baby is ready for a cup when she can sit on her own, eat from a spoon, has a mealtime routine and shows an interest in solid foods. This could be at six months or between 12 and 18 months, depending on which method you choose. Whether you choose the path straight from breastfeeding or go from breast to bottle, the goal is to get your sweet pea sipping from a cup.
Weaning is both an emotional and developmental progression, be it from the breast, binky or bottle. Remember to take baby steps when teaching your tiny tot about the next stage in her growth; neither baby nor parents need to be rushed. Even when weaning is hard, it's helping her grow to be a more independent toddler. Before you know it, you'll be moving on to the next exciting milestone!

With my third baby just starting real foods, I'm remembering how messy and delightful those early attempts at eating are.
The first few times, she just had no idea what to do with food, but now she's getting the hang of it and when she sees us eating without her, she gets a little frantic, exercising her little lungs and waving her arms around to let us know, "I want some of that too!"
Since little eaters can get stickier than Pooh with a hunny pot, you'll want to make sure you're prepped for breakfast, lunch, or dinnertime to keep things from getting too messy!
1. A high chair you can easily clean.
It's magical how much mess a single raspberry can make, so I highly recommend a high chair that can be wiped down with a sponge. You don't want to be remembering three kids later that first experience with peas thanks to a stained high chair.
2. A waterproof bib.
When I was going through my baby things before my third daughter was born, I only saved the waterproof bibs. Ones that you can spray down in the sink and are dry a minute or two later with zero staining are the way to go!
3. Baby silverware.
Since I don't want to be spoonfeeding my child forever, I like to give them practice early on with silverware that they can handle on their own. Plus, regular silverware is just too big for those little mouths, so I've loved having a few sets of child-size utensils.
4. A splash mat.
If you have flooring that doesn't easily wipe up (like the carpet we had in our dining room for our first two children – that apartment was obviously designed by someone without small children!), you'll want some sort of splash mat to go under the high chair so your carpet doesn't get immediately ruined with the first forays into eating. And my advice? There's no such thing as too big when it comes to picking out a size for that mat.
5. Stain remover.
Guaranteed that, despite your best efforts, your child will somehow manage to smear food on their clothing. I keep a bottle of stain remover handy and immediately spray down any clothing that's gotten dirty so that it doesn't stain my favorite little outfits.
6. Your phone to record it all.
The video of my oldest daughter tasting some vinegary salad is still one of my favorites as she shakes her head in surprise and then opens wide for another bite. These moments are priceless!
Moving into table foods is such an exciting transition for both of you – there's nothing like watching them figure out how to move their little tongues and lighting up when they particularly like something.
And with the right tools to keep it from being a huge mess, you might even share dessert.

Help your child avoid asthma triggers — allergens or irritants in the environment that can trigger asthma symptoms — by, first, identifying what those triggers are. Then, reduce your child's exposure to them as much as possible.
Asthma triggers can include:
Each child may have a different set of asthma triggers, so it's important to know what your child is susceptible to. Consider getting an allergy skin test, which can pinpoint specific allergy triggers.
It may also help to monitor activities and symptoms in a daily diary, so you can identify environmental or activity-related triggers that make your child's asthma worse.
If pollen, dust mites and pet dander are among your child's asthma triggers:
If certain activities and emotions trigger your child's asthma:

"Have the video camera ready! It's the first time they will ever eat food, and you can't forget that moment ever! One of my favorite moments of motherhood was watching them do and try all of their firsts!" – Holly H.

It's time to feed your toddler! And that probably means it's also time to break out the mop, since toddlers aren't only notoriously messy eaters, but to top things off, many love throwing their food on the floor. And the more you tell them to stop, the more it happens. Your frustration grows at about the same rate as the mess.
Yet experts say that toddlers throw food not to drive you crazy, but because experimenting with the world around them is ingrained in their DNA.
"This is normal and healthy behavior," says Bette Alkazian, a family therapist and parenting coach in southern California. "Toddlers throw things on the floor to learn so many things, like that gravity is predictable. They watch our behavior and see that we, too, are predictable. This repetition helps their brain synapses to grow and connect."
So every Cheerio your toddler tosses to the floor is teaching him important laws of physics. Meanwhile, the annoyed face you make every time he does it is teaching him what makes humans tick. That said, this doesn't mean you have to just put up with mealtime mess.
What's the most annoying thing your toddler does?

If you're concerned about your baby's weight, consult your baby's doctor. Growth, development and weight are great topics to discuss during routine well-baby exams.
During infancy, the doctor will plot your baby's growth on charts that show weight for length. Later, your baby's doctor will calculate your child's BMI. You can use the charts to track your child's growth trend and to compare your baby's growth with that of other infants of the same sex and age. According to the World Health Organization growth charts, a baby with a weight-for-length greater than the 98th percentile is considered to have a high weight for length.
Remember, babies need a diet high in fat to support growth during infancy. A baby who's exclusively breast-fed gets about half of his or her daily calories from the fat in breast milk. As a result, caloric restrictions aimed at reducing weight are not recommended for babies age 2 and under.
Excess fat and calories can still be a concern, though. For example, being too heavy can delay crawling and walking — essential parts of a baby's physical and mental development. While a large baby may not become an overweight child, a child who is obese often remains obese as an adult.
As your child gets older, continue talking to his or her doctor about weight and nutrition. For additional guidance, you might consult a registered dietitian as well.

My 2-year-old is a fantastic eater, and he's been one since we started solid foods when he was 4 months old. I'm not saying this to brag, I'm saying it because even though he loves food and isn't the least bit picky, toddlerhood has brought with it a few eating challenges. Once babies become mobile, I think mealtime frustrations are a fact of life. Here are some feeding challenges you're likely to encounter with your toddler, along with my real mom tips on how to get through them.
First off, I'm a firm believer that if you start your child off right from the time they can eat table food, you'll reap the benefits as they enter into toddlerhood. That means, barring any allergy issues, you should make family meals a priority, model healthy eating practices and serve your kids either the exact meal you're eating or an age-appropriate variation of the same meal. Your toddler doesn't need to eat "kid food," like chicken nuggets and boxed mac and cheese.

Many factors can trigger a breast-feeding strike — when a baby refuses to breast-feed for a period of time after breast-feeding well for months. Typically, the baby is trying to tell you that something isn't quite right.
During a breast-feeding strike, your baby might appear happy to go to your breast — but then act disinterested or start to cry. Sometimes a breast-feeding strike happens suddenly. In other cases, a strike begins gradually.
Common causes of a breast-feeding strike include:
Keep in mind that if your baby goes on a breast-feeding strike, it doesn't necessarily mean that he or she is ready to wean. Breast-feeding strikes are often short-lived.
A breast-feeding strike can be uncomfortable for you and your baby. You might feel rejected and frustrated. Don't feel guilty, though — it's not your fault. Try to be patient as you manage this change in your baby's eating habits. To prevent engorgement and maintain your milk supply, pump milk on the same schedule your baby used to breast-feed. You can feed the expressed milk to your baby with a spoon, dropper or bottle.
You might also:
If a breast-feeding strike lasts more than a few days, your baby has fewer wet diapers than usual or you're concerned about your baby's difficulty breast-feeding, consult your baby's doctor.

We all know that kid who only eats peanut butter sandwiches on white bread cut into triangles ... and has been refusing anything different for the past seven years. Sure, he's sweet, but that's the kid moms dread having over for play dates after school. So how do you avoid raising that kid, the picky eating kid? One trick is actually surprisingly easy: Skip the baby food that mixes flavors.
The idea is that babies have to develop a palette, and blending flavors keeps them from learning to like (or even just put up with) the taste of individual vegetables.
The science to support this theory was presented by researchers from the French National Institute for Agricultural Research at a conference last week, but it's not the first time the story has been told: A study in the journal Appetite also offered up research to back this idea up.
It's the same reason why breastfeeding could produce less fussy eaters when babies grow up -- that exposure to subtle flavors helps them appreciate the taste of anything that's not just mush.
So the supermarket strategy is this: Skip the stuff that mashes different flavors together, and buy (or make!) the baby food that's strictly one-vegetable-only. Easy, right?
Also, shoot for getting a range of different fruits and veggies, and trick your baby into eating as many different flavors as possible (while you still can). Then, if everything goes as planned, they'll be inhaling broccoli by the bunch by the time they're old enough to chew.
Or something like that.
It's an easy switch to make, and one that certainly won't hurt anybody. Nobody really wants to deal with a picky eater -- so please, for moms everywhere, try this trick.
And then, a mere 10 years from now when you have a culinary savant on your hands, YOU get to take all the credit, thank you very much.
What kind of food do you usually feed your baby?
