Baby Massage cute

Did you know?

Massaged daily, premature infants develop more rapidly than those who are not massaged. After six weeks, they are more alert and cry less, are more socially and emotionally expressive, and have notably higher levels of serotonin.

Physical contact is a basic human need, as important to babies as milk and sleep. Infant massage provides a special, concentrated dose of this kind of nurturing -- along with many other benefits for parents and children.

Massage can teach your baby to release tensions in her bent arms, clenched fists, constantly working mouth, and neck and upper-spine muscles. In colicky babies, it triggers processes that aid in digestion and relieve gastrointestinal discomfort. And many parents say that massage helps their active babies relax and settle for sleep.

Start each massage with your baby's legs and feet -- a gentle, nonintrusive approach. She may not take to it immediately or may initially display a very short tolerance for massage, so begin slowly; she will indicate when she wants you to stop. Each day, you can lengthen the duration, eventually building up to a daily half-hour routine. Or, you can spend a few minutes massaging her legs after her evening bath or her feet before nap time or bedtime.

Wear soft, comfortable, nonbinding clothes. Trim your nails; even though you will be using the pads of your fingers, long fingernails may scratch your baby. Choose a warm, quiet room and a time not directly before of after your baby's meal.Do a few simple stretches to relax -- neck and shoulder rolls, arm and lower-back stretches. Do not massage your baby if she is sick or has a fever. Massage can cause infections to spread through the body. Use a vegetable-based oil; avocado is particularly non-allergenic. (Baby oils are mineral-based and should not be ingested, which they will be when they get on a baby's hands.) Dip your fingers in the oil, and rub a small amount over your hands before you begin and whenever they feel dry, lubricating them just enough so that they don't chafe your baby's skin.

Five Pillars of "Islam"

2007-05-11T21:08:00.000+03:00

1) The Testimony of Faith:
The testimony of faith is saying with conviction, “La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammad Rasoolu Allah.” This saying means “There is no true God but God (Allah) means that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, and that Allah has neither partner nor son. This testimony of faith is called the (Shahada) a simple formula which should be said with conviction in order to convert to Islam. the second part means Muhammad is the Messenger (Prophet) of Allah.”

The testimony of faith is the most important pillar of Islam.

2) Prayers:

Muslims perform five prayers a day. Each prayer does not take more than a few minutes to perform. Prayer in Islam is a direct link to Allah. In prayers, a person feels inner happiness, peace, and comfort, and that Allah is pleased with him or her. Prayers are performed at dawn, noon, mid-afternoon, sunset, and night. A Muslim may pray almost anywhere, such as in fields, offices, factories, or universities.

3) Giving Zakaat (support the needy):

All things belong to God, and wealth is therefore held by human beings in trust. The original meaning of the word (Zakaat) is both ‘purification’ and ‘growth.’ Giving Zakaat means ‘giving a specified percentage on certain properties to certain classes of needy people.

4) Fasting Ramadhan:

Every year in the month of Ramadhan, all Muslims fast from dawn until sundown, abstaining from food, drink, and sexual relations.

Although the fast is beneficial to health, it is regarded principally as a method of spiritual self-purification as well as growth in his or her spiritual life.

The end of Ramadhan is marked by a festival called "Eid Al-Fitr".

5) The Pilgrimage to Makkah:

The annual pilgrimage (Hajj) to Makkah is an obligation once in a lifetime for those who are physically and financially able to perform it. About two million people (increasing) go to Makkah each year from every corner of the globe. The annual Hajj is performed in the twelfth month of the Islamic calendar.

The end of the (Hajj) is marked by a festival that is called "Eid Al-Adha".

Be a Giver not a Taker ..

Learn to cut the strings, have no attachments to the gift. GIVE because you feel like giving, not because you feel you must give, not to return a favour. Give because it gives you pleasure, not because you want to impress someone or have a hold on them.

Release ownership the moment you have decided to give, then give freely ...

Giving is not only limited to material goods, the greatest gift that you can give cost nothing but benefit both for the giver and the receiver.
Give a smile, a kind word, love, friendship, sympathy, attention, respect, a sense of hope.
Have a competition with yourself, see how many people you can positively influence today.

Remember this "If you spray perfume onto someone you also get to enjoy the scent".!
As you increase the level and quality of your giving you will be amazed at how much you receive in return, because what you give, determines how happily you live.

If you don't know what is important, you will try to do everything.

If you do everything, people will expect you to do anything.

and in trying to please everyone, you will have no time to know what is "important".
