Kidz Meadow Childcare @ Buangkok (Blk 979C) Term 3, 2019 Newsletter

MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL

Term 3 was filled with many exciting events and activities that it passed by without us noticing it!

We collaborated with some of our community partners. The K1 children performed during the Mid Autumn event organized by

Jalan Kayu RC, while the K2 children participated in the Heritage Trail organized by Singapore Red Cross, just to name a few.

In this coming term, we will be involved in one of our biggest event, which is the K2 Graduation Concert. Our graduands are

counting down the days and busy preparing for their big day on stage. They are excited and eager to display their talents to their

parents!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the parents for your gifts to all of us during the Teachers’ Day celebration. They

certainly put smiles on the teachers’ faces.

Let’s look forward to more engaging activities that have been planned for the children in Term 4!

SCHAUMBURG, Ill. (Dec. 11, 2012) — Most children’s atopic dermatitis, often called eczema, does not have a clear

cause, such as an allergy, dermatologists say most eczema will improve with good skin care. Research shows that by

treating the eczema, the better the skin can function.

“With eczema, the skin can become very dry, itchy, and crack, which lets in germs that can cause skin infections,”

said Amanda Friedrichs, MD, FAAD, a board-certified dermatologist in private practice in Sycamore, Ill. “With

treatment, the protective barrier of the skin can be restored. Good skin care can go a long way in helping the skin

heal and prevent infection.”

To reduce the severity of and frequency of eczema flare-ups in children, Dr. Friedrichs recommends parents follow

these tips:

Bathing tips

• Bathe your child in warm, not hot, water.

• Limit your child’s time in the bath to 5 or 10 minutes.

• Use cleanser only when needed and make sure the

cleanser is mild and fragrance-free. Do not use bubble

bath.

• If your child’s eczema is frequently infected, twice-

weekly bleach baths may be beneficial. Discuss this

option with your child’s dermatologist.

• After bathing, gently pat your child’s skin partially dry.

• If your child has medicine that you apply to the skin,

apply medicine when your child’s skin is almost dry

and use the medicine as directed.

• Apply moisturizer on top of the medicine and to the

rest of your child’s skin.

Tips for choosing a moisturizer

• When selecting a moisturizer, consider choosing a

thick cream or ointment.

• Some children do better with fragrance-free products,

so consider petroleum jelly — an inexpensive,

fragrance-free product that works well for many

children.

• When selecting a product, “trial and error” sampling of

different types may help to identify the best

moisturizer for your child.

Skin care tips

• For best results, apply moisturizer at least twice a

day. This prevents dryness and cracking. It also can

decrease the need for eczema medications.

• If your child has severe itching and scratching, ask

your child’s dermatologist about wet wrap therapy.

This can reduce swelling and lessen the desire to

scratch.

• Keep your child’s fingernails short and smooth. This

decreases the likelihood that scratching will puncture

the skin. Putting cotton gloves on your child’s hands

at night may help prevent scratching during sleep.

• Keep temperature and humidity levels comfortable.

Avoid situations in which the air is extremely dry, or

where your child may sweat and overheat. This is the

most common trigger of the itch/scratch cycle.

Clothes-washing tips

• Using a laundry detergent made for sensitive skin may

be beneficial. Scented fabric softener or dryer sheets

may contribute to irritation.

• Only use the recommended amount of detergent.

• Use enough water for adequate rinsing.

• Buy clothes without tags because tags can rub against

the skin, causing irritation.

• Wash your child’s new clothes before wearing. This

will remove excess dyes and fabric finishers, which

can irritate the skin.

If you haven't had a good night's sleep since your baby was born, you're not alone. Sleepless nights are a rite

of passage for most new parents; but don't despair. You can help your baby sleep all night. Honestly!

Developing a rhythm

Newborns sleep 16 or more hours a day, but often in

stretches of just a few hours at a time. Although the

pattern might be erratic at first, a more consistent

sleep schedule will emerge as your baby matures

and can go longer between feedings.

By age 3 to 4 months, many babies sleep at least

five hours at a time. At some point during a baby's

first year; every baby is different ; he or she will start

sleeping for about 10 hours each night.

Have your baby sleep in your room

Ideally, your baby should sleep in your room with

you, but alone in a crib, bassinet or other structure

designed for infants, for at least six months, and, if

possible, up to one year. This might help decrease

the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

Adult beds aren't safe for infants. A baby can

become trapped and suffocate between the

headboard slats, the space between the mattress

and the bed frame, or the space between the

mattress and the wall. A baby can also suffocate if a

sleeping parent accidentally rolls over and covers the

baby's nose and mouth.

Encouraging good sleep habits

For the first few months, middle-of-the-night

feedings are sure to disrupt sleep for parents and

babies alike. But it's never too soon to help your

baby become a good sleeper. Consider these tips:

1. Follow a consistent, calming bedtime routine.

Overstimulation in the evening can make it difficult

for your baby to settle to sleep. Try bathing,

cuddling, singing, playing quiet music or reading,

with a clearly defined end point when you leave the

room. Begin these activities before your baby is

overtired in a quiet, softly lit room.

2. Put your baby to bed drowsy, but awake.

This will help your baby associate bed with the

process of falling asleep. Remember to place your

baby to sleep on his or her back, and clear the crib

or bassinet of blankets and other soft items.

3. Give your baby time to settle down.

Your baby might fuss or cry before finding a

comfortable position and falling asleep. If the crying

doesn't stop, check on your baby, offer comforting

words and leave the room. Your reassuring

presence might be all your baby needs to fall

asleep.

4. Consider a pacifier.

If your baby has trouble settling down, a pacifier

might do the trick. In fact, research suggests that

using a pacifier during sleep helps reduce the risk

of SIDS.

5. Keep nighttime care low-key.

When your baby needs care or feeding during the

night, use dim lights, a soft voice and calm

movements. This will tell your baby that it's time to

sleep, not play.

6. Respect your baby's preferences.

If your baby is a night owl or an early bird, you

might want to adjust routines and schedules based

on these natural patterns.
