Did You Know: 

Growth spurts can start as early as 10 days after your baby’s birth.  Growth spurts usually are preceded by a sleepy, lethargic day and a big jump in appetite.  Growth spurts may happen again at 3, 6, and 12 weeks and again at 4 and 6 months.  If you begin to notice that your child is not as satisfied with the amount that you have been feeding her previously, then she may be beginning a growth spurt period.  If you are breastfeeding, you may want to add a feeding or two to satiate your baby’s appetite and to help increase milk production.

"How do I make Play Dough?"

Play dough

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup salt
  • 2 tablespoons cream of tarter
  • 2 tablespoons of oil
  • 2 cups of water
  • food coloring

Instructions:

Mix dry ingredients together. Add oil, water, and food coloring and stir until smooth. Cook over medium heat until mixture thickens and sticks to the spoon. Dump the mixture onto the table and cool slightly until you can work it with your hands. Kneed it with your hands until it is nice and soft. Store in an airtight container.

Suggestion from Julie Turla: I add 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon for a wonderful smell.

Suggestion from Danielle: If you leave the dough natural and then divide up into 4 parts, add the food color and knead in. The colors are more vivid and bright.
