Warm and Safe in Winterby plunket nurse sueHi everyone,

I hope you are all keeping warm as the colder days start to engul us. Here are a ew tips to keep your babys sleep

environment sae and at the correct temperature throughout the winter months:

Keep the room well ventilated with the door open, especially i using a heater.

Keep the room at a temperature that is comortable or a lightly clothed adult.

Overheated rooms are not sae or babies. Using an electric heater with a thermostat is best.

Avoid using an heaters in your babys room when your baby is in bed as an heaters can overheat the room.

Gas heaters should also be avoided in your babys room as they can give o dangerous umes

Place the cot away rom windows, curtains, blind cords, power points and heaters. Sleeping your baby away rom the windows

helps keep their temperature stable.

To check your baby is at the right temperature while in bed:

You can check baby is warm enough by slipping two fngers down the back o their neck. I the babys back is warm then they

are fne, even i their hands and eet eel cool. I they eel hot, take o some o the covers.

Choose bedding made rom natural fbres like cotton and wool as they breathe and help keep baby at an even temperature.

Baby will usually need one more layer o bedding or clothing than you do to stay warm.

(Inormation rom Thriving Under 5)Take care and keep warm, Sue

book review:no regrets parenting by NicciCoffeyFor some reason, I keep expecting the pace o lie to slow down.

At least a little. That hasnt happened yet. And Im beginning to

think it never will. The boys have adapted beautiully to school,

and as I write, we are midpoint o our rst school holidays.

The typical school day (dropo with Dad, pickup with Mum,

then relaxing together aterschool, ollowed by the chores(dinner/bath/bed)) has created lovely blended days this rst

term. Holidays then started with returning to the Playcentre

or special sessions to enjoy playing with their riends who

have also been at school, and what with visits to the Zoo, the

Observatory and swimming lessons - the rst week fashed

past! Next week with amily visiting is a ull house and another

ull schedule.

Strangely, In the midst o this - I picked up a book. Well, several

actually, due to the Island Bay library starting up a pimp stand

with tempting new books on display just by the ront door. Last

time I was there I just swiped the entire top two shelves clear,sweeping up books on Slow Gardening, How to stress less,

Digital Photography, Boys Growing up, Conessions o a Coee

Group dropout, and nally No Regrets Parenting

Given that the only reason Id chosen them was that I could

simply pick them up in one armul and check them out in a

single minute, its not surprising most o them were orgettable,

although I havent got to the photography one yet. The Coee

group one particularly irritated me, it seemed to be a 365 page

long excuse about why a woman whose routine-ree, demand-

eeding liestyle justied never mashing a banana or her child.

Im araid I just didnt get it. Perhaps being a mother o twins

and relying on routine or sanity just makes me prejudiced

about anyone who trumpets that it isnt needed and isnt

necessary - especially when most o her book is a moan about

motherhood. But I digress.

The bright spot in my random assortment was Harley Rotbarts

No regrets parenting. Now, let me start with a disclaimer. This

book pretty much assumes your lie is going great. Youre in

a two parent household, with 2.4 kids, gainully employed

and your biggest concern is saving or their University ees.

So its not really going to hit the spot i, quite rankly, youve

got bigger issues to deal with. But heres what I liked - rst,

he pretty much gave an overview o parenting rom cradle

to college. For those o us in

between those two points, it is

nice to read something reminds

you to look back, and prompts you

to look orward and without an

overtone that youre only readinga parenting book because lie

is in crisis. You get a bit o

a pat on the back or what

youve done, and a cheat sheet

or the uture.

Another thing I particularly liked is most o his chapters were

about a page and a hal long. He outlines an issue (say, getting

your kids attention), proposes a solution (not telling - youll

have to read it), and gives a couple o examples o it working

and why he thinks it works. The whole book is not like that,

but a lot o it is. So its easy to pick up and put down in the ew

nanoseconds we get to ourselves.

One thing I really like is his theory o double-dipping. He uses

this to describe time where youre together - eg. reading, but

they are reading the latest teen romance, and you are nose

deep in say, a parenting book! Thats a success - youre enjoying

an activity together, but each o you participating at your own

level. And he gives a lot o ideas how to do that. Swimming

is another good one. Hes also quite good on the technology

battle - when it works or you, and when it works against you

(cellphones, Facebook, computer games and so on). I nothing

else, he gives you his perspective and you can gure out

whether that helps or not.

His key message is simple. Really try to make the moment

momentous. Take your moments where you can nd them, and

concentrate. It might be driving them in the car. Listen to them.

Be there in the moment with them. Think about how they are

experiencing it, and join them in that experience. It all sounds

a bit pyscho-babble, but what makes this book worth checking

out is his practical tips and tricks to nd those moments. I think

i theres one thing Ive learnt as a mum to twins, is that I need all

the tips and tricks I can get, so I plan to steal quite a ew o his!

It is a really exciting time or ashion this winter. Not only do wehave a great mix o warm and cool toned clothing, we have somesensational coats, pretty, fattering dresses, exciting prints and lotso wonderul texture. What more can a girl ask or?

I am always going on about colourul winter coats and to be honest,I doubt I will stop with this. Make a great rst impression and walkinto a room or cae making a wow impact. A great cut and colour

coat will make even that person suering rom SAD (seasonalaective disorder) smile. Add a couple o bonus compliments andyour day will just get better.

What is needed under that abulous coat? why a pretty dress iswhat. While the word on the street is that tunics and legging areon the way out they are still a very practical option or mums athome this winter. Comortable and easy to wear, because you haveleggings on getting up and down o the foor is not a problem. Iyou want to be cutting edge ashion then coloured or textured/patterned tights will make a simple, easy to wear merino dress atrendy option.

Some people are scared o animal print. There are two things you

need to remember about animal print - rstly get used to it becauseit comes around pretty much every winter season. Secondly lessis more or those not used to wearing it or are nervous about themutton/lamb scenario. A leopard scar or gloves can sometimesbe just the right amount. For others a dress is all good (as long as itis not too short or TOO low - or see above scenario).

Texture is a wonderul thing and in ull abundance this season. Fakeur is un (i not a little bulky or some with a larger breasteedingchest!) Cable knit ditto. Fine merino layers are superb or warmth

healthy eating and livingfor under 5

by Anna BordignonI cant imagine what cooking today would be like without the tomato? Apart rom onions, tomatoes are probably the thing I use

most in my cooking. I am sure this is true or many o you. I make a lot o Italian inspired meals like lasagne and bolognese, because

these are very popular with the kids. I also make a lot o casseroles and always add tinned tomatoes to these.

When tomatoes are in season and cheap, and I am trying to be good, I eat baby tomatoes as a snack instead o other sweet things. I

also enjoy making resh tomato sauces or gnocchi and other pastas. I simply roast them with garlic, rosemary, thyme or any otherherb available this brings out an intense and sweet favour. Then I puree/blitz them in the ood processor and combine with slowly

sauteed onions and leeks. I make big batches o this and some goes into the reezer or the colder months.

Tomatoes are loaded with vitamins such as A, C and E. They are a great source o potassium and calcium, but their greatest claim

to ame is their lycopene content. This is an antioxidant that helps lower cholesterol and protect us against strokes, cancer and

heart attacks.

Our bodies can access the benets o lycopene more easily rom cooked tomatoes. Here are some ideas or getting more cooked

tomatoes into your diet in these colder months:

Baked tomato risotto - use tinned tomatoes to replace some o the stock

Sasage asseroe - tinned tomatoes or tomato soup replaces water/stock

crries - try tinned tomatoes instead o stock/coconut milk or add tomato paste to thicken home made pizza - use tomato paste and top with chopped, deseeded resh tomatoes then add avourite pizza toppings

Ater three months in Roses Coordinator shoes at the Community Centre I am now eeling much more at home than I was when I wrotethe last piece or the Wellington South Plunket newsletter. Not that I didnt love being in Island Bay at the start you understand. Its justthat now all the tasks o the job are starting to become second nature and I dont have to reer to Roses very helpul coordinators guidenearly so oten. I havent thought about it beore but I think a new job is a little bit like caring or a new baby. I dont mean to make adirect comparison because obviously a precious new human being is beyond comparing with almost anything else upon this earth.Nevertheless, in a new job you can be just as scared o making mistakes, upsetting people, orgetting to do something important at acertain time OMG the arts and crats people are here and I havent got the tables and chairs out again!

But ater three months you dont orget things so oten and you realise that most mistakes wont result in death and destruction and just

as kids survive almost anything, so do community centres! Actually Island Bay Community Centre is doing a lot more than surviving itsthriving. As the winter months approach there seem to be more and more groups using the centre.

Mondays have suddenly become the busiest day at the centre with the ollowing new additions to the programme: Fitness by RevolveBoot Camps at dawn (also on Wednesdays rst thing), Pilates or mums at 11 and Toolbox Parenting in the evening. Not to mention all theother Monday regulars.

Some o you will have attended the recent very successul Wardrobe Flair undraiser that Island Bay Kindergarten ran here. The centre isan ideal place or this kind o event and we welcome enquiries rom anyone wishing to hold an event whether its a undraiser, birthdayor other celebration.

Designed specically byAlzheimers Wellington, or people who are living with someone who has a dementia this course o ve 2 hour sessions begins on FridayJune 1st at 2pm - entry by gold coin. Call us or more inormation.

We are looking orward to joining with Tapu Te Ranga Marae to celebrate Matariki on

finger food for your baby or toddler

Mum to Freddie, an active toddler, Ive recently started blogging about healthy, easy recipes to eed hungry tummies. The blog is calledFreddies Food reddiesood.wordpress.com. The recipes aim to be low in salt and sugar, tasty and appealing (even to the ussiest o eaters!).

I am a massive an o nger ood or babies and toddlers and recently run a nger ood series on my blog. Letting babies eed themselvesis great or developing their independence, hand-eye co-ordination and their pincer grip. It also allows your baby to explore dierenttextures. A great advantage to oering nger ood over pure is it helps take away the possible ood battle o just one more mouthul asyou are giving your baby control over how much they eat, depending on how hungry they are.

Freddie rejected the spoon at around 7 months so I started him on nger oods slightly earlier than Plunkets recommendation around 8-9

months. You will know your baby is ready to give eeding themselves a go when they are able to chew and have started developing thepincer grip (are picking things up with their thumb and nger).

Initially you might nd that everything goes on the foor but very quickly, i given the opportunity, they will start getting more accurate- I will never orget watching Freddie eat peas one at a time at great speed. To make your lie easier I recommend putting a splash matunderneath your babys highchair. In this way you can pick up dropped ood and put it back on the high chair knowing the surace is clean.It also makes tidying up much easier!

To prevent your baby choking when you rst introduce nger oods make sure they are able to sit up by themselves, that they are able tochew and that you oer them oods that are sot and easy to chew. To limit their rustration try making or cutting ood so it is easy to pickup and hold.

Watties have produced a handout listing a range o dierent nger oods or both 9 and 12 month olds that you might nd helpul to giveyou some ideas o what to try. Your Plunket nurse, Sue, can give you one at your next check-up.

Here is a great nger ood recipe or Cheese, Marmite and Spinach Quesadilla which Freddie and his Dad love! I hope your little ones do

too. For more meal ideas and some hints and tips on making meal times happy times check out Freddies Food.Cheese, Marmite and Spinach Quesadilla

Makes: 2 Serves (1 adult & 1 toddler)

Dangers of bank coverUNLIKE PEOPLE, not all bank policies are created

equal. Wide variations in premiums are a

warning that you should be careful about what

cover you have in place.

Cover offered by bank insurance is in many

cases much narrower and contains more

exclusions than insurance bought from aninsurance adviser.

As an insurance adviser, I work on your behalf

to find you the most suitable deals.

Also remember that insurance advisers areexperts in their field and can quickly findandcompare insurance quotes. And because I am

obliged to search the whole market, you can be

sure that my recommendation will be the one

that best suits your needs, and not biased or

skewed due to other business considerations.

Another advantage is that you get to deal with a

real human being. Many larger insurers have

implemented automated response units. Whilst

this saves them money, it can be frustrating

when you just want to speak to a person.

One day, I couldn t even

open my lipstick!Anne, a fit healthy woman with three

children, started noticing tingling and

numbness in her hands. Anne was

dropping things, but just felt a bit

clumsy. However, it became frightening

when, one day, she couldn t even open

her lipstick.

Anne went to her doctor and was

referred to a specialist who ordered an

MRI scan. She was diagnosed with a

chronic compression of the spinal cord

and nerve roots. Anne had health

insurance, so she made immediate

contact. Her claim was approved, and

less than two weeks later, Anne was in

surgery.6
