			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many resources for new parents treat moms and dads in the same way &#8211; they speak of a generic &#8220;parent&#8221; which is essentially dealing with the same challenges of adjusting to a new life style once the baby is hear. Reality is very different of course &#8211; depending on the particular family arrangement the pre and post birth world is experienced very differently for moms and dads. Here&#8217;s a list of key concerns and worries as reported back by moms and dads we work with:</p>
<p><TABLE cellpadding=5><TR bgcolor=#d0d0ff><TD><BR /><B>Pre-birth dad worries</b><BR /> <BR /></td>
<p><TD><BR /><B>Pre-birth mom worries</b><BR /> <BR /></td>
</tr>
<p><TR valign=top><TD><B>Family finance</b> &#8211; how to pay for all the baby stuff</td>
<p><TD><B>Giving birth</b> &#8211; how to get that baby out of your body without too much pain or mess</td>
</tr>
<p><TR valign=top bgcolor=#f0f0f0><TD><B>Baby&#8217;s looks and intelligence</b> &#8211; will my son/daughter be the next Zuckerberg, Lady Gaga or end up on social benefits</td>
<p><TD><B>Health of baby</b> &#8211; will my baby be healthy and well after birth?</td>
</tr>
<p><TR valign=top><TD><B>Change of lifestyle</b> &#8211; how will the baby affect our life style? The house, the car, going out, traveling, etc.</td>
<p><TD><B>Looking after the baby</b> &#8211; what do I need to know to make sure my baby grows and develops into a healthy child and adult?</td>
</tr>
<p><TR valign=top bgcolor=#f0f0f0><TD><B>Baby gear and gadgets</b> &#8211; what is all the baby stuff we actually need?</td>
<p><TD><B>Change of lifestyle</b> &#8211; how will the baby affect our life style? The house, the car, going out, traveling, etc.</td>
</tr>
<p><TR valign=top><TD><B>Bonding with the baby</b> &#8211; what if I can&#8217;t relate to the baby &#8230; don&#8217;t know what to do with a baby</td>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://diyfather.com/files/bully-proof.jpg" align=right hspace=5 />What can you do to make sure your child doesn&#8217;t get bullied at school? Find out about &#8220;bully proof courses&#8221; in your area! Bullying is a major issue for all school children and parents these days and it seems schools or government initiatives are relatively ineffective in dealing with this problem. So it&#8217;s back to us parents to sort it out &#8211; fine. I&#8217;ve recently come across so called &#8220;bully proof&#8221; courses which a number of martial arts disciplines offer. The courses are based on standard entry level martial arts classes but offer a few elements of how to deal with being bullied specifically. </p>
<p>After attending a number of karate classes I think enrolling your child in a martial arts course will address various aspects at play when it comes to bullying at school.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://diyfather.com/files/carseatreview.jpg" align=left hspace=5 height=200 />This weeks product review is on Safe &amp; Sound Car Seat, Pyper has just about grown out of her capsule, I&#8217;m a bit sad about that as it meant we had to buy another car seat &#8230; so more money down the drain. But once again it&#8217;s all about safety so there&#8217;s no excuse really.</p>
<p>We got the Safe&amp;Sound Car Seat as a gift and initially I thought &#8220;it&#8217;s a good looking car seat&#8221;. Here&#8217;s what I found:<br />
<BR /> <BR /><br />
<B>Pros</b><UL><LI>Certified up to a weight of 18kgs
</li>
<p><LI>Sturdy with lots of cushions and padding
</li>
<p><LI>Pretty dirt resistant from what I can tell</li>
</ul>
<p><B>Cons</b><UL><LI>Needs hooks in the car to lock the seat in place
</li>
<p><LI>Only reclines in the back facing position
</li>
<p><LI>Quite expensive
</li>
<p><LI>It has a 3 point (6 straps) harness &#8211; quite complicated to put on and secure</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The central piece of the bedroom is generally a large bed which occupies most of the space; in order to win free space, you can search for a bed appropriate for your room size at <A href="http://www.bedstar.co.uk/bedstar/" style="color:#303030;text-decoration:none" >bedstar</a>. Another reason for having not enough space in your bedroom is due to the fact that we are used to having lots of toys in the room as well. </p>
<p>So one of the easiest things you can do is to buy a size appropriate bed. E.g. consider the following:<UL><LI>Sofa bed – it can be folded during the day to occupy less space
</li>
<p><LI>Storage Bed – the storage spaces can be used for keeping all the toys in the storage compartment under the bed
</li>
<p><LI>Murphy bed – can be lifted during the day to give you floor access</li>
</ul>
