How to laundry girl smocked dresses safely

After having a baby girl, it can seem as if the laundry doubles! Many parents use baby detergent to clean girl smocked dresses. And when a newborn's skin is sensitive, this may be true. But it may be reassuring to know that this isn't necessary for many smocked dresses.

If baby detergent isn't getting rid of stains and odors on your smocked baby dresses as you expected, it may be time to switch to a regular liquid detergent. Unless your baby has allergies or another condition causing sensitive skin, washing your baby clothes with the rest of the family's clothes could not irritate your baby's skin. Liquid detergents sometimes rinse out easier than powder detergents do, so may be better for sensitive skin.

Before making the switch, be sure to test one article of clothing. And try using a detergent that's free of colors and fragrances. If you notice a skin reaction, stick with baby detergent for a little while longer.

Cloth diapers are the only items that need to be separated from your regular laundry of smocked baby dresses because harsh detergents can cause diaper rash. Wash them with mild baby detergent, and avoid anti-static products or fabric softeners, which often have fragrances that can irritate the skin. Also, use hot water and be sure to double rinse each load.

How to help children’s development through play (part 2)

The research on play shows how powerful it is for children’s development

Children whose dads played with them were found to have greater levels of imagination and cognitive ability compared to kids whose dads were non-players.

Children whose mums played with them experienced more secure attachment to their mums, and enjoyed more positive development when compared to children whose mums were unavailable for play.

Older children who played with their parents were also more engaged in other activities, experienced positive school engagement, had positive mental health, stronger friendship networks, and enjoyed greater family closeness compared with older children without playful parents.

How play benefits parents

So how do parents benefit from this? After all, we’re the ones who are juggling the needs of the children with the demands of being ‘the responsible adult’ who doesn’t actually have time for play.

It can actually be really hard to enjoy it. Lots of parents feel like it’s no fun to play at all. Dress-ups, dolls, swordfights, littlest pet-shops, and bouncing on the trampoline may not be your idea of good fun.

Parents who play get big boosts in self-esteem, and most important, significant increases in relationship satisfaction. This goes for both playing with their children, and also being playful with other adults, particularly spouses.

Child’s play is not just for children

From infancy to old age, play is consistently related to positive wellbeing. Put simply, play makes better, happier kids – and better, more fulfilled parents.
