Fit Mommy2B Tip #4: Stretching

Stretching and warming up prior to any type of workout is essential in preventing any injuries and helps you get a more efficient workout.
It is recommended to first warm up for about 5-10 min. You can either do this by walking, running, using the elliptical machine, or riding a stationary bike. Now your muscles are more flexible to stretch. But be careful! Our ligaments become looser while pregnant. Don't stretch too far. Inhale, stretch as you slowly exhale, and hold the stretch for about 10 sec. each time.
It is important to stretch after a workout too. It helps with your circulation and reduces soreness.

New baby tip #4

Babies can start teething as early as 3 months. Excessive drooling and the need to chew on objects (or their hands!) may be an indicator. To help soothe their gums, you can give them some of the following items:
- frozen teething rings
-chilled pacifier
-cold solid foods: frozen baby carrots, frozen bagels, or baby biscuits.

Always make sure to supervise your baby while they're chewing on pieces that may break.
