Hello everyone, How are you getting with your baby night sleep? Mine doesn't sleep well, in fact, he sleeps quite bad at night. Since he was born he hasn't slept much. While still breastfed he woke up every one or two hours but it was considered to be quite common. Now he is not breastfed any more for about eight months, he is nineteenth months at the moment and still continues waking up lots of times during the night. I get really tired at night, when after one or two hours sleep he wakes up and calls me.  I have tried not to take him on my arms when he wakes up, to sleep with him, I have given him antiestaminics prescribed by my pediatrician, of course, however, there hasn't been much difference. The more that he sleeps before waking up at night is three or four hours and when doing so I get such a relief that the next day I am in a better mood.
How do your baby sleep? does he/she sleep well or do you feel like me?

Hi, I need an extension. My son and I are getting a lot of benefit from the Beta Testing and we don't want it to come to an end . My baby loves the flashcards specially those of the animals and get really excited with the action words, his favourite category.

Hi,
I recommend you another website www.learnenglish.org.uk/kids/ Have a look at it. It has a lot of good stuff: songs, stories, games , flashcards. My baby  loves specially the songs.

Hi Fileneviana. Thank you for the video. It's great to meet someone who also teach a second language, I suppose it is English , isn't it? I want to make you some questions: When did you start talking to your child in English? and How is it going? How do you do that? I tell you what I do: I talk to my son in English as if we were playing. I ask him whether he wants English  and he always answers "yes" so I start talking to him in English and explainig things in English. He knows all the home things both in Spanish and English. He is not very good at talking he doesn't talk much but it is not needed because I understand his body language quite well. Maybe it is my fault because I don't force him to talk that much. My experience with the flashcards is not very good. My son doesn't seem much interested in them but I continue showing them to him. Only some times takes he the flashcards and tries to tell me what they say.

Hi, I'm Spanish, and I can speak English, French and German. I can help you as a translator when needed. 

I invite you all to have a look at my new download    . I've jut uploaded it. It is a nursery rhyme and I hope you like it. Try singing it with your baby  , it's a useful tool for teaching your baby counting. Enjoy it   

I want to share with you the experience of the first tooth. I think that it is a very special moment for us parents when we see our little one with a tooth, don't you think so? My bubby was eight months old when his first tooth came out, and at that moment I thought it was quite late for a first tooth because I had heard some bubbys are born with teeth or they have the first at the age of one or two months. I don't really know whether it is possible or not. Have you had such an experience? How old was your bubby when his /her first  tooth came out?

Hi everyone, I'd like to know how many of you are teaching your baby a second language. I started talking to my child in English (my second language) when he was fourteen months old, I suppose I could have started earlier but before that I didn't feel my baby prepared and I thought he would have got confused with the two languages (English and Spanish). In fact, now I see the one not prepared was me, because he has gotten used to the English language very  quickly. He understands me quite well when I talk to him in English, what I try to do everyday at any time along the day.
For this, I encourage to you all, if you can speak a second language, to talk to your children some time everyday when possible.

Gracias, Chispa por la informacion.  No me habia parado a pensar que quizas no lo estoy estimulando correctamente. Puede que las fichas que le estoy mostrando no sean de su interes. Intentare mostrarle algo diferente a ver que tal.   

Hi, I'm a home stay mom too, and quite proud of being so. I was dismissed some months ago, when my child was about six months old and I have to say I prefer being at home with him, seeing him grow and teaching him all that I can. I am not applying for any job at the moment and I even rejected a good job a couple of months ago because it was quite far from the town where I live, and I should have left my home and husband during the working days, and my baby who is the one that I most love in this world with strangers. No No No!! No way!  I want a family . I don't want to work and leave my family although I suppose I wouldn't mind a part-time job but not now. I  want to stay with my bubby until he is three years old, then he will start school and I'll have free time in the mornings.  Moreover I don't know how it is in your countries, here in Spain there are financial aids for women who have little children and don't work for a period of about two years so I'm getting some income and I'm with my bubby.  How is it in your countries? Are there any helps for you home stay moms? Let me know, please              

Hola, soy Laidalays, tengo un hijo de 19 meses al que intento enseñar a leer en ingles y en español. La verdad es que no me resulta tarea facil porque cada vez que le pregunto que dice en las fichas el dice que mama y eso que soy constante y le enseño las fichas cada dia. Lo unico que si que distingue son el color azul y el numero 1 que me los nombra cuando le muestro la fichacorrespondiente. No se como os ira al resto, me gustaria compartir vuestras experiencias y saber que tal os va con el metodo ¿asimilan vuestros hijos bien la lectura?
Gracias a todos por formar parte de esta comunidad tan maravillosa. Yo llevaba ya meses intentando encontrar algo asi.
Saludos

I started giving my baby a pencil when he was 12 months old. Of course he can't write yet, he is now 19 months old, but he tries his best to imitate what I write to him and when he has done it he tells me the word he is trying to write. I suppose this is a good beginnning 

I'M MUMMY OF A NINETEEN MONTH BABY.I´M SPANISH BUT I´M TEACHING MY BABY ENGLISH TOO.  I TRIED THIS METHOD WITH MY BABY SOME MONTHS AGO BUT I WAS NOT VERY SUCCESSFUL SINCE HE DIDN´T LEARN ANY WORD. I SUPPOSE HE WASN´T STILL PREPARED. I HOPE THIS TIME WE ´LL BE LUCKIER BECAUSE NOW HE SEEMS MORE RECEPTIVE. GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU!

:rolleyes:I HAVE ENJOYED THE BRILLKIDS WITH MY BABY, IT IS GREAT! BUT I THINK THERE SHOULD BE SOME BODY PARTS NAMES AMONG THE FLASH CARDS AND I HAVE ALSO MISSED SOME TRADITIONAL SONGS WHICH LITTLE BABIES GENERALLY LOVE WHY NOT INCLUDING SOME CHILDREN SONGS?
