Dirt is one of all parents' workhorses. Not only because of the inconvenience that it may mean that your children stain their clothes or get dirty from top to bottom. It is primarily a matter of health. Therefore, we will analyze, with data and studies, to what extent it is necessary for your child to relate to the environment and be exposed to a certain degree of dirtiness, and we set clear limits on what we should allow and what not.

It is very little for your baby to be with you and all you have is a box full of crocheted booties that have made your grandmothers ... Do not panic! Do not fall into compulsive shopping or let yourself be swept away by marketing for first-time parents. Not all things that are presented as necessary for babies are really useful or essential.

In some families, there are deep-rooted traditions, but this is also one of the prettiest I've seen. It is common for women in the family to wear the same christening, communion or wedding dress that other women in the family wore in the past, but what about the dress on the first day of school?

After the birth of your baby, it is normal to seek to regain weight before pregnancy. Although you have gained only the kilos you needed to gain during pregnancy, your body accumulated fat both for the protection of the baby and to be able to use it as a fuel at the time of breastfeeding. So if you eat a balanced diet, simply by breastfeeding, you will regain your previous weight.

Nutritionally speaking, breastfeeding is a critical period for both you and your baby, because the quality of breast milk depends entirely on your lifestyle and what you eat. Hard? Yes. The pace of life that we currently have and the need that a woman has to continue with her working life after pregnancy can prevent her from covering all her requirements through food.

Choosing the baby's name can be a complicated task, especially when the parents do not agree. Therefore, some families end up choosing to let fate decide, or to give their children the name of a character they admire, whether fiction or real. Characters from the Game of Thrones series, soccer players, singers or cartoons are behind many of the names of boys and girls registered by the National Institute of Statistics (INE).

Breastfeeding is undoubtedly the best method to feed your baby during the first six months of life. Both the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) recommend it exclusively. In this period, as in pregnancy, to be able to breastfeed you must take care that your diet is adequate, since the composition of the milk can vary according to what you eat.

The artist Alya Chaglar and her three-year-old daughter, Stefani, have a great time making lovely photos that make you feel on the internet. Thanks to the power of perspective, the mother holds at a distance pieces of fruits, vegetables and flowers, causing the optical illusion that the girl is wearing unconventional dresses of watermelon, bananas, grapes or daisies.

A child's first day of school is one of the most important in the parents' life. For many it is not only the beginning of their academic education, but also the first moment in which our children begin to form their own path away from home. And suddenly, in the blink of an eye, when we least realize, our children are already adults.

One of the things that excites many pregnant women is knowing if they expect a boy or a girl. And it is nice to imagine how our baby will be: his eyes, his hands, his hair. Derived from that emotion of knowing what the baby's sex is, over time they have been creating and maintaining beliefs about pregnancy characteristics that supposedly define whether male or female are expected, but in reality, most are just myths.

More than five million people have seen this adorable eight-day-old baby with curlers in a video uploaded to Facebook by New Jersey newborn photographer Jessie Marrero. They are the "behind the scenes" images of a photo shoot of Camila, a girl who, without knowing anything, has gone viral within a few days of being born.

There is a study that ensures that pregnancy is contagious, that when a woman becomes pregnant, women around her are more likely to stay as well. This happened with the sisters Corey Struve Talbott and Katie Struve Morgan, who became pregnant at the same time and gave birth 15 minutes apart.

As parents, our main responsibilities are to care for, guide, educate and train our children. The kind of adults they will become depends on the lessons they receive in those first years of life. A word that often comes out of our mouths during the training and care of our children, is the famous "no."

The Perseids or "tears of San Lorenzo", are a spectacular rain of stars that occurs every year at the beginning of August, and that is especially visible in the northern hemisphere of our planet. And although this year, the moon will make your vision a bit difficult, we encourage you to enjoy this experience with your children.

Inspired by the famous photographs of Adele Enersen, after becoming a grandmother five years ago the photographer Angela Forker wanted to do something similar with her grandchildren, so she took a specialized course in baby photography and got down to work. Now is the look behind "Baby ImaginArt," a series of photos of babies on stages created from wonderful adventures such as space missions or time travel.

Harper, Catherine and Mae do not know yet, but their lives are united. All three were born with Down Syndrome in the same hospital, in three days in a row and overcame great difficulties during their first months of life. Nicole Starr Photography is the photographer behind Juliasway.org, a nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring and encouraging mothers of children with Down syndrome to breastfeed their babies.

Celebrities are always under the spotlight and tend to be the most criticized when they wear a few extra pounds or their bodies are not toned. But little by little that pressure is easing, due in part to the celebrities themselves who are revealed against it. The last one was the ex-Disney girl, Hilary Duff (The New Cinderella) who recently posted on her Instagram account a photo in a swimsuit, where she is seen enjoying a day at the beach with her little son Luca.

When a baby or a very young child needs glasses, many questions assail us. What kind of glasses do you need? Should you always wear them? What do I do if they bother you or take them off? How do I help you understand that you can't take them off? And when I'm not with him? We explain the situations that you should have planned to help you cope with this process and give you tips to make your glasses become an element of your day to day.

Two days ago Beyoncé posted a beautiful image on Instagram presenting her twins. Beautiful but quite unreal, posing as if it were a kind of Virgin (at least it gives that feeling), and holding her babies in an impractical way, exposed to the sun. It's not a criticism, actually (well, I hope they weren't too long in the sun and it wasn't too hot), but a description of something we're all quite used to: the celebrities show us, too often, an image of themselves that doesn't really exist.

Sholom Ber Salomon is a 36-year-old Californian with a lot of sense of humor. He always liked to take pictures of nonsense and when his daughter Zoe came into his life, it was the perfect excuse to continue doing so, but two. Her baby is nine months old and they spend good times together dressing up and playing different characters.
