Teething

Although some babies find teething painless, others become cranky, have sore gums, and have disruptions in their usual sleeping and eating patterns. Often, when babies are teething, they have a desire to chew on things. Try giving your child something safe to chew on, like a rubber teething ring or a wet washcloth that has been frozen for about 30 minutes.

Whatever object you choose, make sure it's not hard enough to bruise the gums and that it can't break into smaller pieces. Objects also should be big enough that babies can't get the whole thing in their mouths. You also can try rubbing your baby's gums with a clean finger. Some babies prefer cool foods when teething.

If your child is still cranky, an occasional dose of acetaminophen is sometimes helpful. But always check with your doctor first. If your baby has a fever, it's probably due to something other than teething and you should call your doctor.

Locked In

Thanks to Roman May

There’s a sweet deal going on right now at http://www.cabletvadvisor.com/. You get free movie channels, in addition to regular channels, at a lower price than I’ve been able to find anywhere else. The only problem is, in order to get the deal, you have to sign a 2 year contract. From what I gather, you are pretty locked in to the contract, too. There’s probably some fee if you break it. I know for a fact that the longest I am going to be in this town is 8 months. I really need a plan that doesn’t require a contract you are locked in to. More like a pay as you go, month by month basis. The only option I have found like that was priced ridiculously high. I don’t know if they allow you to pass on your contract to the next person to live in your house without having to pay the fee. That may work out if so, because I’m pretty sure a buddy of mine is going to move in.

Savings on Walgreens Prescription

This post brought to you by Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine.

If not all, most of us take prescription medicine.  Over the years all these medications get higher and higher in terms of price, some even are ridiculously expensive.  My son alone has his own set of vitamins which of course has to be given by all means.  Me and my husband take several supplements as well, it's something that we need to have and we're willing to spend for it.  I admit that you try adding up all the medications and sum up the cost you'd feel quite heavy about it.  It's not at all that light on the budget and this is just one of those things which you need for your health.

Finding means of saving even just a little is very important nowadays.  Walgreens Prescription Savings Club for instance is offering special discount on its annual membership.  You ca have everybody in your family covered for a slow as $35.  Your spouse, kids, and other dependents younger than 22 including pets can benefit making some savings.  Individuals however are charged $20 for the annual membership which entitles to discounts on brand name and all generic medications. 

All little saving added up together will eventually sum up to something bigger than you thought.  Imagine getting some discounts on flu shots and other medical supplies which usually cost a good out of the pocket amount.  Feel free to check out more details in Walgreens and to keep you posted with all deals, you may follow Walgreens on Twitter and simply like Walgreens on Facebook.
