Nanas, Papas and Babas
Developing an intimate bond with your child or grandchild can be a rewarding, emotional and heart-warming experience. Taking inspiration from the Chester Beatty Library collections, the Tiny Fingers, Little Toes: Bealtaine event – Nanas, Papas and Babas will encourage interactions between grandparents, parents and children through storytelling and gentle movement.
These mini-workshops are for pre-school children (under the age of five) and their parents or guardians, and provide the perfect opportunity to strengthen your relationship with your son or daughter. The event takes place on May 28 at 11am in the Chester Beatty Library, Dublin.
Admission is free but booking beforehand is essential to secure a spot! To book, see https://cbl.ticketsolve.com/shows/1173587521.
Solution for a soothed sleep
Parenting a new-born baby can be extremely difficult, especially on sleepless nights where a child’s restlessness and crying keeps everybody awake. One interesting solution to this problem is using the Lulla-Vibe Vibrating Pad which tucks easily under a crib mattress or bassinet and creates gentle, soothing vibrations to lull the baby to sleep.
There are two vibration speeds and a gradual shut off which helps the baby stay asleep. The soft neoprene cover is durable and easy to clean, and the convenient portable design allows parents to carry it with them on the go.
This is the perfect accessory for bedtime, naptime, or a fussy baby and the power button turns on when held down for three seconds to prevent unintentional activation.
The product means that the whole family can sleep well. Sweet dreams!
Hair today, gone tomorrow!
Getting older usually means paying more bills and going out less, but for many men it is hair loss which is symbolic of the ageing process. Balding affects around four in 10 Irish men and is often a process they dread, but new research suggests that balding may actually be reversible. Dr Nathan Hawkshaw and colleagues, from the University of Manchester’s Centre for Dermatology Research have a discovered that a drug originally used to treat osteoporosis, WAY – 316606, encouraged new growth in hair tissue samples.
“The fact this new agent, which had never even been considered in a hair loss context,” Dr Hawkshaw said, “promotes human hair growth is exciting because of its translational potential: it could one day make a real difference to people who suffer from hair loss.”
