Hypnosis for birthA birth without fear is possible, minimising any pain. Our baby was born without fear, by use of relaxation, visualisation and a positive approach. It is helpful to avoid negativity; I found this made my pregnancy fun and exciting. I've used Hypbirth twice now - Baby Jett was 9 pounds 10! |

Why "Tribal Baby"? "How would we raise our baby if we were in a tribe?" This is the question we asked ourselves when deciding the best way to raise our baby. Looking at the research, and experience of others tells us that many of the things that our ancestors did through necessity, are still the most beneficial things for our baby today. What natural approaches are best suited and expected of a baby, biologically, throughout human history? Funnily enough, we have found all of these approaches an easier way to transition into the job of being a family. Traditional, gentle and responsive options, with the needs of a dependent infant supported tenderly. News at Tribal Baby
The new section is now open. Over 1200 subscribers at present, growing daily! The HUNT was ON! Nov 1-30
Progress with new Tribal Baby Sites at last! October 2008: Thanks to Chris, we are about to open the new sites. They are online now, just not 'officially' open as we and some friends are testing the membership software for glitches. I think we have signed up about 15 times so far. The glitch list is getting smaller and smaller. With over 550 people on my priority list waiting to join up, it's not a moment too soon... Tribal Baby was a Sponsor of the Great Cloth Nappy Hunt in 2008. The 5th Great Cloth Nappy Hunt was held during September, 2007. Tribal Baby came second place in the Sponsor Awards in the category of "Best Overall Site". Thanks for your votes! So close, I was beaten by an extreme site. (One of the very tricky hunts - I couldn't find it at all!) Tribal Baby was a 'Hunt Treasure' of the day at Cloth Dreaming:
Below is a snippet... During the mini hunt at Tribal Baby you will learn just a little about Chris and Charndra's (the site owners) passion for elimination communication (creating a nappy free baby), as well as some other interesting facts on sleep sharing, breastfeeding, baby led solids and hypnosis for birth. The facts are short and concise so you don't feel overwhelmed with information, however you can read more at any time. The information on the site is well researched and combined with personal experiences and photos to help explain the facts thoroughly in a way that other parents, new to these ideas, will easily be able to understand and put into practice. Read more... Leah is the author of Cloth Dreaming, a blog dedicated to all things cloth nappy. Since discovering the world of MCN's she has been extremely passionate about getting the word out to the masses that 'Cloth is Great'. It's better for baby, better for the environment, better for your pocket, better looking and A LOT more fun. A baby brother for Maven arrived July 28th, 2008. At Canberra Birth Centre, 5.13am, home that night at 4.30!
Here is Maven, Jett and I. Maven and Jett are quite different in hair, eye colour and skin tone, but share the same chin dimple and look quite similar as well. Maven is caring of Jett, empties his potty and gets dry cloths (flannels) and soothes him. It is lovely.
He has his first cast on to correct the talipes of his left foot (which will take 7 casts, at the moment weekly, then treatment until he is three years old) Talipes - An EC challenge? It seems not - his cast is set at the classic EC position, so no problems there. He is a trouper and already dislikes nappies, which he seldom wears, (we use cloths and EcaPants and japanese prefolds at the moment, disposables on some outings) and is giving good eye contact (Giving me the 'eye' - and he has the sweetest little eyes) when he needs to go or making noises and being more active when he needs to go. Just as amazing to do the second time around...plenty of wet things to wash of course, but lots of catches too! New Tribal Baby on the way! Here I am at 36 weeks, and Maven rubbing his baby brother!
Well, due to a series of personal events that are beyond belief, I have been unable to work on my site for some months as I recover and also prepare for our new baby. We are sooo close, too! Tribal Baby was a Sponsor of the Great Down Under Nappy Hunt in 2008. The 4th Great Down Under Nappy Hunt was held during March, 2007. Tribal Baby was one of the runners-up for the Sponsor Awards in the category of "Best Overall Site". Thanks for your votes! Tribal Baby was a Sponsor of the Great Down Under Nappy Hunt in August. The 3rd Great Down Under Nappy Hunt was held from August 1st - 31st, 2007. It was a great experience and I plan to join again next year. Click on the link below to find about about upcoming hunts - there are a couple each year. Learn about upcoming hunts by visiting this site The hunt is FREE and there are heaps of cool prizes... just for browsing the Net! Talking on 96.5 Radio in Queensland, Australia I talked to Tanya Gordon on a radio show in Queensland at the end of April, as a result of the article in "That's Life". "Baby Toilet Training http://www.96five.com/audio/Baby_Toilet_Training.mp3 We are very excited to have been named as "Parenting Resource of the Month" and reviewed on the www.naturalchild.org site for April, 2007. That wonderful gentle parenting resource has been so inspirational and supportive to me. The review can be read at Parenting Resource of the Month "The Parenting Resource of the Month honours web sites and other resources that provide critical information and encouragement to parents, and which help to promote loving and trusting relationships within the family as a means to a saner and more trusting world" "That's Life!" Issue 16 April
18, 2007 She wrote a lovely positive article about our EC experiences for
the magazine, which was 'sensationalised' just a little bit by the editors, I am
still chuckling over it!! Although positive, it conveyed a false impression
of EC being as as simple as removing a nappy and going 'sss'. If only it were
that easy, everyone would still be doing it!! EC takes a little more teamwork
than that, but is so worth an investment of time and love for the joys it
brings. Front Cover: My Baby - toilet trained in two weeks! (Not
precisely, but he was certainly responding daily!!) We went to great lengths explaining it ISN'T toilet training but
gradual toilet I was fortunate indeed to be on air in a segment of
Simple
Savings' show with Laurie Boucke talking about EC to Fiona Lippey, founder
of Simple Savings, a great site. "What is 'elimination communication?' Laurie
Boucke, infant
potty training expert explains what it is and how to begin raising a nappy free
baby. Sounds impossible? Keep listening, you'll be surprised!" The recording is not currently available, but hopefully will be
again soon. |
