Summer for many is the favorite season and although it could be exceedingly hot and humid, there is something about the summer sun that makes us feel liberated. It is especially true in the case of students, who perhaps are the happiest amongst all as they get ready for the summer vacations. For most students summers are about having fun or staying away from studies.

Although summer is the perfect time for a much needed break and relaxation, it also is a great chance to prepare for the upcoming academic season. Researchers believe students stand the risk of losing two valuable months of academic skills during the summer breaks if they completely indulge in fun and do not take part in any learning activities.

It would be unfair to let these kids not have fun during their break. But it is important that they have fun while learn something alongside too. For instance, they could take part in some fun educational program or join some specialty camp or perhaps spend some time reading, which is considered to be one of the better ways of keeping the kids in tune.

For students who were not satisfied with their results could use the summer break as an ideal platform to identify their drawbacks and can work on fixing them. They can also take professional help in finding out the problems and can then rectify before the next season begins. Some kids end up becoming lazy during summers as they prefer playing video games and sleeping late. It is advised that they should indulge in some physical activity or sport so that they enjoy the summer fully and not feel lethargic and sick.

Weaning, the time when a baby shifts from feeding on breast milk to other sources of nourishment is often the biggest worry for many mothers. For many reasons, mothers decide to wean their baby early, so that they can return to their job. However, if weaning is not done at the right time, it may end up making your baby unhealthy and sick. So, it is important that you know the right time of weaning your baby.

Remember, that weaning is a gradual process and needs your patience as a mother. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, babies should be given breast milk only till first 6 months. After that, mothers should start feeding them with a mix of solid foods and some amount of breast milk until they are 1 year old.

Many baby care specialists feel that babyʼs first birthday is the right time to start weaning. This is because, the baby is big enough to be able to take solid food and digest it. In cases, when the mother has no option but to start weaning their baby before 1 year, switching to a baby formula is an ideal solution. However, make sure to give the baby a proper quantity of the baby formula.
