4 Baby Shower Ideas Using Smurfs Party Supplies

So, why not throw a baby shower using Smurfs party supplies as a way of along with these pint-sized guests? You could even go as far as bringing in a Smurfette costume for the new baby to wear, and maybe one for the mom also!

Here are four baby shower ideas using Smurfs party supplies:

1. Create a diaper cake Rather than decorating the diaper cake using original baby shower decorations, use Smurf decorations. If you know the gender of the baby, you can focus the decorations on a single male Smurf or Smurfette, in expanding to using Smurfy blue ribbon, or pink ribbon to keep the diaper cake together. Try looking a smurf figurine to place on top of the diaper cake.


2. Bake a Smurf themed baby shower cake The cake decorating section of most craft shop have character themed cake pans, so you might be able to find one there or extra order one. Check online stores, as well. If you can't find a character shaped cake pan, you can still use frosting to draw a photograph of a Smurf on to a round layered cake or a sheet cake. Or, you could bake a cake similar to the diaper cake, and place Smurf figurines on the varied layers as well as colored frosting.


3. Have a costume party On the baby shower invitation, ask that all the children in attendance dress in a Smurf or Smurfette costume. That way, the children can have their own version of the baby shower, and play games off to the side, in someone else room, or surface depending on the weather.Consider enlisting the help of a teen member of the family, or hire a babysitter to facilitate this measure of the party. That way, the adults in attendance can enjoy the baby shower without having to worry about if their children are up to no good or production mischief somewhere.


4. Have a Santa-like surprise gift delivery After the mother-to-be (or both mom and dad) arrive at the baby shower, and everybody is enjoying some food (and the kids are being entertained), enlist the help of someone to deliver all the gifts.When guests arrive, ask them to drop the gifts into your garage, into a car parked out the way, or in someone else hiding spot. Then, the helper can get them into a bag and deliver them to the party. Ask this someone to dress in a Smurf or Smurfette costume so it's the same type of scene as someone dressed as Santa delivering Christmas gifts.

Don't forget to serve food and drinks that are colored blue to added add to the Smurf themed baby shower. Have fun with this, and be as creative as you can with the Smurf party supplies. Use blue and white streamers, blue and white balloons, and blue and white table decorations.

If the baby-to-be is a girl, add some pink flowers, pink foiled candies, pink cupcakes, and other pink goodies. Try to balance the Smurf party supplies with the suitable baby gender colors.

Baby Yeast Infection

Not only can adults with skin folds get a yeast infection, but so can those wondrously-pinchable chunky babies and toddlers. When working as a toddler teacher, I had come across both sexes of children with yeast infections. One of my toddler girls had a huge rash under her armpit. When I pointed this out to her mother, she was brought to the physician that same day. The following morning, her mum came to us with a cream - it was a cream to kill the yeast infection under her armpit! It is truly distressing to have a child who cannot talk, at last come down with a yeast infection.

Baby Yeast Infection

On a baby, the only integrate of signs you get from a girl is just as unnerving to the child as to the mother. If your daughter cries every time she urinates into her diaper, and has a lot of redness and swelling in her vaginal area, then it may be time to take her to the pediatrician. I also had a toddler boy end up with a yeast infection. This child happened to have his foreskin attached to his penis still. If you do not know, many children nowadays happen to have the foreskin removed within a few days after birth - whether for germ-free purposes or religious reasons.

If the foreskin is not pulled back from the head of the penis and cleaned properly, then a yeast infection can occur. One this child, the recurrent yeast infections became so much that his parents ultimately decided to put the child straight through surgery (at 21 months of age) to have the foreskin removed. Now, this does not mean that an uncircumcised boy will all the time get yeast infections, but the parents do need to make sure that they are properly cleaning the area. This also means that the child must be taught to do this as a young man, or, as an adult, that man can get a yeast infection nearby the head of his penis.

Infants can also be susceptible to a form of yeast infection in the mouth, called thrush. Thrush is seen in the mouth a small, white patches on the insides of the cheeks, and the roof of an infant's mouth. It is usually painless, but can come to be uncomfortable sufficient for an infant to refuse to breastfeed. That being said, a mum can covenant a yeast infection in her breasts if her infant has had thrush. Both the infant and the mum would need to be treated for the infection.

On the mother, small red or white patches can show on the breast, as well as red or purple discolored nipples. During breastfeeding, the mum may palpate shooting pain in the breast, or even a more sensitized nipple area. Many antibiotics to treat yeast infections can be passed straight through breast milk, so doctors truly need to exhibit caution when treating this type of infection. Some mothers swear by eating more yogurts that contains good bacteria, and lessening consumption of yeasty foods.

A yeast infection is separate from a diaper rash in that it appears as a flat, red rash with scalloped edges that have some tiny rashes around it. A yeast infection rash may enlarge along the pubic area and onto the lower part of the baby's abdomen.

The yeast infections that affect babies are called Candidas albicans, which is the most coarse cause of all types of yeast infections. A pediatrician can settle whether a rash on the groin or a thrush in the mouth of babies is a yeast infection. To get a definite diagnosis the doctor may seek the scrapings of a yeast infection under a microscope.

Babies who are on antibiotics or who are being breastfed by mothers who are taking antibiotics are at higher risk for yeast infections. That's because antibiotics kill the good bacteria in the body that keep yeast in check. Without these bacteria around, yeast and grow more abundantly.

While applying diaper cream may bring your baby temporary relief from the itching and soreness it will not heal the infection. Without permissible treatment, a yeast infection in the baby's diaper area will get progressively worse.

Anti-fungal medications are the only types of treatment that can get rid of yeast infections. Some pediatricians might write a designate for Nystatin while others may suggest and over the counter treatment like Lotrim Af to treat the diaper yeast infection.

Using antifungal cream, soaking the baby in warm water two times a day and frequent diaper changes will commonly clear up a yeast infection within a few days. While you are treating the yeast infection make sure that your baby's diapers are loose enough to let air in. When changing your child's diapers, make sure the skin on his buttocks and groin area is clean and dry.

Some holistic healing practitioners advocate the use of a diaper cream containing tea tree oil to help clear yeast infections in the diaper area. Others suggest using aloe or pressing damp chamomile teabags directly on the baby's rash.

If your baby recently had thrush (a yeast infection in the mouth), her or she may end up with a yeast infection in the diaper area, too.
