You could make this one in the form of a step cake or a single layered cake. At the bottom of the cake, add a bunch of flowers and branches. Around the next tier, you could wrap a bow. You could also include some polka dots and some cute little animals like a giraffe or elephants on the top of the cake. If you are planning on having an animal-themed shower, then this vibrant cake is the way to go. When you add many layers to the cake, make sure that each layer has a different theme.
2. Pastel Paradise
When it comes to baby shower celebration, pastels can add elegance to it. When making a cake for a baby shower, it doesn't have to be sky blue or soft pink. You can mix both blue and pink and make a gender-neutral cake. You can get it in any shape you like. The beautiful pastel base will impart a royal touch to it. The cake could either be of one colour or incorporate several different light colours.
3. A Cake with a Song
There are definitely parents out there already singing sweet kid rhyme like “Twinkle, twinkle little star”. You might have started planning on decorating the baby’s nursery with stars and moons. This cake is perfect for you. “Twinkle, twinkle little star” is a classic rhyme people sing to their children. You can get a cake made with cute fluffy clouds, beautiful moon, and shining stars on it. This cake is also perfect for parents who are into music and, perhaps, want to teach music to their own children. All of these amazing little details on this edible cake would definitely take your baby shower to a whole new level.
4. All About Baby
This idea might seem a little obvious but if you have not found a theme you like then why not make it all about the baby. If you are going for a classic “baby” theme, then the decorations could be necessary products like rattles and diapers which the mommy could take home afterwards. Regardless of the gender, the theme could have any colour. Fitting with the theme, the cake could be all about the baby too. The cake could be a sheet cake having a baby-themed image drawn on it. It could also have a nice 3D version that shows off objects the future child might need or want.
5. A Classy Cake
There are many types of fabulous and bright cakes, but there are many parents out there who might not want their baby shower to be too bright or very colourful. If you are one of those parents who want the shower to be a bit more dramatic or want to keep it classy or simple, then this cake is perfect for you. The classy colours like white, black, and gold can be used for a cake. The cake could have double layers - different colours for each layer. You could make one layer black, the next, white, and have a golden crown on top of the cake. You could also have a few golden dots and have “welcome baby” written in golden letters on the last step of the cake.
6. A Fun Cake
If the theme of the baby shower is all about fun then it should reflect in your cake too. This cake could be of a nice blue base with amazing lime-green and orange polka dots. You could also have a few little block letters at the bottom of the cake which says “welcome baby”. The best part of the cake is that you can add an adorable little elephant on top of the cake. This cake is really cheerful and modern and has the right amount of child-like quirkiness. It could work around themes that are centred on a circus.
7. A Fairytale Cake
Besides listening to rhymes, children also love listening to happy fairy tales. This cake could feature some of the best fairy tales out there following the bedtime tradition of fairy tale readings. You could have the characters of 'goodnight moon', 'the very hungry caterpillar', 'the frog prince', 'the little mermaid' on this cake. You could also write the titles of these cakes written out on the icing with many different colours. You could also have little figures based on the book to match with the cake. It does not matter if you are a child or an adult, everybody would want to have a bite of this book. This cake would work for any themed shower especially if you are into reading a lot of books.
8. Covered in Sprinkles
If your baby shower is going to be a big party, then this cake screams party! This special cake can be covered in rainbow sprinkles which are very festive. The inside of the cake can be filled with colourful candies. The vibrant colours and the bright image would fill the room with energy. Your decorations could be geometric art, confetti, colourful tablecloths, balloons, cupcakes, and sprinkle themed cake. Your guests are going to have an unforgettable time.
9. A Rustic Cake
If you want to follow the latest trends, then rustic cakes are perfect. While most of the parents are thinking about icing, it is better if you thought different and went for this cake with little to no icing. You can leave some of the cake still exposed and spread a thin layer of icing on the cake. This will create a fantastic artistic effect which tastes great. You could also add some greenery around this cake as well as a cake topper. The cake topper could be a banner that spells out the name of the mommy. This cake would work well for a baby shower that is being organised in a garden.
10. A Triple Lemon Cake
A fresh and pure lemon cake has a classic natural feel to it. It creates pleasure for the senses and provides a scene of innocence. You could keep a lavender sprig on top of the cake which will bring a feeling of walking in the forest. This would be the perfect cake for you and your guests to enjoy. The cake also shows its strength by standing beautifully upright. Moreover, the cake is creamy and smooth, and it has a divine lemon taste to it.
11. Watercolour Buttercream
Everybody loves an artistic idea. This cake brings out a new trend as it is a lovely watercolour cake made with buttercream and not a common fondant icing surface. This cake is made from whipped vanilla, dark chocolate with buttercream and little rainbow sprinkles. The dark chocolate and the vanilla frosting have a stunning contrast to it when paired together. You could also add a few edible gold leaves if you want to create a dramatic effect. The cake could be of any colour - it doesn't have to be pink or blue.
12. A Vanilla Cake With Ombre Macaroons
The gradual blending of one shade to another is called ombre, and this could make an amazing baby shower layer cake. For an impressive layer cake, you could choose a pink-berry colour to make a show-stopping cake. Then again, you can choose any colour combo you desire from bright rainbow stripes to pretty pastels. Each layer of the cake could have different colours to have a multilayered effect. Now you can make this cake more fun by adding some macaroons. This makes it sound too good to be true which means it is an amazing idea for your baby shower. You could also decorate the cake with some rainbow sprinkles.
13. A Gift Box Cake

In this cake too you can have a mix and match of colours. You can use gender neutral colours like yellow or grey. The gift box could also have a large white edible ribbon on top to give it a real effect.

This cake will have six colourful layers with a whole lot of confetti sprinkles. This would be a stunning centrepiece at your baby shower.

This is such a pleasant baby shower cake.
16. A Traditional Baby Shower Cake
You can check out this cake if you are going for a little more of a traditional theme. You can go for a simple cake with a cute bear sitting on it. You could have many traditional designs like the clothes drying on the line. You could have writings on small edible baby blocks. You could have pink and blue icings to make the cake gender neutral. This would make a delightful and adorable baby shower cake.
17. A Baby Buggy Cake
This cake idea is one of the best unique baby shower cake ideas. It is a baby shower cake in the shape of a baby buggy! The baby buggy can be of any colour, either blue or pink.

If your baby shower is completely baby themed, then this cake is the perfect symbol.

Approaches to Learning: 3-6 years
By the time the child is 3 years old, he has pretty much figured how he wants to learn and has a set pattern or approach towards learning. Some learning skills are natural and inbuilt, but parents can further develop an approach towards learning – leading towards a better attitude towards learning, and thereby, allowing children to make the best out of the opportunities in education.
By the time the child is three years old, he knows what he wants and can express freely what he needs. When they play they learn to ignore distractions and focus on playing. Play is important for children at this stage because it allows them to learn and explore feelings even now. They even learn to complete a difficult task. When a child explores, he is using all his senses. By the time his language skills develop, he begins to ask questions and starts discussions. Creative thinking and problem-solving becomes a part of his life as a toddler.
How to Help Your Child Develop a Better Approach Towards Learning
1. Identify Interest
The child, at this stage, starts forming opinions and behaves consciously while choosing activities and playmates. An interesting and engaging activity can keep him focused for longer period of time even though there would be several distractions. Parents can identify what these activities are, so they understand what interests him most. Persistence starts building in when there is an activity that piques his interest and he continues to work on the puzzle, that has caught his interest, until it is finished. He will start being independent while eating, dressing and grooming. Allow your child to be independent as he chooses to be.
2. Questions Galore
Be ready for a lot of questions as your child gets curious. Seeking and engaging in sensory activities and other experiences, asking questions about how to get to a particular place, playing in new locations are some of the things he will do. Indulging in his questions and being patient while answering him, develops his desire to know more and further fuels his curiosity.
3. Reasoning and Problem-solving
Thinking and problem-solving is the highest at this stage. He is analysing his every move and trying to make life easier for himself. If one of his shoes doesn’t fit in one foot, he might try another foot to wear it. If he isn’t able to do a task, he might ask for help quite vocally.
4. Imagination Picks Up
Pretend play is probably what your toddler does from the time he turns one. He might be engaging in pretend play alone but now he will engage in pretend play with other children. Indulging in his pretend play does a lot to a child’s confidence. So if your son makes you a cup of tea, be gracious enough to pretend drinking it and commenting that it was the best tea ever. Creating interesting scenes of him being a doctor and you a patient is another such option. The more you encourage your child to use his imagination, the better attitude he will build towards learning.
Allowing your child to play is possibly the best ground you can set to improve his attitude towards learning – a way to learn how he learns. Read more

All You Need to Know About Breastfeeding Your Child
Hi mommies! Are you worried about breastfeeding your newborn? How and when to do it? How frequently to breastfeed? What positions to be taken care of while feeding your baby? Several such questions keep popping up in the minds of new mothers. You have your bundle of joy in your hand, and then you think whether you are doing everything right for them. You worry if your baby is fed well or if it is starving. In this article, I will discuss all the questions that pop up in the minds of new mothers regarding breastfeeding.
What is breastfeeding?
It is a process of feeding milk to a child from breast post-childbirth/delivery.
When do I need to start breastfeeding?
It is recommended to start immediately after delivery. However, some mothers get their milk from lactation glands from day 2 of childbirth. Also, there are cases when some may find it difficult to produce milk even after two days.
Why is it important to breastfeed your child?
Breast milk is the main food for your baby. Apart from providing all required nutrition, it helps the child fight infections, sickness, and obesity. It also helps build and strengthen your child’s immunity.
How frequently should I be breastfeeding?
Breastfeeding can be done after every 2 hours until the sixth month of the baby.
Should I be breastfeeding at night?
Yes, children need to be fed at night too.
How do I hold the baby for breastfeeding?
The mother needs to sit erect with the baby over her tummy. The baby needs to be aligned straight on her arms with the head held in the mother’s palm. There should be skin-to-skin contact while breastfeeding. The baby’s neck must be tilted a little upward to ensure that airways are not blocked during breastfeeding.
Do I need to feed the baby on both sides at the same time?
No. At once, only one side of your breasts is recommended to be used for feeding. The child can be fed from the other breast the next time.
How do I know if my baby is sucking properly?
Latching is very important in breastfeeding. The baby needs to latch to the breast well. The maximum part of the areola needs to be inside the child’s mouth while breastfeeding. The areola is the black part that surrounds the nipple. The areola supplies the breast milk, and the nipple is used as the outlet for the milk. Observe the baby’s cheeks while feeding; puffiness on cheeks must be noticed while the baby sucks the milk.
How long do I need to breastfeed at a time?
It is best not to breastfeed more than 30 minutes at a time. Sucking requires spending a lot of energy and should not be more than half an hour as it may exhaust the baby.
What if the baby is not able to suck properly?
Consult the doctor to check the oromotor functioning of the baby. Also, get your breasts evaluated before lactation. Oromotor stimulation may be required for some babies with weak oromotor musculature or who are preterm. The stimulation might also be necessary for babies with low birth weight or who had complications during delivery.
What if the baby has difficulty latching?
Examine the nipples of your breasts to check if they are flat or inverted. Nipple massage or the use of a nipple shield can help.
I hope all these answers to basic questions regarding breastfeeding will help you feed your child better.
Breastfeeding is the ultimate source of nutrition for your child and strengthens the bond between you and your baby. To be able to breastfeed is to be able to help your baby in growth and development. Breast milk is the purest and sweetest milk. Stay healthy, hydrated, and happy. And you mommies will definitely rule it.
