Dear subscriber,
Thank you all so much for your feedback! We’re listening! The most popular questions we received were sex questions you didn’t want to ask your doctor about, like if your partner masturbating will affect his fertility, if orgasm makes it more likely you will get pregnant or have a certain sex baby. We’ve been through the latest clinical evidence and quizzed our editorial board and here are the answers.
All you need is love! Yes, it’s true! Scientists have proved that a loving touch can reduce stress in a newborn and parental bonding is the best way to have happy stable children. In other news, how to get more B vitamins into your kids diet for good mental health and wellbeing, is organic really better? and how our kids are eating 4 times the daily salt limit hidden in foods we think are healthy like bread, cheese and cereals. In addition to updating Parenthub daily with the latest parenting news, we now also have a clinical trials section – you may be interested in the latest trial on Viagra for women.
Our multilingual song section is increasing weekly – we now have songs in English, German, Dutch and Maori. Songs in Chinese, French, Italian and Gaelic coming in the next week. Have a favourite traditional song you’d like to share? Your contribution would be most welcome.This week’s movie is a great insight into the highs and lows of being a teen.

| Parenting Thoughts | |
"The first art of being a parent consists in sleeping when the baby isn't looking." "Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush, anxious for greater developments and greater riches and so on, so they have very little time with their parents. Parents have very little time for each other, and in the home begins the disruption of the peace of the world." "A two-year old is kind of like having a blender, but you don’t have a top for it." "You couldn't fool your mother on the foolingest day of your life if you had an electrified fooling machine." Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap-on-a-rope.
