Breastfeeding Twins, A mother's journey.

Guest Post by Amanda At just 10 weeks pregnant, I found out I was expecting twins. The hubby and I were shocked but super excited to be blessed with two. My pregnancy, although uncomfortable, went by without a hitch. I was always in perfect health at every doctor’s appointment and the twins were growing perfectly. True to my public health background I had no doubt that I would breastfeed my twins. I read everything I could get my hands on about...

Make your own baby food at home!

Guest Post by Bert There are tons of cookbooks and products out there for making your own babyfood. I did not purchase any of them. In fact, I didn’t decide to make my own baby food until my son was ready to eat meat. That’s when I looked at the packaged meat baby food and decided that I would never eat pureed meat from a jar, why should my kid? Did I buy a special food processor or a special baby food cookbook? No. I’m married to Mr. Frugal...

Featured Product: Raz Baby BPA Free Toothbrush is a must have!

Brushing your teeth is obviously something that baby and child must get used to so in my opinion it's best to get them acclimated to the feel, texture and routine of using a real toothbrush from the start.  You can do just that with the RazBaby BPA Free Baby and Toddler toothbrush!  No worrying about baby gagging or reaching for the brush and cramming it down their throat. The Raz Baby toothbrush has a silicone guard that protects baby...

Leaky diapers? There might be a simple solution.

Often leaky diapers are the reason families want to give up on cloth or think that something is wrong with their diapers.  They wonder, Are they ruined?  Worn out?  Need to be stripped?  Do they have holes or defective PUL?  Is XYZ just a bad brand of cloth diapers? Sometimes when you're troubleshooting leaky or malfunctioning diapers the best place to start is by trying the simplest solutions first. Check the size. ...

The Quest for the Perfect Nursing Bra!

Guest post by Bert The quest…it took a long time but I think I have finally found a nursing bra to support my rather well endowed chest. That’s right. Well endowed. I have never struggled in that department and it’s a family trait. From an early age and after Oprah aired her bra show featuring bra fittings at Nordstrom’s my mother has been insistent that my sister and I have good supportive bras to lift the girls up! With my daughter, Lady Bug,...

The day I squirted breastmilk in my eye, on purpose!

Just thought I'd share today.  No, this is not about a breastfeeding blooper or accident! Something I never thought twice about doing for my kids when needed, was squirting breastmilk in their eye, it never occurred to me that I too could benefit from it and need it. If you nurse your kids then you know the awesome healing power of breastmilk, not just as a nutrient for your growing babes, but as a topical treatment for scrapes.  Beyond...
