So, I’m sharing some favorite gift ideas for older toddlers and […]

Snoogle Body Pillow • Baby Bump • Do Chocolate Lovers Have Sweeter Babies? Waistband Extender • Belly Butter • Support Tank • Non-Toxic Nail Polish • S’well Bottle Pregnancy can be super exciting, but also overwhelming, uncomfortable and stressful.

Baby-Led Weaning is a Lazy Parent’s Dream

baby led weaning

I have to admit, it was laziness that initially motivated me to explore Baby-Led Weaning (aka: Baby-Led Eating). But this lazy-parent method of introducing solids is also thought to be more beneficial to the child. Everyone wins! What is Baby-Led Weaning? The term Baby-Led Weaning (BLW) was coined in the UK where “weaning” refers to […]

Everything I Said I’d Never Do as a Parent…

There is a saying, “I was the perfect parent until I had kids.” Boy, that is true! When pregnant with our first, my husband and I would often go through the things we observed other parents doing that we would NEVER do. Many of these still stuck when we only had one kid, but kid […]

8 Things I Learned After a Second Baby

1. Basic math does not apply. Two kids are more than twice as difficult as one… 1+1 >2. Forgive me for this, but I’m going to quote Kim Kardashian. I can’t say I often relate to Kim, but I related to one thing she said after she had her second child: “My mom would always say, about […]

postpartum depression

Women with colicky babies are more than twice as likely to have postpartum depression – at least that’s what a doctor told me. While some women may survive months of arduous colic with their spirits intact, excessive crying can certainly trigger depression. According to Science Daily, having a colicky baby is linked to an increase in […]

Stupid Shit People Said When My Baby Had Colic

Colic is a form of psychological torture. The first five+ months of my son’s life really were the worst of mine. My little baby who was a part of me in every way was miserable and there was not a thing I could do about it. Every day was filled with hours and hours of blood-curdling screaming no matter […]

Baby Bottle Buying Guide

Giving your baby a bottle is not always as simple as grabbing one off the shelf, pouring some breastmilk or formula in and giving it to the baby. Babies have different sensitivities to nipple flow and shape. Some babies will take anything, and some are very finicky. So you don’t want to stock up on […]

Colic Nearly Destroyed Me

colic destroyed me

Two weeks and six days. That is how much time we had with our newborn son before the “colic”. It was a Monday afternoon, twenty days after my son was born when the inconsolable screaming began. Pediatricians generally diagnose colic when a baby’s crying happens in at least three-hour stretches, at least three days a […]
