Proper Nutrition for Infants
Do you really know what the nutrition guidelines are for your baby during his/her first year? There is SO much information that can be very overwhelming and confusing to many parents. When my daughter's pediatrician suggested cereal at 4 months because she didn't seem satisfied after having breastmilk, I questioned him time and time again. I was set on starting solids at 6 months and no sooner, because I was on information overload! My belief, ...
Kalorik Rotisserie Review & Giveaway!
I have a lot of kitchen appliances that are sitting in my cabinet collecting dust. While I love the convenience of my slow cooker, I don't like my food coming out like mush. The only thing I use my slow cooker for is pulled meat sandwiches, which come out perfectly after stewing all day. I also have a grill/griddle that got a lot more usage before I had my daughter. I stopped using it because it was a mission to clean and I just didn't have the ...
Innobaby Food Storage Solutions for Baby!
Purchasing snack cups is inevitable when you have a baby. From the time you introduce them to puffs or Cheerious, you start looking for the perfect solution in bringing food along with you. I've tried it all - storage bags, snack cups, you name it! I've tried those seemingly spill proof cups that always manage to still make a mess in the backseat of the car. Along with storage for snacks, making my own baby food would leave me searching for the ...
Dermalogica Intensive Eye Repair
My mom may not be the most difficult person to shop for on Mother's Day, but finding her something she will actually use is a different story. I know she loves trying new cosmetics, but she can have very expensive taste when it comes to skin care. She is often complimented on how young she looks, even though she doesn't use a strict anti-aging regimen. Maybe wrinkle cream isn't the best Mother's Day gift for everyone, but I know my mom is always ...
National Colic Awareness Month with Born Free (#Giveaway!) #newbornfree
March 1, 2012 marked the first year for National Colic Awareness month! What better company than Born Free to lead the way! Colic is one of those baby "things" that isn't really understood too much. Is colic a belly ache? Is it gas? Is it just general fussiness? Maybe it is your baby adjusting to life outside the womb. Either way, it can be very frustrating to new parents. My little girl suffered from colic during her first few weeks and along ...
mOmma Developmental Meal Set Review
Have you ever seen a baby feed themselves? Their coordination is completely off as they are getting use to the feel of the utensil in their hands and trying to grasp the concept of keeping the food on the spoon or fork. It is quite comical for people watching, but can quickly turn frustrating for the child. With my own baby I notice that she needed utensils that were thicker than the normal forks and spoons I had in my kitchen. She also needed ...
Having A Glass of Wine (or two) While Breastfeeding
It is OKAY to have a drink when you are breastfeeding! The good thing about breastmilk is that it is made on demand and does not actually get stored, so if you decide to have a drink, you can time your pumping or feeding sessions around when you have a drink. I rarely drank when I was nursing my daughter, but I did have an event where I enjoyed a few drinks. I wasn't sure if my milk was safe for her to drink, so I pumped it and dumped it. I know ...
