When it comes to children learning, I'm a big believer in play. You will often hear my girls groaning when I take away their iPads and tell them they HAVE to play with each other or their toys.

We Love The Unique Shape of @Avent_US Natural Bottles!
When it comes to bottles, I've tried them all! With my first baby I chose a bottle system that was most conducive to pumping while I was at work. I had no issues with her taking the bottle I offered her. My second baby was gave me more of a challenge. She didn't like the same bottles her sister took, or the bottles that came with my pump, or any other bottle I tried for that matter. At that same time, Avent had introduced their natural bottle ...

Getting my girls to brush their teeth is by no means like pulling teeth (pun intended) but brushing properly is a different story. My youngest insists on brushing her own teeth, often just sucking off the toothpaste and chewing on her ...
