Baby Shower Event: Sage Spoonfuls
Even though I had to work full time as a teacher when I had my daughter, I still opted to make her homemade baby food. I know you may be thinking with all the great options, including organic jarred foods, why would I even want to take all that time to make homemade baby food on my already limited time. Although I always had jarred food on hand for outings, I felt that homemade baby food would give my daughter a taste for REAL foods, ...
Baby Shower Event: Breathable Baby Bumpers
In the past decade, crib bumpers have been one of the most criticized pieces of bedding. The fear of a baby pressing their face up against the bumper and suffocating has been the topic of conversation, yet so many bedding companies are still including bumpers as part of their crib sets. I have yet to see a crib bedding set that doesn't come with bumpers. Apparently, companies are leaving it up to the discretion of the parents and including them ...
Baby Shower Event: Leading Lady Nursing Apparel
If you are considering nursing your baby, then proper nursing apparel is essential! I knew I needed a few nursing bras, but I never took into consideration what clothing would be best to nurse my baby until after she was here. I also didn't realize the importance a COMFORTABLE nursing bra until I was faced with engorgement (not so fun times!) Leading Lady is a great place to start looking for nursing bras and tank tops. They feature bras for ...
Baby Shower Event- Hands Free Pumping? Check out Simple Wishes!
Although I had to go back to work when my baby was only 8 weeks old, I was committed to exclusively breastfeeding her for at least a year. The lack of support was amazing - "just give her formula," "breast milk isn't satisfying," "don't you think it's weird that she's 6 months old and still on your boob?" Despite all the negativity I received from friends, colleagues, and family, I did it. I pumped for an entire year to give my baby the best ...
Baby Shower Event: Boba Baby Wrap #Giveaway – 3 Winners!
Baby wearing is a must! Especially when you have more than one little one running around! I have no experience with more than one child in my home, but wearing my little girl was the best thing I could do when she was suffering through bouts of colic. There were days she just needed to be held close to me just to soothe her. As much as I loved snuggling with my little one, I still had to take care of housework. Wearing her would give us both what ...
Baby Shower Event: Medela Calma Bottles & #Giveaway!
If you breastfeed your baby, then you may know about nipple confusion. Nipple confusion occurs when you introduce a pacifier or bottle before breastfeeding is fully established. My baby had a slight case of nipple confusion. As soon as I realized I made a big mistake giving her a bottle so soon, I immediately stopped all pacifiers and bottles to get a better handle on breastfeeding. It was difficult to NOT introduce a bottle. My milk took ...
