It is so much fun to watch how quickly a baby grows.  It is so much fun to buy different baby gears and toys for him/her to play with.  What is not so fun is to watch how quickly the baby outgrows a toy or a gear.  Buying a gear or toy that can only be used for [...]

Bravado : The Essential Nursing Tank Review

Among all of the other nursing camisoles I have purchased from, I must admit Bravado Design has the widest range of collection in terms of styles, colors, and sizes.

Stash Wall or Countertop Organizer Review

While I absolutely LOVE being a mom, there are days when I feel overwhelmed with all the baby stuff that we have accumulated over the past 19 months.  I keep wishing there was a cool, functional box, container unit that could help hold the overflow of things I seem to pick up 20+ times a [...]

What is the connection between BabyMoon and Baby’s Flat Head Syndrome?

We have heard of “Back to Sleep” campaigns where parents are encouraged to put their babies to sleep on their backs in the first 6 months of their lives to prevent SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome).

Breastfeeding without losing modesty and style with Bebe au Lait nursing cover

Everyone understands the importance of mother’s milk in a child’s development.  Breastfeeding is a wonderful way to bond with your child through the skin to skin contact.  Breastfed babies feed more often than formula fed babies.

Infant Vision Stimulation – What can your baby see?

Newborns can only see about 8-15 inches away.   That is about as far as seeing the person holding them.   They are also attracted to items with high contrast colors.  They can differentiate dark and light colors, such as black and white, checkered patterns but they are also very nearsighted.
