Safe Baby Care Products: Let the Experts Rank Them 2008-05-21 12:51:31 There are thousands of baby care brands on the market, and navigating through them to determine what chemicals are safe and non-toxic is pretty tough since the U.S. regulation on the cosmetics industry is pretty much non-existent. In fact, the U.S. still allows petroleum-based chemicals such as mineral oil and petrolatum in cosmetics. [...] Read more:Products

Chews Wisely 2008-05-19 21:33:30 I’m a huge fan of mom-owned and mom-run companies, especially when they have great product ideas for moms and babies. Smart Mom began in 2002 when Amy and Kendra wanted to promote pretty and practical ideas for real moms. Teething Bling™ was inspired by babies who like to tug on mom’s jewelry.

My Active Son 2008-05-19 09:16:22 Did I mention that we trained Calvin out of the swaddle? It took a couple of weeks of some very tough nights. But, he’s swaddle-free. Of course, he’s taken full liberty at nap-time to occupy himself until he passes out from fatigue.

Milestones 2008-05-24 22:24:24 Calvin turns 7 months next Friday.
On May 22nd, he crawled for the first time. *sniff* He’s growing up so fast! I got choked up when he actually pulled himself forward (instead of pushing himself in reverse). I gave him a hug, then he made a funny sound and started straining. Then, I just had to [...]

Jack’s Harvest is the Cream of the Crop 2008-05-28 22:13:06 Since Calvin first began solids in April, I’ve been making his food from scratch using a commercial grade blender and ice cube trays.

China . . . in Retrospect 2008-05-29 23:06:00 Last year, before Calvin was born, we learned that we were no longer moving to China

7 Months 2008-05-30 14:03:55 Calvin is 7 month’s-old today.
This is the part where I get all sentimental and sappy . . .
He used to be so little. Well, he’s still little, but now he’s grown at least 7 inches taller since birth, and he’s doubled in weight (and then some). He was cute then, but he’s super cute [...] Read more:Months

I’m Going to be a Bridesmaid, but I’m Still Breastfeeding . . . HELP! 2008-06-02 21:55:57 I was honored to be asked to stand with my friend at her wedding this fall.
Then five seconds later, I realized, I have to wear a bridesmaid dress next to other women who haven’t had babies and who aren’t currently breastfeeding. Oh dear!

Good-for-Baby Gut Bacteria 2008-06-04 14:21:03 Almost everyone’s heard about how yogurt can aid in digestion and benefits gut flora for nutritional absorption.

Probiotics are live microbial [...] Read more:Bacteria

Giving Thanks and Being Blessed 2008-06-09 09:24:28 Calvin’s looking cuter than ever these days. At least, that’s what his biased parents think. We’ve been living out of suitcases for over a year now . . . but it’s gonna get a little less nomadic soon. We’re moving to Virginia (God-willing) on Wednesday. Yes, our car is still in the shop, but the [...] Read more:Giving

Death is Painful 2008-06-11 22:17:45 While on the road to Virginia today, I received a call from my mom that her mom (my Amma) passed away yesterday. I was overcome with sadness while trying to keep my eyes dry so I could navigate the interstate.
It wasn’t a big surprise since she was diagnosed with 3rd degree lung cancer about 6 [...]

42 Weeks of Pregnancy . . . Now I Know Why 2008-06-16 23:04:15 Calvin was a 42-week baby. We didn’t miscalculate the due date, although there is definitely room for error. When my midwife checked him out, she noted that he was definitely at 42 weeks and he would’ve been content hanging out in the womb for yet another week.
Why, oh why was that the case? [...] Read more:Weeks
