Before having my son, I had no idea what I would “really” need. You kinda just have to take the advice of friends. Well, now I can finally give my very own TOP PICKS list!! We use the graco pack-n-play w/ changing station for downstairs diaper changes. He did sleep in it for a few weeks in our room after growing out of his bassinet – but I’m still not sure it’s a MUST HAVE. Avent...

My son is smiling more than ever now that hes hit the 3 month mark. I hear this is normal. Every morning after my wife feeds him, she brings him back to our bed in his pajamas or new outfit for the first half of the day. However, within the last 1-2 weeks he has been routinely smiling in overdrive during the 8-11am time frame. Its extremely cute. He usually wants to take a nap or we take him on an outing so...

I’ve been hearing so much about the Bumbo seat. Everyone seems to be raving about it, so I just ordered one for my son. I’ll review it when it arrives. Can’t wait! Some Bumbo Information: The Bumbo Seat is a snug and cozy environment for your baby. This revolutionary infant chair is designed to fit a babyâ..s posture. Babies can sit upright in a Bumbo Seat as soon as they have head control....

Tomorrow he will be 12 weeks so he’s just about a week or so away from being 3 months. Everyone said that is the magic age where everything gets better. He is so responsive now. He smiles...

Wow – this is painful!!! I’m breastfeeding and seem to have a clogged milk duct. I found a small lump in my areola which soon progressed in severe engorgement of half of my breast b/c the milk would not come out. Finally after hot compresses, massage, pumping and nursing as much as I could, it finally drained. Two days later, it happened again. Once again, it’s drained, but I am so scared it...

Well, 3 days after I posted about labor pains, I got induced and my son was born on June 29, 2005 at 6:19 pm. He weighed 8 lbs 3 oz. and was 20.5 inches long. No wonder I was uncomfortable. I was literally ALL baby (only gained 17 lbs total during pregnancy) and he was a pretty big one. He now weighs 15 lbs and is 24 inches long. My big boy is growing nicely. I love being a mommy and I love my little boy more...
