We've used a cheap messenger bag from Target and it hasn't been a problem, but we haven't taken the kids on long-haul flights yet. As for pockets, it might be a good idea that have fasteners, to en...
I love those titles. I would've wanted one of those books if they'd been on the shelves when I was young. And yes, I would've taken a peek at the boys' book, too. I'm just waiting until I know kids...
ginapueblo, I appreciate you clarifying what you said. The science on breasfeeding is, from my understanding, not all that clear. None of my sibilings or I was breastfed and we're quite healthy. My...
grb, I appreciate your point of view and the fact that you're basing it on what you read on the book website, which in some way is related to the book. I'm happy to agree to disagree on the way we...

I used a plastic tub, but at 10 months, the girls are in the normal bathtub now. If space is a premium, your friend might like to try just putting the baby in the shower with her (or her partner--t...
As a mother of twins, having the babies share a cot for as long as possible made it easier to get things done quickly. Eventually, they started annoying each other and it became a safety or sleep i...
