I have a small European crib (stokke) and a large American baby. We have used the crib bumper because he cries without it. He actually does hit his head when he sleep across the shortest length of ...

We had a Fisher Price rocker that someone gave us then a Maclaren rocker. My son liked both only when the vibration thing was turned off. My pediatrician also told me to get him an exersaucer when ...

I love this museum! It even inspired me to write my senior art history thesis on kitsch, camp and bad art back in the day. Their catalog had me double over laughing in the bookstore. Hilarious!

I love my son and hope that our second child will also be a boy. I find nothing scarier than a teenage girl! Been there, done that and would have nothing positive to share with my own teenage daugh...

This is great for traveling! We LOVE ours. I would not recommend it for petite people. My son is about 28 pounds, which makes carrying him in it a bit of a workout. I have found it can't be rolled ...

I, too, was designated AMA. I vowed to NOT read any pregnancy magazines just because our society seems weirdly obsessed with pregnancy. I think it helped me along in what turned out to be a difficu...

Genxmom: our government follows a scientific policy that needs scientific proof that a plastic causes X bad thing(s) to happen. It doesn't ban a plastic until it is deemed safe by science (like in ...

Yes, yes, yes. We must have the "required" breast feeding post. Sigh. But some people cannot breast feed. Thanks for your unhelpful and unneeded post.

I used our computer chairs. Highly recommend them if you don't have room for more furniture. Worked like a charm!

Deoxy, in your link they state that the powdered formula is the recommended type of formula if you don't use liquid as the BPA exposure is lower. But I wonder what hundreds of other p...

We just bought a Kettler trike. My son, who is 15 months, loves to ride in it. He prefers to be on the trike instead of in the stroller now. As for swing sets or climbing structures, our neighbors ...

We live in Washington DC for work. We prefer to live in DC so we are opposite the commuters. We also don't want to be slaves to the car and can take advantage of a city atmosphere (yes, NYers I kno...

My 15 months old son's favorite toys aren't really toys. He spends a good part of the day moving things (large stereo speakers, dining room chairs, ottoman, etc.) around. He also enjoys banging the...

I worked in the software field before the birth of my son. My company wasn't flexible and I had serious daycare issues (my name on the waiting lists never came up). Infant daycare is a serious prob...

Has anyone ever hired a professional organizer? I have some serious storage issues in my house (rental). Basically, I need help with kitchen and clothing storage. What is the process like?

should be "asked".... After reading the other posts, I have to say the nursery is cute, minus the moon. But since she was pregnant while touring, I can see why she would want it. I cou...

When Max was ask for his thoughts..... "Big moon wants to kill me!," screamed baby Max.

I didn't find the people shocking or upsetting. We didn't go all out baby proofing. We did put baby gates on the stairs and a door clip on the kitchen cabinet with the cleaning supplies. He has avo...

I don't understand the concept of a diaper bag so I haven't bought one. Why are they better than a regular bag? They seem extremely popular judging by the posts here. I guess I would liked to be en...

I really disliked this book. I was already speaking in short sentences to my son when I mean business, like "No touch!" Nothing insightful, IMHO..and I don't know much about child development. I fo...
