The irresponsibility it not surprising, but what it's tainted with is just plain disgusting. Beetles {parts and larvae} contaminated Similac formula made in Abbott Laboratories. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration cautioned that tiny insect parts could irritate babies delicate digestive tracts, and might make them refuse to eat. Really...you don't say. {insert eyeroll} The powder was sold throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam, and certain Caribbean countries.

breastfeeding mamas: night-weaning
September 13, 2010 By 10 Comments
I'm ecstatic that Ethan is sleeping through the night now -- just started this week at 9 months old and it's great! Problem is, I'm used to breastfeeding him 4 times through the night and the "girls" aren't too happy about it. After a week you'd think that my milk supply would adjust, right? Well, we have no signs of adjusting around here.... He goes to bed around 7pm and I have to wake him up if he hasn't already woken up between 6:30-7:30am because I'm in so much pain! I'm engorged like I was … [Read more...]

BumbleWee Nursing Wear is an online boutique for fashionable moms who want functional, stylish nursing and maternity clothing. BumbleWee is in the business of making moms beautiful when they're not exactly feeling their best. After 5 hours of broken sleep {if that!} it's really hard to get up, showered and ready to go for the day. All we want to do is crawl into comfy sweats and hope nobody comes to the door. Which is totally fine some days of the week - we all need to grub around sometimes. … [Read more...]

colic calm: homeopathic all natural gripe water
August 13, 2010 By 5 Comments
If you're a parent, you've likely been there: your baby is crying, kicking, fussing, has their little lip stuck out and you can't figure out what's wrong. After a warm bath, a clean diaper, a full tummy, swaying, rocking, bouncing, burping - nothing helps. Baby's little tummies are extremely sensitive. Even little things like the extra acid that forms in their saliva to help soften the gums during teething is upsetting or when mom is breastfeeding and happens to eat something that doesn't … [Read more...]

Mommies who have given their babies the beautiful gift of powerful enzymes, macronutrients, minerals, vitamins, essential fatty acids, T-cells and at least 200 types of immunoglobin, celebrate! And tell me: what was your favorite breastfeeding moment? With both my children, it's having them put skin to skin on my tummy immediately after birth and bringing their warm little bodies up to latch; doing exactly what they are ingrained to do. A close second would be milky smiles while they're … [Read more...]

bravado: bliss nursing bra
June 17, 2010 By
Everytime Bravado releases a new bra {like here and here} it immediately becomes a favorite! Bravado perfected comfort, style and function which is why the brand is so well known and breastfeeding mommies swear by them. Ask any mom which brands she recommends and chances are the name Bravado will be in her list of faves. I have to say though, that the newest addition to the Bravado collection known as "Bliss" might be the best yet. They have managed to create a nursing bra that is … [Read more...]

Throughout my pregnancy, I've been incredibly fortunate to try a variety of safe and natural pregnancy products and hopefully have saved some of you from making purchases you didn't need! I don't know if it's that my pregnancy is just very different this time or if it's a direct correlation of the products I'm using, but I'm noticing a major difference in my skin from head to toe as compared to being pregnant with my first. I have a feeling it's the latter since I am having a boy again and my … [Read more...]
