Binkie? Pacifier? Soother? Whateveryoucallit...We have tried A LOT of different ones and to be honest, most of them are great. My baby girl has liked a lot of them and disliked some of them, but there is one we have found that she has taken a special liking to...in fact let's go with a full on 'she is obsessed with it'. It is the Natursutten Orthodontic Pacifier. It is 100% natural, biodegradable, and orthodontic (win! win! win!). It is a rubber pacifier that naturally calms and soothes babies and I love the orthodontic feature because having dentist brother I know how important this...

I have a big dog. Her name is Doris and she is a 78 pound Labradoodle. She is very sweet but also very hyper and energetic. Before I had my baby I was worried about how my dog was going to react to her. Would she like her? Would she be gentle around her? I did not want to have to give her away, but more importantly, I did not want to put my baby in any danger.   I did a lot of research on introducing dogs to babies and how to make that a smooth and safe transition....

Since we have a little teether (and lots of drool!) of our own we've tried a bunch of teethers. Here are some of our favs: 1. Wink Naturals Cool Gum's Teething Gel. Duh, I guess you could say, but seriously, we wouldn't have made it without it. I keep one in my diaper bag, one in my room, one in the living room, and one in the nursery. It keeps baby girl calm and her gums cool and not bothering her so much! It's a lifesaver! 2. Our first sign of teething came when baby girl started munching on her binky clip...

Ok guys, making baby food is so SO easy… and way cheaper than buying the pre-made store bought food. Honestly, my baby even liked it better than the purchased baby food. Why make your own? It is CHEAPER! And personally, I like knowing exactly what I’m feeding my baby.  I was just at the store and was walking down the baby aisle and saw that baby food ranges from .79 for one jar and 1.17 for the Gerber 2 packs, and then 1.25 for the squeeze packs. That is going to get expensive real fast. On the flip side, 2-3...

Milk supply decreasing? Mine was.   I have a friend who puts cows to shame. Me, on the other hand, have had to work hard to keep my milk supply up. The slightest workout causes my milk supply to thin and decrease-it's so frustrating.   It can be so stressful worrying about your milk supply and thank goodness there are amazing formula options out there that offer fabulous nutrition. For those who are wanting to increase their milk supply, I found a simple smoothie that helped with mine. Now, it may not be the most delicious but it worked for me...
