This guide is the first in a series on unpopular decisions we parents make about our babies.

We all know the latest SIDS research warns against letting your baby sleep in any position except on his back. I […]
Guilty Mommy Pleasures: The Wheel of Time
My husband Tom and I set aside time to read every night before going to bed. Sometimes it’s an hour, sometimes it’s only 15 minutes. But no matter how long it is, it’s always a good way to wind down after a long day. While magazines may be easier to read because they’re broken down […]
Happy 8 months!
TJ, I can’t believe you’re eight months old. You’re eating Stage 3 foods. You love your Gerber Puffs, which have helped you get really good at chewing with your four teeth.

Of course, then you laid there […]
