Hello everyone! Last week was a light week, but we still had great information for all of our baby blog readers! If you need to catch up on your reading, here is the week in review at a glance!
July 16 Gerber Cereal Causes Choking?
Gerber has recalled some of their organic cereal because it could pose a choking hazard. However, in this blog, I wonder whether or not the babies who were eating this cereal were really ‘ready’ to start eating solids in the first place. This is a great blog to review when you should start giving your child solids.
July 18 Matching Outfits are Soooooo Overrated!
I know many of you would die of embarassment to see your children walk out of the house in something that wasn’t matched. However, I tend to look at clothing as an opportunity for my children to express themselves. In reality, my kids go out mismatched, by choice, all the time.
July 19 Car Seats Put Infants at Risk for SIDS
A new study has found that improperly fitted car seats put infants at risk for SIDS. Apparently, if the seat is fitted such that it doesn’t recline properly, and the infant’s head can fall forward, then they are risk of SIDS. Make sure your car seat is fitted properly!
July 20 The Terrible Twos Times Two
Ever wonder what it would be like to have twins? Read this blog and you’ll be glad that you don’t have to raise twins during the terrible twos. Even before I gave birth, I knew that this would be the difficult stage rather than the newborn stage. Sure I get more sleep, but I simply lack enough hands to deal with two simultaneous temper tantrums in public.
July 22 Is Your Pediatrician Breastfeeding Friendly?
You’d think that your pediatrician would know best when it comes to breastfeeding but the reality is that many pediatricians do not. Make sure that your pediatrician is compatible with your breastfeeding goals by interviewing him/her before you have the baby!
