This week, in honor of World Breastfeeding Week, we've asked our contributors to share their favorite nursing picks. I was lucky-- nursing was easy for me. Dressing fashionably while nursing, however, was impossible. In between spit-up, …
The last thing I need as a mom of a newborn is an article of clothing that takes actual brain power to figure out how to put on. Give me no-fuss onesies and slip-on pants and I'm a happy camper. I always thought booties fell into the too…
This week, in honor of World Breastfeeding Week, we've asked our contributors to share their favorite nursing picks. How annoying is it to have to carry around dozens of different cloths, bibs and blankets whenever you take your baby out…
More and more of our readers these days ask us for fragrance-free lotion recommendations for sensitive baby skin. And I don't blame them. I still remember tossing the high-end European stuff that I got at my shower (by my own request), t…
In honor of World Breastfeeding Week, we've asked our contributors to share their favorite nursing picks. When it comes to nursing, I'm an anywhere, anytime kind of gal. In grocery stores, while talking on the phone, while walking with b…
When I was six months pregnant with my second baby, the company I worked for was putting on a big, fancy shindig. Said shindig required me to go on a stage and speak in front of 800 people. I started to stress--mostly about what to wear.…
I can get a little crazy about sun protection (just ask my husband). I douse myself in SPF 30 every single day--no matter the time of year--and I run for the shade at the playground and the park. So it's only natural that I want the same…
My first Ergo was a lot like my first boyfriend. Solid, comfortable, and dependable, if a little thick. But not pretty. Not swoon-worthy. Then Petunia Pickle Bottom got involved. In a babywearing version of She's All That (or Can't Buy M…
Not every baby comes into this world as soon as its parents expect it to. Some of them are years in the making. And for those special little ones, I think this onesie is a pretty darn cute baby gift. The Worth the Wait babysuit and hat s…
Superheroes are so summer 2011--Thor, Xmen, Green Lantern, Captain America have all made the rounds at the movies. It's only a matter of time before my favorite caped crusader gets her day in the sun. This Wonder Woman onesie is the perf…
You know what I love most about my stroller? Having something to toss all my stuff in whenever I'm out. I'm not kidding. I really do depend on a stroller to be my pack mule . And now there's the simplest little invention that helps me do…
I've been a huge fan of my Maclaren Techno XT. It's a 2003. Sadly, it's reaching the end of its usable years and I'm in the market for a new stroller. It must be subway friendly, lightweight and comfortable. Before I just purchase anothe…
I love the idea of buying a keepsake blanket for a baby, but in my experience, they're usually more beautiful than they are useful. However that's not the case when it comes to these mom-designed blankets that are as gorgeous as they are…
We're always sad to see a small shop we love, like Cat in an Apron, close its doors. But there's a silver lining. At least if you'd like to get 50% off their remaining inventory of beautifully tailored clothing , gifts and accessories. C…
Like so many moms, I'm obsessed with those feather-soft muslin swaddle blankets from the beloved aden + anais line. I use the beautifully printed blankies for everything from hiding my nursing newborn to protecting him from the sun and, …

If you don't yet know how awesome BabyLegs are, we're happy to remind you every few months or so. They not only respect the accessibility of the onesie and keep little legs warm in heavily air conditioned places, but diaper changes are a…
Even as an avowed skincare fanatic, I had never sampled the Dr. Hauschka products I'd heard so much about. This line is known for being holistic, ecologically sound, and focused on the body's rhythms and internal processes. Which is grea…
At the end of the day--and there really is an end of the day, when baby has no choice but to conk out, at least for a little while, anyway--all you really need is a good, sturdy crib so that your little one is safe and snug, right? Well,…
I do believe I have just discovered the umbrella stroller to end all umbrella strollers. All hail the Cybex Onyx. First, let me say, the Cybex Onyx is a high-end umbrella stroller. Which means it's not a $25, throw-in-the-trunk, departme…
