Hi, mom of 2 kids here 4 and almost 2 years old with another on the way due in July. My maternity wardrobe is looking like it’s been through 2 pregnancies (actually 4 if you consider many of the hand me down pieces). Anyways, looking to fill some gaps and wondering what the story is on leggings this year. Seems like they were so hot with tunics last year and now?? Could be cute or could be stuck in ‘09 what do you think?

Chunky knit cardigans are great fro going from Winter to Spring – if you are squeezing into your non-maternity coat at the moment, why don’t you opt for one of the chunky knit cardignas to see you through the last weeks of winter.(hopefully!!)

Bellybutton, Noppies and Attesa Maternity all did great ones.

Comment on Your toddler and new baby: How to prevent jealousy by dena

It seems unlikely that your daughter could be jealous of a baby that is not going to be born for another 25 weeks. She may be too young to even comprehend that you are going to be having a new baby, even though you may have explained it to her many times. Young children don’t have much concept of what the future holds, they react to what is going on in their lives RIGHT NOW. Most likely she is going through an attachment stage, which is very normal for toddlers. If there is something else that’s changed in her life recently, like going to daycare or moving to a new home, that could make her more clingy. In my opinion, you might be better off NOT placing too much emphasis on your pregnancy. Just try to give her as much affection and attention as you can now, and even after the baby comes make sure she does not feel neglected! Good luck!

Comment on Belly Wraps for Postpartum Tummies by christine

i binded my tummy after baby #2 but not with #1 and i still have a little flab. its probably the same as not binding. its just that binding just makes it go down a lot faster but i’ve noticed diet and excersie works best. unless you’re one of those skinny people that no matter if you bind or not, have no flab after baby. and i do know a lot of those people. one of my friends binded hers for 3mos. after baby and still have the flab. it doesnt matter if you bind or not it really depends on your body and tummy. sadly, everyone is different. if you have the money go for it, if not just wait it out and diet and excersie it will do the same. =)

Comment on Sleeping Safely with your Baby by M.B.

M.B. — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 19:14:00 +0000

I concur with Pam about her safe sleep recommendations. I work for an agency that does bereavement for families who have lost babies to SIDS and other sleep-related deaths. We have actually seen an increase in infant deaths in parent beds over the past couple of years as bedsharing increases in popularity.

As for the statistic that SIDS occurs more frequently in cribs than in adult beds, this is very misleading. This argument refers to the shift in Medical Examiners’ practice to classify deaths in adult beds as Accidental Suffocation rather than SIDS. This shift is actually due to the increased understanding among medical professionals that babies are less likely to succumb to either SIDS or accidental suffocation when they are placed on their backs, in a crib, with nothing else in the crib to pose a barrier to their breathing.

Accidental suffocation in this case refers to the process of re-breathing exhaled carbon dioxide. Scientists who study SIDS believe that a baby can actually suffocate when an object (such as a blanket, pillow, bumper pad, sleep positioner, or even the baby’s mattress if he is on his tummy) blocks adequate oxygen from entering the baby’s breathing space. This type of suffocation occurs silently and rapidly, usually while the baby is sleeping. The trend for MEs is to use SIDS only as a diagnosis of exclusion, when there are no possible barriers to the baby’s breathing (i.e., when the baby is found alone, on its back, in a crib with no soft bedding, etc.)

Logically, if MEs are not classifying deaths as SIDS when the baby is found in an unsafe sleeping environment, they are not classifying deaths in adult beds as SIDS. The deaths are still occurring; they are just being classified as accidental suffocation rather than SIDS.

Comment on 2010 Baby Name Trends by Joanne Justis

Greetings,

It is amazing all of this talk about baby naming, picking names and just how misinformed parents-to-be are. They would be shocked to learn the truth about baby naming and what is really involved with picking names and how that name will affect their child. The most priceless gift parents can bestow on their child is his/her name. The name parents pick will reveal their child’s personal characteristics and traits while the birthdate reveals the child’s development.

Each name inked on a birth certificate along with the birthdate forms a blueprint that each child is born with. Using Chaldean Numerology, we can decipher the code that resides within each name using a proven, ancient mathematical formula. The name calculates the three core characteristics: Soul Desire, Personality and Purpose which is influenced by the naming convention.

Here’s an example. Suri means Princess in Hebrew, Red Rose in Farsi and PickPocket in Japanese, so what does the name really mean. It means whatever the name means in a given culture but that meaning does not have any bearing on the child in any way as a standalone name. The combination of the first and last name or first, middle and last name is what determines the characteristics that in turn reveal the behavior of the child.

Getting your child’s name right can have implications on their career. In fact, studies show that daughters given more masculine-sounding names make more money and have greater chances of advancement. Something to think about!

Comment on Vitamin D is Vital During Pregnancy by vitamin d

All mummy’s wants their child to be healthy in every way. Sometimes an infant has some problem at birth from womb. Deficiency of vitamin d is increasing now-a-days so I think all pregnant woman should be getting proper vitamin d.
