Mom Dilemma: Making Time for Non-Mommy Friends

Posted, May 29th, 2013, By CJ

Ever since Baby C was born, I’ve met a lot of amazing moms and dads. I love chatting about our baby experiences, parenting techniques, our love for babywearing, breastfeeding struggles and successes. It’s definitely great to be able to connect with other parents but it made me think…what about my non-mommy and non-daddy friends? Do my friends without kids care about teething, late night feedings, fussiness, being the 75% percentile for height, when they started solids, when they started sitting on their own or crawling??? The answer is most likely not.

Ever have one of those weekends where you do absolutely nothing? Well, that was this past weekend for us. Baby C just got his vaccinations and might possibly be going through another growth spurt so we took advantage of his extra long naps and caught up on some zzzz’s too!

We have a busy May ahead with baby showers, birthdays and traveling so we left the cleaning, laundry, and dishes and just relaxed. Sometimes I wish I had a nanny, housecleaner and personal assistant but that’s what mommies are for right?!?!

Our Baby’s Favorite Natural Products

Posted, April 28th, 2013, By CJ

Before we had our son, we never really gave it much thought about buying eco-friendly or natural products. A few months before I had our little guy, I started to ask myself: are organic or natural products like hand soaps and lotions worth the extra money? Are they as effective as what we have been using all these years before baby? My parents didn’t use natural products on me when I was a baby so what’s the harm?

After researching on blogs, EWG’s website (Environmental Working Group), baby forums and getting advice from friends, we decided it was worth it for the whole family (even our dogs) to switch to more natural products. The first and foremost reason was because of our baby. We wanted to avoid dyes, artificial fragrances and chemicals whenever we could. We have a lot of friends that don’t use natural products and their children have had allergies or rashes. I’m not saying it’s a direct correlation between the products and the skin issues they’ve developed but Baby C has never had a problem since we started with natural products from day 1.

The day after we brought Baby C home from the hospital we read through the discharge papers and it said to start tummy time as early as 2 weeks. I was hesitant because Baby C was so tiny but my husband said, “he’ll be fine” and put Baby C on his belly at 2 1/2 weeks. Baby C did great and he actually didn’t mind it but only for 5-10 minutes.

Fast forward to a couple months later and he would tolerate tummy time for about 10-15 minutes before he started to fuss and get frustrated. Read the rest of this entry »
