It’s been an emotional journey for television star, Tia Mowry, and she’s ready to let the public in on what it’s been like being a “hot mama” for nine-month-old son, Cree Taylor Hardrict. The Game star said she penned her book, Oh, Baby: Pregnancy Tales and Advice from One Hot Mama to Another so women could have a friendly, funny take on pregnancy and motherhood instead of just stone cold medical facts.

“I think with a lot of pregnancy books, it all came from a medical standpoint, and you were missing the fun, kind of girlfriend approach,” she told People. “You don’t want to be constantly reminded of all the bad things that can possibly go on through your pregnancy. You want to feel empowered.”

Although the book has a humorous side, Tia says it offers a “realistic perspective” on the experience, covering everything from cravings to morning sickness, unfortunately something she experienced round the clock. “I don’t mind sharing with the world the most amazing gift that God has ever given to me. I think it’s good to basically share with my fans what it’s like to be a mom, the joys and the challenges.”

One of the challenges Tia faced, that eventually led to her growing empowered, was going back to work only 2 1/2 months after delivering Cree last June. She said it was difficult at first but then it changed her perspective on why she was even continuing to act.

“I had to change my perspective on the whole thing and say, ‘I am doing this for my son. I am working to give him a better life,’” she said, “to provide him and my family with the best.”

Robert Downey, Jr. debuts son, Exton Elias

Robert Downey, Jr. made an appearance on last night’s The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, but plugging his new movie, The Avengers, took a quick back seat to showing off his three-month-old son, Exton Elias Downey.

The proud father just couldn’t help himself from flashing a picture. “I have to exercise just a little restraint. I mean, if you want me to, I will.”

And, of course, he did.

“He’s so darn cute, isn’t he?” Downey asked while looking at the 3-month-old in a hoodie and cap.

This isn’t the first time Downey has given away special, private information while on a late show. He spilled the beans to Leno on the sex of the baby back in December. He was worried about what his wife, Susan Levin, was going to say when he got home. “I gotta be careful,” he joked to Leno. “I am gonna have to see my wife some time after doing this segment with you, and I think I’m already in trouble.” I wonder if he was in trouble last night.

Exton is so adorable, isn’t he? He’ll be flying around with his Iron Man toys in no time!

Louis Bullock and all his hats! (Photos)

Louis Bullock wears a lot of hats and I’m not saying that figuratively. He literally wears A LOT of hats. He must just love wearing them. It’s always so hard for my sister to keep head pieces on her kids so I don’t know how Sandra Bullock manages it but Louis is rarely seen without one. And he’s lucky because he was made for hats. He rocks every single style his mom comes up with. Sandra’s default is the ever adorable pageboy cap and Louis wore a plaid one yesterday as Sandra picked him up from school.

I know everyone keeps harping on Harper Beckham and her new modeling offer but I think some offers should be made to little Louis. His hat collection rivals Leonardo Dicaprio’s and he’s not even even three yet!

Blythe Danner loves her rock star son-in-law

She may play a grandmother in the new film, The Lucky One, but Blythe Danner has had plenty of practice. She’s the grandmother of two of the most famous tots in Hollywood AND London – Apple and Moses Martin.

Gwyneth Paltrow’s mother is rarely too shy to gush over her grandchildren but in doing press for her new movie she shines the spotlight on her son-in-law of 9 years, Coldplay frontman, Chris Martin.

“Oh, Chris is wonderful and he’s so good with their children,” she says, “and he’s taught them those good English manners.”

But does Blythe love him enough to be a fan of his music?

“Oh, yes, I am. I’m mostly a jazz fan and I’ve never really been into rock ’n’ roll music — although I guess Coldplay isn’t really rock ’n’ roll — but he’s made me a convert. I do go to their concerts whenever we’re in the same town and I don’t even have to wear earplugs any more, which I did in the beginning. He wrote the song Fix You for Gwyneth when her father died and I weep every time I hear it.”

Blythe’s husband, Bruce Paltrow, died in 2002 after suffering from cancer. Gwyneth met Chris one week later.

It’s important for your mom to love your husband, right? I don’t think I could bear it if my mom didn’t. I think it’s cute the way Blythe talks about Chris. It sounds like they have great relationship. What do you think? Is it important for your husband to try to have a relationship with your parents?

Pregnant Alyson Hannigan spends family time at the park (Photos)

Funny girl, Alyson Hannigan, spent yesterday at a park in Santa Monica with her husband, Alexis Denisof, and three-year-old daughter, Satyana. The star is pregnant with her second child which is due in June.

Hannigan had her thoughts on another pregnant woman when she tweeted congratulations to Jessica Simpson on Monday. With her signature humor in tow, she tweeted, “Congrats to Jessica Simpson! Does this mean I now have the biggest baby bump in Hollywood?”

Hannigan hasn’t revealed the sex of the baby but might have let it slip while on The Rachel Ray Show in April. She told Ray, “The other night, she — this, you know,” Hannigan recovered, when beginning an anecdote. She went on to describe how her baby frequently moves around, telling Ray, “I feel like a popcorn popper!”

I wonder what Satyana would make of having a baby sister. Hannigan told MSN in February, “Oh, she’s super, super excited! She is already a great big sister, and she’s very excited about the baby. She rubs lotion on my belly and talks to the baby, and it’s very sweet.”

Postpartum: Milk Engorgement

Posted, May 3rd, 2012, By Jenivieve Elly

Postpartum milk engorgement can be quite painful and frustrating. I just had a baby and I am speaking from first hand experience. I did not experience engorgement to this extent with my first child, so it was a new challenge for me.

My little guy is a great latcher and feeds around the clock. My milk came in much sooner this time around, on day three. However I was at the point of tears from being so engorged and uncomfortable, and on top of that, I became so full that my baby struggled to latch.

Thankfully my husband is a great support and helped me get through. He looked up ways to relieve the pain and help baby latch. I alternated cold compresses every 20 minutes, and when it was time to feed I did reverse pressure softening and massaged the milk down. I also took advil to help with the pain. Warm showers can help too, but be careful not to stand in too long, as it can actually release more milk. I would use warmth right before a feeding. I also used Lansinoh HPA Lanolin for my sore and cracked nipples.

The engorgement went into my lymph nodes which I was worried about, but I would massage it in the shower to help release the pressure. Thankfully I started to feel relief the next day and my day five I was back to normal, aside from my nipples being sore.

They also say cold cabbage can help, but I didn’t try it.

Have you experienced milk engorgement? What did you do to relieve it?
