Royal Fluff- My First Cloth Diaper!

Ok I admit I was not sure if I should do a review on a cloth diaper.  My daughter is 2 and we never tried one.  But now we are potty training.  And my husband understand there is going to be some smelly clothes in his washer and he is more ok with that. 

So far this thing is a beauty!  3 sets of snaps, sturdy, and cute fabric.  I am not sure how long it will hold up but great for the potty training phase as we will call it underwear (shh don't tell her) and when she has an accident she will feel it and we can keep moving forward.  I guess what I am trying to say is the fabric is amazing on this thing but I really have no idea if it would last though 4 kids because I had not tried it.  But this one might just do it!

Bebe Bella Designs Crinkle Toy Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

When this little crinkle toy came in the mail I was so excited!  I am giving it as a gift to friends with a little one. I know my little one loved this sound as many babies do.  But this toy can be left with the child without worry.  Well constructed.  Beautifully well chosen fabrics and colors.  I can't wait to see the living one playing and loving this toy. 

Did you kids love toys that made crinkly noises? 

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Breastfeeding Advice for New Moms

Breastfeeding for the first time can be intimidating, especially if you are a new, first time mom. Don’t pressure yourself too much, it does take some time to get the hang of it. The important thing is not to give up and just keep trying. Also, try some of these tips to make breastfeeding go more smoothly. Watch your baby for hunger cues. Before they start crying, babies tend to search for food with their mouth (this is called rooting). Once you see the baby doing this, get started on breastfeeding right away. This will help your bond with the baby as well as establish a secure attachment. Ask a lactation consultant. Whether you’re in the hospital or at home, a lactation consultant is usually readily available by phone. They are specially trained in breastfeeding and can give you specialized tips to help maximize your experience. Create a relaxing environment where you will breastfeed. This will help calm you and the baby making breastfeeding easier. Have everything you need within arm’s reach. If you want, have someone in there with you for support or for any needs that may arise. Eat a healthy diet. What you eat, your baby will eat. It is important to eat many well balanced meals. Follow your hunger as a guide to how much you need to eat. Generally, breastfeeding women need 500 more calories a day. Also, wash fruit and vegetables carefully as they may have pesticides on them. Be extra careful to avoid anything that may harm the baby. Breastfeeding is a great time for both baby and mother. Some do not get the hang of it right away while others latch on quickly. It is best to keep trying and ask for help when you need it.
