Natural and Homeopathic Teething Pain Relief for Babies | Natural Teething Remedies

There are many natural and homeopathic pain relief options for teething without grabbing for the baby orajel or Tylenol!

Difference Between Diaper BlowUP and BlowOUT – Why we prefer Cloth | #clothdiapers

What is it about disposable diapers that just won't hold breastfed poop in?  I just don't get it.   They have faux elastic is around the leg.  The back is fitted with some sort of faux elastic.  Why can't they hold in poop?

Blowout  diaper terminology -  A sudden violent escape of poop.  Up the back, up the stomach, down the legs, on the clothes, so on, and so forth. Jett blows up cloth diapers several (and I mean several) times a day, but in his four months…

Please watch this all the way through.  You will walk away moved and so inspired. Original Post from Karma Tube

The Great Deflation: Week 3 – Excuses and Illness – #fitness #weightloss

It was still a rough week.  Kylie was home sick for the entire week last week.  After she got over hers, Jett decided to get sick, too.  On top of all that, I still have this boob problem.  One of my best doula (almost midwife) friends said that it's a case study.  It's like thrush, but we're not sure it's thrush.  I have recurring plugged ducts, and I have this burning sensation on the left side - like I touched it with an iron.  It feels like a real burn.  You know how you burn your finger, and you run…
