Lauren (not her real name) was blissfully pregnant with her first child, enjoying her growing bump and attention from well wishers. But right after her daughter Emma was born, Lauren began to feel an overwhelming sense of jealousy towards her daughter. Friends and family who used to dote on her were now cooing over baby Emma. People stopped asking Lauren how she was and focused on the latest baby news. When her husband came home from work,...

While in NICU the twins received the standard hearing screen tests as do all newborns.  They passed, they continued to thrive, they came home, I moved on best I could as a mom to 8 children.  As the twins were premature I didn’t expect milestones to come at the typical time and so I was patient.  But by the time my little guys were 8 months (6.5 corrected) I was concerned about Tanner. Tanner was always happy and smiling but something...

Moms of all shapes, sizes and nationalities can relate to the loving term, “mummy tummy”. You know what I mean - the pooch, pouch, bump, whatever you want to call it, that never seems to go away no matter how many crunches you do? Yep, that. This tummy, for the most part, is usually (about 80 per cent) more about a condition that medical professionals are very aware of, than just extra fat. This condition is called Diastasis Recti, or in...

Oh, the explosive outbursts that shatter the peace of our homes! For many parents, it’s the dreaded tantrum that keeps them walking on eggshells all day long. Or keeps them from having company or arranging playdates for their child. Sometimes your kid just goes off for no apparent reason. You made macaroni and he wanted a hot dog. You gave her the blue cup and she wanted the red one. You’d think you just cut her leg off! The child falls to...

As your baby get’s older and starts to become mobile, she will start putting things in her mouth or touching new things that may not pass your ‘clean’ test. Those curious little fingers will almost always end up in her mouth before you get a chance to wash them. Don’t panic. This exposure to germs will likely make her immune system stronger – but the bad news is, there will be quite a few sniffles and upset tummies along the...

Swelling during pregnancy is certainly a normal and expected event, and takes place as part of the birth preparation. You’ll notice that parts of your body, such as ankles, feet, legs, hands and face, can swell and blow up during pregnancy. In fact, 75 per cent of expecting women have edema at one point or another. It often occurs when you stay in the same position for too long and is more common during the third...

These healthy and nutritious foods make really great first foods for baby because they are easy to digest and full of vitamins, minerals, fats and other nutrients a growing baby needs.

That’s what my daughter says every night at bedtime. I love that both of my kids love books. Really, I love it. Since they were born I’ve been giving them books to hold, to drool on, to play with, to read. My son’s first word was ‘book’. My daughter’s first word was ‘shoes’. Anyway – they both love books. Every night we (my husband and I take turns) snuggle up with both kids in my daughter’s bed (it’s the bigger one for...
