Bottle Feeding: How much? How warm?
Bottle-feeding can be something you choose do from Day 1 or something you only begin when you go back to work. Most of us with kids have used bottles at some point or other. I breastfed my babies for different amounts of times and then moved on to bottles. The transition was hard for them, that is, for the girls. My son was always hungry and didn’t care where it came from! The girls weren’t interested, which made it hard for both of us....

Think baby showers are just for moms? Not anymore! The “Daddy Shower” is the latest trend hitting the scene, allowing the daddy-to-be to be “showered” with gifts and fun as well.

Too much advice, or advice you can’t accept, can be very frustrating, annoying and even undermining. If this is happening, it’s up to...

Playtime with Toddlers
There is absolutely nothing more fun and enjoyable than playing with your toddler. As a proud daddy to six kids between the ages of eight months and 25 years old, I have so many fond memories of playing with my children as toddlers. Often, during the first year, Dad can feel a bit left out; as the majority of the bonding tends to happen between Mommy and Baby, especially if she is nursing. During this stage there’s a lot of build-up and...
Fish Cakes
We eat these weekly. I love that they make a big enough batch for dinner, lunch and some leftover to freeze. While other fish cakes that I’ve made in the past crumble and fall apart, these keep it together. I’ve made toddler fish cakes in the Mommy Chef classes for years with potato and they love them. It’s time for a new fish cake. If you didn’t read it below, you wouldn’t guess they contain oats. Give this fast and easy recipe...
