Crying is your baby’s most important way of communicating with you, especially in the early days. She’s trying hard to help you understand what she wants and needs. Crying tends to be at its most frequent (about two hours per day) when your infant is three to six weeks old. Common reasons your baby cries... • Being hungry or thirsty • Having a wet or dirty diaper • Being too cold or too warm • Needing reassurance that...

Your Baby Should Be Eating as Much Solid Baby Food as Your Baby Will Eat. You're wondering about the above statement aren't you? Ask the vast majority of pediatricians and they will all say, "Feed your baby as much as your baby will eat". One of the caveats when feeding your baby solid foods is that that you ensure that your baby is still receiving proper amounts of breast milk and/or formula. Solid foods in the early stage are meant for...

As my husband and I prepare for baby number two, we are once again faced with the decision of whether to breastfeed or formula feed. While weighing the pros and cons of both and ultimately deciding “Breast is Best,” I find myself reflecting on my nursing experience with baby number one.

The strain of a growing belly and relaxed ligaments and joints are all needed to prepare for birth but can lead to injury in the postnatal stage. Good care must be taken for...

When baby is tiny, they are immobile, on a liquid diet only, not yet on a schedule or in a routine from which deviating could cause meltdowns, and relatively easy to distract – the perfect travel companion! Exclusive breastfeeding is by far the...

3:30 am (Ahh... the 24 hour clock of parenthood) Get up to nurse 7 week old baby. He falls asleep mid-feed. Change his diaper to wake him up. Good Gandhi he didn't like THAT. Resume nursing. Put baby to bed. Go back to bed myself. 4:15 am Not sleeping yet. Wondering what to make for dinner. 6:30 am Baby up to nurse again. So tired. 7:00 am Older sisters are sneaking into my bed. Cue to...

As parents we often think of our children’s major milestones–first word, first step, and the list goes on… One thing that parents sometimes fail to think about and plan for is the first day of university or college. With tuition fees rising each year, it’s better to start planning sooner rather than later. According to Statistics Canada, children born today will be looking at post-secondary costs in excess of $139,000.* As...
