I am currently breastfeeding my almost 4 week old son and I am very interested in getting him to take a bottle. A side note–I have a 2 year old daughter who NEVER took a bottle. I breastfed her for 13 months, exclusively. At the time it wasn’t a big deal and I wasn’t that bothered by it. But now…I NEED this little boy to take a bottle.

She wants to cut her hair short…but wants it long again for a wedding next year. Are extensions the answer or just Bad Idea Jeans?
Our swaddling blankets became a few of our most prized possessions. And since I still get questions about whether such-and-such blanket is worth the money or how many blankets should I register for or HALP MY BABY PUNCHES HERSELF IN THE FACE AT NIGHT, I figured it’s time to just put all my Very Important Opinions all in one place.

My son, at 13 months, is turning out to be SUCH a picky eater. I’m completely baffled. He only wants to eat pureed veggies and fruits (with the exception of bananas–he loves them. I swear the kid is part monkey.) Help!
