At almost eight and a half months old, Leone is all squirming all the time. Holding her when she’s trying to get somewhere (which is almost always) is like wrestling an octopus underwater with olive oil on your hands. A lot of babies her age have been crawling for months. Not Leone. But in the last few days she’s almost managed to heave her heavy self forward in a crawl-like manner. When you plop her down with some toys she doesn’t stay still. She rotates. Or scoots. Or twists. Or does something. This invariably moves her towards the only... read more

Moms have forever been getting the spiel to host and give Mary Kay parties, Tupperware parties, and (lately) even sex toy parties. I recently found out about a new way to make money having a party…and I have a feeling it’s going to be a hit, given the level of passion women I know in life and through this blog have about the coolness of cloth diapers. Cloth diaper parties. Explain, Lucy… I am going to pull in the press release here, because it’s written quite well and y’all don’t need me to sit here and reword it when I could spend that time setting up... read more

“When did she start talking?” A surrprised friend asked a few days ago. Baby Leone loves to have long involved conversations. She makes unintelligible noises (”Ah bah, bah dee dah!” is what she’s saying right now) and claps her hands, or bangs the ground with a pen, or flails her legs for emphasis. But our friend was noticing that she’s also consistently saying some words. She started “talking” about two weeks ago. Here’s the dictionary: “Beh” = bye “Bah” = ball “Hhh” = hi “Mama mama” = random consonant and vowel sounds... read more

by Sarah Juliusson of www.MamaRenew.ca – Find Mama Renew on Facebook & Twitter In honour of World Breastfeeding Week I want to explore a bit the emotional landscape of breastfeeding challenges. In a story I have seen repeated all too often, my early months of breastfeeding featured an achingly low milk supply, conflicting professional advice, and well-meaning but deeply hurtful commentary.  This blessed time in my life also included a not-so-nice dose of postpartum depression, a rented scale to measure intake, a supplementary nursing system, formula,... read more

  Today's my birthday. I'm one! I wrote this Declaration of Independence all by myself. If you don't believe me, ask my mom. When in the Course of a baby’s life it becomes necessary for one 12-month-old to dissolve the Velcro bands which have connected the front of her diaper, and to assume among the powers of the house, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of natural parenting entitle her, a decent respect to the opinions of Mom-kind requires that she should declare the causes which impel her to the separation. We hold... read more
