I'm looking for ideas of how to respond to the behaviors that really make my blood boil. If you have any tips for these please let me know! These are all things my 2.5 yo does and I haven't come up with an effective yet gentle...

I've CD my 2.5yo since birth.  We had 12 bum genius elementals, 12 one size fitteds, and 12 prefolds at a time in the proper size.  We split that time almost 50/50 between a top loader and a front loader, and line dried both...

Can anyone give a recommendation for a good nursing bra that will last through extended breast feeding?  The bras I had with my DS did not make it through the first year, and after that I cut the clasps off and used them to turn...

We never were "hard-core" ec'ers, but my son was fairly regularly using the potty for his first 6 months.  It was obvious he understood what the potty was for and how to go. Then he started resisting us, so we dropped it almost...
