My LO is just about 6 months, and I was using a mild soap for a while, but have lately switched to washing her with honey. It seems to work well, even if she is actually dirty. I remember reading about using it instead of soap, but...

I don't know about those, but I love buckwheat hull pillows. They aren't a fiber as such, but are super comfy. We can't use ours right now because we're co-sleeping with a tiny babe and they are heavy, but I can't wait to get them back...

We had the same problem. I tried a few different diapers and doublers, but no matter what they'd leak. I ended up dressing her all in wool, with a wool sleep sack, so even when it leaks she stays warm and dry. We also use a bigger...

My babe has a similar schedule. She goes to sleep at about 7, wakes up for a bit at 9 or 10 (pm), then sleeps until 4ish when she needs to nurse. Then she nurses at about 6:30, and doesn't sleep really soundly from then on. She doesn't...

I haven't been super active, but would be really interested in this. Sign me up! :)

I'm in much the same boat. Mine is very minor, but allergy induced, and I'm not taking anything for my allergies, and it is a hum-dinger of an allergy season. I've been feeling a bit asthma-ee a few times in the last week. I'm not too...

My two cents, for what it's worth: I don't have any little ones of my own (due in Sept) but have nannied and cared for many infants in many different setting over the years. I have noticed this type of sleep pattern in 3 and 4...
