 I have been very much enjoying having a newborn around again. I forgot just how precious a tiny, squishy baby really is. We’re nearing the end of Kris being off of work and I am sad to think we won’t have him around all the time soon. It’s nice just because we like having [...] I just realized it’s been over a month since I last posted. There are so many ideas and posts floating around in my head and half finished as drafts, it surprises me a bit I haven’t published any of them. We have been busy though. My mom came out for a last minute visit [...] A while ago, I posted an article about the Natural Age of Weaning by Dr. Katherine Dettwyler. I recently found another article by the same person about childhood sleep patterns that I feel is very well written and worth a read. Meredith still doesn’t “sleep through the night” by most people’s [...] By Fiona Morrow VANCOUVER — It’s time to pack up the pea purée and toss the baby rice. No more blending beans, mashing bananas or whipping sweet potatoes. Fed up with rigid timetables for the introduction of first foods, a growing number of parents are giving up on spoon feeding and letting the kids [...] Last week, out of the blue, a writer for the Globe & Mail contacted me and asked if she could interview me about an article she’s writing on baby-led weaning (not to be mixed up with child-led weaning).

Dr. Ikechukwu U. Ogbuano of the University of South Carolina in Columbia and colleagues found that by 10 years old children [...]  Meredith split her lip last night. Poor baby. She was playing with Kris on a hill and fell and bit right through her lip. Both sides were bleeding and today it’s very puffy. We were a bit on the fence on whether to take her to the ER for stitches, but it stopped bleeding [...]  I found this interesting article about weaning: Natural Age of Weaning. The author has looked into variables that affect weaning in other animals (especially primates), and then made predictions on when a human’s natural age of weaning would be based on those. She also discusses the benefits of extended nursing. Now [...]
I just stumbled on this beautiful video today, a PSA from Puerto Rica. I wish things like this would be shown in North America, to show breastfeeding as something normal and natural and to show breasts as something other than [...] Well, I haven’t posted in a couple of months. Mostly because I decided I’m not a very good writer anyway and it’s doubtful anyone even reads this. But in reality I’m writing this more for myself to look back on than for anyone else so I’ve decided to keep it up again, at least [...] |
