Now that my daughter is a year old (and I don't intend to become pregnant) I continue to breastfeed her. Interestingly enough I have found that both of my kids bit me once really hard while nursing, enough to draw blood but after that just tend to nibble.

I use this on my daughters cloth diapers once a month. After the diaper is soiled I spray each side of the liners and the shells inside layer and then wash as usual. It's handy to use when the diapers get a strong ammonia odor which is bound to happen eventually.

goodnightmoon

Reading is so important for growing minds. Every few weeks my son starts liking a new book and currently it is Goodnight Moon.

On my son's last day of preschool he came home with a running nose that quickly turned into green snot. My infant daughter soon after came down with green snot as well.
