Bum Genius Odor Remover

bumgeniusodorremover

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.

My Toddler Had Cosmetic Surgery

I was mortified when he asked me to lean over and lock my son's knees while holding both his hands down. In this position I was right in his face trying to comfort his screams as the doctor cleansed the wound to prep it for the anesthetic. It wasn't until I saw him pull the piece of lacerated ear up that I knew the extent of this injury, it was worse than I thought. A nurse was also there to try to hold his head steady. I broke down and cried with my son, he was in so much pain and I couldn't do anything about it.

Graco Ultra Clear Vibe Monitor

GracoMonitor

One of the best features is that if the receiver is unplugged for any reason the monitors will make a very loud noise so you have the piece of mind that that will always be working.

Infant Poked In The Eye

InfantEye

Accidents happen yes, but it's even more unfortunate when the accident happens while trying to prevent one. There I was starting a load of laundry and holding my daughter in my right arm. I turned around to leave the laundry room but the door had closed partially... if I didn't act fast I would walk her right into the corner of the door and she'd hit her head...

Guidelines for Walks with Toddlers

Walk

I took my toddler and 4-month-old for a walk in the first beautifully warm sunny day of Spring this past Sunday. It's the first time I've let my toddler walk and not be in a stroller and as we did it I thought of several things that need to be considered before doing this.
