My Husband and I are having our fourth child in 3 weeks and I couldn’t be more nervous, I’ve done this three times prior to and I don’t understand why I’m so nervous this time around, so performing online research for baby and pregnancy related topics assist to ease my nerves. I can’t tell you just how much it has helped me to calm down by reading the articles on your site, so thank you very much.

I can’t thank you sufficient for publishing this write-up. I am a single mother and I have an additional small 1 on the way. Being Pregnant once more is such a blessing. These days we need to be very thankful for our blessing. I do discover myself searching various web sites for valuable information to educate myself on any baby or pregnancy related topics so I usually find your site very helpful.

Comment on 10 Simple Stress Management Tips for Pregnant Women by Lyndsay R.

I made a “Happy” playlist for my ipod. I chose songs that are soothing to me. Some oldies like Louis Armstrong singing “What a Wonderful World” (How can that song NOT make you smile?)and some newer songs that just make me happy for whatever reason. I would get in my car after a long, stressful day of work and my 30 minute drive home was soothing and relaxing.

My advice? Walk. Walk, walk, walk! My first pregnancy, I walked everywhere! To the store, to work, to anything I could walk to. It kept me in somewhat reasonable shape and I didn’t have to deal with bad drivers and traffic. If it’s not practical for you to walk in your everyday activities, try a walking trail. The one in Calcium is nice!

Comment on More Than 1 Million Baby Slings Recalled by Lyndsay R.

This clip was very disturbing for me, since I had one of those slings for my newborn son (never used it, thank goodness!). It easily could have been my baby! I guess this just goes to show that you can’t just trust that all of the baby products out there are safe to use. For me, I went with my instinct and it turned out I was right! Maybe we should listen to those instincts; they are there for a reason!

Comment on New Moms, Don’t Choose Style Over Safety by MommyofTwo

I owned one of these slings! I never used it because I didn’t like that the sides sagged in and covered my son’s face. I did the recall – you just have to cut off a piece of the strap with the logo on it, rendering the sling unusable, and mail it in. Infantino provides a mailing label complete with postage for that purpose. You just go here: http://service.infantino.com/SlingRider.html
And it will help you figure out if your sling is among those that were recalled. Then you can choose a replacement product and they will send it out to you pretty quickly. I got a front baby carrier, since I’m pregnant again!

I think this is a great way to get information to new mothers. I wish this was available when I was having my children.

Comment on 3 Reasons to Protect Your Baby’s Teeth by Lyndsay R.

I think that people don’t worry too much about it because they figure the teeth are going to be coming out later anyways. While that may be true, The health of the teeth and gums can affect the overall health of your child!
