Could You Handle the Gender Secret Like Tom Brady?
When asked who they trust the most with their secret, many mothers would say their partner. The intimacy they share and the time spent together makes most any secret impossible to keep. That's why many couples make a united decision to find out the sex of their unborn child together — either at an ultrasound, on a piece of paper or in the delivery room.
Evenflo's Symphony All-in-One Car Seat
When it comes to car seats, moms can be pretty clueless. The inability to sit in them and test drive them makes buying them a rather haphazard event.

After interviewing some nannies and visiting daycare centers both home- and program-based, I thought I had settled on a daycare center with low student to teacher ratio, clean rooms and a great daily schedule. After sharing my plans with family and friends, they started presenting me with horror stories about day care — children who are more aggressive, constant ear infections, lack of attention, etc.
Getting to Know Your Body Post Pregnancy
"Oh, my uterus!" may sound like a laughable exclamation, but coming from someone who has uttered it, I can say I meant it. Before my first pregnancy, I was fairly clueless about my internal organs.
babysugar Diaries: My Lil Sucker
Every night, I give my five-month-old a bottle to make sure he is getting a heavy dose of milk to help him sleep through (a relative term) the night. After gulping down his meal last night, it was clear my son wanted more. Knowing his limits, I held him and patted his back while his head rested on my shoulder.
Couples Cocktail Party: Invitations
Move over carriages and baby bottles, we're throwing a baby shower for guys and gals to attend this week. Many friends of first-time parents are often still single and sometimes weirded out by the fact that their buddy is about to have a babe. Starting with the invitation, set the tone for this celebration with a twist.
Lil Tip: Putting Pants on One Leg at a Time
When my sister potty trained my niece, she gave her lil one part of the responsibility. Proud of her task, my niece eagerly waited for the moment after she was done to put her pants back on.
