Is Getting Your Daughter's Ears Pierced a Big Deal?

Trendtotting: The Perfect Easter Outfit For Girls

Have You Tuned In to Toddlers & Tiaras?

Could Postpartum Depression Be a Gender Thing?
Baby blues can strike any new mum but a recent study, released by the Journal of Clinical Nursing suggested that the baby's sex played a role in postpartum depression. It said: When we launched our research, our main aim was to study the effect that gender has on PND. But the overwhelming finding of the study was the fact that gender appears to play a significant role in reduced quality of life as well as an increased chance of severe PND.
