I hate to say this, but Tushies Gel-free Diapers are the worst diaper we have ever used.
They seem awesome on paper. They are gel-free (which they point out is only a bell/whistle), dye- and perfume-free, made from non-chlorine bleached materials, and have a nice soft exterior. Instead of gel, the diapers employ a cotton/wood pulp [...]

At the baby’s 2 month check-up, our lovely doctor told us it was time to start sleep training. Sleep training?! The mere mention of the babe sleeping 10 hours at night made Gabriel tear up due to overwhelming joy. We were also both exceptionally nervous. The plan is to put him to bed at 8PM [...]

Baby Cheapskate, one our favorite sites, has reviewed NatureCare Baby Diapers! Sadly, the review is a positive one… not to say we would write a negative one (stay tuned for a negative review of another brand coming up tomorrow), but maybe a neutral one. They were fine, a bit ill-fitting and stiff, but fine. We [...]

The bloggers over at Safe Mama have published a handy-dandy Paraben and Phthalate Free Bath Care Cheat Sheet. They write:
One of the things that we’ve been frustrated with, here at Safe Mama, was what seemed like a lack of safe baby skin care products. Hence, the first version of the safemama-safe-skincare-cheatsheet. As we were searching [...]

We’ve been talking about Bisphenol-A (BPA) a lot these days, but there are other toxins we’re exposing ourselves to more often, that goes for us adults, too, not just our kids. Two big sources are the food we eat and the products we use on our skin.
I remember being a kid and hearing about [...]

I was ordering replacement cartridges the other night for our mega-water filter at 4 AM, post feeding, and found my way onto the site’s page of water filters for the shower. I said to myself: “The shower?!” Yes, the shower. During the course of the average shower, our skin absorbs approximately 8 cups of chlorinated [...]

Long have I been a fan of the Neti pot. If gargling with salt water works for a sore throat, why wouldn’t pouring salt water through your nose help with a sore nose (AKA a cold)?
In late January, a European study was released showing that:
A nasal spray made from Atlantic Ocean seawater eased wintertime cold [...]

Tencel is nothing new… wood cellulose turned into a fiber for clothing… but seaweed?! The image conjures some alchemical process in my mind. I can’t even imagine how one goes about turning seaweed into yarn.
And yet, here I am, blogging about SeaCell, a blended fiber of cellulose and seaweed. SeaCell is marketed as an innovation [...]

I love our son. I love him 24 hours a day. I love taking care of him. I do not love the 3am feedings anymore. But what’s a dad to do? I want to look into his eyes, connect. But then I realize after 5 minutes he’s off looking [...]
