Baby Food

I’m old fashioned, but I think the only way to feed a baby is to nurse.  Cows milk is for cows and human milk is for humans.  I do realize there are cases when you can nurse, needing to take certain meds, inability to produce milk and a lot more.  But, even dumber, is beginning [...]

The Dreaded 2 am Feeding

Did you nurse?  If you did you had at least 1 or 30 2 am feedings.  I felt sorry for the men – I didn’t want to get up.  But getting up and holding my baby, just me and him in a blanket all warm and everything quiet was some of the best times of [...]

MADD

I went to a MADD (Mothers against Drunk Drivers) and was fairly supprised by their attitude.  I thought they would be throw backs from prohibition, but they are very open minded.  They don’t care about the drinking – they just want us to stay off the street and out of the car if we do [...]

Sleeping

The scientist say that a full night sleep to a baby is 5 hours.  I have a hard time with 9 sometimes.  But they consider this sleeping through the night for newborns up to about 6 months.  In fact some babies don’t actually sleep through the night, in the normal sense, until they are 1 [...]

Aunts

When I had my first son my sister in law drove me nuts.  She was 25 and her biological clock was almost gone?  I had to tear my son away just to nurse him.  I like babies, but jeeze.
The good news is she finally got married and now has 3 boys of her own – [...]

Sewing

Did you mom ever sew?  Mine sewed all our baby clothing and then through most of our teens.  I used to hate it.  Then I got to buy something off the rack!! yeah!!  It was horrible.  I had no idea I had a personal custom tailor at home.  Of course by then she went to [...]

Momma Guru

Did you ever notice once you had a baby or two they all sound the same.  You can tell if they’re mad, hungry, tired or whatever.  They may have different voices, but they all make the same noise.
I also noticed after my boys were toddlers and older I would hear a baby crying, say in [...]

Bad Taste in Clothes

My second son began dressing himself at 18 months old.  He refused to wear anything any one else picked out.  I’d go out and buy all these cool baby clothes and he’d put on the worst stuff he could find.
The topper was a pair of real cowboy boots that were black with bright red tips.  [...]

Teens

My youngest didn’t talk until he was 3.  His first word was mamma.  Then it changed to mom  when I got him some cool baby clothes that said mom.  Now all of a sudden, at 15,  he’s saying mamma again and I love you all the time (yes I am lucky).  Of course, my thought [...]

up up and away

This is a little redundant, but wouldn’t you like to get away for a while?  I mean really.  Washing diapers (some of us), baby tees, sockies, hats, onesies – doesn’t it seem like your baby wears about 8 outfits/day.  What do women do when they have to go to a laundromat, other than get prescriptions [...]
