Women who have caesareans 'risk having fatter babies'In a world where it is suggested that opting for a c-section is the "safer" route to take, new evidence surfaces that it may not be the wisest plan if vaginal birth is an option. Black Friday is a Good Day for New Moms!One of my favorite "everything" stores, Wayfair, has let me in on their Black Friday/After Thanksgiving promo codes for new moms. (That just proves the point, "It's not what you know, but who you know!"
Here is the low-down for the rest of the sales for Wayfair:
 UPPAbaby Vista Stroller Gearing up for Baby Deals during the After-Thanksgiving Day Sales?I've never been one of those crazy people who get up in the wee hours of the morning on the day after Thanksgiving in order to be the first in line for the great sales available. I'm sure there is a thrill getting trampled by crowds after having your toes half-frozen from waiting for hours outside in the dark for the store doors to open. My kind of shopping is from by comfy chair in front of the computer with a cappacino in one hand. My kind of thrill comes from finding that terrific deal without even wrestling with one sale-crazy, sleep-deprived grandmother grabbing the very last item off the shelf. If you are with me, you'll be as excited as I am to take advantage of online retailers who are providing awesome Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals. The first deal I found is from Layla Grace's Boutique. Get 15% off the entire site (a few exclusions) ONLY 11/25/11 through 11/28/11. If you really want to get into the spirit of things, you could start sitting at your computer at 11:59 Thanksgiving evening so that you are the first to take advantage. (And you'd could still get to bed by 12:15!)
 Stay tuned for more holiday cyber-deals in the coming days... Baby Deals You Can't Miss!
  And why wouldn't they? When a new parent arrives at Amazon.com, they hear a "ka-ching" in the corporate office. (OK, not really. But everyone knows that those tiny newborns can squeeze a fair amount of money out of new parents.)
Anyway, Amazon is trying to make it easier on new parents and secure a repeat customer by offering a program called Amazon Mom It is really a terrific deal that offers 20% off of diapers with membership, as well as free 2-day shipping on items, free 365 day returns, and other specials. The program is free for moms, dads, caregivers, or anyone who is responsible for caring for a baby. Do you feel their love? New! CommentsHave your say about what you just read!
