Infant Growth Chart - Tracking the Journey
It seems a newborn baby grows and changes so fast that you should be able to actually see it happening. But it is only after weeks and months pass that we seem to be able to recognize it. One way to keep track of growth is through an infant growth chart, whether it be marks on the door frame, a fancy wall chart, or a free copy of the CDC's infant growth chart for boys and girls provided here.

New Pain Relief Measures for Baby Vaccinations
Who doesn't dread the thought of the pain received when their newborn is vaccinated? In a recent report published by CNN, newborn babies have shown that incorporating the "5 S's" significantly cuts down on fussing after vaccinations are given. We already knew that these same "5 S's" are terrific at calming a crying newborn, but now it seems that they also may be a better alternative than sugar water or even acetaminophen for pain relief during vaccinations. You owe it to yourself and your newborn baby to understand this method.

Arsenic in Infant Formula?
Don't get me wrong, I've used infant formula when I haven't had any other choice, but when I read articles like this one, it makes me thankful that most of my kids were 100% breastfed.
How disturbing for all of us who have used/are using infant formula.
Make Your Own Homemade Baby Wipes
I've almost always used commercial baby wipes for my children, until I started this website and began researching what was in them. Now I'm sold on homemade baby wipes, not only for their health value, but also for their savings!
Best Breast Pumps
Does every breastfeeding mother need a breastpump? No. I managed to get through my first seven kids without one. But I only had three options when I needed to go somewhere:
- Take the baby with me
- Get back to the baby before she needed to be fed
- Have someone give her a bottle of formula
A breastpump is extremely useful when you need to be away from your baby, or to assist in increasing milk production.
I became very familiar with using a breastpump when my 9th baby wasn't able to nurse. After 13 months of exclusively pumping, I recently put the pump away into storage. I'm very thankful that with it's assistance, I was able to provide my baby with the very best nutrition available.
This article, written by a guest author who has extensive experience with a variety of breastpumps, details the differences between the various types of pumps.

Baby Temperature? How You Can Tell
A baby fever, especially in a child younger than 3 months, can be a cause for concern. A newborn's immune system is very immature and not as able to fight off infection as it will be in a few months. It's very important to get an accurate baby temperature, so that an informed decision can be made.

Calming a Crying Newborn
A Review of the Method - The Happiest Baby on the Block by Dr. Harvey Karp, M.D.
There are times when, no matter what you do, your newborn will cry. For some babies, it's their way of life. I know moms who tell me about marathon crying sessions, and that is exhausting and heart-breaking for all parties involved.
The Happiest Baby on the Block by Dr. Harvey Karp, M.D., was a book that I have heard great things about for a few years now, and recently I decided to check it out.
