My older three kids gave me a heck of a time when it came to taking a bottle, so with number four, I'm determined to find one that she not only takes, but doesn't add to the challenge with extra gas. And I may have just found the answer …
The latest rage at our house isn't candy. Or even the colorful vegetables that might end up spit-splattered across your blouse if baby isn't into beets. No, this exciting new pick is healthy, delicious, beautiful, and handy. And, honestl…
Kids like snacks. Like, really, really like them. Understatement of the year, right? I truly believe that if I just had a constant supply of snack-type foods on hand , my children would eat all day. And I have a sneaking --or is it snack…
I have approximately 563 teensy glass baby food jars left over from when my 3-year-old was a baby. Okay, I may be exaggerating. But the pantry sure feels like Baby Food Container Central. My plan was to use these jars in all kinds of use…
I have a huge sweet tooth. But, I don't want to eat yogurt that's impersonating a strawberry shortcake or alcoholic beverage. If I want shortcake, I'll have shortcake! That's one of the reasons I'm a big fan of Stonyfield Farm's yogurt: …
We've been toting our drinks around in stainless steel bottles and containers for years now. But what about the babies? Well, obviously when they're drinking their milk straight from the source, they've got the best drink container out t…
Sure, my husband is happy with his solid blue, no-name water bottle. But he also eats the exact same ham sandwich every day and owns an endless army of white socks. Me, I want my environmentally conscious, BPA-free water bottle to be as …
I will admit it: I was not one to puree my own baby food. Ever. It always seemed like a fabulous idea and I envied those moms who did, but as a working mom it was just more effort than I had the energy for. Fortunately, there are great o…
If you live in Los Angeles, you've got some mad cash, and you want someone else to deliver organic, healthy, super-fresh baby food to your doorstep... well, I'm a little jealous, actually. And Baby's Belly is here to serve you. The brain…
I confess; I made my own baby food. But just so we're clear, I was less a domestic goddess and more a garden-variety control freak. I spent late nights cooking and chopping and freezing, and honestly, I took no joy in it whatsoever. Bori…
Thanks to smart people figuring out that baby food doesn't have to taste like garbage, I no longer have to cringe every time it's mealtime for my 11-month-old. But now, baby food is so darn tasty that my older kids can't stop eating it e…
Recently Liz and I attended the Fancy Food Show in New York where we found Tasty Baby , a line of frozen organic baby foods that may just cause me to exceed my superlatives usage quotient for the day. How do I know that this baby food ta…
My mother was the queen of homemade baby food. And while I admire her commitment and even bought a micro food processor to follow in her footsteps, more often than not I have to reach for something cooked, pureed, and packaged far from m…
Thankfully, BPA free plastic baby bottles are now easy to find, but if you've decided to go the extra careful route and use glass bottles for your baby, you might find the search a little trickier. Well now you can hop over to your local…
Can you imagine there are actually people out there who don't coordinate their baby's bottle to his blanket, bib, and onesie? Heh. But seriously, if you're a glass bottle user or just want to take the plunge from plastic, make sure to ch…
I'm actually glad that I pitched all of the bottles I used for my first two kids and had to buy new ones for surprise baby #3. Because with all the recent news about plastics leaching BPA and who knows what chemicals into the milk, I've …
Call me ecologically bankrupt, but I'm willing to pay for convenience . Disposable dipes and wipes are a mainstay around here, as was jarred baby food--until I tried the Beaba Babycook . (Update: Now the Beaba Babycook Pro, shown below.)…
