When my wife and I were getting ready for the arrival of our baby girl, I remember feeling completely swamped with all the things we needed to buy, and that included baby clothes. I remember thinking what on earth were babygrows and onesies, and when should our baby wear them? Also, what was the difference … Read more
Although my wife and I were never big users of baby carriers when our two children were smaller, I know many parents who are avid fans of baby wearing. They just love the convenience of keeping their baby close and having their hands free to do other tasks. So if you think purchasing a baby … Read more
These days we take it for granted when we change a disposable diaper for the millionth time and put a new one on our baby. But I often wonder what did parents do before disposable diapers were invented? What material did they use? How did they manage? The first disposable diapers were invented in the … Read more
I’ve lost track on the amount of money my wife and I have spent on diapers for both our children, as well as the number of changes we’ve done over the years. In fact, it’s probably best not to think about it. I figure my toddler has at least another year to go before he … Read more
