Like a snowflake, everyone has different parenting styles. Instead of judging and criticizing, we need to embrace this difference and we would be much better for it.
Take peoples comments like a grain of salt, because after all, you are the mom/dad, not them. This is something I struggle with and I know I am not alone. It’s hard to get criticized, Continue reading Parenting Styles

The joy of motherhood is something that cannot be explained in words, but there are also times where all you want to do is pull out your hair and be left alone to get some actually SLEEP! My son was a great sleeper and eater until one day we noticed he was arching his back and refusing to eat and never seemed to settle when I placed him on his back to sleep.

This is the reason why he wouldn’t want eat, especially be nursed in the traditional cradle hold and never seemed to want to nap, let alone sleep at night. He was in pain! Seeing him in so much pain was just terrible, I cant even begin to describe it. Continue reading How I cured my babies silent reflux naturally!
When my son was born, I made a commitment to myself to try my best to breastfeed him for a least a year. In the beginning, it was really hard. We had a few latching issues, along with super sore and bleeding nipples, but I carried on through it until it became easier (we are going 3 months strong now)!
