Little Austen José is definitely steering the dinner conversations at his house. I laughed when I heard Daddy José got a text message about a successful poop.
We parents all know how silly we feel the first time we realize how often we talk about poopy diapers! But keeping track of baby’s bowel movements is critical [...]

Sounds like little Henry and Eleanor keep the Arledge Family busy! The doctor is right about Henry’s habit of holding his breath – it’s really nothing to worry about for most parents. But it’s so scary when he holds it so long that he passes out! As long as you make sure he doesn’t hurt [...]

What a cute gift basket! PoshCravings discovered an “eco-mom” gift basket from The Green Perspective. We’re a little biased, of course, because it includes our own “Raising Baby Green”.
Another sighting in the gift department: Gone Green Site gave “Raising Baby Green” a thumbs up as well.

Eileen called Dr. Greene himself for the article to find out what a time- and cash-strapped parent could do. [...]

Thanks, Baby Blog Addict, for putting the spotlight on “Raising Baby Green.”  As you mentioned, Dr. Greene encourages parents to take care in selecting skin care products for our littlest family members.
