Having a baby with occasional constipation is not any fun. I know this from personal experience. My daughter suffered from occasional constipation when she was an infant and I felt so helpless as a parent. I think I tried everything you could do to soothe a baby who had occasional constipation, some things worked, some didn’t, but I did learn a lot from the experience.

Having a baby is a life changing experience for everyone, including our four legged friends. For many, our dogs are our first babies and we want to make the transition as easy as possible for them.

How to Save on Baby Formula

Even though I had to give her formula, I am still a good mom and I am giving her the food and nutrients that she needs to grow.

Being a mom to a toddler, I have a lot of experience with diapers! I have tried all kinds of name brand and store brand diapers but the ones I love the most are Pampers. I was excited to hear that Pampers is launching a new Premium Care line of diapers that will be available at Walmart later this month. I was sent a box of the new Pampers Premium Care diapers to try out for myself.

My box of diapers came with some other great items like a cute diaper holder that will go great in my diaper bag and a cute little journal to write down all of my Mother’s Promises for my daughter. This will be cute to give her when she has a milestone birthday, like 16 or 18.

For some babies, a trip in the car can be a relaxing experience and can help soothe them. For others, being in the car can lead to screaming and crying in the backseat. This isn’t good for baby or the person driving. It can be very stressful; I know first hand how tense and anxious a crying baby can make you when you are driving. I have a few tips for babies who hate their car seats. Some of these worked great for my baby and I hope they do for yours as well.
