Have you ever been nursing your baby but went crazy because the blanket covering you kept falling down? That can drive a mom nuts, don’t you think?!
Nursing ponchos have become such a huge blessing to me and many of my friends.
Easy Way to Make them: Hem 1 1/4 yard of fabric. Cotton is best, especially in hot weather. Cut a hole in the center for your head, and hem the hole or put binding tape around it
Q: How do you drink enough water, especially when you are pregnant or nursing?
A: Well, I’m not sure that I do drink enough water, but one thing I do is to try to keep water available when I’m on the run. Which is always.
My bathroom:
I have a water bottle in my bathroom that I keep refilling and another water container with it that I’m constantly filling up. Both have lids because that ma

Q: My baby was awake most of the day (slept only in little spurts here and there when I put him down and let him cry a little, although much less crying than he used to).
Then this evening he started getting grumpy because he’d been awake so much and not sleeping or sleeping very lightly when he did. When he starts being fussy and crying about everything, even if I’m holding him, I put him to bed. He

This is an old email from before Reed was born.
What helped with coping with births was mainly relaxing. Relaxing really helps with pain. With home births I always took Tylenol and ibuprofen both, taking a dose alternately every 2 hours.It also helped me to hold Ronny’s hand,
have him read Scripture to me and sometimes I picked out ones I wanted him to read.
Sometimes my midwife/her apprentices would pu
Q: This is my first time to home-school all three of my kids. I am nervous but excited. Mostly I am worried about discipline. Could you give me an idea of class rules or some system to keep order?

9-9:30 Kid 2 plays with Kid 3 while Mom works wi

Okay. Milk supply. I have so struggled with that!One way to increase your supply is to wake him/her in the night for another feeding. Not our first choice!You can get from kettlebyherbfarm.com two herbs: marshmallow root and goat’s rue. Make a tea with them and also drink lots of water.If you want to, you can nurse more often and longer when you do nurse. Don’t nurse again after 2 hours bec
Q:
Hey, Kathy – a departure from our recent topic. My baby isn’t enjoying blanket time, and he spends about 50% of the time crying and sobbing and trying to crawl off. Today was especially traumatic; I think he played about 8 minutes (out of 20) and spent the rest hysterical, sopping with tears and sobbing for me constantly. He didn’t respond if I tried to show him his toys or get him interested

Question: This little rounder doesn’t want to sleep! Any advice?
I learned a lot from a book called Solve Your Child’s Sleep Problems by Dr. Richard Ferber, who is a sleep doctor and a pediatrician.If your baby has the same basic daily schedule routine (or “order of service” so to speak!) every day, he might be tired around the same times or at certain parts of the daily routine.
