With babies, every first is amazing. Not even the big obvious ones, like their first steps or first words. But even little moments can be the biggest things when you miss them. Take it from Jennifer Craven, who burst into tears when she realized she hadn’t been there to see her daughters nails painted for the first time, or Rebecca

When your child’s dentist asks you how your kid has so many cavities, it might not just be the holiday season that’s too blame. A recent study at King’s College in London has found a link between women who suffered stress during their pregnancy and increased risk of developing dental cavities later in life. That’s less than good, so when

The placenta is one of the most important parts of a woman’s body during pregnancy. It’s what provides their baby with a means to get blood and nutrients, and if the placenta isn’t operating at peak efficiency, that could result in everything from growth restriction to stillbirth. Just recently however, doctors have become able to identify, within the first trimester,

Carrie Saum, a health care provider in Portland, has created a new sipping soup, great for women who are breastfeeding or even just looking for a fresh start to the morning. The Mean Green is a delicious wake-me-up, and leaves enough freedom in the instructions so that you can add anything you can think of to the mix. You owe

She’s a huge proponent of placing twins in different classes, and that means a LOT of shuffling around kids at the start of term. But this way, Postman says, they’ll be forced to make

Taking children to weddings can be a …difficult affair sometimes. Most children, it turns out, don’t much see the point of wearing fancy clothes that aren’t as totally rad as a dinosaur costume. Joey Lombardi found this out the hard way when his son Ben insisted he should wear a green T-Rex outfit – tail included – to his Aunt’s

A recent study by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (the guys we trust to stop the zombies) has found that 1 in every 10 women has had at least one drink during their pregnancy. That’s not ideal, no, but it’s just a single drink or a simple mixup. It’s okay. It’s the other finding from the study

Salt Lake City photographer Jonathan Diaz just jumped up the “pretty cool” guy rankings by a few rungs, thanks to starting “Anything Can Be”, a photo service giving children suffering from cancer a chance to have a picture as something else. Like as Batman. Or a mermaid. Or as themselves, but being friends with a badass unicorn. The pictures themselves

Pregnancy is full of unexpected surprises, some of them small, some of them all of a sudden having the baby four months too early on a cruise ship. But that’s what happened to Emily Morgan after her, her husband, and her daughter went on a cruise, after getting okayed by their physician to go on the vacation. And then, all

A recent study has confirmed that bit of info we’ve known since WE were all kids; that apples are great. A recent study has found that almost 20% of the fruit eaten by children are apples. There’s even an upswing as time passes, and they typically consume more apples as they get older. Though, about 1/3rd of all apples are
