Six Natural Remedies For Constipation
Let's get to the bottom of the situation. Constipation is no fun for babies or parents alike. Watching your lil one struggle to have a bowel movement can be heart-wrenching as you sit there and wait for it to pass.
Could You Bring Up Baby in a Foreign Country?
Most mamas don't have spare time to imagine what it'd be like to raise children in a foreign land, but it's certainly a worthy exercise. Babies, a documentary film that focuses on a year in the life of four cherub-face little ones from around the world promises to makes us take a mental parenting trip. The film isn't set to open until next Spring, but the trailer has been released and stolen a little piece of my heart.

Très Cool! Babies Cry in Their Native Language
I've always found it fascinating that dogs "bark" in different languages. Though we say "ruff ruff" in English, that same noise is expressed as "ouah, ouah" in French. Now here's something even cooler: German researchers have started to think that babies' wails sound different depending on what language their parents speak.
What Do You Know About Baby Talk?
No doubt about it, moms and dads can hardly wait to hear their babe's first words. While there are some great things you can do to encourage language development in babies, the main thing most tots need is a little time. Before stressing about your little one's speech (or lack thereof) take this quiz to see how well you know baby talk.
Did You Trade Dine In For Takeout After Having Children?
Couples may enjoy white tablecloths and candlelight before baby, but after becoming parents hearing that there's an hour-long wait at a hot eatery isn't as enticing. Getting food to go allows mom and dad the chance to eat their favorite entrees without any of the worry of entertaining their tots during the experience or public mid meal meltdowns. Once you had children did you table your reservations and turn to takeout more often?
Is Birth More About the Mother or Baby?
A friend recently told me she was shocked that I had allowed my sisters and sister-in-law into the delivery room when I had my kids. I told her I don't think of birth as a production centered around me and my husband, but rather the baby. Each of my children was lucky enough to be welcomed into the world with their godmother present.
Has Your Child Slipped Into Her First Pair of Heels?
My daughter doesn't have a swank pair of custom-made high-heeled slippers like Suri Cruise, but she was gifted a bag of plastic princess ones a few years ago. Though my girl only wore them around the house to play dress up, her feet are not strangers to an arch. While shopping for dress shoes at Nordstrom, there were several wedge and tiny kitten-heel styles available in her size!
Safety Gates For Design-Conscience Parents
Stairs are enticing for lil ones who aren't supposed to play on them. Though several LilSugar readers told us they didn't do much in the way of babyproofing their homes, safety gates are a staple for many families with steep staircases. Consumer Reports recommends using the baby gates until a child is two-years-old.
