When my baby became more active around 9 months old, his whole lifestyle changed. He started crawling, walking, and engaging in all sorts of activities that demanded a diaper that stayed put. Whenever his diapers would wriggle around or shift lopsided, we’d often pick him up only to discover leaks. And don’t even get me […]

When my daughter was born, she had incredibly sensitive skin that required me to modify many of the products we used, even down to the detergent for my own clothes. But one thing she weirdly never struggled with? Diaper rash. It’s a common problem for so many babies but luckily, not mine. And I attribute […]

Personally, I’m a big believer in probiotics for me and for my kids. They’re helpful for digestion and supporting immune health, and when Caden was dealing with bouts of tummy troubles during potty training, I knew I had to take action. He’d go days without pooping, constantly complain about tummy aches, and was really hesitant […]

I try my best to serve healthy, nutritious meals to my children, but let’s be real—it’s a challenge. To be honest, it’s tough. As a full-time working mom, I can’t always juggle everything (even though doing weekly meal prep does make a difference). There are days when the convenience of macaroni and cheese, fish sticks, […]

When my baby came down with his first virus, his congested little nose, cough and discomfort broke my heart. I immediately turned to the internet, and learned cold and flu medications aren’t approved for babies and toddlers. So my search quickly turned into looking for natural remedies. Steam with essential oils like eucalyptus, and humidifiers […]

Coterie vs. Healthy Baby vs. Freestyle vs. Happy Little Camper vs. Kudos If you’ve been researching diapers for your little one, you’ve likely come across the whole chlorine debate in the form of a battle between Total Chlorine Free (TCF) versus Elemental Chlorine Free (ECF) diapers. It’s a hot topic for good reason. Personally, if […]

This post is in partnership with Baby’s Only. I only endorse products I believe in and would personally use with my family. Three days after Caden was born, our pediatrician voiced her concern over Caden’s weight. I was still in the hospital recovering, but wasn’t allowed to leave until he gained more weight. Like most […]
