the newbie: Bathtime is Not Fun

I remember loving the bath as a kid. Rubber duckie, squirting seal, mermaid dolls and warm bubbles… delightful. I’m sure my memories are from age three or later, but for some reason I imagined that all little ones like the bath. Not baby June. When we registered for baby things, I didn’t pay much attention to toys, except for the … read more

the newbie: Naptime…or Not

The solid food advice was great—thank you! Our doctor has advised us to blend up some of what we’re eating so she can try everything (except honey). I’m excited—we start tonight! But at this doctor’s visit, something else came up: Naps. I mentioned that June was only taking two very brief naps a day (20-30 minutes). The doctor gasped. “Babies … read more

the newbie: Let’s Eat!

Next week, June will be six months old! I can hardly believe it. One thing I’m really excited about is: Solid Food. Of course, it’s not truly “solid” — more like mush (so why do they call it “solid”?). Anyway, we’re about to get the talk from the doctor’s office about how to start her out on this culinary path. … read more

the newbie: Questions About Pumping

We’ve talked about breastfeeding here before (in the beginning when I was having a terrible time, you guys were so incredibly supportive—thank you!). Now, things are going smoothly in that department, but I’ve got a new challenge: Pumping. Because we have a part-time babysitter during the week, I’m leaving bottles for June and using up a freezer supply of pumped … read more
