Spring colors,
new bras!
|  | |
New bras have arrived from Bravado and Anita, with some fun spring colors. We are loving the new polkadot bra from Anita. This bra is wire-free with a molded cup for extra coverage. An added bonus: visually interesting to baby! Also new, the Bravado Body Silk is now available in a fabulous and bright Orchid Pink.

One foot, two foot
right foot, left foot

The brainchild of a graphic designer mom, Shoezooz are simple, durable vinyl stickers that help toddlers gain independence by teaching them which shoe goes on which foot-no reading required. All of a sudden, putting on shoes becomes a fun activity. At $6.00 for a pack of 3, there can be a Shoezoo in every shoe!

It's FREE and tastes great
By Sara Dodder Furr, MA, LLLL, IBCLC
 | | Sara Dodder Furr |
My son told me about something that happened in his high school classroom today. They were discussing population growth and birth rates in the United States compared to other countries. The teacher noted that, though the birth rate in the U.S. is as low as in some other countries, our population growth is higher due to the greater number of people who immigrate to the U.S. In addition, according to the teacher, larger families are more common and highly valued among some immigrant cultures because more children are needed to make the family successful. Our American culture may value smaller families because of the high cost of raising a child in our society.
So what makes it so expensive to raise a child in the United States? The teacher went on to say part of the issue is companies marketing unnecessary products to new parents. As an example, companies often provide a few weeks' or months' worth of free formula to new parents. To really hook those new parents, the companies send literature warning them about possible ill effects associated with changing formulas - at the very time the flow of free formula has ended, with the goal being that the baby will be fed the formerly free formula, now sold at a premium price. The teacher went on to say that it made no sense for a parent to buy expensive brand-name formula when ... wait for it ... generic formula is just as good and less expensive!
