Mr. Bobbles Travel Crib Sheets

November 24, 2008

We are devoted users of our travel crib. My son slept in it from his first night at home, in the bassinet insert at the foot of our bed. (Well, osten­si­bly he slept, but I remem­ber noth­ing about that because if he was asleep, so was I.) We hauled it from coun­try to coun­try, on […]

November 20, 2008

As a mom liv­ing in Ger­many, I have a lot of expe­ri­ence with rough, cob­ble­stone streets. I know sev­eral expect­ing moms who have asked what to look for in a stroller that you’ll be using on bumpy streets, and here’s some points: Pneu­matic tires — at least two of the tires should have rub­ber­ized tires […]

Another great baby carrier

November 18, 2008

I use the Baby-Tragetuecher from Hoppediz for our girl. I also have a Mai Tai, but she is still a bit small for it (or at least, I haven’t yet made it work for her). The Hoppediz car­rier is some­thing I had seen a few times on the street in our town in Ger­man, and […]

Ten Reasons to Wear Your Baby

November 17, 2008

It’s Inter­na­tional Baby­wear­ing Week, and in honor, I will share Ten Rea­sons to Wear Your Baby… or rather ten rea­sons why I wore my baby that might apply to you!

International Babywearing Week

November 16, 2008

This week is Inter­na­tional Baby­wear­ing Week, so we here at Mama’s World­wide thought we’d bring you a cou­ple posts on baby­wear­ing. As a prac­ticer of Attach­ment Par­ent­ing, I’m pro-babywearing, as it has a lot of ben­e­fits for mother and child (Maria’s going to write about some of these tomor­row), unfor­tu­nately, I’ve also got a very […]

Odenwaelder Babynest

November 16, 2008

Last year while in DC over the Christ­mas hol­i­days, we received a lot of com­ments on how warm and snug­gly Oliver looked in his stroller bag.  The stroller bag is a pretty com­mon thing in Ger­many and the rest of Europe, so I thought I’d intro­duce you to the com­pany that pro­duces the baby stroller […]

Hearing Protection for Your Child

November 15, 2008

While I live a life of unique cir­cum­stances, I thought oth­ers might ben­e­fit from know­ing about Pel­tor Kids Ear­muffs. They are not new or an excit­ing toy, but they do serve a very impor­tant pur­pose– to pro­tect your child’s hear­ing at loud events. Due to my husband’s job, my son went to his first basketball […]
