CARES travel system

June 18, 2010

It is sum­mer, which means travel time in our home. In the past, we have flown with our car seat and go-go-kidz, which I still love and lend out to my friends quite fre­quently. Now that The Boy (TB) is get­ting big­ger, how­ever, I decided to invest in acar seat cover and CARES sys­tem. I […]

Separation while extended nursing

September 8, 2009

I fig­ure I’m a lit­tle unusual in the mod­ern, west­ern world.  At 25 months, my son Oliver is still breast­feed­ing, and last week­end was our first extended sep­a­ra­tion since his birth. I’ve left Oliver for a few hours before, even for almost a full day, but he’s never spent a night with­out me.  I was a […]

Breastfeeding in Italy with a Toddler

August 18, 2009

I started this post after we returned from Italy in March 2009, but I never fin­ished it. What bet­ter time to do so than now? Before we left for Milan, I was a bit anx­ious about nurs­ing a tod­dler on the flights and abroad.  I was used to how nurs­ing a two year old was seen […]

Time change and a toddler

March 30, 2009

Dif­fer­ent peo­ple han­dle the time change with a tod­dler dif­fer­ently. Before we left for Milan, I checked my sleep books and then the inter­net look­ing for infor­ma­tion jet lag. I was con­cerned how he would react, and the only site I found with any infor­ma­tion I could agree remotely with was Deli­cious Baby.  How­ever, because […]

What's in My Carry-On?

March 22, 2009

A series of recent flights has caused me to eval­u­ate and re-evaluate what I have been pack­ing in my carry-on bag. The Boy is now two and some of the items that used to occupy space are no longer needed, while we dis­cov­ered the need for some new items. I thought I would share a […]

The Best European Car Seats

December 19, 2008

Accord­ing to the Ger­man con­sumer rat­ings mag­a­zine Stiftung War­entest, these are the top five car seats in each cat­e­gory that have earned either a “good” or “very good” qual­ity rat­ing.  The num­ber in paren­the­sis is the score received, the lower the score, the bet­ter the car seat did in tests.  When fewer than five seats […]

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 […]

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! Trav­el­ing light.  The first inter­na­tional trip I took The Boy on, I had way too much gear– car seat, stroller, dia­per bags (yes, more than one). […]

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 […]
