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. […]

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 little […]

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 […]

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 bad back, […]

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 […]
