The likely culprit? A growth spurt, which requires more milk. “Think of cluster feeding as a baby placing his order for milk,” says Jennifer Lincoln, MD, an ob/gyn and lactation consultant at Bundoo, where parents can consult with doctors online. “When babies are going through a growth spurt, they require more milk. In order to communicate this to their mother, they cluster feed. This tells the breasts that more milk is needed, and within a few days, voila: production increases and baby gets exactly what he asked for!...

At the heart, it’s supposed to protect kids from the horrors that befell the proposed law’s namesake, a little girl who was beaten by her babysitter, resulting in brain and retinal hemorrhaging. Daycare providers won’t be able to smack their charges without a parent’s written permission. Excuse me for being dense here, but we really need a law for this? I’m by no means a spanking advocate, but even the most rabid “spare the rod, you’re creating a brat” parents I know will tell you corporal punishment is a personal decision made by a child’s parents....

As her condition became life-threatening, Wesley had to helplessly watch Samantha suffer as they waited the agonizing 10 months for their baby to be born. Kirstie explains that her sister’s conditions took a massive toll on her body and put her in serious danger throughout her entire pregnancy. “She was hospitalized four times for dehydration and had to be induced for her safety and the safety of her child.” Day after day, Kirstie says that her sister basically lived by the toilet vomiting and that Wesley couldn’t do a thing to help her....

I wanted the whole staff to try it actually. Lucky for us, the company sent me a POP in amethyst to try out (so much like Deadly Nightshade!). See Jacqueline up there? The shirt matches, yes, which only makes her flirty look even more appealing, as if she is saying I dare you to try it! Looks good on me! Check out the other nine of us daring ladies who put a little punky pink in our tresses …....

Whenever I get home from work it’s always the same. I ask her about her day with the boys. She tells me a little bit whilst she’s still getting stuff done. I use that as open license to talk about mine. She’s usually cleaning the kitchen or still getting the kids ready for bed. Rarely do I ever get home and she’s sitting down. Normally after a few seconds she cuts me off....

So, Mom, with all your talking, do you really know your shit? (I had to, allow me that obscenity!) Let’s talk about poop. Grossed out yet? Did you know poop’s colors were so important to knowing what’s going on inside? Image ©iStock.com/FamVeld Potential problems: If they haven’t pooped or cleared out the meconium in a few days, talk to the doc. And, make sure you’re counting pee diapers (nudity or cloth helps with accuracy in this since disposables can hide a single pee) to make sure baby’s eating enough....

So how do the beverages compare exactly? We looked at calorie info, price, and of course, taste to determine which is better: The Frappe or the Frappuccino. Beverage: McCafe Mocha Frappe, 16 oz. Price: $2.79 plus tax. Nutrition: 560 calories; 24 grams of fat; 70 grams of sugar. Overall: How does the Frappe taste? Pretty darn good … and if you don’t believe me: The proof is in the caloric information....

Kellogg had delivered her first two children (a now 5-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter) at a hospital, but didn’t like that she had been pressured into getting several medical interventions that didn’t seem to help. “I’m a physician and a relatively risk-averse person in general, so initially the thought of a home birth was a bit unsettling,” Kellogg admits. “Yet, after doing more research, the thought of having our birth with women trained by Ina May Gaskin, arguably the most famous midwife in the world, did seem pretty exciting....

But as a grown woman, I leave the tiara-wearing and princess love to my toddler. So when I found out that one Japanese company named Bellemaison makes sexy Disney-themed lingerie for adult women, I chalked it up to “things I don’t understand and never will.” But I couldn’t help wanting to get another glimpse. The company’s “Disney Fantasy Shop” features four $38 bra and panty options. You can choose among the following princesses: Cinderella, Belle from Beauty and the Beast, Aurora from Sleeping Beauty, or Rapunzel....

Thirty-five-year-old Matt Connolly, who co-created the new UK-based dating site called MyLovelyParent.com, says his mom served as his inspiration. He calls her “a very lovely lady in her 60s, who has been single for too long. Early last year she asked me if I could help find her knight in shining armor.” Awwww! Of course there are a plethora of other dating sites where you could log on under your parent’s account and pretty much run the show, screening potential candidates on their behalf, or “supervising” the “weeding” process....

Elle.com loved this Parisian’s lingerie-inspired look, but I’m thinking she gives new meaning to the term ‘streetwalker.’ My tip? Avoid anything that’s overtly lingerie-like, i.e., corsets, bras and merry widows. Don’t choose lingerie-inspired clothing that’s too tight or shows too much skin. Stay away from cheap-looking lace- You know what I’m talking about. And know before you go out looking that most of what you find is going to be inappropriate and/or tacky- I discovered this fact after spending the last hour sifting through hundreds of options out there to find a handful of lingerie-inspired items that were appropriate....

We all knew. Of course we need to focus on healthy eating. Of course we need to set a good example by eating well in front of our kids. But obviously if we tend to store the fat, or shed it easier, our kids could have these same traits. You know what else your baby might inherit from you? Brown eyes A short temper Artistic talent A smart mouth A love for cheese Math ability A crooked nose...

“Cherry bomb ombre” was invented by famous hair colorist Beth Minardi, who’s worked with such celebs as Brad Pitt, Julianne Moore, Cameron Diaz, and Evan Rachel Wood. She knows her stuff, in other words. Where some current hair trends use otherwordly shades or even glitter to turn heads, cherry bombre relies on lowlights for a subtly explosive pop of color. And while red might seem like a weird choice, “the brunette’s natural undertone is red,” explains Stephanie Johnson, a Dallas-based licensed beauty professional, makeup artist and trained cosmetology educator....

I remember my mother taking me to a local department store to pick out a new swimsuit for the occasion. As soon as we got into the girl’s section, I saw it — a bright yellow bikini with big white daises that had ’90s-BB-Lauren written all over it. The next day at the party, confused and a little heartbroken, I shared the story with my friend, and in the matter-of-fact way only kids can speak, she said, “It’s probably because you’re fat....

My middle kid who is 13 finished his dinner and gave this review: “It was food. It was pretty good, I guess.” When I asked if he would eat it again, his response was: “Do I have a choice?” Okay then! My college kid, my most verbose critic of the crew, had this to say: title: “I Made Duggar Food For My Family Here S What Happened” ShowToc: true date: “2024-08-27” author: “Mary Sullivan” My middle kid who is 13 finished his dinner and gave this review: “It was food....

Paired with confidence, this look creates the effortlessly chic je ne sais quoi quality French women are so famously envied for. For me, it’s a quality I’ve been in awe of ever since I first visited France at 15. Whenever I tried to duplicate the look on myself, I couldn’t achieve it without the help of heavy foundation — my skin simply wasn’t (and still isn’t) flawless. As a result, I looked too done up....

Back when this long, strange journey began (so, y’know, in May), I had my doubts. But, as I said all those months ago, I also spend 90% of my working life in front of a camera. So I’ll try anything that will make me look awesome under those bright video lights. Two and a half months later, here are my results (and what I’ve learned along the way). HOWEVER! Thanks to the one-two punch of seasonal dryness and a prescription retinoid, my forehead and cheeks were insanely flakey....
