More from CafeMom: Moms Are Sharing the Most Infuriating Things People Have Said While They’re Breastfeeding Babies in the womb are doing so many shocking things. Not only are they learning to move their fingers, toes, and limbs (something we all feel so distinctly), they are also sometimes dreaming, sometimes yawning, sometimes sucking their thumb, and a million other truly astounding things. Here are seven amazing things your baby can already do when he or she is inside your belly....
Gwyneth Paltrow — the high priestess of superiority — for instance, is famous for having said she’s never had a gray hair. The comment seems highly dubious for someone already 40, but one can at least understand the worry she has in deigning to admit that she, like all real people, is aging. So what is a graying actress to do? Hide it! Some admit it. Others are caught in between appointments....
Nowhere is this more true than when it comes to the gifts he gives us and we give him. Ask any new couple celebrating their first Christmas or their first birthdays together and you will hear about the ultimate new relationship conundrum: What can I give him that says what I want it to say about “us”? Equally important is this: What does what he gives ME say about “us”?...
Q: We will be moving to another state this summer. My daughters will be going into second and fourth grade and have always attended the same school, with the same set of friends, and we have always lived in our current town. I’m worried about how they will adjust. Is there anything I can do to help them? A: I can understand your concern. Moving in and of itself is a stressful event (for both kids and adults), let alone having to leave established friendships and routines....
And what that means is that it’s a breeding ground for mistakes. So many terrible, long-lasting, devastating, regrettable mistakes are made because we’re on an emotional roller coaster, or because the legal process is messy, or both. “It’s what I call the ‘divorce paradox,’” says divorce lawyer Rebecca Zung, author of Breaking Free: A Step-By-Step Divorce Guide to Emotional, Physical and Spiritual Freedom. “In the worst emotional trauma, you have to make the most critical decisions of your life....
But with some patience — and great tips — you and your toddler will have the hang of things in no time. Here are some clever tricks to keep in mind when you step inside the magical — and sometimes messy — world of potty training. Tired of your little one using 12 sheets of toilet paper every time she makes a drop of pee? Over getting splashed in the face?...
Whatever you do, don’t do what Jersey Shore’s Deena Cortese did. By the way, don’t you just want to chase this poor woman down and inform her of her awkward half-wedgie? Oof! But what about when it’s your blood? Aunt Flo makes a surprise visit and you have nothing, NOTHING? This is a good reason to stock tampons along with your safety pins. It’s the only way. Otherwise, prepare to sit out the rest of the beach outing sitting directly on the sand or on paper towels with a beach towel wrapped around your waist....
Looks like the Midwest is where the handsome fellas reside, so if you’re on a coast, you may want to pick up and move — or at least reconsider your vacation plans!

Hurtful. Insulting. Ignorant. Rude. These are declarations that I — and other moms of only children — really don’t want to hear. Questions we really don’t want to answer. So be kind. Take the time to read this list — and the next time you find yourself saying something like this to another mom, bite your lip, and give her a sweet compliment instead.

I’ve hooked up with the ladies from Salon Nfuse here in Nashville (hairstylists and makeup artists who’ve worked on everyone from Nicole Kidman to Julianne Hough) to do a series of hair and makeup how-tos. We’re starting today with daytime eye makeup that anyone can master! And our model here is the lovely Ellen, wearing an expression that I’m sure many of you have when you wake up in the morning and get a look at yourself in the mirror....
And I have finally found it — but there’s just one problem. There’s a massive comment chain on Beautylish about it. Every other review on Sephora and Ulta mentions it. Hell, I’ve experienced it myself — but I thought it only happened to me. “I love how easy it was to apply… but after 3 weeks the brush end broke off.” — Kate, Ulta. “This was the first eyebrow pencil I used when I first started to fill in my eyebrows, and it’s super easy to use and looks great!...
Ask Dad has returned from his wintry hibernation. I’m declaring that 2011 is time to get back to the basics of love. So give me your troubles, we’ll clear them right up: I’m very much in love with a new man. I think he’s the one. Marriage material. There’s just one little problem. He’s uncut, and I hate to say it, but it really grosses me out. I want him to get circumcised, but how could I possibly ask?...
The chemicals in question are called perfluorinated alkylate substances, or PFASs, if you prefer less of a tongue-twister; they’re involved in the manufacture of waterproof and stain-resistant products. And like lots of chemicals, they have a tendency to hang around in the human body. PFASs haven’t been studied much, but we do know that they have some effects on the human body. They might mess up some hormones, play merry hell with the developing reproductive tract, and they might even interfere with vaccines, so that a child’s immunization winds up not being effective....
Benjamin Millepied, the HOT ballet-dancing new fiance of actress Natalie Portman (and dad-to-be of the couple’s baby on the way) has an artsy, abstract tattoo running down his left set of abs. But what is the tattoo and what does it symbolize? Hmm, let me study this tattoo closer for awhile and get back to you … Okay, I’m back. After intently studying the tattoo for a few hours (you’re welcome) and then spending a couple minutes clicking around the internet, I found out everything you need to know about Benjamin Millepied’s tattoo....
My husband must get so sick of me saying this. My breasts, although so tempting to my man with their increased fullness, are no longer for his pleasure. My “twins” are to breastfeed our twins and nothing more. For me, sex can be challenging with two loaded boobies. I need a position that doesn’t make them bounce around a lot … The best sex position for breastfeeders is man on top, but with your torsos in an “L” shape....
This isn’t such a strange desire coming from a tween, soon-to-be-teen. Piercings and tattoos are personal statements, and you tell me if there is a time in a girl’s life when she is more pressed to make a personal statement than at 12. The thing is, some stuff is irreversible, some stuff sends out the wrong message, some stuff is suggestive–you know, sexual–in a way a 12-year-old might not mean....
