Instead of ignoring the issue, Laura Mazza is breaking it down for her partner — and all husbands who don’t understand — exactly why moms might have a headache or don’t want to be touched in bed tonight. “Because she was touched excessively by young people who have seriously sticky fingers,” she wrote on her Facebook page, Mum on the Run. “Even her eyeballs were touched today.” However, as many busy moms know, the list of possible reasons why goes on from there....

Severinsen is a Norwegian mom and author of the upcoming book I’m So Pregnant: An Illustrated Look at the Ups and Downs (and Everything in Between) of Pregnancy, which perfectly illustrates what being pregnant (and having morning sickness and getting unsolicited advice and carrying around the weight of a tiny human and then some) really looks like.

“It is not necessary to warm milk,” says Cheryl Wu, MD, a pediatrician in New York. “Milk is fine to be dispensed at room temperature.” Some experts say it all depends on what each individual baby prefers. Those who breastfeed are accustomed to imbibing their beverage of choice at body rather than room temperature, and may prefer a warm bottle. “Many pediatricians will tell you there’s not a medical reason to warm the bottle, that’s it’s more of a personal preference,” says Lauren de la Rosa, a baby feeding and nutrition expert at NurturMe....

I’m dismayed his teeth seem to be clinging to his jaw with such fierce tenaciousness, because if those suckers don’t start loosening up and falling out on their own, it’s inevitable he’ll have to endure another dentist visit. And honestly, I don’t know if ANY of us can survive another visit like what happened last time. My husband was the one who took our son to the dentist for the extraction....

Yes, naked yoga is a bit on the odd side. However, it’s nothing compared to these eight other wacky workout classes across the country. Boing With Kangoo: Offered at Crunch gyms, this class has gym-goers strapping on Kangoo Jumps (essentially Inspector Gadget looking bouncy Rollerblades sans wheels) and exercising. Stiletto Bootcamp Workout: Are you one of those girls who say heels don’t faze you? Try working out in them for an hour, and then maybe you’ll be saying something different....

Basically you’re rocking a 70’s vibe (as Gwyneth once put it) in the front, but waxing everything else bare. Your undercarriage? Zip. The front of you? Full cavewoman. For real. This is a thing women are getting done … supposedly. So basically it’s the reverse mohawk of bikini waxes. The thought that comes to most people’s minds when they first hear about it is, WHAT IS THE POINT OF THAT?...

Instead, it was how Watts would treat her in bed that was the cause of serious red flags. “He seemed normal at first. He didn’t strike me as violent or strange,” she said. “But nothing about him alarmed me until he tried to choke me. That freaked me out." As Watts awaits his next court appearance in November, he is under suicide watch at Colorado’s Weld County Jail and kept isolated for 23 hours a day....

So, wait, babies are crawling — like a 7-month-old? Not exactly. Take a look: Embedded content: https://www.youtube.com/embed/uMcgJR8ESRc This video from the Global Health Media Project has been gaining a bit of attention, and rightfully so. Following three new mothers and their babies just after birth, the international organization hopes to show a baby’s natural instinct to “breast crawl,” and its success. In case you didn’t know, a breast crawl is when a newborn — who’s placed on Mom’s tummy, typically for the first hour after birth — finds and moves to mother’s breast on his or her own....

Two weeks after a baby, when my body still resembled hot cookie dough (only lumpier) and my vagina was, um, sore, the LAST thing on my mind was sex. My husband, on the other hand, clearly had other priorities. It isn’t that he is some kind of jerk, either. Men think about sex. Even Tori Spelling said the reason she fell pregnant again so soon after her last was a desire to not let her husband think their sex life was dead....

Enter the “Mommy Makeover.” According to plastic surgeons, this combination of procedures (usually a tummy tuck, breast lift/augmentation/reduction, and liposuction all done at one time) is growing in popularity every year and it isn’t just celebrities going under the knife. Click on to find out why real moms, just like you, feel about their “mommy makeover”. From those who’ve already done it to those who are still considering, get the inside scoop on cost, pain and recovery time....

It’s not a completely irrational fear either, given my personal and family history. When I was 8 years old, my mom lost a baby five months into her pregnancy. To make a terrible situation even more tragic, the doctor botched her D&C (dilation and curettage) and was forced to perform an emergency hysterectomy. Mom lost not only her child but also her ability to have more. My sister has twice experienced pregnancy loss....

I want to make it clear, no one is blaming anyone for this tragedy, as some booster seats say they are safe for kids as little as 30 pounds. But the truth is, they are not. It hurt my heart to read this story. But there is a lot we can learn from it. I see parents nearly every day improperly putting their child in their car seat or using a seat that is unsafe....

On the menu, it states that customers who order the signature dish — a bowl of rice with salmon roe — are subject to pay extra if they don’t finish it. And their rationale for such a rule is spot on. Evidently, the working conditions for the fish farmers are dangerous and can even be deadly — not eating the food they worked so hard to put on your plate is not only a waste, but an insult to their profession....

Oh, I knew he had a fetish for bikinis (which is why I have more bikinis than sets of bras and underwear) and I knew he liked tight tank tops and shorts, but sundresses? This was new. “I feel the need to grope you,” my husband said when I came out of the bedroom wearing a relatively tame — albeit see-through and short — thick-strapped, boho sundress. And then I started seeing Facebook status updates from my male friends, like: “Summer = Sundress season....

I went to a sex toy party last weekend (my first, and yes, it was hilarious), and the “goddess” was talking pheromones. These fragrant oils are supposed to react differently with each person’s body chemistry to create your own unique scent — either to attract the boys or just to give you a signature smell. So what does this have to do with pregnancy? That women possibly smell “pregnant” is no big news — how do you think your dog knows to stop jumping on your belly and start acting more protective of the mama-to-be?...

If you’ve given birth a time or two (or three), you probably think you’ve seen it all. But the magical thing about birth is that each and every one is totally unique. That’s why everyone — including veteran moms like me — is in awe of these gorgeous photos by Kayla Reeder that give a rare, up-close look at the incredible transformation a baby’s head makes during birth.

(OMG. I seriously need to take a deep breath before going any further.) When Sonja Cross’ second-grade son came home from school in tears, she learned that he’d asked his teacher to use the restroom, and she’d refused, because he did not have any “Boyd Bucks” to pay for the trip. Sonja then explained, “He tried to hold it as much as he could, but he just couldn’t.” (I’m tearing up....

Jamie from London, Ontario is a wife and the mother of a new baby girl. A year ago, she told her husband that she is bisexual. Here, she shares with us how that has changed her marriage in surprising ways. When did you start to realize that you were attracted to both men and women?I feel like I always knew I liked boys. Like, I had the regular crushes on cute boys when I was growing up, and I started dating in high school like everyone else....

Like in the first dream ever, David approached Ellis, but unlike last time, Ellis began to feel more alert and mobile. He could squirm a little bit.

Here are some of my favorite sexy places around the house! Why not have a little afternoon delight … on the kitchen table? It can be a sexy change of pace to get all carnal and spontaneous right there where you eat. And sex is way more fun! Get it on right on top of the washing machine. Throw a load of towels in the washing machine, hop on top of it, and get down and dirty while the towels get all clean....
