- A Cup of Jo. Some great parenting tips here and here. And here's another great little tidbit.
- MOTHER
- HuffPost Parents - for fun articles to read and pass the time while on the couch breastfeeding
- Good for a giggle (from Steph) www.reasonsmysoniscrying.com
Favourite Baby stuff/gear:
- Best everyday (non-medicated) diaper cream: Penaten daily clear protection cream.... this stuff goes on like butter!
- Best swaddle blankets: Aden + Anais muslin swaddles
- A Mouche-bébé! (like this one or this one) - to relieve stuffy noses so they can breathe properly during colds!
- A great baby carrier... like the Ergobaby or a high-quality sling.
- Favorite product: olive oil! for everything!! (Aggie)
- Best Nipple Cream - Motherlove. Lansinoh makes a great one too. We highly suggest you bring a nipple cream with you to the hospital, and start applying it after every feed. Don't wait for things to get painful!
- Resources for Breastfeeding support: La Leche League (http://www.lllc.ca), and Kellymom.com
- If your baby has colic this is a fantastic book (or even better, just watch the dvd): The Happiest Baby on the Block by Harvey Karp www.happiestbaby.comTiny Tots to Toddler http://www.inspq.qc.ca/tinytot/consultation.asp. Answers most any question a new mom might have!
- Shelly: My favourite baby book was one Robin gave me, called 'Better baby food'. It's a cookbook arranged by age, with tons of great recipes (that I still use!!) and lots of good advice. It is published in Canada by Robert Rose Inc. and the authors are Daina Kalnins and Joanne Saab.
- And one for Andrea... 24 things no one tells you about becoming a dad ;-)
