Baby Snowsuit for Winter

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but as I write these words, there is a huge blizzard engulfing the East Coast of the United States right now. Feet of snow, hurricane force wind gusts, whiteout conditions, this blizzard has it all. This has inspired me to write a post about baby gear essentials for this type of weather. It’s winter, a simple blanket will not suffice. Bundle your baby up in a baby…

Ah, fatherhood. I was on Quora recently and I came across a question about what it was like to get home with a newborn for the first time.

Don’t Make The Same Mistake I Made.

Don’t buy a cheap infant car seat. Given, my wife was admitted to the hospital on preterm labor. And I, along with the doctors, feared she was going to give birth at any moment. But, I still made a foolish mistake. I rushed out and bought a stroller and carseat travel system combo. A set that was on sale. A set I thought would work at the time. Now, the…

Co-Sleeping vs The Crib

Co-Sleeping or Crib Sleeping?

We chose co-sleeping. And I’ll be honest: My son is almost 2 years old and he’s never spent the night in his crib. Not even once. We have a really nice crib, too. He took a day nap in it a couple of times. It has an attached changer, so we use it all of the time to change his diaper. The changer has several drawers, and we use those, too. We have just never really…

Toddler Toys and Baby Gear

Toddler Toys

They say there’s nothing more contagious than the laughter of young children, it doesn’t even have to matter what they’re laughing about. After the birth of my son, I’m inclined to agree. In the beginning, babies don’t really need toys. They are content to play with your finger or explore the texture of your shirt. As time progresses, they are not so easily entertained. Enter in the…
