Having a baby born with a medical condition or a gene that could trigger a condition is scary. Not knowing about your baby’s condition is even scarier. That’s why newborn screening is so important—even lifesaving. We’ve teamed up with Save Babies Through Screening Foundation, a nonprofit organization that advocates for newborn screening, to spread the word.

Butter up Mama! Mama Mio’s deliciously rich creams for your growing pregnancy
When I found out I was pregnant (with my first child!) I was OVER THE MOON. Then (with total vanity) I screamed “Please heaven above, NO stretch marks!”
Pregnancy is a huge blessing, particularly if you’ve been waiting awhile like my hubby and I have. But no matter how many books you read, horror stories you hear, tips you pick up from your friends or family, one can’t be fully prepared for the major changes to your body.

Ultra-Lightweight Travel Crib from BABYBJÖRN
Lightweight, compact, and easy to use baby gear is practically an obsession for me. I actually create spreadsheets with specs whenever I am making a purchase.
At just a pound heavier than my newborn son, the BABYBJÖRN Travel Crib Light is a new favorite of mine. Even in my post-partum state I can easily lift 11 pounds (and that’s including the carrying case).
What really sets the BABYBJÖRN Travel Crib Light apart from other ultra-lightweight travel cribs/playards is the easy set-up. On just my second attempt, I had the crib ready to go in just 45 seconds…
A Mom Amok at a Garden Party
I’m a vegetarian and vegetables are a regular feature at our dining room table. My children, ages three and a half and one and half, love carrots and peas–a little more, please! But even the best eaters may go through a picky phase. And when toddlers seem to want to live on goldfish crackers or your kindergartner has turned into a cookie monster, you’ll want some tips from…Jennie Garth?
Yup. That’s right! Kelly Taylor from 90210 has a new show on iVillage, Garden Party, full of advice for getting your children excited about vegetables. And recently she visited Grand Central for a Love Your Veggies event.
One of our favorite parenting-writers, Brooklyn Mom Blogger Nicole at A Mom Amok, did some digging around in the veggie patch…
Ready, Set, Sleep – A Super-Light and Easy to Set-Up Travel Crib

Now, BabyBjorn has a new entry into the lightweight travel crib category. BabyBjorn Travel Crib Light has a simple “one movement” assembly, making it an innovative new baby gear offering…
