  Cloth diapering gets talked about like it’s either “too gross” or “too hard,” but most of what you hear is outdated (or wildly exaggerated). With disposable nappies creating nearly 40 million tons of waste every year, it’s no surprise more parents are at least curious about reusables. Let’s bust the biggest common cloth diapering myths, one by one, so you can decide based on facts, not fear. Myth #1: “Cloth diapers are unhygienic.” Reality: Cloth diapers can be hygienic when you wash and dry them properly, just like baby clothes, towels, or bedding. The “gross” part usually comes from unclear wash routines. Most smell and irritation issues are tied to ammonia buildup (from urine breakdown and/or ineffective washing), which is fixable with a better routine. Myth #2: “They leak all the time.” Reality: Leaks are almost always a fit or absorbency issue, not a “cloth” issue. A snug fit around the legs, the right absorbency for your baby’s stage, and timely changes make a big differenc...

  A mother usually doesn’t set out to use Baby Wipes everywhere. It starts with real-life moments: milk on the chin, sweaty neck folds, sticky hands in the stroller. And then the practical worry kicks in, is this actually okay for baby skin, or is it too much? The most honest answer is,  it can be safe, but it depends on your baby’s age, skin sensitivity, and what’s in the wipe. So, when are wipes usually fine beyond the diaper area? For many babies, wipes are commonly used for quick clean-ups on the hands, face, neck folds, arms, and legs, especially when you’re out or between baths. Some baby-care guidance and brand education also notes that wipes can be safe all over when they’re gentle and water-based. What tends to work best is keeping it simple, wipes meant for babies (not household/surface wipes), and a light touch, no scrubbing. When is it better to avoid “all-over” wiping? This is where many mothers get more cautious: Early newborn weeks: Newborn skin is still develop...

  Bringing your baby home is a heartwarming experience, but it also comes with many responsibilities. Among these, feeding your baby is perhaps the most important. For this, a breast pump can be an invaluable tool, ensuring your baby is well fed while also meeting your needs as a mother. Pumping gives you the opportunity to maintain and even increase your milk supply, so you can continue to nourish your child for as long as possible. Using a breast pump not only allows other family members to bond with the baby through feeding, but it also provides much needed relief for you, especially if you’re dealing with engorged breasts or plugged milk ducts. It goes without saying that as a new parent you simply want the best for your child and here’s the list you can choose the best from. Haakaa Silicone Breast Pump with Suction Base Made from 100% food-grade silicone, this pump uses natural suction to express milk, offering a gentle and effective solution.

  Quick checklist a mom actually uses: Can she open the nursing bra with one hand? Does the nursing pillow help position baby, and will it stay out of the sleep area? Is she pumping occasionally (manual) or regularly (electric)? Does she have water, snacks, and a comfortable feeding spot? In the early days, a breastfeeding mom usually doesn’t need a “perfect routine.” She needs small things that make the next feed easier. A bra she can unclasp half-asleep. A pillow that saves her shoulders. A way to pump when plans change. And, just as important, the kind of care that stops her from running on empty. Here’s what tends to help most, from practical products to the quiet care pieces nobody remembers to pack. Nursing bras that feel like support, not a trap Most moms learn quickly that the wrong bra can ruin a whole day. Tight straps, digging wires, clips that need two hands, all of it becomes unbearable when you’re feeding often. What she looks for: soft fabric, easy one-handed clips, ...

  A mother doesn’t walk into parenthood knowing what a “good” Baby Stroller feels like, or why one Car seat costs double another. She learns the way most parents learn: one rushed purchase at a time, usually made at 11 pm, with a sleeping baby on her shoulder and too many tabs open. These are the five mistakes she sees parents make again and again when buying baby gear, and the little checks that save money, space, and a lot of regret. 1. Buying for the photo, not for Tuesday morning The stroller looks perfect online. Then it arrives and suddenly it’s too heavy for the lift, too wide for the hallway, or impossible to fold with one hand. The gear isn’t “bad”. It just doesn’t match real life. What she does instead: Measures the car boot and the front door (yes, really). Checks weight (if she can’t lift it calmly in a store, she won’t lift it in a parking lot) Looks for safety testing info. Strollers and prams are often tested to standards like EN 1888. 2. Falling for “newborn-only” g...
