Growing up in the '70s and '80s, sudden infant death syndrome was the boogieman in the closet--nobody knew why some babies just died in the night, nobody knew how to prevent it. It was terrifying, but people had to live with. Now it looks like we may be near the end of SIDS, as a new study has shown that merely placing a fan in the room of a sleeping infant can cut the risk of SIDS by 72%.

My daughter is 3 months and a couple of weeks. Up until now she has been a very easy baby, but about a week ago she started to not let me put her down in her infant seat or swing, no where without horribly crying. I've tried letting her cry it out but she just works herself up more and more... I don't know what is wrong with her or maybe she is just going through a phase. Anyone have the same problem??? Got any advice??? Thank you :)

Before I was a mom, I used to pride myself on wearing designer labels, or at least looking 'put together'. But there is no way I'm allowing spit-up all over my expensive clothes, or wearing Jimmy Choos to the playground. So, yes, I wore the 'mommy uniform' of Old Navy sweats and tees. My childless friends didn't understand the shift. Truth be told, it didn't matter what I wore the first year. I could walk into Target naked and people would only notice the baby. I can't tell you how many times I was tempted to test that theory! How has your wardrobe changed since becoming a mom?

You've seen this diaper commercial, no doubt. It never fails to crack me up. This woman takes a brick out of her baby Bjorn and slides it down the slide. THUD it lands in the dirt below. Then she puts it on one of those horse-on-a-spring toys and, THUD it lands in the dirt. She doesn't even TRY to catch her brick-baby from falling off these things! Then she puts it on one side of the see-saw, plants her rear on the other side, and brick-baby goes flying to the treetops. Read more »
