Wherever you change your baby's diaper, at a changing table, on the crib mattress, on the bed, on the carpet, it just gets messy and dirty. Especially, with boys, who tend to squirt as soon as you open their diapers. In these cases plastic changing pads or fabric protectors aren't very practical either. I started using the "disposable bed … [Read more...]

My experience with epidural
I am writing this post to share my experience with you. These are the things "I wish I had known before my delivery". But obviously, you don't know what you don't know.

Creating your birth plan
As an expecting mother, you should be aware (and accepting) that nothing might go as planned during pregnancy, delivery, as well as after baby’s birth.
