In Breastfeeding Jaundice, pediatrician or parent will start seeing the yellowness 3rd or 4th day the baby is born.  Usually that may mean the baby is not getting enough milk or nutrient to get rid of the bilirubin.  With more ... http://activityassistant.com/baby/blogs/?p=273 Ok, ok, ok, we all know that Breastfeeding is the best for the baby, nutritional/health wise.  So, forget about talking it's health benefits.  Let's talk about convenience!

Did I attend BF class?  Nope. Did I buy BF books?  Nope. I only have the What to Expect When You're Expecting by Heidi Murkoff.  I did read as many free pamphlet as I can get my hands on ... http://activityassistant.com/baby/blogs/?p=272 A few days ago, my Koala was folding a paper and screamed, "Dad, Dad!  Make me a boat!" I said to her, "Daddy is busy.  When he's done, then he will make you a boat."  I thought, "Hmm... Hubby must have made a boat for her last night." Koala replied, "Mommy makes ... http://activityassistant.com/baby/blogs/?p=271 Koala recently started preschool.  It was a big success!  She doesn't even know any English and she went through the first day like a breeze.

I wonder if the book I ... http://activityassistant.com/baby/blogs/?p=270 Do you believe in palm reading?  It's reading lines on your palm to "predict" your future.  I "sort of" believe in it.  My scientific reason is that depending on what you have done in your life, the future is predictable... since what you do with your life is with your ... http://activityassistant.com/baby/blogs/?p=269 I owe an apology to Huggie.  Actually, it didn't really leak.  It was just that Baby Roo grew out of the Huggie Newborn diapers in fewer than 5 days.  We didn't finish even finish the first package of Huggie Newborn diapers (72 count).  We are now using the first package ... http://activityassistant.com/baby/blogs/?p=268 Baby Roo is Born! Both Baby Roo and I are healthy.  Baby Roo eats and sleeps well.  I try to eat and sleep well.  =) Quick info: this labor and delivery went a lot smoother and "faster" than the one with Baby Koala.  Breastfeeding is going pretty well.  Hopefully it will be ... http://activityassistant.com/baby/blogs/?p=267 Wow, has it been a week already that I haven't posted?  Sorry!  I can't really blame myself for being busy as I'm not really busy.  However, as you know, we co-sleep.  Usually, even when we co-sleep, Koala sleeps on her side of the king-size bed and I sleep on my ... http://activityassistant.com/baby/blogs/?p=266 I read an article about the Tea Parties that are happening around the country.  I still don't know the details but commenting on a general remark: I disagree with tax increase to bail out banks and other companies who had bad businesses.  The banks should know better than to give ... http://activityassistant.com/baby/blogs/?p=264
