A couple of months ago Onya Baby contacted me to ask if I would do a product review of their soft-structured baby carrier. When they told me that the carrier can also transform into a seating option on the go, I enthusiastically said- “yes, please!” When I came back home to Chicago last week and … Continue reading
My little munchkin is very interested in using the toilet. She says “poo-poo” and does the baby sign for toilet whenever she goes pee or poo in her diaper. She also loves to take her diaper off, which she can do quicker than I can these days. She then proceeds to pee on the floor … Continue reading
I am posting this link here to a blog at DeliciousBaby.com that explains the warning. A 5 month old very tragically died in the PeaPod portable bed, which an autopsy confirmed was from suffocation, not from SIDS. Although I have never used the PeaPod myself since I have co-slept with my baby since she was born, … Continue reading
There are so many reasons to breastfeed, and among them is: 1) to protect baby from disease while traveling; 2) convenience when traveling; 3) much cheaper than formula. I’ve had a successful and rewarding breastfeeding relationship with my daughter that has created a very close bond between us. We’re still going strong at 14 months. Some women … Continue reading

I cannot, for example, imagine pushing my baby through the busy sidewalk-less streets of Bombay, fighting cars and auto-rickshaws with … Continue reading

I have pumped my breasts in many unsavory places (like on top of toilet seats), and in awkward places such as riding in the back of a 4×4 surrounded by work colleagues on unpaved dirt roads. I’m committed to breastfeeding, or at least supply my milk if I can’t be there for baby. I’ve pumped … Continue reading
Bringing a crib along for baby while traveling is something that we have tried, but that we no longer do. We try to minimize our luggage and stuff that we bring along with us, especially when we are flying. Especially when we travel internationally, we are often only allowed one 23kg (50 pounds) bag for … Continue reading
I never leave home without a reliable point-and-shoot camera in the diaper bag with us. The few times I have forgotten it, I’ve kicked myself for missing some true Kodak moments (which is why I now own two cameras). I am photographer that owns a heavy duty Nikon with all the dressings, and still use … Continue reading
A car seat is not required on any airplane, although you may opt to bring one (or a child restraint system for an older child) on the plane if you purchase a seat for a child under two, or are traveling with a child over the age of 2 that may benefit from being in … Continue reading
