Teeth are for Chewing

Here we are at 14 months and my little one still does not weigh enough to turn her car seat to face the front, and YES, we do feed her. My little one is just long and thin, no matter how much she eats she gains very little weight her stomach swells up for about an hour. After running around playing... 

No itching after One

When my daughter was about three months old she started to break out with eczema on her arms, legs and stomach. Prior to my daughter I had never seen eczema, only knew the term. It did not take very long at all to figure out what the small bumps were constantly appearing. Before my daughter’s pediatrician... 

I’ve had all I can take

As an OCD Mom I constantly raid the fridge and medicine cabinets for expired goods. Anything remotely close to its due date get tossed. Now that my little one is fairly mobile she loves to play in the restroom, germ central. She spends most of her time pulling items of the cabinets. Last week she got... 

May I have my bed back

Sometime early this year one of my first post on Noir Mommies was “Sleeping the Nite Away” I wrote this article because I would hear so many stories of parents having a hard time getting their little ones a sleeping schedule. And me being the proud parent I am, just had to share my story and method...

Bye Bye Bottle

We are 10 months now and I am strategizing on the method on how to get rid of the bottle. I am certain I do want to toss the bottle around the age of one. Most pediatricians suggest children should be weaned off the bottle at one year old. Benefits to weaning: • Children using bottles are more likely... 

First Bout Defeat

My first bout and I am defeated. I am not defeated because I was unprepared. I was not mentally ready for this fight and it did not help that I was under the weather. I started preparing well in advance. Long before my daughter arrived, I purchased plenty of first aid and medicine kits for the just... 

Mystery Jar

What is in the baby food? Can you even pronounce the items listed on the back of the jar less known understanding what they are. I really do not think I want to purchase and eat many items that are good for two years after I purchase them. Most food items are not suppose to last for two years. Who knows... 

Now that I have Teeth

After the months of continuous drool finally, there are teeth! Early in the teething process the cotton bibs were getting so wet it was best to switch to the bibs with the plastic back.

Chronicles of Potty Training

Potty training for me was the last step on my milestone list… I figured if I could get through the potty  training then, I was home free. They say boys are harder to train than girls, but I beg to differ. My son,  who is now 14 was very easy. The moment he turned 2, I said to myself and him,...
