Babyproofing experts recommend putting a faucet cover over the bathtub spout to protect your baby’s head from bumps and burns.

Pump It Up!
As a breastfeeding mom, I’m really attached to my baby in the literal sense. Newborns need to eat frequently, with some “dining at mom’s” every two hours or so. If you want to breastfeed and go back to work, go out on a child-free date with your husband, or just have someone else take one […]
