Wouldn’t it be nice to know whether your spirited, high need or ‘difficult’ baby will outgrow this behaviour later in life? Well one of our moms recently passed on this article to me, and I know many of you will appreciate it. Click here to read Difficult Babies Can Turn into Super Kids. Keep [...]
My husband and I have a by-the-book high-need baby who cried a lot in his first 8 months of life. Our son, our first baby, cried (and screamed) more often than not in the beginning, but he cried every so slightly less and less as time went on. His cries developed into his own cry-language [...]

This post brought to you by Comfort and Harmony. All opinions are 100% mine. As mom to a fussy or colicky baby, there’s a good chance you frequently dread feeding time. While other babies are calmed by nursing or bottle-feeding, fussy babies often fuss even more while feeding, and may bounce on and off [...]
I keep trying to write this post, and keep deleting it. In fact, I started to write this post over a year ago. This time I’m determined to actually publish it! Here’s why: This post is about….sleep training (gasp!). People are so incredibly polarized on this issue, and I can completely understand why. I get [...]
I’ll admit it. When my kids were teething, I went straight for the Tylenol. Maybe I should have been more hesitant when it came to giving medication*, but I figured both my babies were fussy at the best of times, and I was shooting for instant gratification (well, instant relief). But I know many of [...]
Do any of the following sound familiar? Your little one: Seems unable to soothe himself to sleep: This means that up until now, you may have needed to rock, nurse, pat, or swing your baby to sleep. Takes short naps: When you do manage to get her to nap, she wakes up after 20-45 minutes and won’t [...]
Unfortunately there’s no ‘one size fits all’ answer to this question, but there are some definite patterns. I know when your baby is up yet again partying at 3am, or your toddler is having his 3rd (or 5th, or 10th) tantrum of the day, you need some good news to hold onto. So I thought [...]

I thought I’d share this little diddy from when Sammy was about 3 years old. I was trying to get him into the routine of hanging his jacket up on his hook every time we came in from being outside. I was determined that this wasn’t too much to ask of him, and I told [...]
My husband I decided we were open to the idea of having a child of our own after a trip to the Shedd Aquarium with our three year old niece. She had a wonderful time looking at the fish, waited patiently in every single line, and ate primly at the Aquarium’s cafeteria. Not even a [...]
