Hi. My name is Nancy. I am a nurse by profession and a writer by passion and ever since I became a mother, I’ve become very active in sharing useful and important information about basically anything under the sun and a full-time mother to a 21-month old boy. Read more about me here.
Here’s a joke nursing mums can relate to, those who say "there’s no use crying over spilt milk" have obviously never breastfed. Especially because there are mothers with insufficient supply, it’s heartbreaking when our liquid gold gets wasted.
So it’s important to choose the best breast milk storage bags so you won’t end up pumping and dumping.
For growing families or couples with multiple kids on the way, a regular stroller is never enough. Whether you’re traveling or buying groceries, you need only the best double strollers for infant and toddler because let’s face it; you won’t be using it for just a few months.
You want something that will grow with your little ones.
Daycares have become a real life-saver for parents. Whether you need to go back to work, have a business to take care of or if you just want to reap the benefits (socialization, for one) of sending your kids to daycare; it has become a popular choice nowadays.
But what if you’re moving to another town? Or you need someplace that’s nearer your home? It’s not exactly a SOP but rather, an unspoken etiquette to leave a gift for daycare provider when leaving.
After all, they’ve helped you in more ways than one. At least, that’s what I felt!
As a self-confessed bookworm, one of the things I wished for when I was pregnant was for my little one to love reading books too. So I religiously read to my then-infant anything from fairy tales to famous children’s stories.
When my baby boy turned six months old, I bought him some cloth and board books. But as expected, he had more appreciation for those with photos, drawings and colourful images than the ones with letters. That’s normal.
And I know all of you are wondering as well: when do kids learn letters? When do they even start to recognise them?
Right now, you should also visit this article about other milestone in the development of children as: when should babies start playing with toys?

I swear by breastfeeding, and as much as possible, I try to be an advocate for new and expectant mothers.
However, I’d like to emphasize that though this is my advocacy, I have long made it a point to avoid judging the choices of other parents.
Whether you opted for formula-feeding and why – those are none of my business. So this article won’t be about starting an argument between mothers.
Instead, I’d only be tackling the benefits of breastfeeding by month and other topics related to it – usual problems encountered, prepping, pumping, etc.
