			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For parents concerned about using a <a href="http://www.lonestarbaby.com/categories/baby-bedding/crib-bumpers.html">baby bumper</a> in the crib, but still want the added decor a bumper can add to a crib or nursery, <a href="http://www.lonestarbaby.com/shop-by-brand/n-selby-designs.html">N Selby Designs</a>, <a href="http://www.lonestarbaby.com/shop-by-brand/skip-hop.html">Skip Hop</a>, and <a href="http://www.lonestarbaby.com/shop-by-brand/breathable-baby.html">Breathable Baby</a> have some great alternatives to traditional bumper pads.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lonestarbaby.com/swaddleme-large-ivory-microfleece.html">Breathable Baby Bumpers</a> reduce the risk of suffocation, entanglement, and climbing. Their exclusive fabric with Air Channel Technology promotes airflow and helps maintain air access. Soft and padded, they keep little limbs safely inside the crib. Available in <a href="http://www.lonestarbaby.com/swaddleme-large-pink-microfleece.html">Chocolate</a>, <a href="http://www.lonestarbaby.com/swaddleme-large-ivory-microfleece.html">Sage</a>, &amp; <a href="http://www.lonestarbaby.com/swaddleme-large-yellow-microfleece.html">White</a>, with a satin trim finish, these bumpers are breathable and beautiful.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.lonestarbaby.com/shop-by-brand/skip-hop.html">Skip Hop</a> Complete Sheet Four Piece Sets are bumper free, but provide all the style of a traditional crib set.  The &#8220;engineered&#8221; sheet offers bold graphics around the sides of the mattress with a contrasting pattern on top of the sheet. Fun, safe, and fashion forward, these modern sets are available in <a href="http://www.lonestarbaby.com/mod-dot-complete-sheet-4-pc-set-skip-hop.html">Mod Dot</a>, <a href="http://www.lonestarbaby.com/treetop-friends-complete-sheet-4-pc-set-skip-hop.html">Treetop Friends</a>, and <a href="http://www.lonestarbaby.com/alphabet-zoo-complete-sheet-4-pc-set-skip-hop.html">Alphabet Zoo</a>.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.lonestarbaby.com/hottsie-dottsie-front-cover-up-n-selby-designs.html">N. Selby Designs Front Cover Ups</a> are both functional and beautifully designed. What a great idea! This<a href="http://www.lonestarbaby.com/raspberry-dot-front-cover-up-n-selby-designs.html"> front rail cover up</a> protects the foot board on the convertible cribs that turn into beds, and it looks great!  For parents choosing not to use a bumper pad, it adds the needed decor lost when the bumper is removed.  Or if you do plan to use a bumper, the<a href="http://www.lonestarbaby.com/zumba-front-cover-up-n-selby-designs.html"> front cover up</a> can still be used.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My 13 month old son &#8220;Sweet Feet&#8221; took his first steps this weekend! Our oldest son didn&#8217;t start to walk until he was almost 15 months old, so we were very surprised, and probably more excited than we should have been.</p>
<p>First he took two steps towards his brother, and I thought &#8220;Wow, that was pretty neat.&#8221; Then later, he took four steps towards the dog, and my excitement started to grow.  By the end of the night he was taking seven steps or more, before happily falling flat on his face with his family clapping and cheering him on.  He was beaming with excitement and loving being the center of attention. Sure wish I had thought about getting the camera to record this happy moment! Oopsy.</p>
<p>Can you tell us about some of your baby&#8217;s first moments that you wish you had caught on camera?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After my son was born, the doctor recommended that I pump after feeding to keep up my milk supply, but this sent my breastmilk production into overdrive.  I was exhausted from taking care of a newborn, recovering from surgery, from nursing, and now losing extra sleep by pumping after nursing my baby, instead of dropping off into a sweet, sweet slumber.   Also, I kept getting blocked milk ducts, which was very painful, and even though the maternity bras I purchased had no under-wire, I had to stop wearing them to avoid more blocked ducts.  It wasn&#8217;t until I stopped pumping after nursing that these symptoms went away.  I ended up throwing away two large garbage bags full of frozen breast milk when all was said and done. What a waste!</p>
<p>After the birth of my second son, I did not pump at all after nursing, and was lucky that my milk supply was still sufficient.  My second son was a big boy, and the doctors had actually lectured that I was nursing too much.  However, if my milk supply had been low, I would have wanted to try Fenugreek first, before pumping after each nursing session and experiencing the same problems I had before.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">All About Fenugreek:</span></p>
<p>Low milk supply is a common problem among nursing mothers &#8211; in fact, more women cite low supply as the reason for discontinuing breastfeeding than any other challenge. There are many ways to boost your milk supply, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>breastfeed often &#8211; the more your baby nurses, the more milk you will produce.</li>
<li>add a pumping session in between feedings.</li>
<li>when pumping, continue to pump for 2 minutes after the last drop of milk.</li>
<li>check that your baby is latching properly</li>
<li>seek lactation support</li>
</ul>
<p>In addition to these methods, some mothers try a popular natural remedy to increase milk supply: fenugreek. But what is it, really?</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what you should know&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">What is it?</span></p>
<p>Fenugreek is an herb that stimulates breastmilk flow.  For centuries, it has been used by women throughout the world as a remedy for low milk supply.  The herb also fortifies breastmilk with additonal vitamins, including calcium, iron, and vitamins C, A, B1, B2, B3, and D.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">How do I take it?</span></p>
<p>Fenugreek is available in two main forms:</p>
<p>Capsules: This is the recommended form of fenugreek, as it is considered stronger than the tea.  Most brands come in  580-610 mg capsules, and are dosed in two to three capsules taken orally two to three times a day.</p>
<p>Teas: Fenugreek can come in tea form, or as an ingredient in teas designed especially for nursing mothers.  Because it is less poten than the capsules, generally three to four cups are needed every day &#8211; possibly even more.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Does it really work?</span></p>
<p>There is currently no scientific data to substantiate these claims.  Even so, many health care practitioners recommend fenugreek to nursing mothers, and have subsequently reported success.  According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), all parts of fenugreek are generally considered safe.   However, there are exceptions.  Women with certain conditions, including asthma, or women who are pregnant should not take fenugreek.  Talk to your lactation consultant or health care practitioner before using fenugreek to increase your milk supply.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Are there any side-effects?</span></p>
<p>As with most supplements, there are possible side-effects that may accompany use of fenugreek.  It may cause a maple-syrup odor in a mother&#8217;s or baby&#8217;s sweat and/or urine.  It can have effects such as lowering blood sugar and may cause allergy in some sensitive people with a history of asthma.  Diabetic or asthmatic or allergic mothers should consult health care providers before using fenugreek.  Use of this herb may also cause diarrhea.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br />
