Keep your baby in the dark. Literally.

by Stephanie Slate | Baby

7 two-piece bathing suits that don’t make little girls look like teenage girls

by Cool Mom Team | Kid Style

I’ll say it: the bathing suit choices for little girls are abhorrent these days–teeny string bikinis, plunging v-necks, high cut briefs, ruching at the “cleavage” presumably to create more of it. It’s making me crazy. To say nothing of a...

Baby sunscreen lotion grows up a little bit

by Cool Mom Team | Baby

I had a May baby and a July baby and as such, I still remember those panicky early days of taking the baby out into the (gasp) sun. I don’t think I could have had enough muslin swaddling blankets and floppy brimmed sunhats to put me at ease. So I love that there...
