  • Baby diaper options- Biodegradable Composting Diaper Service

    In response to the cloth diaper quandary, probably the best option out there is a biodegradable diaper composting service called Earth Baby. They work much like a cloth diaper service, but use biodegradable diapers and wipes. Now here is the best part... they collect the dirty diapers and compost them in a industrial facility completing the link ...

  • Cloth Diapers are NOT hard!

    How much time do parents spend shopping for disposible diapers each week? I would be making a separate trip to Target or Walmart to shop for sposies, and on the way I would probably buy an additional $20 worth of stuff I didn't really need anyway. Yes, cloth diapers take a few minutes a week to wash, but I would rather spend my time in the laundry ...

  • Breast Feeding = Higher IQ?

    IIn my opinion, Breast Feeding Cy opinion breast feeding CAN be a way to increase IQ. But it is only ONE way. And if Breast Feeding is the ONLY good thing a baby experiences, breast-feeding will probably help only minimally....if at all. I mean.....was Nero breast-fed? Probably. Was Caligula or Ivan the Terrible? Yes, there too. Bottle ...

  • An "inconvenient idiot"

    Very very long but..... worth the read.... -when you have time of course- ''you are blind, you are stupid, you are in the dark, in the mist and fog, wandering to and fro like a boat upon the water without sail, rudder or oar; you know not whither you are going.'' ...

  • Get real

    Ah, the newest status symbol - a baby's bare bottom. Shall we call it the ''plastic diaper backlash?'' For something that is such a natural progression, overindulgent parents now find it necessary to obsess over elimination. It sounds like the parents are the ones who are getting trained here. I'm all for breastfeeding in Lady's lounges (I ...

  • Kill Idealism While They're Young

    While I hate eco-snobs, the scene in which the kids are told to hush in the face of people shampooing in a stream made me sad. The kids had a legitimate point, and it feels that the reason to ''let them be'' was not out of a libertarian ideal but a fear of making a scene. I know because I go through it, too. It used to be a little voice inside ...
