What It Costs to Turn Your Baby Into A Genius

Many new parents can easily get suckered into thinking that if they don’t start their child in a music class by 5 months of age, she will already be behind all the other babies. Sure, it may sound crazy, but conscientious parents are just listening to claims such as “music helps brain development!” Speaking from experience however, walk into any music class for babies and notice lots of happy little ones lying on their backs, cooing to their mothers and/or fathers and occasionally shaking maracas off beat when they aren’t trying to suck on them to help with teething – little Albert Einsteins in the making!

What signing up for classes with your baby WILL do, is get you out of the house – a regularly scheduled and paid for class could be the extra motivation you need—and interacting with other parents. A little adult conversation will likely boost your spirits and in the end help you be better suited to give your child the love she needs. However, if you want to believe that it will also boost brain power versus just more drumstick-sucking-drool, here’s what it’s going to cost you.

When Motherhood is a Pain in the Back: 3 Exercises to Help

May 11, 2009 By Chelsea 5 Comments

opposite_arm_leg Got that certain ache in your lower back that arrived along with your baby? Cindy Furey of Comprehensive Therapy Services, Inc., gave Breezy Mama the low down as to why we moms get it, what to do to prevent it and exercises to ease the discomfort.

Why We Get It
“Mommy Back” occurs for a number of reasons. The most prevalent reason is the change in our posture during our pregnancy that usually doesn’t return to our previous level postural alignment unless we really work at it. Our head tends to lurch forward, our shoulders round forward as our thoracic spine leans back to compensate for the pelvis (and baby) shifting forward and under. This posture causes more compression on the lower part of our spine. Our back muscles try to kick in to help stabilize the spine because [Read more…] about When Motherhood is a Pain in the Back: 3 Exercises to Help

Why you need Oxi Clean

March 31, 2009 By Alex 6 Comments

oxi-cleanSimply put, Oxi Clean rules. Seriously. When my son was a baby, I didn’t know about the magic of the detergent, and thus, 90% of his onesies had a nice yellow stain on the back. Then, one day, I was educated. I was complaining to a friend about how baby poop stains, she simply said, “Go get some Oxi.” I did, and have never looked back. I keep a tub mixed with water and Oxi in the laundry room and whatever gets stained gets thrown in (make sure to keep whites and colors separate) to soak until laundry day. The entire tub then gets chucked in the washer. Stains? Gone. Completely. Now that my son is three, his grass, ice cream, blood, mud—you name the stain—item goes in, along with the baby’s—yep you guessed it—poopy onesies.
