Have you every been on a trip with your little one and wondered if there was an easier, safer, or more practical way to travel with your little one. Well BabySafeTravel.com is a website design to help you with your baby travel experiences and yes they can help make your trip easier, safer, and more practical.
The stroy goes that the whole site started over a bad experience at a specific hotel hotel chain. The website owners took their baby with them on one of their business trips. They brought all of the essentials and wanted to use the hotels “crib” or “pack n play” for their baby to sleep in (Can we all say bad idea here). The hotel brought up a very trashy bed for their baby. The mother then I called the front desk to requested another more suitable play-yard, and the staff brought up yet another even worse bed.
Anyway I don’t want to keep boring you so go check it out over at BabySafeTravel.com.

You know when your baby is first born you hold them and look at them and are just in “aw” of them. That doesn’t change as they grow older. I still find myself just staring at my son being in “aw” of him at six months old. As they begin to grow, as a mom, you notice the slightest change. It’s amazing to watch them and just wonder what are they thinking. They look so intently at objects, absorbing all information possible, and their eyes tell a story.

Every mother is a working mother, whether it be in and out of the home or just in the home. I wonder if it’s easier to have a set routine if you are a stay-at -home mom, or since life can get so hectic working out of the home is it essential to have that routine down. Either way having a set routine is difficult to figure out. I am trying to get on a regular schedule so my son can begin to learn what to expect as the day goes on. For now I am a stay-at-home mom but I will be having to work part-time soon so I am trying to get him on a schedule that works for him now. But once I return to work somewhere I don’t want his routine messed up. I know children adjust better than we think they do, so I really don’t know what I am worried about. I think it’s more of the fact that I have been fortunate enough to spend all six months of his life with him and I am a little uncomfortable leaving him for long periods of time. My frets are probably just apart of what I call “first time mom syndrome”.

When you first bring your baby home from the hospital you sit in the back seat with them and watch over them. They normally sleep the whole way home, so you are on edge for no reason. You worry about if they are in their seat correctly, if they will cry the whole way home, different things cross your mind. For the first few weeks, or maybe even months, you sit in the back with your baby, just so you can keep an eye on them. Well, have you ever wondered if this is why when you finally move back to the front seat your baby cries the whole time they are in the car? I experienced this for about two months. My son was fine in his car seat when he was first born and even up to about three months old. But, then after four months he just cried every time we went somewhere and I was sitting in the front seat again, instead of in the back with him. He got used to seeing my face and me talking to him on car rides that when I started sitting in the front seat again he got upset. He would sometimes literally cry until (a) we got to where we were going or (b) I got in the backseat with him.

Even as a mom we all have our days when we are sick, feel under the weather, or are just plain worn out. Have you ever noticed on those days your baby or child doesn’t want to take a nap, or if he/she does it’s those ten and twenty minute cat naps. It seems just as you get them to sleep and lay them down and then you yourself get layed back in the recliner, or even in the bed, your child goes to crying for one reason or another. So, then you are back up and you are either a)giving them back their passy so they will go back to sleep, or b)getting them up and kissing your little window of rest goodbye. Read more …
