I recently received coupons to try YoMommy and YoBaby Yogurt, so on our latest trip to the grocery store we picked up a 4 pack of YoMommy in raspberry and blueberry flavors. I’m saving the YoBaby coupon for when Jayden is old enough to eat yogurt. As for YoMommy, it is a low fat, organic yogurt that is formulated to meet the special nutritional needs of moms and their developing babies. YoMommy is ideal for expecting and breastfeeding mothers. YoMommy is formulated with DHA, Folic Acid, and vitamin D and contains no artificial colors or sweeteners. YoMommy is available in packs of 4, with two flavors per pack: strawberry and peach; or blueberry and raspberry. Each flavor contains organic fruit pieces at the bottom!

So I bet you are wondering how YoMommy tastes. Well, YoMommy yogurt is full of flavor perhaps more flavor than ordinary yogurts. The only difference that I noticed is that YoMommy is a thinner yogurt, so it kind of drizzles off of the spoon, which isn’t a problem.

Long before learning about the baby wearing movement, I wanted to wear my “future” child. I just couldn’t picture myself doing tasks around the house without my child being by my side. I couldn’t picture myself pushing those bulky strollers while traveling either, goodness why do they still make those things anyway? Now I realize the MANY benefits of baby wearing and I want to make sure that we as a family can take full advantage of them. According to Dr. Sears, babies who are worn seem to cry less, get “humanized” earlier, learn more, and are smarter and more organized than babies who aren’t worn.

About 2 years ago I was introduced to baby slings, pouches, and mei tai’s just by randomly browsing the web. I thought these carriers were so cool and they seemed very easy to use. They are made simple, come in gorgeous fabrics, and babies and their mothers absolutely love them. I already have a Peekaboo Pouch baby sling and I am going to be purchasing quite a few slings from Slinglings. I don’t intend on purchasing any type of carrier that resembles a back pack, just for the record. Those seem to be too bulky and can cause muscle and back problems in the babies that are worn in them.

Alright baby wearing mamas it’s time for some questions. What is your favorite baby carrier and why?

Question: What has made parenting easier for you?

Summer says “Physical items that helped: A sling! Oh, hands free baby care rocks and they are so much happier and peaceful. Cosleeping. No getting up for late night feedings, just roll over lift shirt fall back asleep.

The biggest help was learning to trust my gut instead of what the “experts” say or what society thinks I’m supposed to do.”

Mommy - Two summers ago, I purchased a Peekaboo pouch on sale to add to our “baby stash” and I’m eying a few other slings. Slings are definitely must-haves. There’s no way our baby would survive in our bed as Daddy already uses me as a teddy bear! Products such as the Co-Sleeper or Amby Baby Motion Bed may be of some assistance! Oh, just rolling over and lifting up your shirt sounds really convenient, lol!

Daddy - Trusting your gut is definitely important. Everyone is unique in their own way, so what works for one person just may not work for another. That also can be applied vice versa; what doesn’t work for others just may actually work for you. Sometimes you just have to go by your gut instinct to find what works best for you and most importantly, your child.

LOL @ “just roll over lift shirt fall back asleep”! Mommy suggested co-sleeping to me for when Jayden arrives, but then she retracted the idea due to the fact that (and I quote), “You might roll over him or fart on him.” Now I’ll admit, I can get a little tossy turny while I’m sleep, but I DO NOT FLATULATE IN MY SLEEP!!!

…ok maybe I do once or twice, but Jayden won’t care!
