I have a confession to make: I used a grocery cart cover obsessively with my first child. Now that that's out of the way, I have another confession to make: I never used one with my second kid. And with my third? Not a chance. But the ge…
Though I've always been a cloth-diaperer at heart, I use my share of disposables, too. So when CMP fave The Honest Company launched last year, I was so very jealous of the gorgeous diaper prints available because I can't get them up in C…
I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy shopping. Because, uh, I do. But a brand-new partnership between two very green sites, Vine.com and Healthy Child Healthy World, has me even more giddy about my shopping habit. And with a nice little…
Finding the right diaper for your new baby can be just as difficult as finding the right jeans for your post-partum body. Without naming names, I can still remember the popular brand of diaper that caused volcanic leakage that ruined my …
The best diaper pail is the kind of topic that inspires some raging debates on mom message boards. They're essential. They're a waste of money. They're too expensive. I couldn't live without it . So what's a first-time mama to do? My adv…
Editor's note: Due to a few technical difficulties, the store will be running by end of May for individual purchases . I always love finding more choices for safe, non-toxic baby products for my family, which is exactly why I was so exci…
It always scares me when I see a laundry list of unpronounceable ingredients on my baby's personal care packages. Especially when said product is a diaper wipe, meant to touch the delicate nether regions of my little one. Thankfully, the…
Once upon a time, in the land of cloth diapering, there was a great diapering secret that somehow remained elusive to many parents: the overnight technique. Finding what will work for your particular baby in his particular sleeping arran…
I love cloth diapers -- they're cute, they're eco-conscious , and they prevent a traumatic gelsplosion from an accidental disposable in the washing machine. But with most of the pocket diapers I favor clocking in at $19.95 each (or more!…
I am addicted to cool organizing products. That's not to say that I'm the most organized person out there--that would be my sister-in-law and she is a goddess. (But not the Charlie Sheen kind. Ew.) I just like fun boxes and containers wh…
Okay, I may get a lot of flack for saying this, but when it comes to cloth diapering, I think the cute factor matters. Yes, I choose cloth for a number of less, um, superficial reasons-- good for the environment , good for my babies' ski…
The only thing more adorable than a cute baby bottom in a cloth diaper is saying "Charlie Banana" whenever someone asks you where the diaper came from. Cloth is making a comeback, mainly because it's good for the environment and cuter th…
The time has arrived that I have to think about changing diapers again. Diapers. I'd kind of forgotten about that part of having a new baby. Lucky for me, though, there's a nifty new change mat in town that will make it easy for me to do…
Forget the cute baby bloomers, mamas. It looks like diapers are this year's fashion statement, with the Huggies denim diapers introduction recently, and now, Pampers' stylish new entry: Designs from none other than fashion guru and mom C…
You've got some organic spaghetti on your face, honey. Let me get that for you. (Licks thumb, scrubs face off shrieking, flailing baby.) There, isn't that better? Well, a little. I mean, the tomato sauce has been replaced by a red rash, …
If you needed any more evidence that denim is hot again, take a look at the new denim diaper cover I just spotted at babyGap. I love the dark wash with the slight fade on the bum, and that little pocket in back is too cute for words. It …
A diaper caddy isn't exactly the most essential piece in your nursery, but when you think about it, it's pretty important. You use it several times a day, for three or four years--not even my crib got that much use. So when I saw a Toron…
I can't stop reading Kirtsy Takes a Bow: A Celebration of Women's Online Favorites . And rereading it. And going back to make sure there's nothing I missed. The thing is, it's not just me. An art director friend shirked work for an hour …
With three kids and only one bag, I've taken to paring down to what I consider to be an essential? to make room for stuff I really need when I head out the door. And lately, that's meant tossing the usually hefty diaper changing pad and …
My childless co-workers are intrigued by my ability to open almost anything with one hand. I did not possess these mad skillz when I was a new mom. So while the diaper clutches from Kristi G Diaper Bags touted the "EZ-Wipe System," I was…
The cult favorite Patemm pad was one of the first products we ever featured on Cool Mom Picks, back when we all had one kid a piece and were astonishingly better rested. Since then, we've added to our own broods while Pattem has extended…
When my first daughter was born, I figured all diaper creams were pretty much created equal. I bought whatever sounded familiar, never once scanning the label for stuff like synthetic fragrances, methylparabens, or sodium borate --let al…
Considering my bag addiction, now infamous with my husband and our credit card company if not all of you, I can't believe I'm about to tell you how to avoid buying another diaper bag. Thanks to the Pishposh Mommy quick zip bag , you can …
