How to Clean the BabySafe Feeder

One of the best baby products when your baby is starting solid foods is the Baby Safe Feeder. It's a little mesh bag with a handle for your baby to hold. You can put all sorts of different foods in the mesh bag (fruit, veggies, even frozen breastmilk!), and your baby can gnaw away without you worrying about him choking.

The BabySafe Feeder is wonderful - but it can be kinda hard to clean the mesh bag. While you can buy extra bags for the BabySafe Feeder, here are some tips and tricks to keep your mesh bags a bit cleaner and help them last longer...

- As soon as your baby is finished 'eating', immediately rinse out the bags. If you have a kitchen sink sprayer, that can help.
- You can also use a soft toothbrush with a baking soda & water paste to really get into the mesh and clean out the tiny holes.
- Want to whiten your BabySafe Feeder bag? Soak it in white vinegar! You might want to do a quick water wash after the vinegar soak - the vinegar isn't harmful to your baby, but it doesn't taste that great.

How do I clean my Medela pump tubing?

We get a lot of moms coming in asking about cleaning their Medela breastpump tubing , whether for the Symphony hospital-grade rental pump , the Medela Freestyle pump or for the personal-grade Pump In Style Advanced breastpump. One thing to note, milk shouldn't normally be going into your Medela tubing when you pump. If you see milk coming back into the tubing, make sure of two things: 1. Your pumping bottles are upright while you're pumping and 2. Your valves and membranes are attached fully, and that they don't have any holes or cuts. Only air is supposed to go through the tubes. Every time after you pump, disconnect (and clean) all of your pump parts, but leave the tubing connected. Let your pump keep running for another 5-10 minutes with just the tubing connected - this will usually get rid of any little bit of milk or condensation. If you do see some milk in your tubing after letting the pump run, you can clean your tubes by: 1. Holding the tubing upright

More Milk Plus & More Milk Special Blend

Many breastfeeding moms worry about whether or not they are making enough milk for their new baby. One thing that you can do to help with improving your milk supply is to take the More Milk supplements from Motherlove . But which of the different supplements to take? First Decision - Capsules vs. Liquid Drops - Moms tend to agree that the liquid drops taste horrible! So most people do buy the capsules, for ease and convenience. - But the liquid drops are slightly more effective because the herbs are able to get into your system faster and more directly, so if you can handle the taste, you might want to buy the liquid. Second Decision - More Milk Plus vs. Special Blend - Both the More Milk Plus and the More Milk Special Blend contain fenugreek seed, blessed thistle, nettle, and fennel seed - all of which are galactagogue (or milk-increasing) herbs. The More Milk Plus works for most women whose milk supply has decreased due to growth spurts, separation, illness, or stress.

What I Resolve to do in 2018 as a Mom

We are almost a week into 2018, yet I am still editing, finalizing and procrastinating on my New Year’s Resolutions. Many have already juiced and cleansed. Some have worked out for five consecutive days. And few have vowed to never drink wine again (good for you!). While I am still ironing out the details of some of my personal resolutions e.g. more vegetables in my diet, and save money for a European vacation, (and perhaps procrastinate less!) I am pretty crystal clear on what I want to improve on in 2018 as a mother and hopefully lasting changes as an overall parent. Here are my top 4 Mom-o-lutions: I am like the paparazzi when it comes to my kids. Whether they’re scoring a soccer goal, eating ice cream, building a sand castle, making a silly face, or simply just breathing, I am constantly taking their photos. Yet, when I looked back in the last years photo reel, there were so few photos of me with my kids. And I wish I had more. Ten years from now, I want to be ab
