I speak from experience. I'm sure my mother didn't have her sights set on making me a fat kid. It just happened because my parents didn't set an example when it came to eating healthy foods and getting lots of exercise. That's the thing about a lot of mothers---they prepare unhealthy meals, never encourage regular ...
Eva Ottosson of Nottingham, England, waved goodbye to her baby-bearing years a while ago. Her daughter, Sara, cannot have children because of a serious birth defect that left her without a womb. Long story short, they're about to do the first human womb transplant ever! Mom Eva is giving her daughter her womb so she ...
Quite a feat for a fetus! Why not let your unborn baby name itself for only $.99! That's right! A new i-Phone app called "Kick to Pick" lets baby choose its own name through those startling, in-utero kicks mothers adore---unless, of course, baby is a budding place kicker for the Denver Broncos. While I can't imagine ...
Have you ever looked at an infant and wondered what's going on inside that very young mind? I have, and according to a recent study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, I've grossly underestimated the brain activity of babies. The article I read, Babies Are Capable of Complex Reasoning, Study Says, was a real eye-opener. Here ...

Researcher Lahiru Handunnetthi found "an excess of anorexia births in the spring months compared to the general population." Other disorders that are linked to spring birth are schizophrenia, multiple ...
Okay. I admit it's a bit premature to start yakking about the children the soon-to-be-wed (Friday, actually!) royal couple will surely be expecting in the next few years. But this is a blog about babies, so---what else would you expect? I just wanted to take the opportunity to congratulate Prince William and Kate Middleton, and to ...
When I show you the photos in just a moment, you'll realize the designation "Parents of the Year" is dripping with sarcasm. I can't imagine anything worse than seeing one of these photos and recognizing the baby or parents--unless, of course, it's you in the photo. Face it--Big Brother is alive and well and has ...
Makes sense, of course. She and her husband, David Bugliari are both Italian, so the last name is a given. But they've narrowed down their choices for a first name for their boy-to-be to three, and according to Alyssa, "We’ll go with a slightly Italian name, so that it goes with Bugliari. So it’s ...
It's a good thing babies have egos as small as their pinkies, because they're at a very vulnerable time in the development of their personal sense of style.
