How to Clean Your Doona – The Baby Cubby
Before having kids, I didn’t think much about choosing a car seat that had easily removable and washable fabrics. But soon after having my baby, I realized just how important it really is. My daughter was a frequent spitter, leaving the harness and fabrics smelling sour. And of course, there were several times when she decided to fill her diaper beyond the max, requiring quick removal and a deep clean! Babies don’t mean to be messy, but the leaks and spitting are inevitable! That’s why it’s important to know how to quickly remove and clean the lining of your infant car seat, so that you can keep your car seat…

How to Strengthen Your Pelvic Floor After Having Kids – The Baby Cubby
Until having kids, I didn’t know much about the pelvic floor muscles. You hear all the time how important it is to exercise and strengthen all the muscles in your body, but when do you ever hear about the pelvic floor being part of that?

How could something so simple make a difference? Well, after having my…

Thankfully, I had great nurses to assist me, but it was at this time and the weeks following that I realized…
