Babies cry. That's a fact of life. How much we let them cry, that's a fact of parenting, and it's easily one of the most confusing, emotional, and even divisive issues new parents face. One parent may insist it's a no-brainer: If baby is crying, you do what you can to comfort and console. Another may argue that if you are always at baby's beck and call, life will never get back to "normal."

So, you're thinking about introducing your baby to the world of fine dining (or at least fine baby food). Starting solid foods isn't as easy, however, as setting down a plate. You'll be playing waiter to a whole new world of foods. At any good restaurant, a waiter listens to the messages his guest is sending, and it's the same for your baby. By following a few easy steps, you can make sure that your baby's first solid meals are four star experiences.

If you think dating as a single is complicated, you’re about to enter the realm of dating a single parent. They say it’s a different case altogether if you’re both single parents, but you are (fortunately or unfortunately?) not one. Still, for the longest time, you’ve made it one of your rules to date someone who’s a single SINGLE, not one who comes with a kid, a bike, and a pet goldfish.

With each day, your partner's belly gets larger and your baby continues to grow... that means that the clock is ticking.  Take advantage of this time to romance each other and relish in the fact that it's just the two of you.  After the baby arrives, life will be a little (a lot) hectic and romance (including sex) will be the last thing on your mind.
