What You Should Know About Laundering Cloth Diapers
Most laundry detergents do not disinfect diapers or clothing except for detergents that contain chlorine bleach, hydrogen peroxide and iodine which will kill bacteria, viruses, and fungi present in the laundry but detergents without these ingredients will clean only and not disinfect. Most cloth diaper users avoid the above ingredients because they are harsh on skin and clothing.

How To Get A Personalized Framed Memento Of Your Baby With Baby Hand And Feet Sculptures
Parents invest a significant portion of their life dedicated to the health and well-being of their children. These individuals most often go to great lengths in order to capture the memories of the child as they grow, so that they’ll consistently be reminded of the incredible experiences they have had as being parents. While trying to create unique memorabilia to help you remember the youth as well as innocence of your child, seek to take benefit of the opportunities that can be found with baby hand and feet sculptures.

The Benefits of Bottle Feeding
If you want to start WWIII, get a discussion going between women who believe that breast feeding is the only “good” way to care for an infant and those who choose the bottle. There actually can be a middle ground…

Study: Longer maternity leave = more breastfeeding
File this one under Obvious.
A study in Pediatrics found that women who have longer maternity leave are more likely to initiate breastfeeding and to breastfeed longer. Medical News Today reports:
The researchers found that 74.2% of women who had at least 13 weeks of complete maternity leave started their babies on breast milk, compared to 64.6% of those whose maternity leave was between 1 to 6 weeks.
The women with longer maternity leave had the highest proportion of babies still being breastfed when they were three months old, the authors added, while those who only had 1 to 6 weeks off work had the lowest proportions.
Women are entitled to 12 weeks unpaid leave after giving birth, according to the US Family Leave and Medical Act. However, a huge number of mothers are affected by businesses that are exempt from this legislation. Any business with fewer than 50 employees only has to offer this benefit to females who worked 1,250 hours or more over the last twelve months. California, New York, Rhode Island and New Jersey are the only US states that offer more than the federal law does.
Compare this to Sweden, where a mother gets 16 months maternity leave at 80% pay. Japan offers 14 weeks at 66% pay, while Canadian law insists on 17 weeks at 55% of the worker's salary. American law does not require the employer to pay anything.
Moms Rising has been advocating for paid family leave and to strenghthen unpaid family leave for some time. Check out their page on family leave.

Stop BFing when DD is teething??
I’m just wondering how some of you dealt with the pain after the kiddo gets their first tooth. My DD is almost 5 months and has both her bottom teeth. Since she got them it’s been so painful to nurse I’m debating weaning her. I wanted to BF until she was at least 6 months old or longer.

New podcast: Breastfeeding in Combat Boots
I have a new podcast interview on the Motherlove Blog to share. It's an interview with Robyn Roche-Paul, author of Breastfeeding in Combat Boots.
Robyn is a US Navy veteran who breastfed while serving on active duty as an aircraft mechanic, and is a lactation consultant and La Leche League leader. Her work focuses on helping mothers on active duty continue to breastfeed after returning to work. You can find more information about breastfeeding while in the military at her website and Facebook page. Robyn wrote a guest post for this blog a little while back.
I spoke with Robyn about special challenges mothers in the military face when it comes to breastfeeding, stories of mothers making it work under challenging circumstances, policies that impact mothers ability to breastfeed while in the service, and some practical advice for preparing to pump at work.
You can listen to the podcast with the player on the Motherlove Blog, download it and listen with Quicktime, or get it at Motherlove's free iTunes store.
