Look Cool in a Nursing Cover

Now that both of us are nursing again at Just the Facts, Baby, we remember what it's like to want to be out there–without actually being "out there," if you know what we mean. Thanks to Small Potatoes Nursing Covers, new moms like us have the freedom to head out on the town without worrying about baring all during a breastfeeding session. Lightweight, stylish and versatile (you can choose which side you want the adjustable neck strap clasp to be on, whether you're left- or right-handed), these 100-percent cotton nursing covers even have a terry cloth corner for quick cleanups. There's also a stiff upper hem so you can keep an eye on your baby while she nurses. Check out all the gorgeous prints (and other great mom and baby gear) at small-potatoes.ca.

All-Natural Hemp Baby Sling

With three kids (and another on the way) at Just the Facts, Baby, we know how much moms need to multitask-and being hands-free really helps. That's why we were thrilled to discover new, eco-friendly slings from Hemp Couture. Lightweight and comfortable to wear, they let you keep your little one close and still get stuff done. The fact they're "ring" slings means they're versatile and can be adjusted to fit both you and your baby from birth to 35lbs. But, the best part is that these slings are sustainable and are handmade with strong hemp outer shells and soft, organic cotton lining. Hemp is naturally resistant to mould, mildew and ultraviolet light, making Hemp Couture slings ideal all-weather baby gear. hempcouture.ca

A New Approach to Discipline

As parents of two-year-old boys, we've discovered our little guys definitely have minds of their own. A good thing, but when it comes to discipline...well, we've tried it all: asking nicely, promising rewards, begging, threatening–all to no avail. Which is why we're eternally grateful to Honey, I Wrecked the Kids (Wiley, 2009) by psychotherapist and parenting expert Alyson Schafer. If you're at your wits' end, we highly recommend trying the respectful, "democratic parenting" approach Schafer explores in her book. Her tone is light, friendly and accessible and she not only explains the reasons behind the behaviours your family may be struggling with, but gives you all the tools you need to solve the problem–guaranteed to restore harmony and foster healthy family relationships. www.alyson.ca
