Series Intro - Feeding Baby

Next up is our "What to feed baby" series.

What to feed baby can be a VERY touchy subject for some (maybe even most) people. I know because I have been on both extremes (more details later). I hope to provide factual information for all feeding options so that individual Moms can make informed decisions about what is best for their families.

Here are the following topics to be covered:
  1. Breast Vs. Bottle
    1. Breastfeeding
    2. Formula Feeding
  2. Solids Store Bought vs. Homemade
    1.  Featured Recipe Week

      Preparing for Childbirth Series

       The Birth Book: Everything You Need to Know to Have a Safe and Satisfying Birth (Sears Parenting Library)
      For a newly pregnant family, actually having the baby can seem like something to worry about later, AFTER all of the cute toys and clothes have been purchased. However, there is a lot involved with preparing for how you will bring your child into the world. If you didn't know that there were many options out there yet, your mom, aunts, cousins, neighbors, the person behind you at the super market and your co-worker's fifth cousin's sister's friend will all be telling you how it should be done shortly.

      What does this have to do with saving money? These first few post are not going to be typical for this blog as far as pure cash savings, however not choosing the right option for you can be costly and not knowing what costs are involved in different options and which of those costs that you will be responsible for can have a big impact. Also, if you have a certain birth experience that you want to strive for, this may be a good place to splurge.

      This series of posts will consist of the following posts:
      1. What type of childbirth experience do you want to have?
      2. Childbirth Education options.
      3. What do you take to the hospital?
      Moms who have had babies, where did you birth?
