Is your toddler ready for Kindergarten? In Manhattan, a parent has a wide range of options - public/private or gifted and talented? So, you moved to a great neighborhood years ago assuming since you are zoned to the best schools, your child would get one?

With both parents working more and more hours, out of necessity rather than choice and with day care centres now offering 24/7 care for our children puts a lot of pressue on today's working parents.  Forty percent of the American labor force now works some form of nonstandard hours, including evenings, nights, weekends and early mornings, according to Harriet B. Presser, a professor of sociology at the University of Maryland.

My twins were born in London, in the United Kingdom. When I was pregnant and looking at Newborn Care, I found out I can hire a Qualified Maternity Nurse to care for my babies if I wanted to.

Being a Mom is hard. Being a stay at home Mom has its challenges as one could feel a tremendous sense of loneliness and isolation. All of a sudden, what I have been planning and wanting for years has happened. I am a Mom:) My twins were around six months old. Husband was working full time and we were living in a four-storey town house in London, in 2006. During the first 9 months of my twins lives, I hardly ever left the house during the day except for immunizations or medical ...

April 2008 in London, UK. Ryan and Joshua are now approaching the age to start eating more than milk:roll: I was at that time, known for my cooking skills with family and friends who loved their food spicy, spicy and spicy:) I knew nothing about baby food. However, as Ryan and Joshua were premature, I was told nutrition is very important in the first two years of their lives as the brain doubles in size....since being born at such a low birth weights of 2 and 3 lbs, th...

My father, Srian was a fraternal twin whom was the first to be delivered at home in Colonial times in Sri Lanka. In my memory, I remember as a child that he was a disciplinarian to his kids, a best friend during my teenage years, an advocate in my University days, proud and equal as I landed a prestigious position within Investment Banking and 'leading by example' was his motto. Srian went on to become an athlete whose records are still unbeaten in 2011!:D However, he...

It is almost three months since the birth of my twin boys Ryan and Joshua. They were on four hourly formula feedings at 6 am, 10 am, 2 pm, 6 pm and 10 pm. At one point, I decided to amend the routine having taken tips from Gina Ford (http://www.contentedbaby.com/). I must mention I read several books from different authors inc...

Our twin boys, Ryan and Joshua are now around 6 weeks old, born 8 weeks early, so real age being just 2 weeks. After two weeks of being at home with me and sharing the care for our sons, my husband has to return to work. We did not have any hired help organised, my mother was working, father has already passed away (2002) and Olaf's parents were both working and in...

So you've just given birth in the hospital and all the nurses are around making sure you and the baby are well. You spend 48 hours in the hospital (if you didn’t have a C-Section) during which your and your baby's needs are addressed. Then it's time to leave and your hands start to shake when you try to s...

It is the 27th January 2006 and my twins sons are 6 weeks old and it is time for me to visit my OB, Dr Emeka Okaro (http://www.womenswellnesscentre.com/eokaro.htm) for my post-partum checkup.

As we did not have any paid help with ...
