Cold weather safety isn’t about wrapping your baby like a burrito. It’s mostly about smart layering, a little moisture in the air, and paying attention to the small stuff that keeps babies comfortable. ❄️

This does not mean you need to run out and replace your current bassinet - just that any manufactured next year (after February) will be required to meet these new standards! Yay for keeping babies safe!

🎊 New Safety Requirements for Bassinets and Cradles 🎊

Beginning February 21, 2026, updated federal safety requirements for bassinets and cradles will take effect.

These updates set clear limits on height, sleep surface angle, mattress firmness, and side wall height—all factors that help reduce the risk of falls, collapse, suffocation, and entrapment in a baby’s sleep space.

The revised standard also explicitly includes replacement bassinet mattresses, helping ensure that mattresses sold separately meet the same safety expectations as the original product.

Reminder: Safe sleep isn’t about added features. It’s about whether a design keeps babies safe during real-world use.

It's here! This took me waaaaayyyyy longer than I anticipated, but better late than never! What do you have on your holiday wish list?

If you have been googling "best baby gifts" you already know the deal: endless lists of swaddles, pacifiers, bottles, and things designed for the tiny human who cannot yet appreciate them. Cute. But you know who actually needs the love, comfort, and gifts? The parents - the people growing the baby,....

Epidurals are not for everyone; you get to choose what comfort measures are right for YOU. But if they are your kind of magic… well, let’s just say anesthesiologists are very popular.

Continuous fetal monitoring isn’t the safety net it’s hyped up to be. Turns out, less can really be more. 💜 Evidence > fear.

🎁 Gifted Article:

Round-the-clock fetal monitoring leads to unnecessary C-sections. But it’s used in nearly every birth because of business and legal concerns, The Times found.

👻 Sleep deprivation? Terrifying. A mountain of bottles, burp cloths, and big feelings? Straight-up nightmare fuel.

✨Poll Time!✨

I just discovered Bitchstix, and I’m in love: the name (a nod to RBG), the mission, the whole vibe. They donate proceeds to support survivors of domestic abuse and sexual assault so every swipe of balm does some actual good in the world.

Obviously, I need to share that magic with my clients. Because birth is hard, lips get chapped, and you all deserve something that feels a little badass in your hospital bag (or diaper bag… or purse… or glove box). 💋

Now help me out: which flavor are we feelin’?
💄Açaí Berry
🍒Black Cherry
🍊Citrus Orange
🥥Classic Coconut
🌿Eucalyptus Mint
🍵Matcha + Aloe
🍑Peachy Peach
🍍Pineapple Twist
🍋Pink Lemon
🍉Pink Watermelon
❤️Pomegranate
🍓Strawberry Dragonfruit
🍦Vanilla Crème
💋Very Raspberry

Drop your faves below so I can stock up on the ones that’ll make everyone’s birth bag (and nightstand) just a little more fun.

Just a friendly reminder: the uterus is the muscle that houses and grows a baby, and the placenta is the temporary organ that nourishes it. They are not the same thing. If you’re unclear on this, you probably shouldn’t be drafting public health policies about pregnancy.
