The Baby Food Diet

So many recent moms are still struggling to get rid of those excess pounds brought on by carrying their bundle of joy.  They say it takes the average mom 1 year to get back to her pre-pregnancy weight.  There are thousands of different diets available to experiment with, but why not take a look at one where the ingredients and food are right under your, um baby's nose.   Celebrities have already spearheaded the trend, with Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon leading the path.  It's a bit unconventional but baby jars are packed full of healthy fruits and veggies with no added salts or chemicals if you go the organic route.  A typical Baby Food diet might consist of baby food for breakfast, lunch and one adult food dinner.  Snacks might include "melt in your mouth" organic apple puffs.  I know that I munch my fair share of these, as well as veggie Mum Mums.  Is losing weight while eating baby food practical?  If any moms have tried the Baby Food Diet, we'd love to hear from you.

"Smells Like Baby Poo Diapers"

You know you are getting old when Rockabye Baby comes out with lullabye renditions of your favorite Nirvana songs.  Share favorites like Smells Like Teen Spirit, Lithium, and Come as You Are with your little one during naptime.  And then when they hit their tweens, play them the real deal and tell them all about Kurt and Cortney to completely mess with their heads.  I am actually a big fan of Rockabye Baby's Led Zeppelin and Bob Marley CDs.  I can seriously fall asleep to Baby I'm Gonna Leave You in the rocking chair.
