There’s a new player in the OLED TV market: Skyworth will offer OLED and LCD smart TVs in the U.S. in 2021 Emily Jan 16·2 min read

Skyworth had a big CES footprint in 2020, but the global pandemic interfered with its plans to ship its smart TVs in the U.S. market. The company plans to make that happen in 2021, and its lineup will include an OLED smart TV using a panel manufactured in the fab it co-owns with LG.



Skyworth won’t rely on OLED alone to raise brand awareness. It will also ship a wide range of LED-backlit LCD TVs, ranging from the super-budget 1080p TC6200 series (32-inch and 43-inch); to the mid-range 4K UHD UC6200 series (50-inch to 75-inch) and UC7500 series (43-inch through 65-inch); and the high-end UC8500 series (55- and 65-inch) with variable refresh rate (up to 120Hz) for gaming. The company did not provide pricing information.



[ Further reading: TechHive’s top picks in smart TVs ] Skyworth Skyworth’s low-end UC6200 sereies still features 4K UHD resolution.



All U.S. Skyworth TVs will run Android TV 10. The UC7500 series and above feature Bluetooth 5.0. The 55- and 65-inch XC9300 OLED series and the UC8500-series LCD series will sport high-end goodies such as HDR, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. These sets will also be equipped with far-field microphones for voice control.



Skyworth Skyworth’s high-end UC8500-series of LCD smart TV feature quantum-dot technology and support Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos



Skyworth is new to the U.S. market, but they’re no babe in the woods. The privately owned Chinese manufacturer is 33 years old and has been player in the worldwide consumer electronics market for more than 20 years. We have yet to test any of the company’s TVs, but if they’re fab partners with LG, we expect good things.

All Hands on Baby

All Hands on Baby

Everyone wants to touch the baby, especially during the pregnancy but no one every asks. If you haven’t noticed yet, the minute you start to show a tummy everyone else will gladly show you. The tummy becomes this magnet for hands and everyone wants to handle it. It doesn’t matter if you are walking around in a store, sitting down in a restaurant or walking on your own street, someone is bound to start rubbing all over it.

You aren’t the only one that is being driven nuts by this either, take a look at your husband. Sure he seems like a trooper but deep inside he’s probably ready to put someone’s lights out. Talk with your husband and see how he feels. Even if you don’t mind, he might not like other men’s hands on you. He may not care if it is a female touching your body but he can mind about a man. Think about how you would feel if you saw some woman rubbing her hands all over your husband’s chest. Maybe the two of you can come to an agreement, after all do you have to let everyone touch the baby?

Your belly, clothed or not is a personal space, sure there is someone intruding inside you but that person in welcome. But to actually touch someone else’s belly one should ask before they do it and respect your answer. If you don’t want them to touch it, tell them. While some women don’t mind all the attention, there are other women that don’t want their belly’s touched, let alone them to be showing for the whole world to see. Maybe they’ve gained 10 pounds and feel conscious enough about it, or they could be a very private person.

Children may also want to touch the belly, normally it is because they know someone that has had a baby and they were able to do it. If you don’t like it, let them know. If you don’t mind, you may want to place their hand on your belly. Children tend to get excited and actually smack the belly when they are trying to reach for it.

Forget about the rubbing the belly for a moment, be careful that you don’t get the person that likes to poke at it. That hurts more than anything and half the time they don’t get it. Try explaining to them as nicely as you can that it hurts. They may only be doing it because they want to see the baby move and when you jump they just think it is part of the pregnancy reaction. They may think twice before doing it again to you or anyone else.

If nothing else seems to work and you’ve been polite in letting people know that your belly is off limits, feel free to sick your husband on them or start swatting. You’ve already given fair warning. Don’t feel bad if you smack a person that lifts up your shirt in broad daylight either. This is a normal reaction and people should really think twice before doing it. They wouldn’t do it if you weren’t pregnant.
How to survive your first week with your newborn

I spoke to a new mom a few weeks ago who got to the hospital at 8:23 am, gave birth at 10:45 am and was released at 5 pm. She was so happy to be in her own home with her new babe. I ask her about her recovery, she looked at me clueless. The hospitals don’t prepare you for postpartum and even more now during COVID. You go from having lots of help their to NOTHING, no instructions. And whatever you’re told while there you’ll be recovering and on meds so you won’t remember a thing. So how do you transition home and survive the first week with your newborn? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

Here’s how:⠀⠀⠀

You will forget to eat so every time someone about asks the baby, tell them what food you’re hungry for. Ask for @grubhub gift cards, ask them to drop off groceries. Try to eat something fresh at each meal, salads with softer leaves (like butter lettuce, easier on postpartum digestion), carrot ginger miso dressing (ginger warms the womb, miso high in iron), cut-up fruit, fresh squeezed juices (the greener the better), smoothies and sooooooup!!! Read more about soups an warming foods here.

Tap beloved aunties and MILs for their old-timey soup recipes. Stocks made very slow on the stove. I love bone broth — homemade is best. (there are businesses that will charge eight dollars for some flavored water in a glass jar not the same as crock pot broth that jelly-fies in the fridge! Mmmm Collagen!).

Who can self-quarantine with you before the baby comes and two weeks after? Night time is when the blue loneliness come, especially as your spouse or partner is sleeping and you are awake, awake, awake! In the midst of these twilight hours, drink tea and learn scripts and affirmations for the future, when you’re alone and the baby blue feels creep in.⠀

Schedule deeper rest — divide the hours between 12 am and 6 am into two segments. If you have a partner/spouse give them either the 12 am to 3 am shift, or 3 am to 6 am shift. Whoever is “on call” responds to baby’s needs during that time, including cuddling, soothing, diapering, and skin to skin. For shift when the breast/chestfeeding parent is at rest, the non-feeding parent does EVERYTHING. Let the tears (lochia, and milk, etc) flow. ⠀

Lastly, you’ll need our postpartum recovery box to soothe all your vaginal or c section achiness and soreness. Check out our postpartum recovery products here. From vaginal soreness, hemorrhoids, stitches and bleeding. Our products speeds up healing and helps you recover faster. ⠀⠀
May 27 will be always our lucky day…

May 27 will always be our lucky day!

Yes, for my youngest son and me, is they he was born, we celebrate…because was the hardest day for both of us. because what we went through together…was very stressful.

All I remember is the ambulance rushing to the hospital, my husband following in his car.

It was my 4th pregnancy. With my other three boys, the deliver was at home with the assistance of a doctor or a midwife and all went well, this time was not the same the midwife that assisted me before travel for the holidays, and in the last examination, she said that the baby was ok. In our previous visit complained that I didn’t feel my baby moving like in the other pregnancies I had before she said that he was not in the right position, but it was fine on our last visit, so I don’t need to do an echography.

The contractions started, I call the midwives on call and they came…after long hours I couldn’t feel any progress, I was exhausted and didn’t know what is happening. When the midwives said, the baby was not coming as usual with the head first, I felt the danger of the situation,(I am a doctor), I told her to call 911 for an ambulance and the doctor. We rush to the hospital, I was in pain, scare and praying I can’t remember all! I just remembered the doctor saying, you had to push with all forces that you have and baby Gabriel was born safe and healthy!

When he came to my arms, I talk to my baby, we just went to a lot of stress together, not during the delivery part, we went to stressful time emotionally during all the pregnancy, and you and I deserve that from now on everything will work out for us, and so it happened.
The things they don’t tell you about having a baby
By: Keely Double
Tags: Children, Motherhood, Parenting, Baby, Memories

First up, this title is kind of a personal joke. While I was pregnant, my partner and I heard time and again, (smugly!), oh you just have no idea what is about to hit you.

It always irritated us because we felt like replying: we never said we did! We’re doing our best here!

In reality, though, everyone goes on so much about the sleeplessness, the excrement and the washing that I think you do actually feel quite prepared for that. (Okay, if I’m honest, the amount of laundry did take me slightly by surprise.)

There’s one experience, however, that no-one ever thought to mention – and which I would’ve liked to have heard more about.

And that is how much joy your baby will bring into the lives of the random people with whom they cross paths.

A year of big smiles

As our beautiful bub approaches his first birthday, we’ve naturally been reflecting on the huge year we’ve had.

Swiping back (and back and back and back!) through the iPhone to those first pics swathed in hospital blankets.

Recollecting the hours (and hours and hours and hours) spent trying to put our baby to bed, before we finally gave in and instigated a strict sleep routine.

Recalling the coffees (and coffees and coffees and coffees) I’ve shared with mum friends as we pushed our prams through the seasons – our summer-born bubs first in singlets, then zipped into Bonds Wondersuits, then layered up ridiculously in beanies and cardies.

But what I’ve loved most are the smiles. As my bub transitioned from a baby to a walking, interacting toddler, his smiles became frequent, erupting, effervescent rays of sunshine. His laughter is like an irresistible force that sweeps you up and makes every bad day better.

Everywhere we go, when we arrive with bub, people’s faces light up. At our two local cafes they know him by name. The waitresses come over for cuddles. They bring him toys. They wave to him and he benignly bestows all and sundry with his greetings.

Sitting in the trolley at the supermarket he cheers up tired-looking shoppers with a toothy grin. Exploring his legs, he ambles over to customers at a coffee shop and inserts himself into their conversations.

In swimming class he endears himself to the teacher by squealing with delight as she splashes him with water. And as we wait on the side of the road at traffic lights, he peers out from his pram at his fellow pedestrians, studying them intensely.

Everything he does and everywhere he goes, he makes someone happy.

What a gift.

And that’s something nobody told me about having a baby.
BACK PAIN IN PREGNANCY AND POST-DELIVERY-ROLE OF POSTURE AND EXERCISES
By: Progno Healthcare
Tags: Womanhood, Back Pain, Pregnancy, Motherhood, Baby

Back pain during pregnancy

Backache is one of the most common pregnancy problems, especially in the later months. The pain usually goes away after the baby is born. But for many women, back pain lingers for months after giving birth.

Why back pain during pregnancy?

Hormones: Progesterone and Relaxin are responsible for the laxity in the joints leading to imbalance and back pain. Changed Uterus Size: Uterus enlarges during pregnancy and recoils back post-delivery. This enlarged uterus puts pressure over the abdominal muscles and lower back leading to back pain. Changed Posture: There is increased lordosis leading to abnormal weight bearing on the spinal and pelvic joints leading to back pain.

Back Pain Post pregnancy/delivery:

These myriads of changes along with Stressed out muscles during delivery(muscles which have been stagnant throughout the life are stressed out in normal delivery, whereas a major stabilizer to the pelvis and lower back is cut leading to pelvic instability thereby back pain in caesarian section) are responsible for back pain post-pregnancy which may last till 6–8 weeks post-delivery.

Studies state that 30 % of women experience back pain during the first year after vaginal delivery and 56.67% suffer after cesarean section. Typically, back pain after delivery should subside within 6 to 8 weeks, although, in case of a C-section, back pain could last a little longer. This pain is highly treatable, but with the one thing, many new mothers don’t have time or energy for exercise.

Posture, too, plays a significant role in back pain after delivery. Certain breastfeeding postures, posture changes from holding the baby, and everyday bending and twisting can cause micro-tears in the muscles and ligaments that support the spine, resulting in a chronic cycle of inflammation, pain, and instability.

Hence it is important to understand the right postures to be maintained during pregnancy, post-delivery, in handling the baby and the right exercises to be done during and after delivery to prevent Back pain.

Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield Foundation and March of Dimes Partnership Sheds Light on ‘Birth Spacing’
By: Anthem Foundation
Tags: Healthcare, Prenatal, Pregnancy, Baby, March Of Dimes

Premature birth and its complications are the leading cause of infant death in the U.S., accounting for more than one-third of infant deaths and $26 billion in healthcare related costs per year.

Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Foundation and the March of Dimes, organizations that have served Coloradans since the 1930s, recently collaborated on a project to improve prenatal care and reduce preterm births through proper birth spacing.

Research shows that when births are spaced less than 18 months apart, the chance of preterm birth and other adverse outcomes increases.

In the last year at two sites in the Denver area, the Foundation grant helped reach more than 300 mothers, ages 13 to 22. Timed with regularly scheduled well-child visits for their infants, the women received an overall maternal health checkup: folic acid intake was measured, they were screened for depression and got help, if needed, with smoking cessation.

“In addition, these visits presented a perfect opportunity for doctors and health educators to inform mothers about the critical role proper birth spacing plays in maternal and infant health,” said Dr. Elizabeth Kraft, medical director for Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Colorado.

Getting Your House Ready for the Arrival of a New Baby William Anderson Jul 15·2 min read

Once the news of a new baby in the family spreads, there’s no stopping the joy and excitement that radiates throughout the house. Everyone in the family from the proud grandparents to the excited aunts and uncles just can’t wait to get their hands on the little one. But because you’ve lived for years with only adults around, your home might not be safe or even baby-friendly at all.

Start with this list to prepare for the arrival of your new baby.

Set up a nursery room.

Where is your baby going to sleep? Before the arrival of the new baby comes and takes all of your time and attention, make sure you prepare a comfy and cozy space just for him. Designate a room in your house entirely for your baby where you can store all the baby essentials. Organize the room by allocating nursing stations, play areas, and other necessities.

Baby-proof your entire home.

The safety of your baby should not be limited to his nursery room. Make sure that each room in your house has a designated baby space and should be completely safe for your baby. Plugin the sockets, do the necessary repairs and add corner guards all over the house before your baby finally comes.

Make the atmosphere baby-friendly with customized baby portraits.

Once you got the basics down, it’s time to beautify your home. With the hundreds of ornaments, you can choose from, go for something aesthetic yet sentimental. How about customized baby portraits for the arrival of your new baby?

Love and Bub freeze precious baby moments in time through beautiful, customized baby portraits. It is completely hassle-free too as you simply need to send them a photo of your baby and leave the magic to them. Choose from their most popular customized baby portraits:

No need to overthink whether you’ve got everything ready for your baby yet. Just take it easy and enjoy every moment in parenthood. As long as you follow the above guide, a happy baby is guaranteed.

Childless and Happy?
By: Angelica Nohra
Tags: Baby, Life Lessons, Parenting

I’ve spent A LOT of time around babies lately. My sister and brother in law have the two most beautiful baby boys and my husband is just smitten with them. So much so that any excuse to be around then, we drop everything and go.

I don’t mind it because I love QLD and will go there any chance I get but lately, it’s been bringing up a lot of different emotions in me.

I’m 31 and childless. My husband have been married for 8 years and it’s been a decision up until now that we were going to have children ‘yet’. Over years of loving each others’ company, the freedom we enjoy, the lifestyle we have, the work and business decisions we’ve made, the conversation has been pushed out further and further. That hasn’t really bothered us because the majority of our friendship group doesn’t have kids anyway.

The more time we spend up there, the more friends of theirs we meet and they all have little kids…most are under 3.

When I observe the mums, as a childless mum, I have started having the strangest things come up. I feel both relieved and yet, inadequate. I look at women who have their career, their family and their own home and think “where did I go wrong?”

I then remember how much I value freedom, particularly time freedom and it reminds me having children changes your life dramatically. You can no longer work to your schedule… you are at the mercy of someone else’s schedule. Meals and sleep are based around them… I’m not sure if that will really bring me joy.

“oh but you gotta do it…it’s the best thing you’ll ever experience”

Will it though? Never really being present in a conversation because you are worrying about where your kid is? Constantly planning things around when the kids are going to sleep/wake up/eat? Constantly having to plan meals? It’s just not me. I’m super selfish and I make a great Aunty.

The other side of me says my life truly is meaningless and I work for no reason other than to work and play. Financial success does not equate to life satisfaction. I’m at a point where I don’t see meaning in what I do and it’s prompting this urge to bring life into this world. Perhaps that will help me find motivation and love for what I do again?

Then I question whether that is a stable and mature reason to have children? If you aren’t happy with what you are and what life looks like, should one bring children into the world? Isn’t it better to be so overjoyed with life and work, you feel children will enhance it?

So that’s where I’m at. 31 years old. Married. Potentially one ovary producing eggs, not really fulfilled with my work and feeling both jealous and relieved that I don’t have a baby to dote over.

Where to from here?
What I experienced during “paternity leave” in an international marriage
By: Yasuharu Miura
Tags: Baby, Japan, Russia, Parenting

Photo by Picsea on Unsplash

Although the world is becoming more globalized, different countries still have different ways of parenting. Today I will introduce a few things I experienced during paternity leave in Japan and Russia.

It’s unusual for dad to take paternity leave in Japan

When I was taking my daughter to the hospital for her regular check-up, to a children’s square where she could play with other babies, or for a walk in the park, I often had this conversation with nurses, other moms, and the neighbors I met:

👩🏻 “Hey, are you off work today?”

🧔🏻 “I’m taking paternity leave now.”

👩🏻 “Really!? What a nice company you are working for! Even dad can take parental leave!”

Certainly, wherever I go, there are moms everywhere and I am the only dad. It seems that there are different reasons for this, such as the company atmosphere and so on. By the way, when I was in Russia, I saw many times dads pushing strollers and talking about parenting and hobbies in the park. It looked really nice.

Japan’s maintenance of a good environment for families with children

When I am going to a shopping mall or a restaurant, I am really glad to have diaper changing space and a nursing room, which is quite common in Japan. On the contrary, it was difficult to find such space in Russia, so I’ve had a hard time there.

But even in such a comfortable country like Japan, I sometimes feel sad because diaper changing space is only in the women’s bathroom and not in the men’s bathroom. Dad wants to change diapers too…

Different ways of parenting in different countries

🚶‍♂️Going for a walk with a newborn baby

Japan: Don’t take your baby outside too much because she is still very weak! If you want to take a walk, make it only 5–10 minutes.

Russia: Let’s go outside for a couple of hours to make your baby stronger! Mothers and children have more chances to get sick if they stay at home.

🥣 Baby food

Japan: Homemade food is the best! Commercial baby food is not good. Salt is ok but sugar is your enemy (including sugar in fruits)!

Russia: Commercial baby food is totally ok. Your baby should eat fruits every day. Sugar is not that bad, but stay away from salt!

and so on…

It’s interesting that the way of parenting is different in different countries. I’m thinking of picking up good things in both Japan and Russia and will certainly try it.

I wanted to participate in childcare when my child was small, and I was happy to be able to do it. I learned a lot of parenting know-how by constantly searching various web sites and talking to people around me. And I was always thinking whether these methods really suit me, my wife and my child. Because it’s hard to continue doing something when you feel that something is wrong. Anyway, I will keep enjoying childcare.
BABY JOY CONVERTIBLE BASSINET BABY STROLLER 2-IN-1 RECLINING STROLLER BLUE
By: Harry Oscar

The exact opposite thing that a parent needs to do on an excursion is to carry their infant around. In the event that you need to have the option to put your little child down, you need a buggy that will be agreeable yet smaller. The BABY JOY Baby Stroller Convertible Bassinet 2-in-1 Reclining Stroller Blue is light to the point that it tends to be lifted with one finger.

It additionally has highlights like EVA wheels, a removable overhang to shield your little one from the sun, and a lean back capacity. I picked it as the best umbrella carriage for Disney and excursion.

The usefulness of BABY JOY Baby Stroller

The entire family ought not to need to pass up the sights since you are going with a lethargic little child. This model offers all the nuts and bolts your little child should be happy with, including a lean back capacity, an agreeable padded seat, and a shaped footstool.

This light buggy additionally has a lot of extra room and can be carried around with the advantageous conveying lash. The huge EVA haggles planned handles mean you won’t need to stoop down while strolling and exploring will be a breeze.

Notwithstanding the movement includes, this buggy has a 5-point wellbeing tackle that makes it alright for newborn children as much as 50 pounds. It includes a huge work stockpiling container that is anything but difficult to get to and a cup holder. Another pleasant element of this umbrella buggy is the UV-evidence overhang, which shields your little one from the sun’s destructive beams.

When collapsed, there is a conveying tie and lock bar that lets you convey your child in one arm and the carriage in the other.

The one drawback of this buggy is that it doesn’t have a plate, which would be valuable for get-away in the event that you have to cut toys onto the carriage while voyaging or stop and give your little one a tidbit.

On the off chance that you need a model that has a plate for movement, the BABY JOY Baby Stroller Reclining Stroller Blue audited next has a significant number of similar highlights. It is somewhat bulkier, however, it likewise accompanies a conveying plate.

Pros BABY JOY Baby Stroller Convertible Bassinet Blue
Mistakes you make from switching diaper to diaper pant?
Tags: Diapers, Motherhood, Parents Love, Baby, Baby Care

The most common asked frequently by parents about when a baby should make a switch from diapers to diaper pants. The answer is- there is not a specific age or deadline. Parents will get some hints while you are trying to make baby learn about potty training. But at this time parents need to pay attention as you can make some mistakes.

The common mistakes made by parents are:

Starting early with potty training: beginning too soon make a baby to rebel with the process. Right age plays the key here. Usually, the baby responds to potty training when they are around 18–24 months.

Eagerness leads to harshness: As a parent, you can’t expect so small baby to grasp everything so quickly. You need to be patient. Your kid may delay in going to the toilet as they may pay more attention to play with their favourite toy or learning some other thing.

Often mixing day and night training: As a parent, you may forget to incorporate pant style diaper during night training which is very important. Your baby knows when to go washroom during the day but maybe still wondering in the night. Guiding correctly plays a major role that makes the baby make distinguish between day and night time training.
You Don’t Deserve All That Guilt, Mama

You Don’t Deserve All That Guilt, Mama

– Well, here we are! - Tatyana's voice pulled me out of thought`s stream I plunged headlong into during a long drive from airport. I straightened my stiff legs and slowly pulled door handle. The car door swung open and I inhaled a deep piece of fresh air. An ocean of excitement raged inside my heart: what would I say to her and was it worth coming here? Before I could come to my senses, with a faint creak, like two huge bird wings, a brown gate was opened in front of me.

– Come in please! - I heard a pleasant voice of Tatyana. Looking into my eyes and smiling, she remained completely calm. I hurried after her. Clutching my bag and dragging a suitcase, I hesitantly stepped on the ground grass. The sight of marvelous house took my breath away. I saw such homes only in magazines.

- Is it really a place where my girl lives? Inside me all the feelings were mixed up, and I no longer knew what kind of feeling I should have at this moment.

-Do I need to continue being afraid of first meeting with my girl after a long absence in Moscow, or do I need to leave all doubts behind and appreciate God for all the things he has given to me, for sending Tatyana who agreed to babysit? By choosing the gratitude, I start feeling that my anxiety began to disappear. So, I realized that my last two and a half years were spent in groundless thoughts that my girl living in need.

- Will I ever be able to tell my daughter that she became my wonderful fairy godmother, my ultimate hero just only by the fact that she is existing in this world. Every second when I was breathing, I was missing her voice and beautiful smile. - Will I be able to explain her that she has awakened something incredible in me, something engaging that cannot be explained in words, which encouraged me to become a different person. - Now, the old me simply disappeared and I am a new person who, by overcoming fears and doubts, was able to get on feet, open my business and start a new, prosperous life.

- I often wondered how such a small person, my little girl, could inspire me to create a new, wonderful life.

With these thoughts, I boldly headed to new page of my life. Entering the house and not having time to take my shoes off, I heard footsteps coming from afar. I saw her but could not immediately recognize my baby.

– Oh God, time flies. She is such a big girl now!

– Mom, mommy, - the child cried with excitement. All my five senses became clouded, and I was not able to pick a single word up for reply. - I’m so glad you came! - opening her tiny, pink arms, girl ran to greet me. Throwing my bag right on the floor and spreading my arms out to the sides, I stopped in bewilderment, ready to burst into tears with happiness.

– And who is this aunt? - she asked, pushing her little body to Tatyana’s legs. – Do we have a new guest?

Tatyana could not answer anything appropriate. My and her eyes met in silent pause. I dropped my hands down. Tears streamed down my cheeks.

Today, we had another crisis. In the morning, I was alone with our baby, as my husband went and took both our cars for their tires to be changed. Winter is near and it is the law in our country, to change tires to winter tires by November 15 each year.

He got home some minutes after noon and I told him that my breasts hurt because Otto has grown so big, that now when he is in my lap, he can kick me right up to my breasts.

But soon we realized it wasn’t Otto’s kicking. Well, he was, just the pain wasn’t from that. I saw that there are some red spots at the bottom of my left breast and we both knew what that meant. That there are probably some clotted milk ducts and they got infected. I didn’t feel warm or anything, just annoyed that this is happening again.

To be honest, I didn’t know why this should happen as our baby is constantly demanding milk and there are times that I feel that there is nothing in there for him. But somehow, milk still runs even though they feel empty.

It is funny how if you’ve asked me before Otto was born what I think about breastfeeding, I would say that it is a natural way of feeding your baby. With an emphasis on natural, meaning, it comes naturally. I couldn’t be more wrong, however. At least in my case.

So far I’ve had a rough start as Otto wasn’t latching very well. Then, there was a really bad case of hurt nipples with blood and scabs; mastitis, twice, but the non-bacterial one; clotted milk ducts with pain in my breasts at least every couple of weeks. This pain even woke me up once with stabbing, pinching, burning sensation deep inside. Oh, and my left breast is now larger a centimeter in diameter, compared to the right one.

But on the bright side, the baby is growing and that makes me happy despite all the teeth-crunching.

3 Ways Having a Baby Changed my Life (That You May Relate To)

1. Scheduling

I was never really a punctual person until I began teaching some years ago. Leaving a room of teenagers hanging at 7 am when class began was not only inconsiderate but eventually a fire-able offense.

It was a science: wake up at 5:30, groan and roll around until 5:45, dress by 6:00, in the car by 6:05, in the drive-through getting an iced coffee and breakfast burrito by 6:15, paid by 6:20(ish), to the school by 6:40, sit in the car and finish eating until 6:45, and unlock the door to the classroom at 6:55. Bell rang at 7, and thus my day began.

With a baby? There is no science. I can guess that she will wake up between 6 and 8a on her own because she does. Usually. I can assume it will take a few minutes to change her, then feed her for another 10 to 15.

Hopefully, she stays calm enough for me to freshen up, have some cereal, and take my vitamins. I manage to put leggings on, and we make it to her appointment with her pediatrician at 10:30a. Which, I may add, I scheduled with her nap schedule in mind.

What would I tell myself if I could go back in time?

Those first few months, if you can help it, don’t have a rigid schedule in your head. Allow for flexibility where you can (I do realize this is hard with multiple children, work, and lack of available caregivers), prioritize the important things, and let the rest go. We needed to make it to the pediatrician’s appointment…but I don’t have to rearrange the living room even though the clutter is making my skin crawl.

As an added bonus: the little one eventually started to make her own schedule! Even though it varies time-to-time.
Why I Started LACH
Tags: Baby, Motherhood, Sustainability, Sustainable Fashion, Parenting

My name is Kimberly and I am a mother of two beautiful children. LACH is an idea that came out of necessity. Read on to learn more!

About a year after my youngest child turned one, I realized that it may be time to get rid of my maternity clothing. I knew I was not going to have anymore children so I had no reason to keep my wardrobe. I went into full spring cleaning mode. Not only did I pull all of my maternity clothes, I also collected all of my children’s clothing. Once everything was in enormous piles, I was hit with a major realization. I realized just how little my children wore their adorable outfits before outgrowing them and the amount of money, my friends, family, and I spent on them. We all need clothes but it seems like such a waste!

My first thought was consignment. There were so many ways to do it but each had a flaw. Larger online consignment companies had so many categories I worried about whether or not my items would sell. Local consignment sales required way too much work between tagging and pricing each item and volunteering to work at the actual sale. I found that selling through social media was difficult because the only way to buy or sell was to know people in these active groups. It was all too confusing and time consuming. After realizing the hassle of these different channels, I decided there needed to be an app just for mothers. Enter LACH.

LACH is an app where mothers can find anything preloved, from maternity and children’s clothing to toys and accessories. We no longer need to scour the internet for places to buy or sell our babies’ items, it is all in one place. The best part about LACH is the specialist program. Want to sell items but don’t have time or feel like listing? Work with a LACH specialist who will list items for you! Want to make extra cash? Sign up to become a LACH specialist. You will work directly with buyers by collecting and listing their items on the app. The benefit? Commission and gifts! Mothers helping mothers is the name of the game and everyone is excited to be a part off it. Join the LACH family today!
