Baby Ktan Baby Carrier, Black, Medium

Baby Ktan Baby Carrier, Black, MediumThe Baby K'tan Baby Carrier is a new and innovative soft baby carrier that is a cross between a sling and a more structured front carrier, providing the positions and benefits of both. There is no other carrier available like it.
Parents or caregivers can comfortably carry infants and toddlers (from birth to 3+ years old) in five different positions, (normally three different carries are needed to encompass these 5 positions), and create an ideal environment for premature babies and babies with special needs.
The Baby K'tan has added security and back support as compared to the traditional sling, and added comfort and ease of use as compared to the traditional front carrier. Our unique design offers the wearer a 100% cotton carrier with NO buckles, snaps, rings or hardware, that otherwise make baby wearing complicated and uncomfortable. Our patent pending lumbar support band offers the wearer extra back support and makes it easy to adjust baby or toddler's weight distribution on both shoulders.
The Baby K'tan's unique two loop design holds babies more securely and is extremely easy to use - NO WRAPPING INVOLVED! It is easy to put on and take off.
The Baby K'tanTM Baby Carrier is sized to fit the parent or adult who will be carrying the child.
Carrier size generally corresponds to a fitted t-shirt size for women and chest measurements generally correspond to suit jacket size for men. If in between sizes, choose a smaller size. For true size, wash and tumble dry before first use.
Small: Women top size up to size 6 and men chest size up to 37 inches.
Medium: Women top size 8-12 and men chest size 38-42 inches.
Large: Women top size 14-16 and men chest size 43-46 inches.

Healthy Eating Habits for Moms - Food Is Fuel for Breastfeeding

Healthy Eating Habits for MomsMost days, your mind is probably jammed packed with things to do. It's easy to see how eating right can get lost in the shuffle. Now that you're breastfeeding your baby, good nutrition needs to become a daily priority, but not necessarily for the reason you might think.

"Your food won't affect the quality of the milk you produce, but it will affect how YOU feel," says Jana McCarthy, a certified lactation consultant in Lake Forest, California.

That might strike some women as odd. There are so many old wives tales about eating and breastfeeding that it's hard to sort through and find the facts.

McCarthy asserts that diet is important. "What you eat fuels your body," she says. "Since your body has worked hard to produce this baby and then feed him or her, you need to eat nutritious food to take care of yourself."


McCarthy explains that your basic diet should consist of proteins, carbohydrates, and no more than 30 percent fat. In those early weeks of your baby's life, convenience is as important as good nutrition. McCarthy adds that there are plenty of good quality frozen foods available at your local grocery store. Reading labels will help you determine the protein, carbohydrate, fat, and vitamin content of these meals.

When Lisa Kaufman of Toney, Alabama, was breastfeeding, she altered her eating habits to include more nutritious items. One of the bigger changes was introducing more water into her diet. "Water is probably the best thirst quencher," McCarthy says. She adds that you should drink whenever you are thirsty.

Breastfeeding Supplies - What Do You Really Need to Breastfeed Successfully?

Cindy Curtis tells moms that all they need to breastfeed is just one breast?everything else is a bonus. She developed that philosophy a few years ago when she worked with a woman who had given birth after a bout with breast cancer. The woman went on to nurse her child for a year.
However, Curtis, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and administrator of Breastfeeding Online is quick to add that, if you have the money, other products can be very nice. Although when she was nursing she never felt the need for any special nursing products, she does admit that she recommends a book, The Ultimate Breastfeeding Book of Answers by Dr. Jack Newman, to all her new mothers.
"I've seen the growth in the market of products for breastfeeding moms, and all I can tell my clients is if they like it and it works for them and they can afford it?great," says Curtis.
What about the breastfeeding support pillows you will find at most large retailers? "There are different kinds of nursing pillows," says Curtis. "I think the comfort level depends upon where you nurse the baby and how you're built." Many mothers may do just as well to pile pillows around them or sit in a chair with higher, padded arms. Curtis's concern when talking about products for breastfeeding is that breastfeeding might be seen as too complicated or expensive for the average mother.

Breastfeeding During Pregnancy - It Can Be Done!

"The tender nipples while nursing were a give-away that I was pregnant," says Traci Coburn.

Becky Sweetser has just found out that she is pregnant. "Well, I suspected I was pregnant when my milk production literally dropped to nothing all of a sudden, and what I did have changed," she says.

"The milk was very watery, with a blue tint."
For many women, becoming pregnant while breastfeeding can come as a surprise. Some do not plan the pregnancy, while others assume a pregnancy is unlikely or even impossible while breastfeeding a child. As you hold your nursing child to your breast, you may think a new pregnancy will be difficult for everyone. As you care for one baby, how can you be growing another?

And yet, many women plan a pregnancy to ensure their children are close together. While breastfeeding can interfere with ovulation, it's an unlikely birth control for mothers who are nursing older babies.

"Breastfeeding is such a special time of closeness that it is unimaginable for some mothers to consider ending the relationship before the baby is ready, even if that means nursing through a pregnancy and subsequently nursing two babies together," says Ann Calandro, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) from North Carolina.

Throughout much of the world, especially in less "developed" countries, nursing while pregnant is common. In the US, it is important to understand that there are more misconceptions about breastfeeding during pregnancy that there are actual facts.

A woman can value her breastfeeding relationship with her child, and still ensure the well being of her new child growing inside. With some basic education and information for both the physician and pregnant woman, breastfeeding during pregnancy is almost always safe.

What About Mom? - Breastfeeding Benefits Aren't Just for Baby

Tell 10 people you're pregnant and at least eight of them will ask if you plan to breastfeed. It's a sensitive issue we all know the indisputable benefits of Mother's milk for babies, but what about the benefits for mommies? Breastfeeding is time consuming and painful, isn't it? Well, actually, no. You might be surprised to hear that not only does breastfeeding often take less time than bottle feeding, it also relaxes new moms, saves thousands of dollars and even carries long-term health benefits for mom as well as for Baby.

Each time you put your baby to your breast, Baby's suckling "Nursing your infant means you'll spend lots of one-on-one time with him. You'll get to know him very well?and you'll be his favorite person in the world ... It's easy to have confidence in your mothering abilities when you get such great feedback all the time."

During the first days of breastfeeding, you'll discover some hard-to-miss benefits: you'll actually feel your uterus contracting each time you nurse your child. You may not think having contractions after your baby is born is a good thing, but it really is?it helps your uterus return to a normal size. It also prevents you from hemorrhaging, which is why bottle feeding moms receive oxytocin intravenously to induce such contractions. But nursing moms get the continued benefits of oxytocin during the critical first week. Any mild cramping pain usually subsides minutes after the feeding ends, leaving you a little bit closer to your pre-pregnancy size and shape.

Would you like to lose weight while lying down in bed? Well, if you're nursing, you can. You'll burn up to 500 extra calories a day while you recline on the couch gazing at your little one's sweet head. Sure beats hitting the treadmill! And you can continue to justify eating a whole container of Ben and Jerry's as "filling your need for calcium."
