    No matter if you’re expecting, a first-time mom or a seasoned veteran, all moms come to know–and appreciate–the benefit of sitting down, putting their feet up and taking a breather every now and then. It may not happen as often as we might like it, but we know it does a world of good to pay attention to our own well-being, whether it be a soak in the tub, a magazine or book to read undisturbed or the simple act of brewing a cup of tea.

    Who knew that reusable wipes would become a “hot”–or should we say, “warm”–trend? Last month, we reported on the Bummas line of cloth baby wipes.

It’s a comforting thought and one that has proven research behind it. BabyChime ,a company that makes necklaces that produce a melodious sound as they gently knock against pregnant bellies, claims to do just that. While this might make for a sweet gift for a new mother–after all, what expectant mother doesn’t appreciate a little indulgence, especially when her body image may not be so confident?–it shouldn’t be the reason to buy this product. The company offers testimonials from satisfied customers, as well as prenatal research to back up its product’s benefits on its Web site. However, no research has been [&hellip
