What causes cradle cap?
If you notice white or yellow flaky, scaly patches on your baby's head, don't panic. Cradle cap isn't the cutest thing in the world, but it's certainly nothing that you should worry about too much. In fact, cradle cap is relatively common among babies, especially in the first few months.
The exact causes of cradle cap are unknown, but some doctors believe that hormones from the mother at the end of her pregnancy cause her baby's oil glands to become overactive after birth. Other doctors think that genetics and natural bacteria on the skin play a role in the development of cradle cap. Whatever the cause, it isn't a sign of neglect, poor hygiene, allergies or illness, and it isn't contagious.

What you really need to have on hand while you are out and about with your baby.
That cute diaper bag you got at your baby shower probably wasn't meant to be stuffed until bursting at the seams. Well, the good news is that there's no need to overpack and lug around a bag that weighs a ton. The following items are pretty much all you need when you're out and about with your baby. Just be sure to restock when you get home, so you're never without these diaper bag essentials.
Diapers. Obvious, yes, but how many you pack depends on how long you're going to be out, how old your baby is, and how he/she is feeling. (if you're heading to the doctor because your baby has diarrhea, for instance, pack several so you're prepared for a maximum number of changes.) And don't forget to follow the plus one rule: Always pack one more diaper than you think you'll need. read more...
Why do feet stink? Everybody is familiar with this phenomenon. Most of us have a friend or relative who can clear out a room when they kick off their shoes. And even the sweetest smelling person can do a decent job stinking up a pair of shoes by running a few miles in them. So what's going on here? Why do your feet have a stronger odor than the rest of you does? read more...
Top 5 foods for beautiful skin? With people all over the globe spending billions of dollars on skin-care products every year, you'd think cosmetics companies had replicated the fountain of youth in the laboratory.
