We found Brian and Ruby’s blog, and we’re happy to announce the birth of Izzy, their little boy. His parents are getting used to the crazy schedule of a newborn, if you can ever get used to it, and we’re happy that his mom discovered the benefits of cabbage leaves for breastfeeding. If you refrigerate them then apply them to swollen breasts, they can provide relief from the pain and discomfort of aching breasts. It’s a surprising home remedy that really works!

I’m glad she’s getting the chance to start her Mommy Baby yoga classes soon, too. (Our favorite home DVD is from Anna Getty.). We’re big supporters of the slow, graceful poses that keep bodies moving and stress at bay, for both baby and mom.
