Better Births With Ricki Lake

Your Best Birth
Ok you’re pregnant, now what? We remember all the advice, stories and opinions thrown our way and just thinking about it makes us break out into a cold sweat (as well as reach for a pint of ice cream). Suddenly a very unlikely source has emerged from out of the celebrity-abyss with her own advice--former talk-show host Ricki Lake (and star of the original Hairspray movie) has come out with a book to follow up her much-talked about documentary The Business of Being Born. The book Your Best Birth: Know All Your Options, Discover the Natural Choices, and Take Back the Birth Experience helps women take back the power of making her own choices during pregnancy and during the birth. Instead of telling you what’s best, Ricki gives you all the options and lets you figure out which is the best choice for you-home birth, water birth, epidurals and helps take the fear out popping one (or more) out. It’s a fun and easy way to start your planning while getting all the info you need to make the right decisions. And always remember and never forget, at the end of the day this labor of love is well worth it.

Tunes for Tots

Your favorite music never looked so cute

It’s gratifying, as a mom of the MTV generation, to see your kids enjoying music. Even as babies, they start to show their appreciation—bobbing their tiny heads and rocking out to whatever tune happens to be playing. So they seem to enjoy the tinny “Old McDonald” on the exersaucer as much as your vintage Dylan—that’s ok. They’ll
