Wow!! Did you know that there are four million, seven hundred ten thousand places to look on Google for Green Diapers?

Did you know that? Well, what I didn’t know is that there is a huge movement out there by new parents in the world-at-large who are trying to remedy the environmental issue of too many indestructible diapers filling up the landfill holes in the earth. There are thousands of parents who are joining the Green Diaper Revolution. Are you one of them? Let us know. We’d love to hear from you. (more…)

Happy Greetings to Every New Baby and All the Folks in the New Baby’s family!

Here at the wonderful, warm website known as Baby Bugpuddles, we are in the business of finding all the good stuff that’s in the World for your New Baby. We will post new ideas concerning the health and happiness of Mommy, Daddy and the new ruler in the family.  We’ll talk about everything from animal crackers to zebras, from butterflies to honeybees, from breast pumps to baby blankets, from schedules to sleeping habits and we want all of you to join in the fun. We’ll let you know about new ideas, new advice from professional advice givers, as well as innovations, recipes, doodads, whirly-gigs, play pens, bedding, swings, toys and other good stuff as soon as it all becomes available.

And, what’s more, we’re going to ask New Mommies to post their stories of how they have managed with their new sleeping habits now that Baby is here.  We want to hear  about how New Daddy has coped with the new “ruler of the family;”  and if the new ruler has brothers or sisters or both, then we want to hear their stories also.

We all love babies, so we especially want to have you post pictures of the New Baby and the New Family as often as possible.

We look forward to all your posts.  The more the merrier!!!

Love and hugs from all of us here at Baby Bugpuddles blog.
