Thinking outside the box when it comes to date nights, taking time individually, and more ways to strengthen your marriage after your bundle of joy arrives.

A new study reveals surprising results: children of light drinkers have fewer behavioral problems and even higher cognitive abilities. So does this study make a new case for drinking alcohol during pregnancy? Our experts tackle this controversial debate.

There are a few things we know for sure. Don't abuse your children. Do feed, clothe and shelter them. Beyond that, you can probably find some sketchy opinion or study to back up any position you take on parenting.

Some people say that animal lovers are born, not made. All we know for sure is that these babies are starting early! With dogs and cats like these, who needs a babysitter — or a big sister?

Back in August, The New York Times wrote about a study that bolsters the idea of a male biological clock. Turns out, mutations in older men's sperm may lead to a higher risk of autism and schizophrenia in offspring. The results of the study weren't definitive, but they are confirmation that all this talk about 40 being the new 30 is a bunch of hooey.

Ok, so they may not be broadcating their births on national teloevision Kourtney Kardashian style, but these two celebs are releasing the first photos of their new ADORABLE babies!

Since mothers tend to be the primary night-time caregivers, it's no surprise they tend to me the most sleep deprived of the parenting pair. And sleep deprivation does no family member any good.

This morning, we saw the most ADORABLE photo in People magazine. Unfortunately it's not online yet, but get this: Snooki and Jionni LaValle's new baby, "little meatball" Lorenzo Dominic LaValle, lounging in his crib with a huge stuffed crocodile MORE THAN TWICE HIS SIZE.

Will it mean that mom and dad can never go out on a date without bringing baby along? Will my husband still think I am sexy when he sees me breastfeeding? What happens when I go back to work?

Read, Sing and Talk To Your Baby When babies make cooing sounds, we make cooing sounds in return. When they smile, we smile and then they smile and it goes on and on. Our loving joy or job is to provide prompt response to his needs, consistent care and love. Hopefully, we will share opportunities for activities which will help move and develop muscles including the brain..

Several months into motherhood, just as things really start to settle down, you realize your baby is in fact, no longer a baby. That's the point where you turn to your partner and ask "So, you ready for another?"

Even though my fiance and I are still months away from walking down the aisle, the inevitable question has already come up: When are we going to have kids?
