Baby Brezza

When my breastfeeding plans went awry due to oral ties and low supply, we began combination feeding, a little bit of nursing but mostly formula. But prepping bottles for the day was a source of stress, even with the very handy Dr. Brown's Formula Mixing Pitcher. 

"I didn't feel like he was quite ready to play," Lloyd said of Kriisa after Friday's win. "Was hoping that we could get through this game without needing him, and fortunately we were. ... He's closer to playing than not playing. So hopefully soon."

But Dixon said he wasn't obsessed with ending the drought prior to Friday's game. He said he was thinking about his parents -- who couldn't make the trip due to illnesses -- and his late sister Maggie, the former Army head coach who tragically died in 2006 at age 28 due to a heart issue.

'You have sort of like the 10-year-old fifth-grader stuff, which is the beginning of the hormone shifts and the awakening of this next stage of self, and Honor's like right in the thick of it,' she stated.

Going their own way: During the sit-down, Alba noted that she felt that letting her children make wrong decisions and measuring how much they should deal with them on their own was what she felt was the most difficult aspect of parenthood

While TCU's first-round rout of Seton Hall was impressive -- the program's first NCAA Tournament victory since coach Jamie Dixon was a starting guard for the Horned Frogs in 1987 -- an even bigger deal comes Sunday night.

"It's been 35 years -- 35 years. That's crazy," Miller said.
"It's been a long time coming, I think. This program is slowly shifting the culture of TCU basketball. We're showing what TCU basketball is about right now."

Love To Dream

We brought our baby girl home from the hospital armed with several Halo sleepsack swaddles and swaddle blankets, only for her to either break out or generally hate all of them. She seemed to want to sleep with her hands up, so I ordered a Love to Dream swaddle. She immediately seemed more comfortable at nap time, and we stuck with these until she was ready to transition out (as you size up there are "transition" options that let you zip off the sleeves). These swaddles also offer the added bonus of making your little one look like a flying squirrel.

During the sit-down, Alba noted that she felt that letting her children make wrong decisions and measuring how much they should deal with them on their own was what she felt was the most difficult aspect of parenthood.

"We didn't play with fundamentals at first, but we adjusted in the second half, and took care of the ball a little bit. ... So we had a pretty good experience, pretty good performance, but always need to improve."

"I didn't feel like he was quite ready to play," Lloyd said of Kriisa after Friday's win. "Was hoping that we could get through this game without needing him, and fortunately we were. ... He's closer to playing than not playing. So hopefully soon."

‘I've seen situations where we didn't speak to each other for six hours because someone was so angry. That's just the competitiveness of the house. There must be something in the Charles-Cook blood…'

Alba did point out, however, that although her husband was more lax as a parent and generally concerned about their children's personal and academic well-being, she preferred to take a more hands-on role in their kids' upbringing.

In reality, once your baby arrives, the products you spend hours agonizing over aren't going to be as important as you think they are. Babies really only need a few things (food, clothes, diapers, a safe place to sleep), and every baby is indeed different, with different preferences. Are any of these items truly necessary? No. That being said, here are 10 baby purchases that ended up being key to my parenting journey, that I wish I had known to register for instead of buying in a panic on Amazon in those early weeks.
