Tips on Getting Pregnant and General Health
Parenting is an exciting journey. We all start out knowing - well - not very much - and daily we gather snippets of news, advice and support from family and friends around us.
But each stage of parenting is fairly exclusive, and once you're over one stage, there isn't much time to look back, as several new challenges appear on the horizon. There are bound to be worries and concerns as you experience a host of new feelings and emotions.
The Baby Directory is very pro-choice, and we try very hard not to be too bossy about which way you decide to parent. We just know there is so much information to get one's head around, and that having it all in one place, makes life easier and more enjoyable.

Why you might not be able to breastfeed There are some instances in which a new mother simply can't nurse exclusively, or at all, and bottle-feeding can save the day. Some women, as much as they want to, are just not able to breastfeed, at least not exclusively. However, do give breastfeeding a try (it's free!), but be prepared to supplement with a bottle if you find it's not working for you. Here are some other reasons that might preclude you from breastfeeding.
