By: A.M., IANtB Science Editor

You’ve probably seen this awesome video clip from last year’s Cosmos reboot, but it here it is in case you haven’t! Chances are you’ll have at least one person on your feed today who says, “Global warming my butt! It’s freezing cold today!” This video is a great illustration of why that sort of logic makes no sense to anyone who knows how to science. 😛

If you want to rewatch the series, it’s available … Keep Reading!!!

Bottles, Breasts and Babies – Feeding Siblings Differently

The Formula Fed Baby

When I was pregnant with my first breastfeeding was a given to me. It just seemed like the normal thing to do and I never considered anything else. I was under the impression that it’s simple – latch baby – end of story. I set up no support system, I didn’t do any research.

At the hospital I was made to feel like I couldn’t do it until the nurse was there to “help” latch baby, … Keep Reading!!!

Brooke Bates

My almost 4 yr old daughter still nurses for a few minutes before her nap and bedtime. Occasionally she wants to nurse when she wakes up also. We don’t nurse in public anymore now that she’s older but I do share that information with other moms of toddlers when the subject comes up in conversation. Moms need to know that it is healthy and within the range of normal.

Did you practice child led weaning with your child? … Keep Reading!!!

In light of the tragic escalator video that surfaced this week I started looking into escalator injuries. I saw too many comments about how that would never happen here; That safety standards are just too high here and must be sub par in China because, well simply because it’s China and not us. What I found was pretty alarming.

In the US, there are roughly 33,000 escalators currently operating, far less than the number of elevators, yet injuries occur 15 … Keep Reading!!!

Happy National Orgasm Day! We thought we’d get in the spirit of the day with a few facts about the magic O… and I don’t mean Oprah.

1. It takes 10-20 minutes of foreplay/stimulation for the average woman to reach her orgasm. Pretty quick. I mean it is basically half as long as it takes to get through an episode of Ballers. (But it would probably be even quicker if Dwayne Johnson was controlling this event as well. 😉 )… Keep Reading!!!

(Featured image: “Madonna-Whore complex” –source)

My husband requested that I write a post about sex and parenting because it bugs him that the majority of society doesn’t understand “attachment parenting” and makes assumptions about the sex lives of the parents who practice attachment parenting (AP).

When I starting writing this post, I questioned: Why would other people feel it is in their place to comment on other’s sex lives when they know nothing about it? I believe that … Keep Reading!!!
