Baby Dust Diaries

Infertility. No one thinks it will happen to them. In reality, fertility – something we take for granted – is a miraculously coordinated orchestra of hormones and timing. In couples suffering from infertility (IF) a part (or parts) of the orchestra are not playing in key. Just one wrong note makes the seemingly simple task of procreation extremely difficult. For 9 years I was a mother without a baby. Now, with my miracle IVF baby, I’m transitioning into the wonderful world of parenthood with a dose of “parenting after infertility.” I am a new mother like any other – exploring the world of attachment parenting - babywearing, breastfeeding, cosleeping – and maximizing my baby daughter’s health. I’m passionate about gentle discipline and feel strongly that no parent should ever need to hit their child. I’ve been a homeschool advocate since I was 14 years old but I guess now that I have a child I can call my self a homeschooler? Or do I need to wait until she’s 6? :)
