An A-List Interview: Traci Fleming of Nurseryworks

traci flemming children

This week’s A-List interview features Traci Fleming, a working mom who was inspired by parenting to help other parents build beautiful nurseries. As a fellow pioneer in modern baby, it’s been fun to see Traci grow Nurseryworks into the well-loved brand that it is.

Part of Nurseryworks’ unique appeal is the fact that they bring a more accessible approach to “modern,” blending a contemporary aesthetic with softer lines. Now that I’m reminded of Traci’s Southern roots, perhaps more of her upbringing is reflected in her work than I realized!

Breastfeeding and Taking Medication

Be thankful for modern medicine. It can get us through a common cold and is often critical when managing a chronic condition. But when you’re breastfeeding, every medication can get into your breast milk. While some medicines are compatible with breastfeeding, others are not. So what’s a mom to do?

Playground Culture

When we first moved to New York, one of the first things that I noticed that was so blatantly different than the Bay Area was the playground life. On the weekdays, most (seven out of ten) children are accompanied by nannies. Saturdays are a mix, and on Sundays there are mostly fathers with their kids. In the Bay Area, there are definitely nannies, but not the full-time kind (usually, of course there are some).

Parents – Are You Awake?

With parenthood comes a most spectacular wake-up call.  Are you awake?

For almost 20 years, Healthy Child Healthy World has witnessed the “light-bulb moment” of millions of parents when they learn that their homes, their environments, and their own bodies have been unknowingly contaminated by toxic chemicals. It’s unthinkable that the government hasn’t been protecting our families, and that industry has greedily swept aside concern for public health in the face of profit.

What to Wear: Postpartum Edition

What_to_Wear_Postpartum_Edition_Parent_Talk

I wish I could say that the first few times you leave the house will be the only times you need to figure out how to dress your postpartum body, but the truth is that your size and shape will be, how shall we say… extra curvy for some time. Yes, things will be much better in six months, but if we led you to believe you’d be wearing your old jeans in one month’s time, we would not be very good guides to new motherhood.

Here are a few tips and ideas for what to wear when you go out and about with your new baby. More »

Two decades ago diapers were just… well diapers! When it came to disposables you had a choice between a couple of brands at the grocery store, or if you were a “crunchy granola” mom, you could always go for the traditional pre-folds and vinyl covers. Fast forward to 2011 and you have a trend that looks like it is here to stay – The Designer Diaper.

Parents are now shopping for pre-folds with cute covers, hybrids, all-in-ones and pocket diapers in adorable prints and luxurious fabrics. It’s like clothes shopping but for diapers!
