Kylie Jenner opens up about battling ‘major’ postpartum depression
One of the things we know to be true about postpartum is that it can affect anyone—including celebrities. In a new interview with British Vogue about her experiences being a young mom, Kylie Jenner got candid about her battles against postpartum depression that lasted around a year after she gave birth to both of her […]
Giving tablets to toddlers linked to anger issues later in life, study shows
For years now, we’ve been hearing about the dangers of tablet use kids having too much screen time. And anyone who’s spent any time with young kids knows that a tantrum or angry outburst once in a while is pretty much unavoidable when they’re a certain age. But new research shows a potential link between young children who use tablets and difficulty managing emotions — particularly when it comes to anger and outbursts.
Pumping can help extend the overall breastfeeding time of an infant, new study shows
According to a new study from the Yale School of Medicine, pumping could help breastfeeding mothers provide milk to their babies for longer. The study showed that people who used pumps provided human milk to their babies for 21 weeks longer than those who didn’t pump, on average. Considering both the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the World Health Organization (WHO) suggest breastfeeding children for at least two years when possible, this is promising news for parents who either struggle with lactation cessation or who can’t breastfeed because of work or other obligations.
Olympian Jordan Chiles’ mom is calling out ‘disgusting’ racism aimed at her daughter online
In case you haven’t been following, Jordan Chiles competed in the individual floor exercise final last week for the U.S. Olympics gymnastics team, where she originally finished in fifth place with a score of 13.666. However, her coach submitted an inquiry claiming that Chiles’ difficulty score was lower than it should have been, and the judges agreed they had made a mistake and raised her final score to 13.766, which leapfrogged Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu and won Chiles the Bronze medal—her first individual Olympic medal.
Disney’s ‘Toy Story 5’ plot revealed—and it’s coming for your heartstrings
Toy Story has always been my emotional support franchise. I mean, these movies have been there through every stage of parenting, like little animated therapy sessions. Seriously, it’s like Pixar reached into my mom brain and pulled out all the feels—growing up, letting go, and all that fun stuff that makes you cry salty tears into your popcorn. So when I heard that Toy Story 5 is going to tackle the toys competing with kids’ love of technology, my heart dropped a little, and not just because I’m still emotionally recovering from Toy Story 3 (I mean, that incinerator scene—come on, Pixar, why do you do this to us?).
Colin Farell opens up about his son’s rare diagnosis and their new foundation to help others
Colin Farrell may be used to being in the spotlight, but throughout his career, he’s largely kept his family life more private. Now, though, he’s speaking out more about his 20-year-old son, James, who has Angelman syndrome, a rare neurogenetic disorder. James is nonverbal and has a live-in caretaker, and before he turns 21, Farrell has started a foundation to support other families with adult children with intellectual disabilities.
