Steal That Style: Zip It Up With Fall's Hottest Hoodies

Celebrity Baby Blog – Steal That Style

The early fall season can often be touch and go when it comes to dressing your children for the day. While a t-shirt may be perfect for the mid-day sun, waiting for the school bus in the morning or playing outside in the evening with bare arms just won’t do!

Fortunately, the go-to layering look for most parents has become a hit in the fashion world and with the cool fall nights upon us, more often than not, that top layer will be none other than a warm hoodie. Although younger kids may initially struggle with zip-up hoodies, many catch on quickly, at least when it comes to taking them off. Unlike the traditional sweatshirt, hoodies are a great option as kids can leave them unzipped to let air ventilate when they feel too warm.

We’ve spotted some of our favorite celebrity babies around town the past few weeks, all in full-swing for the crisp days of fall. Decked out in purple, Honor Marie Warren topped off her ensemble with a matching hoodie while out on a lunch date with mom Jessica Alba early last month; Keeping it casual, 14-month-old Levi Alves McConaughey wasn’t afraid to roll up his sleeves on the way to the beach with grandma in August; James Wilkie Broderick stayed warm and cozy in a bright red hoodie during his morning walk to school with mom Sarah Jessica Parker last week.

Jennifer Hudson Calls Motherhood the 'Best Feeling in the World'

More than a month into motherhood — she welcomed her first child David Daniel on August 11th — and Jennifer Hudson is still coming to terms with the fact that she and her fiancé David Otunga are parents. “Oh my God, I’m somebody’s mother now,” the 28-year-old exclaimed during a recent appearance on Oprah.

“It is the best feeling in the world, no words can describe it.”

While she may have pored over baby books prior to welcoming her son, Jennifer laughs that the countless pages all overlooked an important piece of information: the acknowledgment that new moms may turn into nervous Nellies!

“One thing they don’t warn you about is … how your nerves shoot up,” the singer and actress says.

“Now I worry about every single thing: ‘Oh my God, what would happen if I sit him here, then he could fall and this could happen and that could happen.’ I worry like crazy.”

Jenna Elfman Expecting Baby No. 2

Kevin Brooks/AdMedia

Less than one month after revealing she “definitely” intends to become a mom-of-two, Jenna Elfman is making good on her promise.

During an appearance Wednesday morning on CBS’ The Early Show, the Accidentally on Purpose actress, 37, revealed that she is expecting her second child with husband Bodhi Elfman.

“I have a baby in my tummy — but a real one, not just for my TV show,” she shared. “My character’s pregnant the whole first season, so I said, ‘It’s a good time to have another baby, because we won’t have to hide it.’”

On the show, Jenna plays a woman that becomes pregnant by a much younger one-night stand, who then moves in with her. Eagle-eyed viewers should keep an eye out for her own burgeoning bump, Jenna jokes. “By episode three if you look closely once it airs, you’ll see … ‘Oh is she a little bloated? Did she have a big dinner?’”

The couple — already parents to 2-year-old Story Elias — were married in 1995.

Accidentally on Purpose premieres Monday, September 21 at 8:30 p.m. on CBS.

Motherlove Herbal Nipple Cream: Soothing and Safe

You won’t need a lot of Motherlove Herbal Nipple Cream ($10/1 oz. tub) to protect or soothe raw breastfeeding nipples.  I ruined my expensive nursing bras with a less expensive and stickier nipple cream that felt like and acted like glue!

Made from 100% organic and natural ingredients including marshmallow root, calendula, olive oil, shea butter and beeswax, it doesn’t contain lanolin which is derived from sheeps’ wool like many other salves. However, it does contain beeswax so it’s not vegan.

It is totally safe for the nursing baby to ingest and actually smells quite nice too. I have very sensitive and dry skin and could not have survived nursing for the first few months without this salve.

It also makes a nice gift for a first-time mom who plans on nursing. And you can use it as a diaper cream too!
