Kaitlin Olson Has Fingers Crossed for a Homebirth

When it comes time to deliver her first child — a baby boy! — this month, Kaitlin Olson has her heart set on a homebirth.

“I decided on a homebirth because I believe that as long as a pregnancy is normal and complication-free, your body knows what to do, and does not need medical intervention,” the Always Sunny in Philadelphia star, 34, tells Best for Babes.

“I believe I’ll be most relaxed and feel safest in my home, with an amazing nurse-midwife monitoring the baby and me the entire time, of course.”

Olson’s own mother, the founder of Earth Mama Angel Baby, opted for a homebirth as well and while the expectant mama admits the natural lifestyle is “normal” to her, she also understands the need for hospital care.

“I think hospitals are amazing, valuable places, and I’m incredibly grateful to have access to Western medicine! I just don’t think that childbirth is a medical problem that needs intervention unless there is a complication,” she explains.

Deciphering the ingredients in sunscreen is enough to make any mom or dad cringe.

Fortunately parents don’t need to worry about lathering their kids — or themselves! — up this season thanks to Marie Veronique‘s new Kid Safe Screen ($24).

Made with extracts from green and white tea, as well as, avocado and sunflower oil, it’s designed to block both UVA and UVB rays.

Plus, it blends in easily (bye, bye greasy lotion!) and smells delish without any added fragrances.

Pit stop!

After loading up on shopping bags, Amy Poehler took a much-needed time-out on her walk home through the West Village on Tuesday.

Too bad Will Arnett wasn’t around to lend a helping hand!

Maybe he was getting in some last-minute father-son bonding time with Archie, 21 months, before the couple welcome their second child this summer.
