Hotslings: Babywearing That's CoolFull Bloom Hotsling In A Nutshell: One thing about babywearing -- it can be hot! And not in a good way. Press a little bundle of 98 degrees against your skin on warm day and things get uncomfortable fast. Unless of course, you're using a Hotsling ($30-60), which despite its name, is very cool. Why It's Great: These cloth slings are essentially loops of fabric that carry your baby on one hip, off of one shoulder. They're lightweight and chic -- look at all these pattern choices! They come in nine sizes; once you find one to fit your body, there's no pesky adjustment buckles to deal with. You just slip over your head, slip the baby in, and go. Click here to see instructions and wearing techniques. Downside: Slings can be a bit tricky to get on with babies over six months old. Once the little ones get more mobile, you'll want to keep an arm wrapped around them for support during squiggles. -- Angela M. Click here to check out more babywearing reviews!

Drew's high-school sweetheart and wife of seven years, Lea, tells Us,Drew takes part in every aspect of his girl's life. Changing diapers is not a big thing for him at all, and he wrote her a lullaby, which he always sings to her when he puts her down at night. We love taking picnics, watching the ducks, and a lot of times, it's the two of them in the backyard exploring (little things like leaves and rocks are a big deal to her!). Drew loves taking pictures. I mean, Drew is the love of my life, but having a child changes everything. Your bond is even more intense.Drew's new hosting gig, Dance War: Bruno Vs.

Drew Lachey Motivated by Daughter to Head the Magical Veggie ChallengeBrad Barket/Getty Having your husband as a top contestant on Dancing With the Starswould make any wife feel proud, but when in the final stages of pregnancy and being filmed regularly for the show, other feelings can also come in to play. Former 98 degrees member Drew Lacheyjokes that his wife Lea"loves that everybody remembers her at 8 ½ months pregnant." Shortly after Drew was crowned winner of the show, the couple welcomed their first child, daughter Isabella Claire, now 2 ½. Now full swing into toddlerhood, Drew shares that Isabella is "going through her growing pains" which often means that sometimes "she wants to eat [her veggies], sometimes she doesn't, [and] sometimes we have to sneak them in." The realization that getting kids to eat right can often be a struggle led Drew to lead the Magical Veggie Challenge, a contest that challenges kids to "rewrite the old schoolyard chant" of "beans, beans, the magical fruit, the more you eat them, the more you....whatever," laughs Drew. The catch? The song must be a minute long and include the words 'veggie' (as Drew points out that beans are not a fruit!) and 'beans, beans.' Calling the idea a "fun way to get awareness out there," the 32-year-old will crown the winner on February 18th in New York City. When asked if more children are in the couple's future, Drew -- who says "fatherhood's obviously the most important job" -- said that he and Lea are considering it "not today, but eventually!"
