Kimya Dawson's favorite parenting websites

In Issue 46, musician Kimya Dawson shared some of her all-natural parenting tips with Paste. In addition to sign language and potty code, here are some of the best website she's visited since becoming pregnant with her daughter, Panda. 

Mothering.com
“It has amazing support forums for people who are trying to conceive and people who experience pregnancy loss, and pregnancy clubs where you can talk to other people who are at the same stages of pregnancy as you so you feel less alone. There are baby forums, toddler forums, and natural parenting forums, and forums for trading stuff. I got tons of secondhand stuff there.”

“I prefer to have natural, bleach-free, chemical-free, plastic-free stuff touching her skin, and the skin that the diaper is covering is really delicate and permeable. A lot of the toxic stuff in disposable diapers can go in through their skin down there, and that scares me. And the amount of diapers used every day—that much waste going into the landfill is depressing.”

“He makes really beautiful wooden kitchen toys.”
