Legendary singer and proud mama Madonna may reserve most of her Instagram posts for saucy selfies, but she never misses a chance to post a photo of her babies. Whether it’s a one-off video of one of the kids or a family photo featuring Lourdes Leon, 25, Rocco Ritchie, 21, Mercy James, 16, David Banda Mwale, 16, and twins Estere and Stella, 8 — we can’t get enough. But as second-eldest daughter Mercy James turns 17 years old, we’re digging deep through the Madonna archives for some of our favorite pics of the quickly-growing teen....

Deciding who you want involved in the labor and delivery of your child, and even just present in the hospital waiting room, is a very personal choice for expectant parents. Some pregnant women want just their partner and any support staff in the delivery toom, while others want their entire extended families there — maybe even more watching on Zoom! A sister of a pregnant woman, however, recently posted a situation on Reddit’s AITA forum that explained how she ended up in a challenging situation about whether to involve their dad and stepmom when her sister’s labor and delivery took a turn for the worse....

As people across the world joined in protests against police brutality over the weekend, demanding justice for George Floyd, many of the headlines focused on violent stand-offs. But there was another story happening at many of the peaceful demonstrations held on Saturday and Sunday: Parents were bringing their children, teaching them a valuable, if scary, lesson about fighting for racial equality. This very notion might seem difficult for us to digest now, after months of keeping our children sheltered at home from the coronavirus....

I hate flying — from the tight seats, to the skinny aisles, to the unsettling knowledge that my only reasonable exit is in a terminal thousands of miles away. Just the sound of a cabin door closing makes me sweat through my shirt. This fear has never actually caused me to cancel a trip (it just fills me with dread for months leading up to the event). But now I have a one-year-old, and I’m nervous my toddler will notice my anxiety the next time we take a flight....

Around the country, Black Lives Matter activists and allies have gathered to peacefully protest the killing of George Floyd, a Black man, by a white police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The uprising is also calling for systemic change and accountability for widespread police brutality and anti-Black racism, and for white people and non-Black people to educate themselves and do better.On Twitter, former First Lady Michelle Obama said she was “exhausted by a heartbreak that never seems to stop....

In the wake of the horrifying massacre at a Texas elementary school yesterday, there has been no shortage of opinions on social media from politicians, celebrities, and private citizens alike. Most messages share a tone of horror at yesterday’s tragedy, but beyond that, there are essentially two camps on Twitter: Those who believe stricter gun control laws are a necessity to keep our children safe, and those who don’t. While Kim Kardashian has often toed a careful line in not making her political positions overly clear (like declining to endorse President Joe Biden before his election, even though ex-husband Kanye West promoted opponent Donald Trump), it seems a line has been crossed for the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star....

Racial gaps and disparities in medicine and health outcomes in the United States remain pervasive — particularly among women and children. A new Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) report analyzing fatal cases of coronavirus among people 21 and under sheds new light on what these disparities mean in a global pandemic disproportionately affecting people of color and low income people. According to the report examining cases reported to the CDC from mid-February to late July of 2020 (more than 390,000 cases and 121 deaths), a staggering 78 percent of the children who died from coronavirus (COVID-19 and MIS-C — the multi-system inflammatory syndrome identified earlier this year — cases) were children of color....

A pile of laundry is stacked against the hallway wall. Only a metal baby gate separates my twin daughters, who are nine months and more curious than ever, from the mound of socks and T-shirts I moved out of reach earlier this morning. I tell myself that the pile of clothes, which has been there for days, is still technically freshly laundered… but of course the girls have rummaged through the items and gummed at the soles of no fewer than three pairs of wool socks....

This was going to be a depressing article. It was going to look back at the mass shooting at Columbine High School in 1999 and then at all the others that have happened since, wondering why we still haven’t solved the problem of gun violence in this country. But if you’re here, you’ve probably clicked on and read articles like that before. They probably made you incredibly angry, sad, scared, and maybe even hopeless....

These days the term self-care seems to be applied to anything that can bear a price tag and theoretically make you feel good. From gold leaf facials to boutique celebrity fitness classes, modern self-care has strayed far from its origins. The term, coined in 1950, has deep medical roots. Its original purpose was to help institutionalized patients gain some physical independence by completing simple tasks that created a sense of self-worth....

A comforter can determine what kind of sleep you’re going to get. If you’re a hot sleeper with a hot comforter, you’ll wake up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat. On the flip side, cold sleepers will suffer if their comforter isn’t heavy enough and wake up freezing. Oh, and then there’s the people who can’t sleep without some weight on them, requiring a hefty comforter. In addition to all of those comforter demands, a sleeper with allergies will need a hypoallergenic cover....
