|  "Baby
Bjorn Front-Pack Carrier"
“We love carrying our baby in this
front pack and have used it nearly every day since she was born
8 months ago. We used it in the beginning to keep her close to
us as we did light chores around the house and daily walks outside.
She just loved snuggling close to our chests as we walked or
moved around. If she was fussy, the Baby Bjorn calmed her down
immediately! As she has grown, we continue to go for walks carrying
her, and we also use the Baby Bjorn while hiking.”
"Breathable
Bumper"
“We were encouraged to remove our daughter’s
crib bumpers due to the risk of SIDS. My daughter was a very
active sleeper from the beginning and made her way around the
whole crib. We were awakened numerous times during the night
due to legs or arms caught between the crib slats. I also didn't
like how open the big crib felt without a bumper. The Breathable
Bumper was a wonderful compromise that saved our precious sleep”.
"Bumbo
Baby Seat"

to fit a baby’s posture. “I could not have survived
the "I want to sit up but can't" phase without it” Also

“Bundle Me” car seat cover
“I like to give this car seat cover/
snuggle suit, especially if you have your baby in the wintertime.
It is so nice to have a warm blanket attached to the car seat carrier
and/or stroller.”
"Corolle Calin Doll"
A great gift for the new older sibling. My older daughter loved hers.
“I have long experience with these dolls as my 12yo had one when she was little. Not terribly expensive, wonderful quality (machine washable), and decidedly the most huggable doll on the market for small hands. We got one for my 2yo before his new sister arrived. We showed him how to put his baby in the bouncy seat, swing, changing table, etc. Now that his sister is here, he loves to follow me around and take care of his baby while I take care of his sister.”

and is trying to climb out of the crib.
"DreamKuddle"

buddy for children 2 1/2 and up. pippenhilldesigns.com
"First
Years Feeding Seat"
“We didn't have room in our kitchen for
a full-size high chair, so we got this instead. Turns out we love
it since it fits on a regular kitchen chair and allows our baby
to sit at the table with us (regular high chairs are too big/high).
And there are the added bonuses that it costs about 1/5 of a regular
high chair, and is portable.”
"Floppy
Seat"
"These are softer and bigger than some
of the other shopping cart covers that are out there. Plus, they
have pocket on the inside so that you can put your child's toys,
snacks, sippy cup inside. My son loves his floppy seat."
"Fuzzi
Bunz cloth diapers"
“I recently gave birth to child #5. I
was trying to find ways to be frugal and I came upon these “modern
cloth diapers”. They work just like disposables (no pins,
just snaps) except of course you have to launder them. Not only
are they easy to use but you will save yourself thousands of dollars
(literally)!”

during my daughter’s early teething days.”
"Kangaroo

“I have twins that are 6 months old.

“Peanut
Shell baby carrier by Goo-Ga”
“The jersey stretch and microfleece
varieties are my favorite. These baby slings are small enough
to throw in your diaper bag. Since there are no adjustable
parts it also doubles as a blanket and is very simple to use.
My microfleece sling is the softest most comfortable thing
I can put my baby in. She loves it.”

“Pelican
bibs”
“They are a great bib that catches all
of my little eater's crumbs. They are plastic so they wash easily,
have an adjustable neck opening and come in an assortment of colors.
They are very inexpensive ($7, I believe) and last forever. I give
them to all my friends at showers and tell them that when their
little one gets to be eating on his own, they will definitely appreciate
my gift! And they do!”
"Pure
Baby Eczema Care"
“This is a wonderful cream for baby’s
and Mom’s eczema. When my daughter developed eczema around
6 weeks old, I tried all the recommendations from the doctor, but
they didn’t work. The rash got worse and she scratched her
face more. I found this and it is amazing. It’s fragrance
and dye free, it’s not greasy, it just soaks right in and
doesn’t leave a trace of residue.”

“Snap
and Go stroller frame”
“This product is great when your baby
is in an infant seat. It is light, has a big basket and fits well
between crowded store aisles.”
“Table
Toppers”
“Table Topper stay in place mat...these
are disposable placemats with Sesame Street, Blues Clues or Dora
the Explorer pictures on them. You put them on the table (they
stick to the table) when you're out to eat and then your child
can eat off of them and you don't have to worry about what germs
might be on the table. We eat out a lot and these are a lifesaver.
They also work great for eating at a park on a picnic table.”
"Tiny
Diner placemat "
“An affordable, portable way to have
baby eat at a restaurant with you. We've gotten tons of use (and
complements!) on ours. Plus it's easy to clean and reusable again
and again.”
"Travel ‘n
Trundle"
Our daughter recently graduated to sleeping
in her own crib instead of with us and we didn’t want to
go back to having her sleep with us when we traveled. At 20 months,
she had become too active a sleeper for her port-a-crib, plus
it’s a really heavy item to take on a plane. We found this
portable bed that is the same size as her crib, has foam bumpers
that help keep her in the bed and is so light our daughter can
carry it around. It fits in a standard duffel bag for travel
on the airplane and was easily strapped to our other luggage.
We took it to San Diego, Palm Springs, Louisiana, and even Camping!

“Tuff
Stuff” tape player by Fisher Price
“This is one of my favorite products
along with a nice supply of children’s books on tape, and
music tapes too. This sturdy little player is very easy for a toddler
to learn to use and great for those bedtimes when he wants “one
more book!, one more book!”. Nothing replaces the snuggly
time we have reading together, but with his own tape player, my
son can control what “extra” stories and songs he gets
to listen to each night after we say goodnight, as he winds down
to blissful sleep.”
“Ultimate Crib Sheets”
These
are great! They are a sheet, waterproof liner and mattress pad all
in one. You put it over your decorative fitted sheet and attach it
with snaps that go around the crib railings. This makes for easy sheet
changing. Buy two so that you can wash one while using the other.
Sound
Machines and White Noise Makers
“This is great in my daughter’s room. I recently
bought one for my room and found that it puts me into a really,
really deep sleep too. I don’t wake up when my husband
snores or the cat snuggles up to me.”
