I recently made my first baby sling. I put my 22 1/2 lb. 19 month old in it, and she didn’t break it. I call it a success; however I will make a few changes on the next one.

I found the following links for car seat reviews for size infant, combination, toddler & booster helpful when choosing a child car seat.

My friend was looking for a tandem stroller so I started to research them for myself as well.

What I found was that there was a lot of information, but it was not in a nice neat location with all the data I wanted. I wanted the dimension of the strollers folded so I would know if it would fit in my trunk. I also wanted to know what the open dimensions were to know if it could fit through a doorway. I also wanted to know what the extra features were so I could take in all the possibilities of all the strollers out there.

I think I found an inexpensive and good solution for a stroller drink holder for mom and cup & snack holder for baby.

I don’t have a bottle holder on the Peg P3 nor does Belle have a cup holder. I also hate the parent cup holder on my Graco Single and double strollers. They do not seem to be deep enough for a water bottle. The water bottle either falls out or jostles around excessively making me hold the bottle the whole time I am walking.

After purchasing our play yard we realized that the weight should have been a deciding factor because we travel with it enough to be a pain in the back. However, after some quick research I realized our play yard is one of the lighter ones found at retail stores, but it isn’t the lightest.

The ultimate lightweight play yard is the Compass Light & Portable Playard & Bassinet. It can set up in less than 1 minute and it has the bassinet. At only 21.5 lb. with the Bassinet, this is the best play yard for the famliy on the go. With the price difference only being in the shipping cost of less than $20.00 for the lower 48, it is more than worth the extra money for the lighter weight play yard.

You will also be put on mailing lists; however you will also receive coupons for discounts off formula.

Infant Potty Training is a method of start to take your child to eliminate on a toilet or other receptacle starting early in life. I started potty training my DD regularly at 2 ½ months. My reasoning for doing this was that it is done successfully in 80% of the world where they spend more time with their children; I wanted to wash less diapers, and I HATE changing soiled diapers.

At the beginning I only had about 60% success with keeping her diaper dry. This success rate has increased dramatically over the past few months as she seems to void less during the day and she is voiding on the potty more. She also seems to understand that she is going potty. Recently, she has shown signs that she knows to go potty when we say her potty signal. In the last week I have also stopped using a diaper while at home during the day, except for naps, with great success on the potty and my clean floors.

Whether or not you plan on using formula, you may want to ask for pre-mixed formula sample bottles when you’re at the hospital and pediatrician’s office.

The bottles can fit onto Medela or Ameda breast pumps, and the lids are wonderful because they are made from 1 piece.

There are many articles that explain how to manually express Human Breast Milk.
I have found it to be a valuable tool and have discovered that it can empty my breast the best.
