Changing Station, for the Floor

Hello All, I am currently sharing a bedroom with a 2-month old and since space is a little bit of an issue (we have enough room to fit a huge king sized bed and a huge convertable crib comfortably and nicely) we didn't buy a changing table. Right now I am just changing our baby on the floor on a small mat with his diaper changing 'supplies' in a small basket nearby. I am a VERY organized person and I like everything in its place so I am looking into putting together a little changing station on the floor by his crib to make it look a...

Baby Boy Wont Go Poopie!!!!

I am soooooo frustrated! My 4 month old son is not having regular bowel movements and no one seems to care! I've talked to my pediatrician and haven't really been able to resolve the issue. Up until 6 weeks he was fine, after that, things changed. He was mostly breast fed (75-80%) and supplemented maybe once a day for the first three months. After that, I went back to work and now he is exclusively formula fed. While breast feeding, he was going once or twice a week. At that time the pediatrician said that he was probably absorbing...

Stylish and Functional Diaper Bag???

Does one exist? Baby will be here in a few weeks and I am still unprepared. Going through my list of things I'll need and this is one of them. Don't want the typical diaper bag (you know, the types that *look* like a diaper bag), something that looks more fashionable and less baby-ish. Thanks in advance!.

Best Odor Reducing Diaper Pail?

What is the best diaper pail to reduce odors? We currently have the Diaper Champ, but the smells come out every time we add another diaper. I've tried adding baking soda in the liner & odor freshners. After a day, it's bad again. Since we're soon to have 2 babies in diapers, I'd really like to find one that works better.

Causes of Diaper Rash

Hi! My son recently turned one and has started having problems with developing diaper rash. Up until now, we haven't had too much of a problem with this but recently it has become an ongoing issue. I always change his diaper as soon as I know that it is soiled so I don't think this is the issue. I have talked to his peditrician about what could be causing the flare ups and was told that it could be a reaction to something that he is eating. He informed me the only way to find out which food was causing the reaction was to start all...

What to Do with Dirty Diapers?

My little girl is almost 4 months old. She is our first. We have a garbage pail with a lid right now in the baby room that we are tossing the dirty diapers in. We are reusing our plastic bags we get from the grocery store in the pail. It is small so we need to take it out almost every day. Right now our little girl sleeps in our room. She is getting ready to move to the crib pretty soon. My concern is the smell that sometimes seems to creep up on us from the diaper pail. Once she is sleeping in the same room as the diaper pail I don...

Cleaning Wipes for Breast/nipple and for Medela Pump Parts and Storage Bags

Hi, I'm stocking up for breastfeeding supplies and wanted to know... Do I have to use the cleansing pads specifically sold to clean your breast before breastfeeding or can I use baby wipes or other natural wipes instead? What about cleaning the Medela breast pump parts? They sell a specific wipe just for that too. Can I use something else? Does anyone have a recommendation for something I can use for all of these purposes? Lastly, I'm looking for recommendations on breast storage bags. I heard about Gerber, Lansinoh and Medela...
