Baby Gear You Can't Live Without

Hi Moms! I was wondering what are some baby gear items that you can't live without or just make life easier? My cousin (who is more my sister than anything, her parents took me in when I was younger, and we are super close)is having her first child in August, and he will be a boy. I have a 15 mo old girl so the boy stuff is very foreign to me. I want to help her by getting her stuff that will really help and not just stuff that will be passed on with minimal useage. I know what my favorites are, and was just wondering what yours were....

Car Seat Napping - Safe?

Hello- My now 11 week old has graduated from 'bouncy chair' napping to car seat. I understand some moms do this and doctors recommend it (for acid reflux issues) but am double-checking on the safety of this practice, as I have read articles that the car seat should be used in a car only. Ideally, this should be the case, but I feel sleep is just as important to her well-being. I do not strap her in while she is napping & feel the incline is similar to a bouncy chair. She has been going down in her crib for bedtime (graduated...

Swaddlegate - the Unswaddling of My 4 Month Old

My baby will turn 4 months in a week. For the past 3 weeks, he's been busting out of every swaddle we have tried for him. The miracle blanket, the Snug and Tug, the Kiddapotamus, etc. He doesn't bust out of it necessarily, but he figures out a way to wiggle one or both arms out. When he was 3 months old, we tried unswaddling him for several nights and he was completely overtired because his startle reflex would usually keep him awake. So we ditched that idea after 5 days and 4 nights of barely any sleep. But now, he busts out...

Mommy and Baby Products

I just had a quick question. I have several family members who are going to be having babies here really soon. I have my ideas of what to get them but I am requesting others ideas. So my questions are if you were given a mommy and bay basket at he hospital what products or things would you just want to have in it? Also what item or product could you absolutely not live without with a newborn? What item or product that you did not want at all? Thanks a head of time for the input I appreciate it. Aloha M.

When & How to Stop Swaddling

When and how did you stop swaddling your baby? My little girl is almost 13 weeks old and sleeps in the Miracle Blanket. The makers suggest ending swaddling from 14-16 weeks, and yesterday I tried to put her in her crib for a nap without it. She will not go to sleep unless she is swaddled. She can break out if she wants but usually only if she is uncomfortable I think. I would much rather transition out of swaddling, but don't know how to get her to sleep without it. I read somewhere to start to loosen the swaddle, but that sounds like...
