Are my list okay to bring and have for traveling/flying wit an almost 1 year old baby?




mma


okay here are my list that I'm thinking to bring, we are going to hawaii for my son's 1st Birthday;
-Car seat
-1 big luggage
-stroller

and then Carryon big backpack
-diapers, extra clothing, food, water, bottles, milk, toys, blanket, jacket/sweater, sippy cup,wipes, bibs,juice, his favorite classical music,earphone.
for now this is all i can think of, if you guys can give me some more tips & information that would be great.

thanks a bunch.
oh no food just for my baby while on the plane I'm not that. LOL



Answer
You've got a good list there.

you might want a sling/back carrier, as you'll have to carry him off the plane after landing and you don't get your stroller back until you get to the carousel. Do you need cutlery for him? You can get travel sets in little cases that are very handy.

for food, consider pouches of puree as they're easier to use. Take little finger snacks. Not only for eating, but they also take a bit of time up too.

make sure none of his toys make noise!

in the uk, you have to taste some of the food and milk as you go through security control before getting on the aeroplane, so make sure it's all resealable.

have a good flight!

Need review for the baby items...?

Hi all...I am in my third trimester. I am going to register baby items at Babies r us this weekend. This is my first baby and I am not sure which items and brands should I pick is safe and comfortble for my baby and pricewise reasonable too. Please give me the review about the baby items and items I do need must. Thank you all.
Thank you all ....for sparing your precious time and giving me lots of information in detail. I am new in this country and first time mom. So, not much idea how to choose the right baby items. But your patience and support helped me alot to select the right things for my baby too instead of wasting money. I am going to print out all those information and check out those items in the store. Once again thank you.



Answer
I highly suggest taking a (relatively) new mom with you to register. My sister (who had a 2 year old at the time) went with me to register and she was a HUGE Help.

Here are a few suggestions.

There has been a lot of press recently about car seats so I'm sure you can google which ones are safest. The one that sticks in my head (b/c it's the one we have) is Graco Snug and ride. I would recomend getting a Snap and Go base so that you can turn the carseat into a stoller.

The crib is totally a matter of taste. We chose the Da Vinci Roxanne because I liked that it could transition into a toddler bed and I liked that it had a drawer under it.

If you get a changing table, make sure it has safety straps (so that baby can't roll off it). We choose the Da Vinci Roxanne changing table dresser combo.

Actually.... I still have my list that has prices and brands that I wanted. I can paste it here -- sorry.... it's going to be long.

Furniture
â Crib â (Da Vinci Roxanne with drawer and conversion kit) $260
â Mattress for Crib â
â Fitted sheets for crib (jersey knit) â 2-3 $10 each

â Dresser/ Changing table combo (Da Vinci Roxanne 3 drawer Baby Changer with safety strap) $240
â Changing pad & pad covers â 3 covers $10-15 each cover/$23 for pad
â Glider chair (Storkcraft sleigh glider â Cherry wood/beige cushion) $199
â Ottoman for glider (storkcraft) $70
â Hanging bookshelf (idea to hand shelf 12â to 18â below the ceiling around room to add lots of display and storage space)

Room Accessories
â Crib mobile (electric â the wind up ones stop to fast) Be careful what you pick out b/c all mobiles will not work with Da Vinci crib $40-$50
â Video Monitor (Summer infant Products: Day and Night Video handheld monitor) $170
â Baskets (for odds and ends â blankets, cloths, dirty laundry) $20+

Traveling With Baby
â Infant car seat with detachable base (MoTH recommends Graco Infant Snug-ride) $100 for seat $40 for x-tra base
â Stroller (Car seat stroller frame) with zip up blanket(???) MoTH recommends Snap and Go frame for stroller $60
â MoTH also recommends Bugaboo Frog â too expensive
â Baby jogger (MoTH recommends City Series â yikes expensive)
â Front carrier (bjorn - wrap is more comfy)
â Baby back pack (for when baby is older & no longer in bjorn Justine offered hers)
â Pack N Play $100


Playing With Baby
â Activity gym $40
â Bouncy Seat/exercauser (Baby Bjorn Baby Sitter) $100

Clothes

â Baby Manicure set >$5
â Alcohol swabs >$5
â Q-tips >$5
â Cotton balls >$5
â Desitin >$10 ?
â Organizer for changing table $15 + - (Maybe either get a basket or hanging Koala organizer â maybe get both)
â Cloth diapers (for clean-up rags/changing table) â 4 $12 for pack of 12
â Diaper bag/baby sherpa backpack $25+ Look at the Koala Black Messenger back with pink accent/ Eddie Bauer and plain black messenger
â Diapers â donât get too many til know what he likes â we used pampers swadlers
â Vaseline & gauze pads
â Wet wipes
â Baby Tylenol
â Thermometer (rectal) >$10

Strollers are making me go insane?




FunkyMonke


So i have a high risk pregnancy and an overly cautious and slightly superstious husband, so i am 23 weeks and i have bought NOTHING... this however has been replaced by EXCESSIVE amounts of research on baby stuff, every freaking baby object you can imagine i have went nuts on reading reviews of, especially strollers. I have read so many blogs, seen so many pictures, i am literally obssessed with this stroller thing, i even read the reviews of European websites and i use a translator sometimes! I thought I had it figured out and settled on the Quinny Buzz + bassinet + Maxi-Cosi-Mico car seat, but then i realized the maxi cosi only lasts to 20 pounds and my friends baby is 22 pounds at 4 months! THen i saw the PEG PEREGO SKATE, and now i think i want that stroller instead. I was obssessed with the Stokke Explorey before i saw the Quinny in the store. I never liked the bugaboo b/c of it folds in two pieces. SO now i am just becoming super confused!!!!!!! What should i do? what stroller do i get? I am getting it later but i want to decide on it now? Please do not tell me i am insane for spending a lot of money on a stroller, i know it is excessive but when i went to Babies R US to look at the basic things like Graco and Evenflo I almost cried. They do not compare, and i do not want to buy another stroller in a year because those fell apart. I live in the city, the stroller has to be sturdy, i do not go on public transport pretty much ever , I do not use a car often, only with my husband (its a stick, i dont know how to drive it) ..... i want a stroller that is forward and rare facing and i want something that will last until child 1 is 4 and then through any other children i will have.
umm the stuff at babies r us sucked. They do not have the same stuff as they do online. They do not have stokke in stores or even bugaboo, atleast not the store i went to
Unfortuanatley i am in the US. The stroller options availabe in Europe just do not compare to anything we have here. The best strollers here are imported from EU, and only few are imported. You guys have the Joolz Bloom out recently, i can not even look at it as no store has it.



Answer
Wow!! You sound like me! I read some of your post to my husband, and he was cracking up because it sounds so similar. I have a huge spreadsheet comparing widths, weights, folds, etc. for a couple dozen different strollers but have pretty much narrowed it down to just a few. We just drove over two hours (each way) yesterday to go stroller shopping for the first time. At the first store, we saw the Orbit Baby, Stokke Xplory, and Quinny Buzz (as well as a less expensive model we didn't like at all called the EasyWalker Sky.) Even though my husband initially ruled out any 3-wheel styles, he loved the Quinny. (It actually has two little wheels instead of 1 in the front center position.) I definitely liked it best of those three. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see the bassinet, which is something we'd definitely get. Then at the second store, we were able to see the Peg Perego Skate and the Bugaboo Cameleon. Well, my husband never, ever thought he'd want to spend $900 for a stroller (when I started my research, he thought even $500 was nutty), but it was seriously love at first sight. He really didn't even want to bother with the Cameleon after seeing the Skate. (In his words, it's like the Ferrari of strollers...the whole "Italian thing".) Like you, I had also ruled out the Bugaboo because of the 2-fold thing, but it's my mom's favorite (because of all the "pretty colors"), so I was trying to be open-minded. The only reservation I had had about the Skate (other than the high price, of course), prior to seeing it, was the weight: 33.7 lbs! But it didn't bother us at all. Like you, this is our first child so maybe we don't really "know" how much of a pain it's going to be to lift it in and out of the car every day. But we're both healthy, strong, fairly athletic people, so we decided it doesn't matter to us. I'd say that the bugaboo maneuvers every-so-slightly better than the Skate but not so much so that we'd consider it over the Skate. Now, the only other "serious contender" is one we haven't been able to see in person: the Uppababy Vista. It's a LOT cheaper and doesn't seem to have any major flaws (other than the 27" width when the regular all-terrain wheels are on it.) My parents (who live elsewhere in the country) have seen both the Skate and the Uppababy. Dad loved the uppababy but forgot why by the time he saw the Skate. (Clearly, he isn't taking this whole "stroller research" thing as seriously as he should!!) They saw the Skate and Cameleon side-by-side. Unfortunately, the salesman who demonstrated them was CLEARLY biased against the Skate and loved the Cameleon. I won't get into everything he said here, since this is already probably too long of a response, but suffice to say that I don't think it was a "fair comparison". So mom left the store still thinking the Bugaboo was still superior. That was disappointing for us, since we were hoping she'd share our "Skate excitement". Anyway, the only stroller other than the Uppababy I haven't seen and still haven't eliminated (based on negative reviews, specs, etc.) is the Bumbleride Queen B. But at this point, I'd say it's likely between the Uppababy and the Skate for us. Perhaps if we saw the Quinny bassinet and loved it, we *might* be tempted to put it back on our short list. But really, that convertible bassinet-seat feature is awesome. The guy who showed my parents the Skate emphasized that the Bugaboo bassinet is far superior in terms of baby's comfort, but to us (again, "first time parents", so take my comments with a grain of salt), the Skate bassinet looked plenty comfy! So I don't know if I've helped at all. Like you, I just want to DECIDE, even if we don't buy right away, so I can move on to the next decision (carriers/backpacks, perhaps...) And it sounds like we are basing our decision on very similar criteria. Have you seen the Skate in person? I think there's a very good chance that's what we'll end up with. The only remaining concern we have about the Skate is that it's the first model year, and there are bound to be minor glitches as a result, at least in some of the strollers they sent out. So that's a risk. My husband is going to call Peg Perego USA customer service on monday, partly to get answers to a couple little questions but also partly to find out how easy they are to deal with, in the event that we do get the Skate and have problems with it. I know Peg Perego is a solid brand that's been around forever. (My mom had Peg Peregos for my siblings and me!) But we're certainly not taking the decision to buy a $900 stroller lightly. (not to mention the $250 infant seat that goes with it and possibly the $100 matching storage bag...) Best of luck in your search! Hopefully, you'll just see one and just know that it's "the one" for you!!

How long does it take for baby kitten to start nursing?

baby backpack what age
 on Hair Detangler Spray - Calming by California Baby
baby backpack what age image



Olivia P


The kitten was born about an hour and a half ago, I'm estimating. The mom is trying to cuddle with the baby, but is also kind of laying on it. I want the baby to eat, but I'm not interfering. I don't think the baby has had anything to eat yet. Will she eat on her own? Also, she had the baby in the closet on a backpack. When can we move her into a box with blankets?


Answer
Move them right now. She is confused and needs the space to give birth and care for the kittens. She will not abandoned the kittens if they are touched or held. Keep the box in the closet for her privacy and so that she feels safe and comfortable. I hope this isn't a young mother cat under a year old as she may be confused. When a cat sits on kittens or refuses to nurse them it is either due to a young age or not having the mother instincts. With that said, here is what can be done. If this is the only kittens chances are that mom cat is in labor and giving birth to more. When she is resting, put the kitten up to her teat and rub his face gently on it. He should latch on. Keep an eye on them until you know that all kittens are born and mom and kids are doing well.

At which age did you start to carry baby on your back?




LGM


My little daughter is three months, two weeks old. She can hold up her head pretty well, but can't sit yet, of course. I have an ergo-baby carrier and a sling. However, both seemed to be laid out to carry a baby her age in front, rather than on the back. At which age would it be safe for baby to be carried on my back?


Answer
I used a sling with my son, using different positions at different ages, according to what was comfortable at the time. I eventually bought a different backpack carrier when he really seemed to outgrow the sling. In our case, he was about a year old when I finally started using the backpack regularly. He was small for his age though, so that made front carrying possible for longer than most!

It depends on your carrier, but some front carriers and most back carriers recommend the baby be around 6 months old for the sake of spinal development. Slings tend to be better for young babies because they hold the babies in more natural positions. Young babies prefer to be curled up with their entire body supported, rather than stretched out or in a position with their legs dangling. Back carriers are generally better for older babies who are stable sitting on their own.

Tips on weight loss after having a baby?

baby backpack with stand image



Lisa D


I have a precious 11 week old baby girl and am feeling a little overweight. Before my son ( who is 18 months old) was born I was around 120/125. Prior to my last pregnancy I was under 140. I am now weighing around 150/155 and want to safely loose a little of that.
How long should it take to lose most of the baby weight, and any specific tips on how to lose the weight? I know diet and excercise of course, but anything otherwise?Thanks!



Answer
I just discovered this gadget given to me by a pharmaceutical company which has been sitting on my bathroom floor together with my bathroom scale. Itâs actually an innocent looking small round disc shaped

exercise gadget that can make you move in one place anywhere anytime.

This device is an innovative and a safe home fitness device that is made of a strong plastic platform that âallows you to produce an intensive rotating movement when standing on it.â It allows you to move

sideways without stressing your back. It is small but actually durable enough to withstand our weight and still allows our whole body to move sideways freely.

It is suited for individuals who are lazy enough to change to a sports attire and drive to a gym. Great for people who wants a home fitness equipment that can give one a great aerobic exercise program.

And since it is small and light weight, it can be carried inside a backpack and used anywhere, anytime!

I am now a great fan of this gadget. I started using it during one rainy day and just missed my daily walking regimen. So as not to give an excuse to not doing my routine, I grabbed my iPod, stepped on the

disc and started twisting. And to my amazement I enjoyed it without having to change my boxer shorts and âkamisetaâ. And to think, I was able to exercise even if it was raining outside.

I thought of writing about it after Iâve been doing this regimen for quite sometime. I have to make sure it serves its purpose without giving me the muscle aches from the twisting that you have to do. I do

few twists in the morning with my sit-ups before I take a bath then my full routine in the afternoon alternating it with my walking exercise and swimming. Again⦠no more excuses that it is raining or the

usual excuse âthat my knees hurt when I walkââ¦.

Hereâs One small lightweight gadget that I strongly recommendâ¦.

It can help anyone keep fit and healthyâ¦

help one lose weight while having funâ¦

What is a good baby carrier / backpack to buy?




PF32


Ideally I would like something that will last a year of growth, not just a couple months.


Answer
REI Kids Only Piggyback

I'm normally a cheapskate (not a REI snob), but this pack is worth the extra money and then some.

I've carried my children from infancy through at least 3 to 4 years old in this thing.

I just had a "bonus baby" a couple months ago (my oldest started college last month). Thankfully, I kept the old Piggyback.

Despite the abuse from several previous children, the pack still in great shape and it will get used another 3-4 years (if my poor old body can stand it!).

Things to do with a 14 month old baby in Hawaii?

baby backpacks

Sandy C


We're traveling to Hawaii in April with our baby girl who will be 14 months. We're going to all the islands and I don't know what activities we'll really be able to do while there. We live in Miami so the beach isn't the main attraction for us. I purchased a baby carrier/backpack and an all terrain stroller to get around. Is there any hiking to do with a tough stroller? Carrying the baby for a month on our backs will not be easy. Any suggestions?


Answer
There are some easy hikes on Oahu that might be doable with a heavy duty stroller, boomer gal has one idea. Thereis also Koko Head (by Hawaii Kai) and Makiki Valley (which is wide enough as it is used every day heavily). Also Diamond Head is doable (not the rougher areas). There is a Children's Discovery Center nearer to downtown that would be fun and it features Hawaiana. There is also the Bishop Museum which might be interesting for a child.

Where can I find a child carrier like this?




Its Okay E


Im trying to find a site where they sell the baby carrier backpacks, they are cloth and usually tan there is no metal frame of anything. Does anyone know where to find one?


Answer
DO NOT GET THE SNUGLI, bjorn, or others like this. They are bad for babies spine and hips, and soon hurt mom's back. Good ones that distribute weight correctly are the Ergo, the Baby Hawk, the Beco and similar brands. You pay much more, but you can comfortably carry a 25 pound 2 year old in these carriers. The good carriers have baby sitting on their bums, the snugli dangles baby from the crotch.
http://www.attachedtobaby.com/Buckle-Carriers-C5.aspx
I have used the Ergo for a 25 pound 2 year old, and I loved my ring sling from this site. I'm now using a Baby Hawk Oh Snap for the 2 yr old, I'm in a baby wearing network in town and we all share slings and carriers.

How do you assemble a backpack and sleeping bag for camping?

best child backpack hiking
 on Backpack Purses | BACKPACKS BRANDS
best child backpack hiking image



Marnie


New at camping and hiking. My 12 year old is in Boy Scouts. He has packed light, but the backpack is still so bulky. We can't use a framed backpack because he will have to crawl through some low areas and push his stuff through the opening. I know there must be an easy way to put it all together. The load has to be light enough for a 12 year old child to carry on a caving expedition. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated!


Answer
I'm 14 and started when I was 12. I live in Alaska, so this may not be what you're looking for, but I'll do my best. First, I always try to bring the smallest and lightest bag that I have that works for the coldest it should get. You can always layer up if you get cold. Also, internal frames are good, except for that you'll need to put most items on the inside from what I've experienced. Go through your pack when you're done packing to make sure that there's nothing that you don't need or is worth its weight. One extra tip- Use some clothes as a pillow, as it keeps them warm when it's cold and doesn't take extra space.

Where is the best place to camp in the Grand Canyon with young children?




Tara O


Where are planning a trip to camp at the Grand Canyon this summer. I have a 3 and 5 year old. I also would appricate details of what kind of things we can do with small children while at the Canyon. Thank you so much!


Answer
First off, you need to decide which rim you want to visit: the North Rim or the South Rim.

Most people go to the South Rim because it is easier to reach and is more developed with more overlooks, lodges, cafes and several good-sized towns (Flagstaff and Williams) nearby. The North Rim is harder to get to, only has one lodge and no large towns nearby. Because it is a thousand feet higher in elevation, it is cooler than the south rim and closed during the winter (mid-October to mid-May). During summer, I prefer the North Rim because it is cooler and less crowded, but young kids might find more things to see and do at the South Rim.

At either rim, you only have one real camping option for kids that young and that is the drive-in campgrounds (one at each rim). They are both very similar and pretty nice with a picnic table at each site and central bathroom facilities. They are also both a ways back from the rim, which make them a bit more peaceful, but also means you either have to drive to reach the rim and overlooks or go for a fairly long walk. You can reserve campsites online and should make reservations well in advance (see links below).

Beyond the car campgrounds mentioned above, there are also primitive backpacking campsites in the canyon itself (not recommmended for kids that young) as well as camping 'at large' in areas of the National Forest surrounding the park (the better locations being on the north rim to the west of the park - but these can be tough to reach).

As far as things to do for kids at the South Rim... kids at that age are probably not going to be entranced with scenic natural views for long or up for long hikes. There is a nice free shuttle that runs along the rim from the lodges out to Hermit Rest with stops along the way and the driver telling stories about the canyon - most kids and adults would probably enjoy it. They would probably like watching the burros and their attending cowboys at the corral near Bright Angel lodge. The large patio area along the rim behind Bright Angel lodge is also a good place to see squirrels, ravens and sometimes condors (not to mention ice cream from the nearby snackbar).

There are usually a number of ranger talks each day, many of them at the Shrine of Ages auditorium near Yavapai Lodge. The park also has a junior ranger program where children go to various exhibits and talks to get stamps and win a junior ranger award. The 3 year old would probably be a bit young even for that, but the 5 year might enjoy it.

There are fewer attractions for kids at the North Rim, but it has the benefit of having more open space and less roads and traffic. There are lots of places there for kids to run around in the trees and play with pinecones and sticks (my main memories of going there as a small kid). Along the road to the Cape Royale overlook there is a nice little hike called Cliff Springs trail that would be suitable for kids that age. It goes a mile into a small side canyon to a pretty little seep spring - it is fairly level and despite the name, you are not walking along any cliffs.

Why is my baby trying to kill me?

baby carrier backpack twins
 on Free shipping AlphaLuxury utility baby stroller stroller baby umbrella ...
baby carrier backpack twins image



chloe


She's a sweet adorable baby, who loves everyone. She likes to hug and kiss, and cuddle, and she's such a good baby but..

She's almost 10 months, and still wakes up every hour or two at night to nurse. She hardly sleeps all day, and when she does, I have to be next to her because she won't sleep in her crib EVER, and I don't want her to fall of the bed.
In order for her to have her solids, i have to sing dance, and tell her stories, or she won't eat.
She won't stay in her playpen for more than 3 minutes, she won't sit in her high chair, or in her crib. I have to cook, clean and eat while holding her in my arms. I guess she's teething now, because it's gotten a little worse, and I feel like pulling my hair out.
I get no sleep, no time to eat, or take care of myself at all. I have no time for anything at all, not even my poor husband, and basically everything I do, has to be done with a baby hanging from my breast.

This is my first baby. Are all babies like that?
Adrianne, I'm not asking for your sympathy, I just wanted to know if all babies are so difficult. And I know my precious little angel isn't trying to kill me. I'm joking. Relax ok!
LG, thank you so much, I never expected such wonderful and understanding words from a person that doesn't have kids. You're going to make a great father one day.
Tanya, Thank you thank you, thank you!! I checked out the link you gave me, and I thought they were talking about my baby. I feel so much better having read that it's not my fault, and I'm not spoiling her. I could just hug you, and Dr Sears!



Answer
#1 SLEEP
--------------------
Baby proof your bed, put one side against the wall and for the other side by one of the "bed rails" that just slips under the mattress. Pretty soon she will be old enough to climb on and off the bed on her own. OR babyproof her room (bolt furniture to the wall, block outlets and make sure anything plugged in cannot be unplugged.) and get a twin mattress for her floor, get rid of the crib ;-). Then she can't "fall" out of the bed in her room and you can nurse her to sleep.

Also if you cosleep at night, as I do, consider using the crib as a sidecar. Remove the drop side and attach the crib to the side of the bed, you need to make sure the mattresses remain snug together, usually you have to put some padding between the far side of the crib mattress and the bars (I use some old rolled up sheets for mattress sizes I don't have anymore -but I just can't throw out sheets *sigh*)

Also it is developmentally normal for many breastfed babies to still be waking at night to nurse. Mine was up about every 1-3 hours at the age. Less often once I was actually in bed for the night. Of course going in to nurse baby back to sleep every 90 minutes means I didn't get much done in the evenings. Frequent night waking is particularly common in babies who don't nurse well during the day because they are too busy. I have yet to see even one piece of research that suggests ANY health or developmental benefits for a baby or toddler to sleep through the night. I have seen many studies that show it is normal, reduces SIDS risk, and encourages proper brain development. It was around 14 months that my son started going 4-6 hours one stretch at night. Now at 18 months he's good for 7-8 but before that he is up every 1-2 hours (until I go to bed) and after that he is snack, snack, snack.

If the sleep arrangement either the co-sleeping or the frequency of night feedings is bothersome to you many moms have success with this book:
http://amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/002-1801174-3708019?initialSearch=1&url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=no+cry+sleep+solution+Pantley&Go.x=0&Go.y=0&Go=Go

#2 FOOD
--------------
Just stop driving yourself nuts! She doesn't *need* anything except breastmilk. Until age 1 or later solids are for fun, socializing and learning. And right now she is probably having fun and learning how to train mommy but not really learning much about solids.

Offer her food, preferably real foods not baby foods that she can feed herself. And sit there and share them. If she eats she eats, if she doesn't she doesn't. Also this makes you eat healthier. Lots of fruit and veggies, limit salt and sugar. My son ate about 4-5 days per week, and only one meal between ages 10-12 months. After 12 months he started eating a lot more, probably because I got pregnant and morning sickness effected my supply.

Why safe feeding is safe and beneficial for breastfed babies
http://www.borstvoeding.com/voedselintroductie/vast_voedsel/rapley_guidelines.html#choke

http://www.askdrsears.com/faq/bf4.asp
This means that infants can go for at least a year on breast milk alone, without eating any foods, and be nutritionally complete. Offering foods between 6 and 12 months of age is simply for social development and to get infants used to eating.

Nourishing a baby (some of this page is useful, some I disagree with, worth a read though)
http://www.westonaprice.org/children/nourish-baby.html


#3 "Velcro" baby.
-------------------------
Can you put her in a back-style carrier? Either a backpack or a wrap? That can allow you to cook and do the dishes.

Let her "help" fold the laundry. (I let my son throw all the socks and underwear into a basket). She can "help" sweep, dust, etc too.

Spend more time actually interacting in the morning, singing songs, games, flashcards, whatever. Sometimes if you pay upfront they are more likely to let you walk away for a few minutes ;). Also these books have some great really short exercises to break up the day (and by short I mean like 30seconds to 3 minutes). http://www.gentlerevolution.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=G&Category_Code=B4
(BTW these books are available at most bookstores, there is just a bit more info on them here. And of course reviews on amazon so you don't have to just take my word for it)


#4 Independence
-------------------------------
Your almost there, soon your baby will be off walking around, disassembling the humidifier, building block towers and assembling lego. Of course she'll still check in every 10 minutes if she's like my toddler (hehe unless he is in something he shouldn't be).

By meeting her needs now you really, really ARE making her more independent in the long run!

#5 Some other advice:
------------------------------
Get out of the house! Go to the park for an hour every day, join mommy groups. Walk around the mall. The break is good for you and generally toddlers respond well to a little stimulation.







http://www.kathydettwyler.org/detsleepthrough.html
The same is true of sleeping. Human children are designed to be sleeping with their parents. The sense of touch is the most important sense to primates, along with sight. Young primates are carried on their mother's body and sleep with her for years after birth, often until well after weaning. The expected pattern is for mother and child to sleep together, and for child to be able to nurse whenever they want during the night. Normal, healthy, breastfed and co-sleeping children do not sleep "through the night" (say 7-9 hours at a stretch) until they are 3-4 years old, and no longer need night nursing. I repeat -- this is NORMAL and HEALTHY. Dr. James McKenna's research on co-sleeping clearly shows the dangers of solitary sleeping in young infants, who slip into abnormal patterns of very deep sleep from which it is very difficult for them to rouse themselves when they experience an episode of apnea (stop breathing). When co-sleeping, the mother is monitoring the baby's sleep and breathing patterns, even though she herself is asleep. When the baby has an episode of apnea, she rouses the baby by her movements and touch. This is thought to be the primary mechanism by which co-sleeping protects children from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. In other words, many cases of SIDS in solitary sleeping children are thought to be due to them having learned to sleep for long stretches at a time at a very early age, so they find themselves in these deep troughs of sleep, then they may experience an episode of apnea, and no one is there to notice or rouse them from it, so they just never start breathing again. Co-sleeping also allows a mother to monitor the baby's temperature during the night, to be there if they spit up and start to choke, and just to provide the normal, safe environment that the baby/child has been designed to expect.

[...]

Human children are designed (whether you believe by millions of years of evolution, or by God, it doesn't matter) -- to nurse *very* frequently, based on the composition of the milk of the species, the fact that all higher primates (Primates are the zoological Order to which humans belong, higher primates include monkeys and apes) keep their offspring in the mother's arms or on her back for several years, the size of the young child's stomach, the rapidity with which breast milk is digested, the need for an almost constant source of nutrients to grow that huge brain (in humans, especially), and so on. By very frequently, I mean 3-4 times per hour, for a few minutes each time. The way in which some young infants are fed in our culture -- trying to get them to shift to a 3-4 hour schedule, with feedings of 15-20 minutes at a time, goes against our basic physiology. But humans are very adaptable, and some mothers will be able to make sufficient milk with this very infrequent stimulation and draining of the breasts, and some children will be able to adapt to large meals spaced far apart. Unfortunately, some mothers don't make enough milk with this little nursing, and some babies can't adjust, and so are fussy, cry a lot, seem to want to nurse "before it is time" and fail to grow and thrive. Of course, usually the mother's body is blamed -- "You can't make enough milk" -- rather than the culturally-imposed expectation that feeding every 3-4 hours should be sufficient, and the mother begins supplementing with formula, which leads to a steady spiral downward to complete weaning from the breast.

Men with baby carrier?




chicabonit


My husband has no problem with wearing a baby carrier (with one of our babies in it of course) in public. He prefers type with the baby on the front because he can't see the baby when it is in the "backpack" style carrier. We have twins and went to a housewarming for a friend. We live in New York, so we took the subway - each of us with one of our boys in the carrier on the front. When we arrived, I noticed a few women snickering about something, but thought nothing of it. Later, my friend told me they were commenting about how "stupid" my husband looked with the baby carrier, and they are only for women?? Personally, I find it cute - and it is the most convenient - and safest - way to transport our children on the subway. What do you think of men wearing a baby carrier?


Answer
I think the people at the party need to grow up. Men are just a nurturing as women. We are always pushed into roles of violence and disregard. A carrier is a great way to bond with the baby. Not only is it safe as you mentioned, its hands free living. Why is it both parents created the baby, but only one is allowed to care for him/her? I hope you won't continue to surround yourself with these negative neanderthals. Congrats on the twins also.

Sometimes it is only one cheek and it flares up bright red. It is kind o splotchy but no roughness to it...It sometimes occurs when I carry him in the backpack.


Answer
There a lot of factors and more details could help but here's some reasons.

1. excess heat. If he falls asleep with his face against you then he'll get hot. One cheek red. This happens to my daughter when she's in her sling and sleeping.

2. teething. teeth coming in on one side tend to make screaming red, splotchy cheeks that aren't always even.

3. slapped-cheek (fifth diease). very common viral illness in children. It's usually mild. http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Slapped-cheek-syndrome/Pages/Introduction.aspx

Answer
At least $1000. Those upgrades are not cheap at all, and you are tacking a child onto there. If you want a better deal and a more child friendly airline, go with Emirates. I went to Pakistan in October and I absolutely loved this airline. They provide a backpack full of toys and activities, children's movies, and all kinds of entertainment. THey also provide diapers, sippy cups, bottles, milk, and baby sleepers.

I'm looking for a hiking baby carrier?




Alice


My daughter is 13 months - 22 lbs and still isn't walking. But, my husband and I love to hike. We are looking for a good/inexpensive hiking baby carrier. Preferably one for the back. Any thoughts or suggestions?


Answer
We had a Kelty Pathfinder Carrier that we got at REI eons ago. We loved that in addition to being adjustable for the child, it was really easy to switch the torso length of the backpack so my husband and i could trade off carrying. Walk around a store with your child in tow and see how it feels. A padded hipbelt and auto kickstand are must-haves, but other features we liked were the removable/easily foldable sunshade (great for wind and minor drizzle too), a padded front bar - you'd be amazed how easily your child will sleep back there, zippered pockets on the belt and shoulder straps so we could easily access items on the trail without removing the backpack (snacks, gps, phone), The zip off backpack for storage worked great so when we were hiking together we could each carry some of the load, but if either of us was hiking alone with the child (or the other one was carrying gear as we backpacked) we could have the essentials (diaper, change of clothes, food, first aid kit) with the baby. I'd search Craigslist for a good one at a discount rather than buy a new one that has less features or is cheaper.

Hints: A small hand mirror in the front hipbelt is great for checking on the baby while hiking (Is she still wearing her hat? Is she sleeping?) Sometimes you want the sunshade as a barrier to prevent hair pulling... if your little lady is anything like my second (not a problem with my first).

How to dress like a girl raver? ?




Isabella.(


Okay so for Halloween I'm planning to be a raver since this is a costume I can put together myself.
Now I know ravers dress really colorful with bright make up, glowsticks, and lotsa candy but I need details.
Like, what kind of shirt should I wear, shoes, pants/shorts, and a hairstyle idea would be greatly appreciated. Please and thank you! ^.^
Um maybe I should've put in "I want to be a CUTE raver."
C: Hahaha.



Answer
Don't be shy about what you're wearing. You're going to have to wear sparkly bright things that are going to stick out. There is no room for being shy.
When you're going to a party, dress lightly. You're probably going to get really, really hot. So don't wear jackets and layers and layers of clothing, unless you want to smell.
Try wearing baby tees, or bright neon stuff from the eighties. (for shirts, that is)
Wear brightly colored, sparkly makeup and eyeliner. But don't overdo it, you don't want to look like a whore.
Wear a backpack. Not like a school bag, but a stuffed animal backpack. Probably something from a cartoon. Toys-R-Us is a great place to go to.
For bottoms, during the day it's a good idea to wear tight skinny jeans or (for girls) Capri pants, but skirts are always good, too.
Choose any type of shoes (just not flip-flops or anything like that). Stay away from basketball type of shoes (use common sense here.)
Kandi is a good idea, too. If you don't know what that is, do your research.

Different Ravers carry different things depending on their party style. I'm ususally prepared for any situation so I will give you a list of things I keep in my bag:


Money- You need it to get in, for water and goodies if the party thrower is charging (which is bogus if they are), and for any substance that you may feel you need in order to have a good time.


I.D.- For some reason, some parties require you to be over 16.


Vicks Inhaler- More commonly referred to by Ravers as a Sea Breeze.


Vicks VapoRub- Just inhaling it feels good. Especially when you're on E.


Particle Mask- E-Mask, you put your Vicks VapoRub in it and just breath.


Mini Massager- Who doesn't like a massage any way?


Stuffed Animal- E-Babies, I generally carry about 6 with me.


Blinky Stuff- Um, it's dark, and the brighter your flashies the better. Glow sticks are great too.


Stickers- Everyone loves stickers


Glitter- Go glitter someone. Glitter is happy!


Pen and Notebook- I like to refer to it as an E-Book. All my Raver pals sign it and give me their digits, e-mail addies, etc.


Suckers- Yes, these are a seperate food group! Suckers are yummy, and they help you avoid lock jaw.


Binky- Pacifier. These things are addictive whether you are rolling or not.


Comb- Brush, pick, whatever.


Hair ties- or clipies cause your hair's too short. or they look cute


Chapstick- Sucking on Binkies and Suckers all night will give you chapped lips.


First Aid Kit- At least a couple of Band-Aids ppl.

Clothing items? Some or none at all?

Lovin My L


Finishing touches on the baby registry. New parents what did you get or not get? I'm not putting a lot of clothes because I know people go crazy over baby clothes (including myself) but should I put socks, mittens, hats, sleep sacks, specific swaddle blankets or leave it to nothing? Your experience and advice?
Thanks!!



Answer
I found that not many people even used the registry and just got what they thought they should!
I got TONS of clothes (and accessories) and baby blankets and didn't put any clothes or blankets on the registry.
I think baby clothes are a big hit to buy.
If I were you though I would just put items on there because you will very likely still get some clothes but also because I find that with baby clothes people generally have different tastes.. I think you will find that you would rather pick em out yourself for the most part :).
Keep an eye out for baby clothes during season changes (like right now!) and you can get stuff SUPER cheap!
Anyways.. the best thing I got from my baby shower was a double stroller and car seats (for my twins).
Clothes were fun to open. Toys are nice to get. Diapers are convenient but you'd want people to buy larger sizes since babies grow fast (depending on how big baby is when they are born.. my daughter went through one box of newborn and one box of size 2 and has been in size 3 for awhile).

This is stuff I recommend having:
A few pacifiers, a bath for the sink, some baby body wash and shampoo, a baby book (the kind you write all about your baby in and record milestones/thoughts etc), a stroller, a car seat, a crib, a crib mattress, a crib sheet (I personally don't think bumpers are all that necessary), a baby carrier (the "backpack" type where you set the baby in it so you can carry the baby around with you), maybe a swing (the kind you push a button and it sways back and forth).. you only use it for about three months but it is very helpful!, maybe a bouncer (little chair type thing with a toy bar where when they move it bounces, some Tylenol to have on hand, a baby thermometer, a baby nail clipper, I really recommend a bumbo (after awhile laying down gets boring so it's nice to sit some too), an exersaucer, maybe a crib mobile, maybe a little floor gym where a toy bar goes over their head so they look up at the toys while they are laying on the floor, a bouncer where you "stand up" in it and jump.

Bumbo and exersaucer and the standing up jumper are things they use more around 3-4 months and the swing, floor gym, chair bouncer are things they use for about the first three months.

If you are breastfeeding a pump is great to have along with storage bags and nursing pads - you can get reusable, washable ones if you want which I didn't really know about til recently! I really strongly recommend this too: http://www.uddercovers.com/ (you can get them cheaper on ebay).

If you are bottle feeding you will need bottles and formula and if you need filtered water then make sure to have that figured out too. The tricky thing with bottles is that not all styles fit all babies so if you buy one kind your baby not be able to use it very well. So keep that in mind! My twins used the first type of bottle I offered them but my daughter has been pretty picky but she is mostly breastfed so it's not a big deal.

Well those are my suggestions for things for your registry!

Remember that whatever you don't get you can check for on craigslist, ebay, and garage sales (or ask friends/family who have had kids if you can borrow some of the stuff you don't use long or buy it or whatever). You can get baby stuff pretty cheap esp at garage sales and craigslist!

Do I still need to give her a gift at her baby shower?




Blackberri


I'm co-hosting a baby shower for a friend who is having twins. It is a couple's shower, and I'm hosting along with 3 other women.

I have 2 kids and I'm giving my friend all of our hand-me-downs. She wants them, I checked first. :)

I'm giving her a $200 bassinet, $170 Graco swing, 2 bouncy infant chairs (the ones that recline), baby clothes, a diaper bag, bottles, 1 infant sling (the one you put over your shoulder and it cradles the baby by your chest, 1 infant backpack carrier, and a booster seat. There might be more stuff, I just can't remember now.

This is all stuff my husband and I would have sold if we weren't giving it to them. Do we still need to get them baby shower gifts?



Answer
No, all that plus hosting the shower is enough. When the baby is born, you could get her a little token thing if you want, but not necessary.

What is a good wrap or sling I can use to take my baby camping?

baby backpack sling

Miki


He is due next month and I want to take a camping trips with him a soon as possible. We usually do backpack camping so a sling or wrap is ideal for the lightweight fabric. I live and camp in Texas so something that won't make him overheat is needed. While there won't be any real climbing, a stroller would not be useful for our favorite places.

I bought a big backpack to go to Europe, what else can I use to carry my camcorder and SLR camera?




knight d


These 2 items are quite big combined and my backpack is already big enough for me to handle. Is there something that everybody uses to carry the accessories when they go backpacking? Should I get a small side bag to hold my cameras and lenses?


Answer
You could get a sling and have it slung in the front, therefore helping to distribute some of the weight. (Kind of like the baby slings or a big sling purse you can cross over your shoulder/chest). You could also look into something large enough to go around your waist with the bulk in the front of your body. Adding another bag to your back area would not have any benefit and you want to keep your hands free so these are my suggestions. Good luck and have fun! Be safe!

Any suggestions on a baby carriet for a 2 yr. old who is almost 30 pounds?

Kirstie


I have a Moby Wrap which I used from about 1 month old until he was 10 months (once he started walk) I have used it a couple of more times but seems to be uncomfortable for both of us. While I travel by bus from time to time (no strollers allowed to be open) and he won't sit still for long periods, I would live something that is comfortable for both of us.


Answer
Maybe the Toddler Baby Hawk. I have one, but my 3 yr old is 30 pounds and he is getting a bit big to carry. I carry on my back, still comfortably. The next stage up is an actual backpacking style carrier.

How can I take a baby to the Grand Canyon?




Hopie


i was just wondering if strollers were allowed in the grand canyon or do we have to hold him the whole time?


Answer
Yes, strollers are allowed in Grand Canyon National Park. We took our daughter to the Grand Canyon when she was 23 months old and took a collapsible stroller with us. The stroller was compact and lightweight with umbrella style handles. The reason for the compact stroller is so it could be easily carried onto the park shuttle buses.

The rim trial between Mather Point and Grand Canyon Village (about 2 miles) is paved and you can easily push a stroller on it. To get to scenic viewpoints on the West Rim you'll have to use the park shuttle. You'll probably want to carry your child to get from the shuttle stop to the viewpoints as they are short walks and not paved. To see the scenic viewpoints on the East Rim you'll have to use your car or take a commercial tour bus (check for tours at Bright Angel Lodge). Again, you'll want to carry your child to the viewpoints except at Desert View which is much more spread out with paved walkways.

I also used a backpack carrier which works great for toddlers. Front carriers are available for infants. If you have a toddler and allow him to walk along parts of the trail, please keep him on a very short leash. I don't mean that literally but you should be within arm's reach. The viewpoints are fenced but the trails are not. A 4-year old fell to her death near Mather Point last October. I would think twice before taking an infant or very young child into the canyon, especially during the summer months when the sun and dehydration can be major problems. It would probably be ok to walk down the Bright Angel trail for a few hundred yards but you can't use a stroller and you may encounter mules on the trail.

Be sure you carry everything you need for your child (like baby food for an infant, disposable diapers, etc.) because you may not find these items at the park stores. In a pinch you can try the stores in Tusayan just outside the south entrance. Have fun.

I'm vacationing in Brazil this summer w/ wife and 1 yr old daughter...what do I need?

baby carrier backpack wheels image



RAZOR___


I've never traveled so far with my daughter. We are going to rent a van. Do we need a car seat? We will be hiking. Are there all-terrain strollers? Anyone who has experience vacationing with a baby please give me some advice. This is going to be a very, outdoors-nature, trip.


Answer
I agree with Starlight, especially about the carseat. There are probably no laws regarding using one, but you definitely want to take one with you. Accidents occur anywhere ;)

The reason you will probably want a backpack carrier is that it will be so much easier than taking a stroller everywhere, particularly if you plan on doing alot of hiking - the stroller will be a huge burden and probably useless. Even in town/city, the sidewalks will not be even like here in the US - they will most likely be uneven and bumpy, plus the streets may be very crowded if you're in a populated area. There are a few styles of backpack carriers that have wheels on the bottom and convert to a lightweight type of stroller. I still think this may be an issue in Brazil b/c of pavement, etc.

I personally would suggest getting an Ergo Carrier. It is soft so you can fold it up and stuff it in a tote bag, unlike the backpack carrier. We used one for our son - you can have your child on your back or in front of you.

Good luck and enjoy your trip!

7. is there anything else you guys can think of to tell me anything that i should know



Answer
My son and I flew for the first time at 8 weeks. He's three now, and we've done quite a bit of traveling, but that first one was TOUGH.

Think of your trip in three phases: 1) Getting through check-in; 2) Getting through security; 3) The flight itself.

I've found that my best bet is to take one large bag and check it, plus one carry-on and my child's stroller. If you buy your child a seat, she has her own luggage allowance - but how can one person get two suitcases, four carry-ons and a baby through the airport, LOL?

Again, the carseat question depends on whether you've bought a seat for your child. A lapbaby has no right to her carseat; a child with a ticket does.

Assuming she's a lapbaby and her car seat is part of the stroller, then simply take it with you to the plane and gate-check it. (More on that later.) If not, I'd check it through as luggage. There are safety considerations, and your daughter *would* be safer in her car seat in the event of turbulence or an emergency landing. But I don't have enough arms to get all that gear through the airport - and I'm VERY certain that my child is at greater risk if I don't have my hands free in a crowded place. You might even need to buy a carrier - I have a tote bag with wheels and backpack straps. Awkward, but at least I can get it to the airline desk. Mine was about $20 at Babies'R'Us.

Part One: Getting Checked In

If at all possible, get a taxi or friend to drive you to the airport. Navigating long-term parking - especially if you have to take a shuttle - with a small child and all that luggage - is a nightmare. If you have no choice, you might consider wearing your baby in a baby carrier. I've always managed to get a ride or simply pay a premium to park closer.

At the check-in counter, you *may* be asked to show your child's birth certificate. I always keep my son's bc with my driver's license.

If you're checking a bag, remember that it can't weigh more than 50 pounds. I pack VERY light and assume I can find a laundromat if I need to on arrival. I also try to buy essentials like diapers and formula once we land. (I've had formula canisters explode in my luggage, coating everything with a fine sheen of white powder. Pretty.) You can get a rough idea of whether or not you're at the limit by using a bathroom scale.

Part Two: Security

For me, this is hands-down the toughest part. You need to de-shoe and yes, de-shoe your infant. (Even Robeez.) While they've eased the restrictions on breast milk/formula, you still have to tell TSA that you have them and have them out of your carry-on for inspection.

Speaking of that carry-on. Keep it light - what you'll need for the flight plus a delay of a few hours - extra diapers, two changes of clothes for baby, one for you. (My kid once puked on me right before I checked my luggage - thank God I had time to fish out an extra tee!) You might bring granola bars or other snacks for yourself, because it's tough to eat in-flight.

You'll need to take your kid out of her stroller/car seat carrier and yes, even out of a sling/soft carrier for the inspection. Some airports are better about this, but many still ask you to do the impossible. If another traveler steps forward and offers to help, take it! Many of us are missing our own children at home, or remembering how tough it is to fly with a baby!

You may need to buy bottled water, etc. *after* you've gone through security. While prices are outrageous, you can't carry them through security. If money is tight, bring an (empty) bottle to refill for yourself, and plan to fill your kiddo's bottles at the water fountains once you're through security.

You *can* take personal liquids - diaper creme, etc. - but they have to conform to the 3-1-1 rule. (See below.) Note that this means that the CONTAINER has to be smaller than 3 ounces. While some screeners let you slip by, many don't. So if your kiddo needs diaper creme every change, buy a travel size tube. Ditto for lotion. Otherwise, I always check all of those things. If you're nervous about having the right bag, Ziploc sells ones specifically labeled for flying; they're usually cheap and can be found with the travel-sized items in the drug stores.

Part Three: The Flight

First, most airlines allow you to pre-board with small children.

Assuming you have a stroller, they'll either offer you a gate check in the waiting area, or you can simply ask for one when you board. You wheel your stroller to the end of the jetway, fold and park it by the door. (Flight attendants will be right there - you can ask if you're nervous, but normally you're not alone.) It's a good idea to stick a luggage tag on your stroller, too - just in case. (When you de-plane, they'll bring the stroller back up to the jetway.)

If you've bought a seat for your child, you can take her carseat on with you and strap it in place. If you have not, you'll probably need to leave your carseat with the stroller. But it never hurts to ask.

The last part is the easiest - the flight itself. Take a paci - odds are that she'll suck as a reflex when she feels the popping during your ascent/descent. You can also plan to feed her at those times.

If she cries, take a deep breath and do your best to calm her. But honestly? Don't sweat it. Some people will glare. But MOST of your fellow travelers have kids or remember having kids - and hey, they have souls, too. Just keep your chin up and do your best.

BTW, best day of my life? Taking my frequent flier, kid-free sister on a cross-country flight with my 2 y.o. After we got off the plane, she said she had NO IDEA how hard it was and vowed to stop glaring at rowdy toddlers from now on and be more helpful instead. ;)

After that, bon voyage!
