We are taking a trip to Sea World San Antonio in June and I have been thinking about buying a baby harness for my son, who will be 20 months by then. He is such a curious boy now, and I am sure he still will be then, that I am worried about him running off. I don't want to confine him to the stroller since there will be so much to see.
Does anyone else use a baby harness? Or do you have recommendations for a brand? Also, what has your experience been in using it (from the baby, and from other people)?
Thanks so much...and I will be chosing a Best Answer!
KEEVELISH-I totally understand the part about holding his hand, which is what I do when we are out at the store, or less crowded place. But with the amount of people who will be there and the amount of hours we will be out made me wonder.
I also was thinking about his safety as far as people being able to just scoop him up if I rely on him holding my hand.
So far the majority of you are in favor of them.
Thanks so far!

My son is 21 months old and i also have a 3 week old... And my mom "grandma" bought My son Julian a harness from target and I honestly love it! He is a very curious and high energy boy like most... i use it mostly now when the babies have doctor.He can't run in the street, get lost,and being KIDNAPPED i can keep track of him at all times. I yell less and he thinks he is being alot more independant and a big boy... He is not confined to a stroller. And he likes it... Its just like a backpack and its even a monkey and he thinks it's curious george... Although some people look at me differently when he is wearing it and some people even say things i just always say better safe then sorry... Then some other people say that that is a good idea... Its very safe and i highly recommend it!!! If you decide to get it let me know what u think!!!

Can ya'll help... breast pump and washing baby clothes quesitons...?
Mommy to 2
My nesting phase comes and goes... I've been cleaning and buying alot of clothes... can anyone tell me why I need to wash all of his clothes before he wears them?
Also, can any of you recommend a breast pump... I'm having a hard time choosing... and because I don't have one I don't have bottles and no pacifiers... I'm behind in that cat...
Thanks everyone for all the support and advice with my friend.. she finally wrote me back today... she seems to be okay...
Okay.. thanks for the help with the washing... is it a must to wash them with Dreft, or is an all natural detergent just as good?
Answer
You wash the clothes because otherwise they'll likely irritate your baby's skin. Clothes in the store often have been starched to make them look good on hangers - that's not kind to skin. No need to use Dreft or any special 'baby' detergent (in fact, I know several babies who had bad reactions to the perfume in dreft - smells great to adults, but not all that great for baby). Any dye/perfume free detergent will do - I love All Free & Clear. I think Tide has a free&clear version as well.
As for breast pumps - I strongly recommend the Ameda Purely Yours. You can buy it online, or go to Target and buy the "Lansinoh Double Electric" pump (same exact pump, just re-packaged and renamed by Lansinoh". It's great quality, and an unbeatable price ($150 for the pump alone, or $180-$200 with a carryall or backpack). The Medela Pump in Style and Pump in Style Advance are also good, but more $$ and really no better. In fact, I think the Ameda is better because you can control the suction and speed separately. Plus, the Ameda is a closed system (this means that moisture/milk cannot get into the tubing). With the Medela pumps, it can and you can get mold growing in there - gross!!!
You also mentioned you don't have bottles yet. I don't recommend buying a lot of bottles since you don't yet know what kind your baby will like. Buy like 1 each of a few different kinds and then see which work best. Then you can stock up. Also, remember it is best not to introduce the bottle till your baby is 4-6 weeks old.
Hope all that helps! Congrats & good luck.
