what is the best baby carrier ....?




A.


In your opinion what is the best baby carrier? We are looking for something that we can use for long, in different ways, comfort for parents, sturdy and that is comfortable for a baby boys special parts too of course... very important. (Infantico, Ergo, Baby K'Tan.... etc)


Answer
You will find across the board the ergo comes out on top, and I agree too. We tried a maya ring sling and a mei tai before the ergo and both were faffy and complicated to use. We found them uncomfortable and really difficult to tie and get our daughter in the right position. So after great frustration we went with the ergo. Oh how we love it. In fact we love it so much we now exclusively baby wear and have sold our stroller. Its so comfortable, it just feels like a backpack that has a few books in it. We have our ten month old in it and she weighs around 24 lbs so she's no lightweight but she doesn't hurt our backs at all, we can barely feel anything and we carry her around all day long when we're out and about. Its a really comfortable carrier for both baby and parent and best of all- easy to use! No faffing with tying and such. She falls asleep in it regularly and sleeps comfortably, she loves being in it as she can see the world around her and gets the fresh air. Yeah, the ergo is the best thing we invested in.

what should i get for my baby?




Expecting


Or put on the baby registry? I know i need a crib, diapers, stroller, clothes but i cant think of anything else. Any help for a first time mom w| a baby boy?


Answer
I would have you look at my registry but I actually just deleted everything I've gotten off of it the other day. I'm going to try and remember everything for you though....here it goes:

*car seat
*stroller
*carrier (sling or backpack type)
*crib
*mattress
*mattress pads (at least 2)
*crib sheets (at least 2)
*crib bedding set
*diapers (sizes newborn, 1, 2 3, 4, 5)
*wipes (preferably unscented so baby's skin isn't irritated)
*infant tub (there are some great infant to toddler tubs so you don't have to buy two different tubs)
*highchair
*booster seat
*playmat
*bouncer/bouncy seat
*swing
*changing table
*walker
*dresser or other place to store baby's clothes and stuff
*mobile (optional)
*nursing bras, tank tops, lanolin nipple cream, breast pump, breast pads, etc for yourself if you are nursing
*bottles (even if you are nursing it is always good to have a few on hand in case you want to pump at all or in case you become ill and can't breastfeed for a few days)
*pack n play
*sheets or pad for pack n play (at least 2)
*bassinet (optional)
*sheets for bassinet (only if getting a bassinet of course)
*blankets (definitely some receiving blankets, maybe some swaddling blankets, etc)
*clothing, bibs, hats, shoes, snowsuit if needed, etc.
*bottle cleaning brush
*pacifiers (optional)
*thermometer (rectal for sure because most doctors will ask you to take the baby's temperature that way when they are sick, underarm or another thermometer for other times when calling a doctor isn't necessary)
*grooming supplies (nail clippers, aspirator, brush, etc.)
*medication dispenser for infants
*gas relief drops and fever reducer

*activity gym
*those shade things for car windows
*baby monitors (they have motion sensor ones, just audio, or audio/video)
*first aid kits (preferably one for at least home and the car)
*boppy pillow (they are good for breastfeeding but are also good for propping baby up before he can sit on his own, tummy time, etc)
*baby mittens so he doesn't scratch himself
*cotton balls to clean his eyes, ears, his little fat rolls, and the umbilical stump if needed
*baby robe, washcloths, and hooded towels (optional but very cute!)
*toys and teethers
