Most Useful New Infant Item You had...please share...especially Preemie Parents

So my SIL gave birth VERY early last week..at 30.5 weeks gestation. My niece weighed in at 2 lbs, 1 oz. She has done miraculously..no vent the whole time, no emergencies and while she has not gained any weight yet, she is maintaining her birth weight at this point. She looks wonderful...even a full head of hair! I thought fat and hair grew last?? She is a tiny little spectacular miracle! She will be needing some selections of preemie clothes, and other such things. But I am wondering what were the most useful things you had for Preemies...

What's a Item You Used for Your Baby That You Couldn't Live Without??

HI MAMMA'S! I'm a soon-to-be 1st time gramma and wanted to make sure my daughter had some great things to help her transition into parenthood with the new baby. Is there something you received as a gift or bought yourself that really helped your sanity those first few months?? I bought her a cotton swaddler for the baby from target as I hear that swaddling is the thing to do to help a baby sleep better. (wish I would have known that back when she was little.. I wrapped her in a blanket but it wasn't like these swaddlers out now.. and...

First Time Parents - Are SIDS Alarms Necessary?

We are new parents to a healthy, baby boy, 9 days old now. The OB nurses have mentioned "SIDS" so often that my husband and I are completely freaked out. I have looked up SIDS monitors (Angel Care) and read the reviews. They vary from great, a life saver, to don't bother. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If Your Child Is Sick with a Cold, Where Do They Sleep?

I'm having a hard time giving the Irwin family the benefit of the doubt. Every time I read a new story I see something that makes me cringe. When the 10 month old disappeared, they said she has a cold with a cough. Most moms I know would either bring them into their room or lay in their room or keep the doors open if their rooms are close. Most moms would check on them frequently and be concerned about the baby coughing and choking in their sleep or throwing up etc. I just read that the 6 year old son sleeps in the same room. ...

Seeking Advice/tips on Focusing Very Active Child

My 4 year old son is a very active boy with all the symptoms of ADHD although he hasn't been diagnosed with it because of his age. His behavior has really declined lately. Whenever we go anywhere, he's all over the place. He hasn't been listening very well either. Winter is always a tough season as he's not able to spend the whole day outside burning off all of his energy. I was wondering if anyone had any non-prescription suggestions to help calm his down and focus and listen better. Thanks for your thoughts!

Q Re: Angel Care Sleep Monitors

I am about to get an Angel Care sleep monitor and I've heard mostly great things about it. My only concern is that during the summer months my hubby and I have fans going in our bedroom and sometimes even the A/C. I've heard that the monitor is so sensative that even a fan blowing at the crib can register as baby movement and so defeats the purpose. Has anyone else had this experience and if so how do you deal with the hot summer months? I want to keep my baby cool and I don't want to sweat to death, either! I was thinking perhaps we...
