Infant Sleep Positioner

So my little 2 week old DD is doing great we just need a little help figuring out the best night time sleeping situation. She doesn't like her crib (either flat or at a slight incline), she doesn't like the bassinet or the glider.She sleeps great during the day on the boppy pillow - but of course that is supervised. Since we can't use the boppy at night, I'm thinking there has to be some device that would help her sleep but is also secure. I've done some research and found the Nap Nanny, the Snuggle Nest, and the Close & Secure Sleeper. ...

Need Suggestions for Monitor to Cover Two Separate Nurseries.

I have a 20 month old with twins on the way in the next two weeks or so (I know... life is about to get REALLY exciting!). We have the Sony Babycall monitor for our daughter's room and love it but are now looking for a new monitor that might scan between her room and the twins' room across the hall. I don't want one with two channels that I have to flip between manually but rather would like something that does it automatically. A friend of mine used to have one that scanned three different rooms, but apparently it's no longer made. The...

Co-sleeping Thoughts - Older Children

I was reading some requests and answers, and most of the requests and answers are Husband & Wife, with babies that co-sleep together. I am a single mom, i have been a single mom for well 7 years, my son is 8. During the school week, i will put him in his bed, and he sleeps most nights by himself (but sometimes I will wake up to him crawling into bed with me) on the weekend, he crawls in bed with me, regardless. Its always been, he wakes up in the middle of the night and crawls into bed with me, well he used to cry for me, but as he got...

What Do You Really Need for an Infant?

So it's been 8 years since I last had a baby to care for. I am expecting again and am at a loss for what I really need and trying to prioritize. I have looked at many registries and think they include a lot of frivolous items (wipe warmers ect) So if you could go back in time and know then what you know now, what are your must have items. When I say I have nothing I mean not one baby item at all. I know I'll need a crib, clothes, ect. I also plan on breastfeeding, so I will need a pump for when I return to work and there are so many to...

Munchkin Fresh Food Teether

Hello, my little boy just turned 7 months old. I received a two pk. of the Munchking mesh fresh food teethers for my shower and have still yet to use them. My baby is eating stage 2 foods three x's/day and loves it! He is also heavily teething right now. I am not sure what to put in this thing. I have heard strawberries, but not sure of what else. I also heard of putting meat in them? Ew..what kind? Do your babies like this product? Thanks!

Where Should My Son Sleep?

My son is 10 mos old and currently shares a bed with me. My husband says he should be sleeping in his crib by himself. my son naps in his crib, and is capable of putting himself to sleep. This isn't affecting my husband at all, he sleeps in a seperate bed because of our schedule differences. I feel that my son will be grown soon enough and the only time we get to cuddle is when we go to sleep at night. i don't plan on him sleeping with me forever, and don't understand why my husband is so sure this is bad for him. Is it wrong or unhealthy...

Need Ideas for Infant Bathing

I live in an apartment with my husband and 6 month old baby boy. We have a small bathroom (unfortunately, no tub- only a shower!) and cannot afford to move right now. I have been bathing our baby in the standard plastic baby tub that fits in the kitchen sink, but he's starting to get too big for that little tub! Our bathroom really is quite small and I did try to bathe him once in a small tub on the floor of the shower stall, but it was uncomfortable for me to squeeze into the corner to bathe him. Any ideas for how I could continue to...
