Re: Help with Baby Preparations - my FAVS!

November 23, 2004

Hi!

I am so excited for you! I use a convertible carseat for Emerence.

Our pediatrician let me turn her forward at 18 mo of age when she was

about 17.5 lbs as she felt her neck and body structure was okay even

though she wasn't 20 lbs.

My list of favorites are:

Clouds and Stars " quick zip " crib sheets!! LOVE them. Expensive

(about 30/set) but worth it. The bottom part is put on the BOTTOM of

the mattress (it comes up and covers the sides) and the top is zip

on! SO SO easy to take off (but the zipper is hidden). Especially

for kids that throw up/spit up often and require middle of the night

I also would recommend a baby wedge (to put beneath the sheet when

she has a cold). They are about $15 from onestepahead.com Emerence

is forever congested so we just leave it there permanently.

Avent sippy cups, they have super soft beginner spouts that made it

easy for Emerence to swich from a bottle.

J & J vapor bath and the lavender nighttime bath.

That is all I can think of now but those sheets are the BEST!
