But then again, our little tyke is a bit over 2 months old. The pillow has been great for both breastfeeding and bottle feeding in our household. <br /><br />To assist us with the shopping experience, we picked up the Consumer Reports Best Baby Book or something like that. It was really helpful in determining what was needed and what was not. Good luck ;)<br /><br />wuji - wuji.apxs.usAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9732443.post-1103955159710076172004-12-24T22:12:00.000-08:002004-12-24T22:12:00.000-08:00Mindless blather:

Becca prefers to be bounced while being fed actually; sort of the complete opposite of your stable place comment.<br /><br />Glider--the big problem with this was the angle of the seat itself, it was a real pain for Jude to stand up with the kid in her arms, so it's permanently adorned with a pillow to make getting up easier.<br /><br />Breastfeeding accessories--we don't use any of this anymore. While Jude doesn't have any problems with feeding per se, things like pumping, or rememebring to use pads, never worked for her. The breastmilk receptacle things are used to mix formula up for Becca's cereal now, or as toys, and the anti-bacterial wipes are used in repurposing old cell phones, remotes, etc.<br /><br />Bouncer--Becca really loved this just because it let her sit up and had lights. The vibrating thing didn't work for us, it gave Becca an instant look of terror.<br /><br />Other things: we're on our third bathing accessory (she turns six months in three days). Becca hated the first one, which had a thin foam-cell padding over hard plastic that maybe wasn't thick enough in hindsight. The second one worked pretty well, it was a sort of mesh chair that she has only recently outgrown because of her increased mobility and general lunging. She now has a sit-up one that will probably last a couple months.<br /><br />We got hammered constantly about needing receiving blankets but we really stopped using them when she was flailing about so much at night--somewhere around the third month. You basically need a nice blanket for them to play on, a smaller portable version of that for the diaper bag, and burp cloths. Lots of burp cloths. Those are still incredibly useful.<br /><br />Also, you can never have enough socks. You will lose them constantly, in public places especially.<br /><br />Etc.,<br /><br />m.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9732443.post-1103736042263167342004-12-22T09:20:00.000-08:002004-12-22T09:20:00.000-08:00Testing.Testing.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05351273028356728675noreply@blogger.com
