ParentDish readers are just filled with baby wisdom. And based on your comments, if only one tip should be stamped on our brains forever and ever, it should be to SWADDLE YOUR NEWBORN LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW.
Thank you for that pertinent information. (Personally, I'm in full agreement.)
However, swaddling devices weren't the only products mentioned. Take a gander at your ParentPicks Top Newborn Essentials.

hollytriedit said...The Miracle Blanket and The Happiest Baby on the Block are definite must-haves. You can get a discount code for the Miracle Blanket at my blog http://hollytriedit.blogspot.com/2008/01/discounts-on-miracle-blanket.html
I will be having a contest to win a free Miracle Blanket, too. So watch for it in the next couple days.

SpiritualMom said...I have a great idea on designing my future baby boy's room with Bears playing golf, but I can't the right web site, or any store that may carry this type of theme "Bears Golfing". Anyone out there planning a to have a baby or is having a baby knows of good areas to look?

lillymommy said...The Miracle Blanket and "Happiest Baby on the Block" saved our lives. We had a very colicky newborn who needed both to be happy. I would also include a white noise machine on the list. Even if you don't have a colicky baby, all three of these items will help your little one get settled for sleep!

Laurie said...I think the wipe warmer is great for the winter months when the wipes get really cold. It warms it up so it is not shockingly cold on the baby's bottom.
Another FUN yet practical and affordable product is www.BazzleBaby.com. They have cool bibs that look like bandanas, big bibs and burpers in really cool styles for boys and girls. PLUS, they come up high enough on the neck for those dribbly babies who get neck rash. The burpers come in camouflage and hot rods for dads too!

Mystie said...My must have was the USA made rattles & the radian 80 carseat
I bought from http://safebabiesplus.com/main.sc .
The carseat fits so well in my car especially when you have other kids that need to fit in the car too. I now have a lot of room for other people to sit & another carseat & I am driving a small toyota car.
