too expensive, but my parents had one very similar to that. my dad used to work in the garage with a toddler on his back. :)

My 3yo LOVES frozen peas right out of the bag and requests them often. We make "green smoothies" often and I freeze the extras in popcicle molds. He loves those too. (Green smoothi...

Other than explicitly saying "no gifts please" I have found this hard to get around. Even after I opened my own store to carry safer, more eco-friendly toys (www.NonToxicTots.com) I still get plen...

These are great. They also come in a new larger "toddler" size for when baby gets bigger.

Love all the comments! I'm about 3 weeks from my due date now and a couple months ago I had a burst of energy and started decluttering like mad. However, it has since disappated and I'm forc...

but can you put them back in later?

I am all about anything that promotes breastfeeding and I think it's great that this doll does NOT come with a bottle as most do. But it is a little odd. I wouldn't buy it or anything. You...

Nursing Stool Link didn't work... http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2403243

PS and get a "nursing stool" to prop your feet up for those late night feedings. (Like this, but I think you can find them in other finishes too:

I refinished a plain wooden rocker for my son's nursery. I found basic tufted cushions on line. JCPenny.com I think. Solid colors, no ruffles. :) If you can sew, I'm sure you could make somethi...

I was handed down tons of baby clothes from my stepmom. Sadly most were covered in yellow formula stains. I am guessing that the spit up contributed too. I tried soaking overnight in stain remov...

Well, I'm sure opinions vary, but I think that most of the "baby machines" are extraneous. They are handy, but far from essential. My List: baby bouncer swing exer...

I did mostly finger foods for my LO too. (Thus skipping the puree phase. Like the previous post suggests.) But I loved this for teething. I'd put frozen camomile tea or frozen fruit ...

We do keep running wishlists on Amazon. BUT I only send the list to grandparents and my brother since they are always asking what my son or I want. It's a great help to my hubby to just pass alon...

I got a similar chair at Big Lots for about $35. I have seen them there since. The fabric is a little cheap but I plan to sew a slip cover eventually. My son loves it and it's perfect for the pr...

I second the booster hooked on a chair you already own. You want baby to be able to sit up well on their own before they start solids, but you need a strap to keep them in at least. ...

I agree with Etsy. There are so many talented crafters on there. No way you are going to beat the prices of the Fisher Price made-in-China toys. But I completely think it's worth it ...

If it was me, I'd just get a nice pack-n-play that could double as a changing table as well. Maybe not the most glamourous option, but definitely practical. I also co-slept with my baby at first ...

You've gotten lots of good advice. Just remember that moms and dads have been doing this since the beginning of time with a fraction of stuff that people say we "must have." Focus on ...

Gotta say the nursing app makes me cringe a little. Tracking how long baby nursed on each side and how long total is not really indicative of successful nursing. All babies are different and nurs...
