All Terrain makes a pump-spray (really more of a squirt lotion) sunscreen that was well-rated in EWG and Safe Mama. The spray application is so much easier on my toddler than cream. I spray several pumps on her arms or legs (not face, I use a clear zinc stick for that) and then rub it around. I'm hoping that the thicker quality of the lotion means it doesn't have the same inhalation risk as the sprays featured above, but that may just be hope against hope. It is greasy but I'm OK with that. It's on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/All-Terrain-KidSport-Natural-Sunscreen/dp/B004TSLDWI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1314294187&sr=8-1

I bought the naturepedic one - luckily so far haven't had much test of its waterproof-ness but it is soft (no plastic crinkle sound) and safe (no plastic, no bad smell, even right out of the package). Best Waterproof Mattress Covers Good Questions |

Sayer's room was one of my favorites when I was planning my nursery, and it's great to see it updated! Also bought a long-legs bird and bird pillow from klt:works, and it has been a big hit with my daughter! Love the photo with Sayer taking a picture with a toy camera - is that vintage (hoping not)?

Dutalier's Prestige line is not as cool as the Q collection, but cooler than their regular lines - go to http://www.dutailier.com/nursery.php and scroll through collections until you hit "prestige" A Glider Similar to the Defunct Alberto? Good Questions |

This is a good idea, and I also love The Snowy Day (which I have rotated away). Would love to hear anyone's suggestion for good spring or summer books. A Seasonal Home Library Rhythm of the Home |

I think this website is both a blessing and a curse when you are mid-nervous-breakdown obsessing about the perfect nursery (and I have also been there!). On the one hand, it has such great ideas, but on the other, it could add to your pressure to find the perfect everything, because it seems like everyone else's nursery is perfect and the nesting urge is so strong. Hang in there, it sounds like you have already bought some great stuff (and the big ticket items), and the rest will come, and if it doesn't all get done right away (or at all) it's not the end of the world.

I used the Eddie Bauer Infant Travel Bed (available at Target for $30) on my sofa, and it worked great. We were in the living room all the time anyway. For bed use, I think your bed would need to be pretty big to fit a travel bed and parent, especially two parents. There are "snuggle nests" made for use in the bed (available on Amazon); those might be easier to fit parent and baby. Have You Used a Baby Travel Bed In Your Bed? Good Questions |

Great idea for the wall art. On another note, does anyone know who makes that cool birds-on-wire wall mount? Get More from Your Baby Photo Shoot Galina Sullivan of Captured by Galina |

I would love lens advice too! Particularly, I would love to know what lens to use to get a photo in which the subject is clear but everything right behind the subject is blurry. Your Chance to Ask a Photograher! |

I agree that it depends on whether you are a worrier or not. I am, and I LOVED the Angelcare. You can just glance at the parent unit and see the little metronome ticking that tells you it is detecting the baby's breathing, and many a time that glance was enough to get me back to sleep. I also agree you should not use it as an excuse to violate any of the SIDS rules, especially with thick bumpers (also love the breathable baby mesh bumper). I stopped using the monitor when my daughter began to really roll around in the crib, around 8 months or so, which would make the monitor beep (and occasionally go to full alarm). At that point it was costing me more sleep than I was gaining, but those first few months it was the best device in the whole wide world. Opinions on Baby Motion Monitors Good Questions |

I always have a cool mist humidifier running in the nursery. Can't prove whether it helps, but I figure it can't hurt in the dry climate where we live. Crane makes some really cute ones. I have the penguin:

Some dear friends hosted a sip and see for us after our adopted daughter was placed with us. It was perfect for our situation, but I think it would also be a good way to have friends and (nearby) extended family see the baby without having to schedule each visit separately.

The paper system would work, but I'll bet there is an app for that. I use Baby Geek, which lets you track medication (and diapers, sleep, feedings) and set alarms and works for multiple kids, and you can also sync with another iPhone, iTouch, or iPad. Tracking Medications Good Questions |
