Question by Adje J: Recent mommies: what are the best baby slings, all in one strollers, and baby bath tubs/showers?
I’m going to be a new mommy in March. My hubby and I are trying to finish up our registry, but can’t seem to decide on a few last items. Any recent mommies out there have some recommendations on these items: baby slings (comfortable, easy to use preferably), a stroller that also has the baby carrier and car seat holder, and the easiest to use baby bath tub/shower center?

Thanks for the input!! :)

Best answer:

Answer by Dyot
Sling: if you want a sling sling, the Maya Wrap is one of the best. If you want a soft carrier, the Ergo is fantastic. [Get the infant insert...]

Best bath: yours. Just bring baby in the tub with you.

Best all-in-one stroller: sorry, no idea. Those things look like nightmares to me. Why push a massive ugly thing when baby could be in the sling? Leave your car seat in the car; small babies thrive on parents’ touch.

Baby Crying after Bath and before Last Feeding HELP!!?

Filed Under (Crying) by Julie Andrews on 04-04-2010

Hi everyone! My baby is almost 4 mos old. She sleeps well at night, on avg 5-6 hrs straight, sometimes 10 hrs straight. (We’re very lucky in that aspect.) The problem we are having is happening right before her last feeding. Bath at 7pm and she’s fine and happy. She cries when I put her down to dry and to dress her. She’s fine when I pick her up. She cries again when we lay her down to breastfeed. She calms down when we carry her and walk her around, but once we lie her down again to try and breastfeed, she cries again. This goes on for about 15 mins and sometimes more than 30 mins until she finally stops crying, eats and then falls asleep. She’s asleep around 8:30pm. This is our nightly ritual and it’s very exhausting. It’s like she hates lying down for any reason after her bath. Any advice on why she cries so much before bed? She doesn’t behave this way at all any other time of the day. Thanks for any advice!
