baby shower; Five essential baby shower gifts

by: Jessika Ryder
baby care
Ask first time parents-to-be what baby shower gifts they would like to receive. Watch their response -- youl quite likely see a look of real confusion on their faces! Or maybe theyl come up with a stock answer like iapers?or something similar. Exactly what a new arrival needs is not obvious to someone who never had a baby before. And many times, guests are in no better position either, when it comes to deciding on baby shower gifts. Of course, there a lot more to baby showers than just gifts. But helping parents to stock up for the new arrival is an important part of these celebrations. That why the following list of top five baby shower gifts can be quite useful. Top gift #1: Monitors Monitors are excellent anxiety-busters, especially for first-time parents. That why they hold the No.1 position on this list. Once they can listen to the baby from anywhere in the house, parents find their confidence levels zooming. The latest monitors are very sensitive and can pick up the slightest sound from baby, even her breathing. If your budget allows for it, take it one step further and buy a video monitor. Thatl really ease anxiety. However, they are much more expensive, so perhaps this can be a joint baby shower gift from two or more guests. Top Gift #2: Playtime mate for baby Babies love to play. Anything that helps them play and be active not only keeps them engaged, but also stimulates all round development. One of the best products for them is an activity gym or playpen. This is a soft cloth mat surrounded by a baby-friendly structure of bars and arches with many different toys suspended from various points. Baby gets to play in a safe environment. Basic activity gyms are excellent baby shower gifts. There are also more advanced ones that include noisemakers and a variety of toys. The suspended objects have different colors and textures to help develop baby cognitive abilities. There are also excellent portable gyms and playpens available to help parents move around with baby. These are lightweight and designed to be easy to carry around. Top Gift #3: Baby sling Most babies love being carried around in a sling. It the next best thing to being cuddled in mom arms. Many parents have had the experience where babies get restless and cry while they use other types of carriers, but immediately calm down when put into a sling. Baby slings are believed to foster a closer parent-child bond. Whether that true or not, slings do have another great advantage -- they leave your hands free to do other things. That definitely a big plus and is a reason why this baby shower gift is highly appreciated. Top Gift #4: The baby travel pack Moving around with baby can be a chore -- you have to pack a seemingly endless array of baby stuff even for short outings. One way to ease this problem is to have one or more baby travel packs handy. What a travel pack? Essentially, a diaper bag filled with baby necessities. It can include disposable diapers, a small toy or two, bib, complete change of clothes for baby, safety pins, and other supplies. It a great advantage if the parents receive more than one travel pack. Then one pack can always be kept ready whenever they want to go. No need to mess around with picking up and stuffing items into a diaper bag at the last minute. Top gift #5: Car seat Lots of parents say that a well-designed car seat is a wonderfully useful baby shower gift to receive. In fact, it useful from the moment they leave hospital with the baby. There are infant car seats available as well as infant-toddler convertible seats. The former can be used only till the baby is up to 22 pounds or so (typically). While the latter can usually be used till the first birthday. Want more special gifts for showers? Check out this page for more information: http://www.baby-showers-advisor.com/diaper-cakes.html Make sure these top five baby shower gifts are part of the event youe hosting. The guest of honor will end up thanking you long after the party gets over! About the author:Jessika Ryder is a successful writer and party enthusiast providing valuable information on baby showers

Common Childcare Myths

baby care
by: ARA
(ARA) - Most new parents get a lot of advice from family and friends, before and after the baby is born. Although it is well-intended, in some cases, it may not be completely accurate. There are a number of common misconceptions that are often passed along to new parents. Here are some of the more widespread childcare myths: * Some people believe that taking too many flash pictures of a baby can damage his eyes. Fortunately this isn true. * It not true that vinyl toys could expose children to harmful levels of substances. The Consumer Products Safety Commission recently found o demonstrated health risk?from vinyl toys for children. * Despite what you might have heard, you cannot spoil a baby by tending to her in the middle of the night, or by taking her out of the crib for feeding. The truth is you cannot spoil a baby, and in fact, you are providing some security and comfort when you answer their midnight cries. * Another myth is that you can use plastics in the microwave oven. If the manufacturer says it okay to microwave the plastic, then go ahead and do so. But, be careful about the temperature of the food. There are hot spots in microwaved food and you don want to burn the inside of your baby mouth. Parents have to be very careful where they get their information. The Internet can be a great source, but you have to be skeptical. There are a lot of good resources on the Web, but there is also a lot of misinformation. The best advice is to get a good pediatrician who can help you sort through all the dvice?about your children care that comes your way.

What to expect at a Baby Shower

Here's What to expect at a Baby Shower
by: Mike Yeager
baby care

A baby shower is a great way to welcome a new child and congratulate the new mother. Many mothers appreciate the help in purchasing the items they will need for their new baby. Commonly, baby showers are given only to new mothers or mothers who have not had a child in a long while. This way, friends and family, can help give the family the things babies need. Baby showers are a tradition, but what happens at a baby shower is less formal for sure. Sometimes, friends and family members will hold a baby shower for a new Mom as a surprise. Often times, new mothers will get several showers thrown for her first child from different groups, such as one from friends, one from the mothers side of the family, and maybe one from her friends at work. Regardless of how many, these get-togethers are a great way for people to welcome the new child. Planning a baby shower can be a lot of fun. For baby shower ideas, try checking online at the many websites that offer new parent information. Another place to get some ideas is at craft supply stores where there are aisles and aisles of ideas. Some things to consider for your baby shower are baby shower invitations and baby shower favors. Other things to think about are baby shower decorations! Baby shower games can make a boring party a lot of fun. Most of these can even be free baby shower games by using items from around your home. For example, you can take a roll of toilet paper with you to the party. Each guest has to guess how many individual sheets it will take to circle the mother to be. Giving away small gifts can make these games even more fun. Planning a baby shower and attending them can be a lot of fun. Take a trip to the craft store and look around at all the baby shower decorations, games, and favors they have to offer. Pull together some friends and plan a few baby shower games and make your own decorations. Pinks and blues in streamers and tablecloths can fill a room with excitement. Either way you are sure to make the mother to be happy and feeling loved.
