Handy Dandy Tips: Baby

*Instead of buying an expensive nursing cover, go to your local craft store! Buy clips and ribbon to create a behind-the-neck clip that can turn any baby blanket into a nursing cover.

A friend made her own for $1.98 with supplies from Joann Fabrics.

*Before registering, check out Baby Bargains 8th edition. Its a superb Consumers Report style book outlining brands, stores, must haves, and wastes of money for all things baby. We've gotten so many great tips from this book!

*Check out the website nhtsa.gov for information on carseats and safety ratings.

*Our new favorite: Once Upon a Child second-hand retail shops. They are a chain and hold high standards. All items are checked for recall before they are accepted/sold. We bought a brand new sleeper for our January bean for $3.50. Parents can also sell their gently used goods!
