Infant Sleeping in Parents' Bed

Quick question for moms out there who slept with their newborn/infant. What worked for you in terms of keeping baby safe while sleeping in your bed? Did you use an infant positioner? Did baby just lay next to you on top of your covers? I'm hoping for some advice on this. Also, how did you keep your baby warm/cool enough when sleeping with you? Thanks!

Baby Boy Wont Go Poopie!!!!

I am soooooo frustrated! My 4 month old son is not having regular bowel movements and no one seems to care! I've talked to my pediatrician and haven't really been able to resolve the issue. Up until 6 weeks he was fine, after that, things changed. He was mostly breast fed (75-80%) and supplemented maybe once a day for the first three months. After that, I went back to work and now he is exclusively formula fed. While breast feeding, he was going once or twice a week. At that time the pediatrician said that he was probably absorbing...

Stylish and Functional Diaper Bag???

Does one exist? Baby will be here in a few weeks and I am still unprepared. Going through my list of things I'll need and this is one of them. Don't want the typical diaper bag (you know, the types that *look* like a diaper bag), something that looks more fashionable and less baby-ish. Thanks in advance!.

We are reusing our plastic bags we get from the grocery store in the pail. It is small so we need to take it out almost every day. Right now our little girl sleeps in our room. She is getting ready to move to the crib pretty soon. My concern is the smell that sometimes seems to creep up on us from the diaper pail. Once she is sleeping in the same room as the diaper pail I don...

Cleaning Wipes for Breast/nipple and for Medela Pump Parts and Storage Bags

Hi, I'm stocking up for breastfeeding supplies and wanted to know... Do I have to use the cleansing pads specifically sold to clean your breast before breastfeeding or can I use baby wipes or other natural wipes instead? What about cleaning the Medela breast pump parts? They sell a specific wipe just for that too. Can I use something else? Does anyone have a recommendation for something I can use for all of these purposes? Lastly, I'm looking for recommendations on breast storage bags. I heard about Gerber, Lansinoh and Medela...
