Save on those baby wipes. When changing your baby’s diaper, don’t use wipes unless you’re cleaning POOP. Just dry baby with a washcloth!

When you are having your breakfast, lunch or dinner at home, please have your baby there also. Even if your baby is not having a meal it is important for socialization and bonding with the family.
Be sure to use safe practices as to the placement of your baby. Do not put your baby in a bouncy chair or anything on the table where your baby could be knocked off the table by you or others.
This almost happened to my niece because her mother was not thinking.

A new bill signed into law by President Obama makes millions of children eligible to receive health insurance.
If your kids do not have health insurance, they are likely to be eligible, even if you are working and even if you have applied in the past and been turned down.
Your state (and every state) has its own program, with its own eligibility rules, but in many states, uninsured children 18 years old and younger, whose families earn up to $44,500 a year (for a family of four) are eligible for free or low-cost health insurance that pays for
Doctor visits, Dental care, Prescription medicines, Hospitalizations and much more.

If you are in the market for a Nanny, take a look at this book for some helpful information.
Hiring a nanny-and getting along with her afterward-may be one of the most important things that parents do, yet many of us approach the whole business with fear and trembling, or at least a lot of questions. Even parents who may manage dozens of employees at work can be at a loss when it comes to dealing with the person who will be looking after their children.
Nanny, au pair, caregiver-no matter the term, the thorny issues remain the same:
-How do you find someone you like and trust?
-Should you invite the nanny to Thanksgiving dinner?
-When should you raise her fee-and by how much?
-What should you do when the au pair is a flirt?
-How do you sort out the laundry and other chores?
-Nanny surveillance-should you spy?
The Nanny Book provides real, down-to-earth solutions for almost every conceivable issue or problem. Filled with advice gleaned through interviews with families and nannies, this book will turn parents into their own experts. Other books focus almost exclusively on hiring a caregiver. The Nanny Book is the only guide that gives smart, parent-tested solutions to those sticky situations that can make or break the relationship.
