PARENTS: Don't waste your $$....

Top 5 Wastes-of-Money:

5. Baby Teethers. Freeze Mini-Bagels or crinkle cut french fries and let them suck on these. Do not leave baby unattended though!

4. Organic Baby Food. It is so easy to boil most veggies and then puree in blender. Freeze in ice cube trays then bag in freezer safe bags. When you are ready to use either pull out a few cubes and let set at room temp or microwave until thawed (careful with the temp) Easy Peasy and you will save your Mooolah.

3. RoBeez for non-walking infants. Thick socks are best until they scoot around and then Robeez are great, they don't slip off as much as others. When baby starts walking...Switch to hard soled shoes like stride-rite.

2. Baby Bumpers for the crib. They looks soooo cute and they match everything, but they are a waste of $. Research shows that babies with crib bumpers are more likely to fall victim to SIDS. Also parents...invest in sleepers, do not put blankets in crib with baby. If you think they are cold while sleeping dress them warmer!

1. Bumbo Seat, they are great for about 1 month until your child pops out of them and hits the floor. Instead buy 2-3 boppys and prop them up. Boppys don't only work great for this, they are great pillows for mom/dad and baby when baby is sitting up alone.

DESITIN CREAMY DIAPER OINTMENT (not store brand)
AQUAPHOR BALM
