Sleep Sacks– how did we sleep well without them?
Sleep sacks are perfect for newborns and up. They keep baby warm and are safe. using a blanket is unsafe and they end up kicking them off once they’re a few weeks old. the sleep sack zips down so that it’s easy to remove and the zipper top stays away from babies face. I love the Halo sleep sacks. They come in several different styles and sizes start at newborn and go all the way up to 5T. We have micro fleece and cotton sleep sacks for our little one. I hear you can even find something similar for adults!

Total Baby is an app I have been using since baby was born. It sure beats entering information on the paper forms they give you at the hospital. Could you imagine they expected us to manually keep track of babies BM and feedings on a faded paper chart using a pen! Thank gosh my tech husband came to the rescue with this app. I use it on my iPod touch and it can also be used on iPhone. It keeps track of feedings (really useful if your breastfeeding), bowl movements (if you’re a parent you know how important this is!), sleeping, baths, activities like crawling, tummy time–really important for baby to get this during the first few months in order to build his neck muscles, sun exposure etc.. It also includes a diary, Milestones, keeps track of doctor visits, babies growth, vaccines and allergies.
How did new parents live without this?

Baby has been scratching his face lately. My heart just sank when I woke up to feed him at 2 a.m. and see a large cut with fresh blood. We tried the baby mittens but he manages to wiggle them off. Solution– for the past few nights we have used socks instead of the mittens and they seem to be working wonderfully. He can’t take them off and he doesn’t seem to mind them as long as you make sure he’s fast asleep before putting them on.

On February 1, 2010 my life went from managing several projects within the fast paced environment of a daily newspaper to raising a baby. Of course this isn’t anything unusual or rare and may seem down right boring to anyone other than me, but it has certainly changed my life and I thought I would blog about it here. Perhaps some of my blogs may even be useful to others– baby products that I have discovered and like or dislike, observations I make in baby land, parenting tips (not that I’m an expert but it’s amazing what you can learn from trail & error), and other stuff. Welcome to Project Baby.
