      What Is The Best Towel For A Baby?

      The Cuddlecloth! I urge all new mothers and mothers with infants to purchase a Cuddlecloth! It is the safest, softest, largest towel available for infants.  This towel will last from newborn to around 10-12 months (only because your baby may outgrow it by then!)  The towel can be washed over and over again and won't lose its absorbency or thickness!

      When I was looking for a quality towel for my infant, I only had one criteria to meet: Thickness.

      Then I learned about the Cuddlecloth and realized there was so much more to a baby towel than meets the eye!

      1. Safety: First and foremost, SAFETY is number one.  I didn't realize how unsafe and scary it is to pick up a newborn/infant from a tub or sink!  Wet babies are extremely slippery! Bathing a newborn by yourself is a job in itself.  Figuring out how to grab a baby from the tub and wrap in a towel is a two man job! The Cuddlecloth allows this process to be done by one person, SAFELY! The towel wraps around your neck so that you are HANDS FREE.  You pick up your baby in a natural motion and place him/her on your shoulder.  Then you have a free hand to pull the hood of the towel around your baby.  Here is a video to show you:

          2.   Large: 30% Larger than the average baby towel measuring: 45" x 30" x 45"

          3.  Soft: Made of 100% Cotton Terry Velour

          4.  Thickness: Thick & Super Absorbent!

          5.  The Look: White towel with adorable blue or pink piping to choose from.  The Cuddlecloth can also be personalized!  This makes it a perfect baby shower gift!  Look out for new designs coming late 2013-2014!! We are extremely excited to see what new designs Cuddlecloth has been working on!

      You may purchase a Cuddlecloth Here!

      First Solid Foods Recipes For Your Baby!

      When it was time to start solid foods, I was pretty clueless when it came to what was safe for my baby to eat.  I compiled a list of recipes to ease first time mom stress when it comes to baby food! It is generally accepted to start solid foods when your baby is 4-6 months old.  I started my little guy at 6 months (I recommend this age, but ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR).  Making your own baby food is extremely easy, cost efficient, and healthy!

      IMPORTANT!: Always use the 4 DAY RULE - Every 4 days you may introduce a new fruit or vegetable.  This allows you time to determine if your baby is allergic to a certain fruit or vegetable.  This rule should stay in place until you have introduced a variety of fruits and vegetables.  I used this rule for about a month and a half.

      Some say that you should ONLY introduce vegetables at first.  This way your baby will not get a "sweet" tooth and only want to eat fruits.  I introduced both fruits and vegetables. 

      Back to the Recipes!!

      1. Avocado: Cut in half, take out the pit, peel, and MASH! Make sure the avocado is ripe and mash to a puree consistency.  You may add a little water or breast milk to create your desired consistency.
      2. Bananas: Peel and MASH!
      3. Apples/Pears/Peaches: Peel, take out the seeds/nut, cut into 1/2inch pieces, STEAM, and blend to a puree.
      4. Sweet Potato: I wash, poke holes, wrap in foil, then bake them in the oven at 450 degrees for 1 hr and 15 min, then BLEND (with a little water or breast milk)
      5. Butternut Squash: I like to bake it - Cut in half, place in a baking dish FACE DOWN with a little water at 350 degrees for about 1 hr. or you can cut into cubes, STEAM, and BLEND.
      6. Carrots: I get baby carrots, I STEAM and BLEND (add a little water or breast milk)
      7. Peas: STEAM and BLEND (add a little water or breast milk and make sure they are cooked completely!)
      8. Mango: Peel, slice and MASH!
      9. Green Beans: STEAM and BLEND (add a little water or breast milk)

      Once you have used the 4 Day Rule on each of the above, you can begin to combine them for an even better tasting meal!

      You're Pregnant! Now What?! 9 Things To Do When You Find Out You're Pregnant

      pregnant-what-to-do-next

      You just found out you are pregnant! Now what?!

      Relax, enjoy the ride.  There will be ups and downs, crying and laughing, nerves and anxiety.  So be ready for this amazing journey we call PREGNANCY.

      1. First things first, if you haven't already, make an appointment with your doctor and start taking prenatal vitamins.  
      2. Become part of a baby community site such as babycenter.com or whattoexpect.com.  You will be able to communicate with other soon to be mothers that are experiencing the same changes as you.  Your friends and family will also be a huge help during this time.  Don't hesitate to get their opinions and advice (especially those who are mothers).
      3. Make sure you are eating healthy, staying hydrated and exercising (always check with your doctor to make sure your exercise routine is appropriate).
      4. Budget, Budget, Budget.  Come up with a plan.  Find out the cost of the hospital and doctor visits (your OBGYN may have a printout of these costs), furniture, diapers, other baby items you may not get at your shower, etc. I suggest you start buying diapers now, once a month.  Like I said in my previous post, most stores will let you exchange diapers for a different size, so it's okay if you end up with too many of one size!  
      5. Start a journal -- write in it as much as you can! You will love to look back at all of the emotions and experiences you went through while being pregnant.  After my pregnancy, I made a photo journal book (I used shutterfly.com) with all of the photos and journal entries I made throughout my pregnancy.  It's a book that will live on forever.  
      6. Spend time with your other half! Once the baby is here, you will not be able to have that one on one time with your partner.  Go on a babymoon or mini vacation.  
      7. Discuss parenting methods with your partner.  Make sure you are both on the same page before he/she arrives!  
      8. Take it one day at a time, some days will be hard and some will amaze you.  That first little kick will bring tears to your eyes.  The first set of hiccups will make you giggle.  Talk, sing, and dance with your little bean.  
      9. Don't sweat the small stuff.  Some things will seem like huge obstacles; hospital bills, daycare, baby shower, the sugar test!  They will all work themselves out.  The most important thing right now is the health of your baby, so don't stress!

      Baby Registry Must Haves

      Here is a list I compiled for must-have registry items.  I know that the lists you will receive from the store you register at will be extremely long (and overwhelming!), so I wanted to make things easier for you! 

      Also, after your baby shower, use your registry as a check off list!

      •Diapers, DIAPERS, Diapers!! First and foremost please ask for diapers!  You can put it on the baby shower invitation “in lieu of a card please bring a pack of diapers” or “please bring a pack of diapers to enter the raffle” You can grab a $10 gift card from your favorite store and raffle it off!

      *please note that you can exchange diaper sizes at various stores, so don’t get overwhelmed if you get 10 packs of newborn size diapers!

      •Books — You can also ask for books in lieu of a card!

      •Crib

      •Crib Mattress

      •2 Crib Sheets (this will allow for easy nights when the bed is wet/soiled!)

      •1 Mattress Pad/Cover

      •Mobile

      •Hamper

      •Bassinet or Pack n Play (I used a Pack n Play as my bassinet, so it served more than one purpose)

      •1 Pack n Play Sheet

      •Dresser (double as changing table)

      •Changing Pad

      •2 Changing Pad Covers (this is a must!)

      •Diaper Caddy (put on top of dresser for changing necessities: Diapers, Diaper Rash Cream, Baby Powder, Wipes, Brush etc)

      •Glider

      •1 Blanket (trust me you will receive more than one!)

      •Infant Car Seat

      •2 Car Seat Bases (these make life so much easier!)

      •Convertible Car Seat (KutsieBabies will grow out of their infant car seats before you know it! )

      •Travel System Stroller

      •“Snap n Go” Stroller (space and back saver!)

      *If you plan on breastfeeding I suggest the following!

      •Lasinoh Soothies Gel Pads (these are the best!) but other brands should suffice!  These are a must!

      •Johnson & Johnson Breast Pads (loved this brand! -- they stay put and last a long time!)

      •Medela Electric Pump of your choice (I prefer the Medela Pump In Style, if you are only going to be pumping occasionally I suggest you go with a manual pump to save money)

      •Breast Milk Storage (I use the tubes for milk that will be used within 5 days and the bags for milk that I am going to freeze)

      •1 Nursing Cover

      •Nursing Pillow (this is optional, some people love their Boppy, but I didn’t really use mine.  All you really need is a pillow –if that!)

      •1 Pack of Bottles (I suggest registering for one pack in case the KutsieBaby does not like the brand! I chose Tommee Tippee)

      •Bottle Drying Rack

      •Bottle Brush

      •Bottle Warmer (so convenient and totally worth the money! — remember you can NOT microwave breast milk!)

      •A cooler for your Bottles/Breast Milk (most of the Medela Pumps will come with a cooler and ice pack, make sure you check)

      •Nipples (I suggest registering for 1 pack of each different flow of nipple, NOTE: if nursing you may not use these at all)

      •3 Packs of Pacifiers (I suggest picking two different brands — my KutsieBaby hated Tommee Tippee but LOVED MAM — register for sizes newborn, 0-6 months and 6 months & up)

      •1 Pack of Bibs (another item that people will buy you even if you don’t register for it!)

      •2 Burp Cloths (little burp cloths are useful in the beginning)

      •6 Receiving Blankets (okay, you will most likely get even more, and don’t freak out, they WILL be used! I loved using my receiving blankets as burp cloths.  They are much bigger so they work great! I also used them to swaddle my KutsieBaby for the first few weeks home from the hospital and as a lightweight blanket for our many outings!  They will get dirty quick so the more the merrier!)

      •High Chair (I recommend a Space Saver High Chair, remember those KutsieBabies grow fast!)

      •1 Set of Bowls

      •1 Pack of Spoons

      •2 Tubes of Diaper Rash Cream (I suggest two different brands)

      •Diaper Bag (any will do as long as it has lots of compartments!)

      •Bath Tub

      •Grooming Kit

      •2 Packs of Wash Cloths

      •4 Towels (guests will buy more!) **I highly recommend a CuddleCloth Towel (they are much bigger than baby towels you buy in the stores and are designed so your KutsieBaby doesn’t slip out of your hands!)

      •1 Bottle of the Following: Baby Shampoo, Baby Body Wash, Baby Lotion, Baby Powder (guests will buy more!)

      •Thermometer

      •Humidifier (newborns get very stuffy!)

      •Monitor

      •Aspirator: NoseFrida Nasal Aspirator is amazing!! It works so much better than the usual bulb aspirators.  This is a MUST MUST HAVE!

      • Gas relief drops (this was another life saver!)

      •Play Gym

      •Jumper

      •Bouncer or Swing (if you go with bouncer make sure it bounces on its own! I got both and don’t really use the swing)

      •2 Car Seat Toys (guests will buy more — plus they like picking out their favorite!)

      •3 Different Types of Teethers (I LOVE Sophie!)

      •1 Rattle (guests will buy more!)

      *Here is a list of some small helpful items, but not necessarily a must!

      •Diaper Bag Dispenser

      •Pacifier Holder (so convenient, it hooks onto the diaper bag!)

      •Pacifier Wipes (1 pack should last you a while)

      You may notice, I did not add clothing to the list, guests LOVE buying clothing and they LOVE buying clothing that THEY think is KUTE!  I also avoided all of those swaddle items!  My KutsieBaby did not like to be swaddled and if I did swaddle (which I did in the very beginning) I used a receiving blanket!
