[blparent] baby shower

[Tammy]

Hi,

First and foremost, I would recommend you get a sling or wrap to carry your 
son in.  Baby carriers are great but require you to have lots of dexterity 
to get them in and out.  Slings are just a pouch and you put them in and 
take them out.  Wraps might be a little harder for you because you have to 
learn to tie them, but might be an option for you as well.
Also, a baby bath tub is a good thing to have, one that has the slanted 
section for the babys head.  I have a bathtub that turns in to a bath seat 
for when they get older and you can put them in the big bath tub.  I think 
safety first makes it and it's really handy to have.
The last thing I would recommend getting are those swaddle me blankets with 
the velcrow closures.  They keep wiggley babies wrapped up so they stay 
warm.  they soothed my little girl so she was able to sleep longer.

Hi everyone!
I am having a baby boy in june and am planning to host a baby shower
because this is my first baby and I do not have anything. I am totally
blind and have one left weak arm. so considering all this, what are
some of the baby items you as blind parents would recommend me to get
for the baby? It could be just baby stuff from blindness prospective
or just as a parent?

Also are there any blind parents in illinois close to rockford who
could help? does anyone have any baby items they want to get rid of, I
would appreciate all the help. I will be a single parent raising this
baby with no sighted help at all.
Thanks.
Hina.
