[blparent] Suggestions about products helpful when baby arrives

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Right, I used one like that.  The bear has a box inside it that makes sounds 
when you put in batteries, and its arms hook to the outside of a crib with 
Velcro, so it's safe out of the baby's way.  If you don't want to buy 
something that specifically makes womb sounds, you can use a white noise 
machine set to sound like the ocean or a stream of water.  That teddy bear 
was one of the things that I was given, that was nice enough to have, but 
that I wouldn't have gone out and spent money on if it hadn't been handed 
down.

"How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, 
compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of 
the weak and the strong.  Because someday in life you will have been all of 
these."--George Washington Carver, 1864-1943, American scientist

>> Hi Bridget. If you're going to breast feed, I highly recommend a boppy. 
>> If you don't know what that is, it goes around your belly and you rest

>> him or her to more easily reach your breast.
>>
>> I also recommend a soother. Kahlan loves hers!
