[blparent] Measuring water for bottles and diaper changing tips

[Judy Jones]

You're right about the cups, although I now recognize the cup sizes by themselves after years and years of cooking.  Plus, I am starting to see cups in more than the traditional half, third and fourth cups.

The water idea is great, except when on the go with baby.

I remember being in airport layovers and changing baby quickly between flights and also on the plane.

Hi,
I had a couple of ideas. First of all, for diaper changing I'm often run the baby under warm water. Just make sure to check the water before and turn it off only after I take the baby out. This ensures that they are totally clean. It is actually also better than wipes especially for sensitive skin. To clarify, I hold the baby with one arm under the stomach  and use my free hand to make sure that they are clean. Then I have a towel on hand to wrap them in. 

Also  for measuring cups there is a great website called the braille superstore they have many items but they also have a great variety of measuring cups they have ones with braille different size cups, and even one that is adjustable to different sizes from one cup down to a quarter of a cup when you just move the lever over. Also, any traditional measuring cup set has different size cups. And if you just put one inside the other you can count to know which one is which size for example  the  biggest cup will be one pop the next size will be a half  cup at Cetra I hope these help.
You can also put a piece of duct tape around the handle of the size measuring cup you need. This does not come off when you wash the dishes. I love to use duct tape for so many things!
