Baby stuff and registry

I didn't mean to sound like I was attacking you luckies4me :D Most people knwo that but there are still some who are out there who don't know it. I may be a little over sensitive to the issue because my husband is a q-tip user and it makes me squirm everytime :rolleyes:

I second you on that one! I thought it worked wonders for me!!! Plus sometimes you just need to pump. I had so much milk I could have fed three kids, so I had to pump. I would store it in the freezer to use at a later date. :)

LOL. I am too, but only because I have allergies and the only way I can ever itch my ears is with a q-tip. I hate it.
:( It gets so bad sometimes that I can hardly sleep. Plus I can't stand water in my ears after I take a shower....drives me insane! I really need to try and talk to the doctor about eleviating the itch. :(

oh man :( that would be annoying!

I personally dislike Pampers. They always seemed to leak when I used them with my first. Huggies is OK, but I prefer Luvs. I've never had a leakage issue with them before. But diapers are always changing and Pampers might have some good diapers out by now. Just make sure you use the newborn diapers with the notch cut into them the first week before their umbilical cord falls off, so that they aren't irritated. If you don't have diapers with the notch cut out you can cut it out yourself with scissors. Of course there are always cloth diapers as well. I have cloth diapers on hand just in case, along with a few pairs of plastic pants. I'd love to use cloth diapers full time but it's so darn expensive to wash clothes here and unfortunately there are no places locally that offer a diaper service. Plus, cloth diapers make great burp rags! :)

As far as diaper rash ointment I personally LOVE Aveenos or Berts Bees. If you want something a little less expensive though Desitin creamy is nice. It's not super thick like all the others so it wipes away easily. You're not spending ten minutes wiping it off.

I agree WHOLEHEARTEDLY!! :D

I was helping to take care of my niece from the time she was 9 mos old right about until we left (so for almost 1.5 years). Luvs are, imo, the best disposable diapers. Aveenos and Burts Bees are also, imo, the best of their products. Another thing I love about those ointments is that they don't leave so much of a greasy residue and is easier to wash off your hands. Like, you put the cream on the butt of baby but then it's on your hands and is really creamy and greasy and kinda hard to come off? Well, those particular brands are easier to wash off of your hands, it seemed.

I am so sorry! I lost my internet for a few weeks and am just catching up. :o

I couldn't find the checklist that I used, but found one that should be pretty helpful.

Here you go.
