Bedding for babies? Like shoes, baby socks rarely stay on. All those wiggles eventually work the sock over the heel and then—poof!—the sock is nowhere to be found. But Robeez socks have an added band of elastic gathering around the ankle, making it less likely those suckers are going anywhere. The socks are a stretchy blend of cotton, spandex and nylon and have non-skid soles for when your baby is ready to start stepping. (Robeez also makes cute shoes.)
The BOBA carrier has been in the top 5 of our best baby carrier list for 3 years now, and for some great reasons. It is comfortable, stylish, durable, and very well-made and reliable. The thick waistband tends to support a lot of the baby’s weight so your shoulders don’t get too sore, with a nice even distribution around the body. We also liked that the waistband has two adjustment points, which helps quite a bit to even out the cinching around the waist. It also has the adjustments for the shoulder straps right under the armpits, helping you customize the fit even when wearing your baby. Some advantages of the BOBA over the Ergo is that it includes an infant insert, supports from 7 pounds all the way up to 45 pounds (like the LILLEBaby), and it has a small zippered pocket along the waist. Though working with an infant insert is a bit awkward relative to having it built in to the system. It also includes little foot straps (stirrups) to support tired hanging legs. Also, we found the range of strap adjustment is very wide, fitting a wider range of body shapes and sizes. So this carrier does, in fact, have a couple advantages over the Ergo.
Folk Style: This year we’re seeing more and more designers getting inspired by traditional folk ware and adding their own modern twist. We saw this style back in hippie days of the 60s, and now it’s making a comeback. This look includes feathers, floral embroidery, beads, geometric patterns, intricate thread work, and pom-poms.
So, how do you strike a balance? My solution is to split the wardrobe into two categories, with the dividing factor being the price. My kids each have a number of high-quality garments suited for holidays, fancy meals out, and other special occasions, coupled with cheap, disposable clothing for art sessions, play dates at the park, or pasta dinners with red sauce. It’s no different than how most adults build their wardrobes, frankly.
What are the Types of Carriers? Most parents swear that baby carriers are a lifesaver, so you really can’t go wrong adding one to your registry. Baby carriers come in three styles: Wraps: A super-long piece of stretchy fabric you configure and tie around your body, usually over your shoulders and around your mid-section, to create a carrier. Slings: A wide piece of fabric that goes over one shoulder and across your torso. Structured Carriers: More like a backpack with straps over the shoulder and a padded carrying “pack” that can be placed on your chest or back. Read extra details on here.
They are not so attractive, but can keep the child from rain or snow, and it is important for his health. Eventually, these jackets as well as rain pants and rubber boots reach the goal – the kids are packed dry and warm even in wind and rain. Like many other moms, I am happy to buy most things second-hand whenever possible. It’s good for my pocketbook, reduces waste, and there is something endearing about dressing my boys in well-loved clothes that come with a history. While eBay has generally worked well for my shopping needs, you still have to wade through a lot of junk to find someone who sells quality used kids’ gear.
