Jeanne answers:
One of the best baby items I think is a bouncy chair (with the vibration). We didn’t register for it but got one for our shower and boy are we soooo glad we did!
I had my daughter in March of this year. We had the shower in January. Anywhere from a month to 2 months is good.
I used to think Avent bottles were the best but I hate them now. I have had nothing but problems. THEY LEAK! I called & complained. They didn’t really help much. DON’T GET AVENT!
Best diapers are Pamper Swaddlers. More snug fit (not tight) and they are softer. Conform more to baby.
Baby clothing: what to get would be plain white onesies for each age set for a year (0-3, 3-6, 6-9, 9-12 or just 12). Lots of sleepers and some sleep bags as you shouldn’t use blankets in a crib. We did at first and too many close calls so now she uses sleep bags.
A convertible crib would be the best I would think. We don’t have one. It was someone else’s but it’s beautiful just the same.
A non-flammable mattress would be the best. Sealy is good brand.
OH-you’d want to get at least 2 waterproof mattress covers and at least 8 crib sheets. Just a recommendation. As far as what’s best I would say any brand for those items. Get an Especially For Baby contour changing pad. And the absolute BEST changing pad covers would be the soft & smooth ones by Koala.
Gerber is great for the onesies although I just went to Target and bought a pack of white onesies that were Circo brand and they seem great!
Koala and Gerber are very good brands. Pampers is awesome. I tend to like Huggies Sensitive wipes better than Pampers wipes because they are actually a little thicker, which is nice.
You should try to get a whole travel system because you will also need to purchase a base separately but if you buy the system it comes with all of that (carseat, base & stroller).
A playpen is a good idea to have downstairs or in another room or packed up ready to go for over at company’s houses. One with a changing area that you can attach to it is nice but not totally necessary.
I can’t remember when I first started shopping for my baby. I honestly can’t. Well maybe when I was a couple months old. I might not have bought anything then but I looked.
When I was 5 1/2 weeks pregnant we told our parents. And that’s it. We bought each gramma & grampa (yes I know I spelled it wrong but that’s how I say it) a bib that said “World’s Best Grampa” etc. We went out to eat with my parents and gave them the presents. When they unwrapped them, my dad’s jaw dropped and my mom was excited as well. His parents were too 
For everyone else we waited til the first ultrasound at 8 weeks. Should’ve waited for everyone at least til then but we just couldn’t.
Everyone was friggin excited!!!!!!!
Michael asks…
Dear NON- Maternal mothers or anyone in my situation! Am I a baby hater!?!?!?
My boyfriends two year old is a complete tyrant. I understand shes TWO, but she has zero discipline, she scratches my boyfriend in the face, will not let ANYONE pick her up or make her food, also wont let you get her a bottle, open a snack, every time I fall asleep she screams LOUDLY in my face, ‘No’ is her favorite word as was mine, but she will throw anything in site and scream “NO!!!”, she has malicious intent, she picked up an antique mirror of mine and when I walked towards her and quietly said ‘Saylor may I please have my special mirror?” guess what happened, one of the many items she has destroyed in my house. She screams 85% of the day even when asked if she’d like to go to the park, Chuck E. Cheese, ice cream or a snack, knowingly lies (Daddy- POO POO, no poo poo, EVER… she knows.), and basically gets everything she wants candy, toys, name it, it’s hers. Shaun also takes her to multiple activities each day IE- Park and Chuck E. Cheese or the Zoo and toy shop, sometimes more! I’ll tell you I am NOT a kid person, but it’s not as if I can‘t stand children!I love them! I am the oldest of 3 and have 3 much younger cousins. My mother and two best friends love kids and one is a full time ‘professional’ babysitter and they cannot stand her, avoid her at all costs. Also Shaun makes excuses for her when my jaw is dropped ‘She doesn’t know any better,” “She’s tired/hungry/whatever. I wish her parents would be around other parents of young children, I have spoken to my family in great detail and they think this is highly disruptive for her! Keep in mind he’s 31, I’m 22, and I have zero ideas about how to approach this matter because it’s definitely not my place. She’s at the house Sunday night through Tuesday morning and when Saturday night comes around I get nervous and bummed. I told Shaun my sleep schedule is not baby-friendly so I will stay at my friends or mothers. Please help me cope, because I love Shaun SO dearly this is my only obstacle in our relationship. Thanks in advance <3

Mandy asks…
My name is Shawn Huntley recently I officially broke up with my girlfriend of seven years. During the seven ye
years many things have happen. We had a beautiful baby girl named Shanda after having the baby I moved in with her from Charlotte, NC to Newberry,SC while living with her I held down two jobs until by her request I quit. She wanted to work and neither of us wanted to pay for daycare services. Soon I did miss being the breadwinner and hated the role of the ” houseman. ” Cleaning, cooking, taking care of the kids, and etc. Problems in our relationship brewed and we broke up and got back together a number of times. The time that my mother daughter got pregnant again we were broken up and she was dating someone new. I admit we had relations twice around the time she was pregnant she convinced me the baby was mine and not the other gentleman she was in a relationship with. November of 2006 we were over and I moved in with my older sister until I got back on my feet. My daughter mother called and told she was putting child support on me. During the phone conversation in front of two witnesses she stated the youngest girl wasn’t my child. As you may know any man would be heart broken to hear anything like that. I lost my temper and took my anger and frustration out on some of her neighbors cars which led to my arrest. Child support was filed and I paid it for a couple of months until she dropped it. When she though there was a chance of us getting back together. Anyway while in Charlotte, NC I started two jobs. One loading and unloading items off of trucks for Family Dollars and a bouncer at downtown night club. Due to my children mother I could only see my children when she permitted but the children did come and stay with me at my sister house for weeks at a time. I feed, clothed and spoiled my children. My family which is my sister, mother, my aunt, and my own grandmother love and spoil the children to the end of this world. (You now see I said children she later changed her story and denied the whole statement.) After time and a lot of hard work we decided to give it one more chance and it lasted for about 6 months. I quit my job I held in Newberry and moved back in with my sister. I been living with sister for about a month now and once again my child mother is filing child support and she has claimed that the children hasn’t seen me in a year in a half. The kids were just with me the week of June 14 – June 19. My question is how can I beat this case? I’m not a deadbeat father I love both of the children dearly. Is there anyway I can beat this case for child support and maybe receive custody of my kids? We were never married and my name isn’t on my youngest daughter birth certificate if that any information you need.
Jeanne answers:
If you want custody, you will have to find a lawyer.
A side note: the reason your relationship kept having trouble b/c you were reversing roles. We are programmed to be certain ways, no matter how pc it is to say differnet the truth of the matter is that men are meant to be the head of household and women are meant to be the heart of the household. You guys probably would have been better off financially and romantically if you both were working, and your babies were in a loving day care. Also, do you still love her? Maybe get some couples counseling. Maybe get pre-marital counseling.
Susan asks…
What is the best way to remove small, formula stains at the neckline of a young baby’s onsies, dresses, etc.?
Hi! I’m a seller on e-bay who specializes in adult clothing. Well, I now have a client who would like me to sell all of her her baby‘s newborn – 12 month clothes. About 1/2 of the 150 pieces were never worn – I mean how many onesies can a baby model in one day? Ha Ha
Of the other 1/2, 95% were worn 1-2 times and are in absolutely perfect condition.
NOW, I’M VERY PICKY ABOUT WHAT I PUT MY NAME ON WHEN IT COMES TO MY E-BAY SELLER REPUTATION. I want everything, sparkling clean, every button inplace, no sign of the slightest tear, etc. I’ve worked hard for my reputation and I want to keep it.
Here’s my dilemma – I have 15 pieces (mostly onsies) that, RIGHT AT THE COLLAR – where the baby‘s bib probably slipped down a bit, there is a 1/2″ – 1 1/2″ slight discoloration – which I already know is baby formula. Now, I take each item and examine it outside to make sure I don’t miss even the slightest stain – I know, there’s medication for folks like me! So, the more normal person would miss at least 8 of these stains. BUT I KNOW THEY ARE THERE and they won’t ‘go to market’ with any stain whatsover. I’d rather pull the item from the lot than to sell it with a stain.
Here’s my question: Of the products on the market right now (and remember that we’re dealing with delicate, soft, cuddly pastel 100% cotton fabric – that has had the stain “washed in” does anyone know what stick, spray, soak, incantation or whatever might work to REMOVE THE STAIN – BUT NOT DISSOLVE THE FABRIC?
If these 15 items weren’t as cute as a bug’s ear (and isn’t that a most disgusting saying….) I’d donate them to charity right now. But they are simply precious and I owe my client the best return on her investment of clothing.
Thanks to all the Moms and Dads who can offer me some thoughts. I’ve never had a child (CAN YOU TELL??) and am just getting used to “2T” meaning “2 Toddler” rather than “2 Tall.” And what the heck is “toddling” anyway and why should I even worry about it? Oh, I tell you raising a little one is a VERY SPECIAL world and God Bless all of you who’ve taken on the task.
Meanwhile, I’ll just keep tring to brush my kiitten’s teeth… [See, I don't have it entirely easy, either!! Ha Ha]
Thanks. BTW – serious answers only – I don’t need to be told I’m nuts to worry about this. I’ve already explained why I’m obsessed – it’s my reputation on the line. Okay – give me some good ideas – I’m anxiously waiting!!
Barb
Jeanne answers:
I’ve had three in diapers at one time so I know a little about stains. A gentle and great stain remover is called Bac-Out. It is an enzyme cleaner made by Bio Kleen. You can also fill a bucket or tub and soak the onsies with a denture tablet or two. Drying in the sun also helps.
Richard asks…
Math Helpp!?
okay well i have been trying to figure out these questions but they are pretty confusing. please help guys. and tell me how you got your answer. thanks!
1. A baby book lists 561 names for girls. How many different versions of a first name and a middle name can you select?
2. A mall vendor can put a computer-generated picture of you on any of the 30 items that the vendor sells. You can also choose from 15 different backgrounds. How many different items can you buy?
thanks guys
Jeanne answers:
1) you can have 561 versions of 1st name and 560 (if middle name is not same as first name) versions of middle name..hence, together..you have
561*560= 314,160 different versions
2) 30 different item and 15 different background, you have
30*15 = 450 different items you could buy
