I only had this bathtub for my last two babies but I wish I had it for my first two. It has a nice mesh backing so water is flowing and baby is not laying on a good plastic back. Dirty water and any messes baby makes while relaxed in the tub are much...

Ultimately baby wraps are a very long piece of stretchy fabric. Watch a couple of YouTube videos to get comfortable with wrapping the carrier around your body and placing your baby correctly. Having a baby wrap was a lifesaver for me with my babies. ...

If you plan to be super active with your baby I highly recommend the BOB jogging stroller. I had the double and it was a dream. It has suspension so going off pavement was still smooth, the seats laid back nicely, and there is generous sunshade. The ...
