What Do I Buy - I’m Having A Baby
31st May 2010 by Babies No CommentsThose who know our three great kids who are all grown up now, ask us how we managed to do all this? In hindsight, it wasn’t easy. Since neither of us had any siblings growing up, we had a little more to learn about parenting. We had help from our parents, read a lot of books but there is no substitute for good old-fashioned experience. Expecting parents, fasten your seatbelts and get ready for this rollercoaster ride. It is the most amazing journey that you will ever undertake and it will all be worthwhile.
Just a couple of days ago, I went shopping to toys R us with one of our younger friends who are expecting twins. Even though, our kids are older we remember everything like it were yesterday.

This couple was looking at cribs and they were very suprised at the price differences between the regular cribs and the convertible cribs. Its easier to understand the price differences when you consider the longevity of a convertible crib. Most kids will outgrow the regular crib by the time they reach 2 years of age. This is when you go shopping for a single bed for your toddler. There will be years where you kids will grow very quickly and those smaller beds will not be enough. The perfect convertible crib will be there through the different phases of your baby’s life.

One way of course is to check on your baby every couple of minutes. Fortunately we can get our peace of mind while not overindulging our baby. We know the best solution - a baby monitor.
Folks soon realized the need for more compact prams for their babies especially when they were out and about. If you ever wondered, thats how the word ’stroller’ came about. The strollers became collapsible, more lightweight and came with plenty of bells and whistles. Getting some time to exercise can be a tough ask for uber-busy folks like us. This is where the newest innovation - ‘jogging strollers’ come into the picture.
