Bath Time!
Some children don't like bath time so it is the job of the parents to make it fun and yet safe at the same time. Here is a list of things that parents need to enjoy tubby time with their children.
Infant Tub- My son absolutely loved taking a bath in the Fisher-Price Rainforest Bath Tub . This three-stage tub provides a comfortable bath-time experience for your baby from birth through toddler hood. For newborns, hang the sling from both ends to cradle your infant safely and securely. When your baby begins to sit up, use the sling along the slope of the narrow end of the tub for reclined support. For toddlers, remove the sling completely, or use as gentle back support at the wide end of the tub.
Bath Time Gift Set- You will need lotion, shampoo, powder, body wash, safety swabs and of course a rubber duckie! Johnson's Bathtime Gift Set gives a new mom everything she needs all at once and makes a great shower gift!

This easy-to-pour rinse cup helps keep shampoo and water out of your child's eyes during bath time. A soft, flexible edge along the front forms a watertight bond against the forehead.

Swaddle Blanket- Kiddopotamus SwaddleMe Microfleece Infant Wrap Yellow The Swaddle Me Infant Wrap is a cozy microfleece wearable blanket that eliminates the hazards of loose bedding, while keeping your baby warm all night. In addition, it has been found that infants sleep better and longer when swaddled, or wrapped securely. The Swaddle Me Infant Wrap is easy to slip on and wrap around a sleeping or wide-awake baby. The bottom pouch pops down for easy diaper changes while your baby's arms are still wrapped, and the back has slits for car seat/swing harnesses so that a harness can be attached securely.

Bottles- There are many brands of bottles to choose from but the ones that work best among my friends and I are Dr. Brown Standard Polypropylene Bottle (3-Pack) and Philips / Avent Natural Feeding Bottle (3-Pack) . Dr. Browns bottles were designed by a doctor in response to his son's colic, this revolutionary bottle helps reduce colic, spit-up, and gas. Made of safe, polypropylene plastic that's BPA-free, a special internal vent prevents air bubbles from forming in liquids and keeps nipples from collapsing. The vent also helps prevent fluid from gathering in your baby's ears while feeding, reducing the chance of painful ear infections. Each bottle comes with a silicone nipple, nipple collar, nipple cover, travel disc, and two-piece snap-together vent. The Avent bottle has a patented anti-vacuum valve that prevents your baby from swallowing air, which can cause painful gas. The broad soft silicone nipple mimics the shape and feel of the breast. Dome caps seal the nipple for spill-proof mixing and transporting. Avent's wide-neck design is easy to hold and makes filling and cleaning a breeze. Features an accurate, easy-to-read scale to let you know how much you've fed your baby.
Bottle Brush - Philips / Avent Bottle Brush Scrub bottles, nipples, and feeding accessories with this plastic dishwasher-safe bottle brush. A curved design and round bristles make cleaning hard-to-reach areas a snap.
Bottle Sterlizer- Sterlizing bottles can be a major pain boiling water or taking up extra space in your dishwasher. I suggest you get a sterilizer like this Dr. Brown Microwave Steam Sterilizer . Sterilizing your Dr. Brown's Natural Flow baby bottles couldn't be easier. This microwave steam sterilizer features a custom tray that accommodates four standard or four wide-neck bottles plus all of their components. Fill the sterilizer with 6-oz. of water, position the bottles and components, cover with the lid, and then place in the microwave. The steam heat effectively kills all common household bacteria within 5-8 minutes (depending on your microwave's wattage)
Bottle Warmer - You can warm your baby's breast milk, formula, or baby food with no danger of overheating in this handy appliance. The unit holds all types of bottles, including disposables and baby food jars. Just plug the Philips / Avent Express Food and Bottle Warmer , add water and your bottle or jar, adjust the heat setting, and relax. A light flashes when the water reaches the desired temperature, telling you it's time to check your food. A chart on the back of the unit explains how long it takes to heat different-sized containers at different settings. The set includes a feeding dish and lid so you can warm up any kind of baby food, including leftovers from last night's dinner.
Breast Pump- Medela Pump In Style Advanced - Metro Bag This is the breast pump I used and I totally reccomend it. Updated for 2008 at an unbeatable price, the Pump In Style Advanced Breast Pump has all the same great features as the original plus some new, thoughtful additions. Every component you need stows neatly inside the roomy messenger bag that's handsome enough to use after you stop pumping. Second, the pump motor is removable and comes with a sleek, compact carrying case so you can pump out of any bag you choose. Plus, you get a matching removable cooler and ice pack that chills milk for up to 12 hours. Also new: This model allows you to toggle between two pumping modes for a gentler transition, using a revolutionary technology that mimics your baby's nursing pattern: Let-down Mode simulates your baby's initial rapid suckling for faster milk flow; Expression Mode mimics your baby's slower, deeper suckling for maximum milk flow in less time. It also comes with an AC adapter and battery pack, so you have two ways to use your pump: using battery power or plugged into an electrical outlet.
Breast milk storage containers for freezing breast milk- Is your dish rack overflowing with baby bottles, breast pump bottles, sippy cups, and more? Streamline your system with this new set ... Medela Breastmilk Feeding & Storage Set . Pump breast milk into a bottle (now conveniently marked in easy-to-read ounces and milliliters), store it, or screw on a nipple -- any standard neck nipple will fit the neck's universal thread -- and feed directly to your baby. The nipple caps also double as feeding cups. It doesn't get handier than that.

The nipples are designed for use with Dr. Brown's wide-neck baby bottles, which feature a special vent that helps prevent colic and excess gas and keeps fluid from gathering in your baby's ears.

Bottles- There are many brands of bottles to choose from but the ones that work best among my friends and I are Dr. Brown Standard Polypropylene Bottle (3-Pack) and Philips / Avent Natural Feeding Bottle (3-Pack) . Dr. Browns bottles were designed by a doctor in response to his son's colic, this revolutionary bottle helps reduce colic, spit-up, and gas. Made of safe, polypropylene plastic that's BPA-free, a special internal vent prevents air bubbles from forming in liquids and keeps nipples from collapsing. The vent also helps prevent fluid from gathering in your baby's ears while feeding, reducing the chance of painful ear infections. Each bottle comes with a silicone nipple, nipple collar, nipple cover, travel disc, and two-piece snap-together vent. The Avent bottle has a patented anti-vacuum valve that prevents your baby from swallowing air, which can cause painful gas. The broad soft silicone nipple mimics the shape and feel of the breast. Dome caps seal the nipple for spill-proof mixing and transporting. Avent's wide-neck design is easy to hold and makes filling and cleaning a breeze. Features an accurate, easy-to-read scale to let you know how much you've fed your baby.

This microwave steam sterilizer features a custom tray that accommodates four standard or four wide-neck bottles plus all of their components.

A chart on the back of the unit explains how long it takes to heat different-sized containers at different settings. The set includes a feeding dish and lid so you can warm up any kind of baby food, including leftovers from last night's dinner.

Plus, you get a matching removable cooler and ice pack that chills milk for up to 12 hours. Also new: This model allows you to toggle between two pumping modes for a gentler transition, using a revolutionary technology that mimics your baby's nursing pattern: Let-down Mode simulates your baby's initial rapid suckling for faster milk flow; Expression Mode mimics your baby's slower, deeper suckling for maximum milk flow in less time. It also comes with an AC adapter and battery pack, so you have two ways to use your pump: using battery power or plugged into an electrical outlet.

Infant Car Seat- Your child must be in an infant car seat in the car facing backwards until 20 pounds AND One year old.

Another great thing is a mirror so you can see your baby in your mirror and they enjoy making faces as well.

Pack N Play/Playards- These are great for traveling, using as the crib in your master bedroom when the baby is first born or you can put them in your kitchen so your child can safely play or rest while you make dinner.
Swings- Babies like motion so baby swings help the child relax and feel as if it is still swaying and moving in the womb. I highly recommend one...my son took lots of naps in his swing which made it easy for me to catch a few winks as well. Fisher-Price Rainforest Swing
Bouncy Seats- These are great because most come with a vibration mode that will help soothe your baby if it is upset. I also placed my son in his bouncy seat with his bottle while I showered so I could have a few moments of privacy and I knew he was safely strapped in.

Exersaucers- These are great for helping your child learn to stand and strengthen their back. They come plain or with tons of gadgets and noise makers to keep your child entertained.

High Chairs- There are also many different types, colors and styles of high chairs. Travel High Chairs, Stackable High Chairs, Space Saver High Chairs, Modern High Chairs and regular High Chairs
