For the New Mom - Diaper Bag Essentials

By Terrie Cogswell

When it becomes time that you can take your little bundle of joy out and around the town, or even to visit with friends and relatives; it's good to know some essential basics. Do you know the essentials of what should go in the diaper bag?

I have devised a small checklist of the most important items that should be carried with you and baby at all times. Some of these items may sound weird or unnecessary at the time, but believe me when I tell you, the oddest things can come in very handy when the need arises.

The first thing you need to do is make sure you have a good-sized diaper bag, not some small as a purse or even a large purse. Inside the diaper bag, you should have:

Diapers- (including a few extra than you think you will or may need).

Baby wipes- (make sure they are baby wipes and not just wet wipes. Baby wipes are larger, softer, and gentler on the baby).

Rash ointment- (rashes can pop up at any time out of the clear blue. It is always better to have the necessary remedy on hand, instead of waiting until a later time).

A medicine bag- (These can be purchased with some of the essentials already within them, or you can make your own. Just use a quart sized zipper bag and fill with these items: Baby Tylenol, Nail clippers, a thermometer, Nose syringe, medicine dropper, and travel size lotion and Vaseline).

Extra clothing- (It is always best to take along at least two more sets than you think you will need. Remember, it is always better to be over prepared than under prepared).

One or two extra bottles- If you are bottle-feeding make sure you have enough with you, with an extra one to spare. After all, you never know when you might just be out a little longer than planned).

Also pack within the diaper bag, cloths for burping. I found cloth diapers to be wonderful, because they can be used for more than one purpose. Cloth diapers are also great as a makeshift changing pad, placing them under the baby so as not to soil any surrounding areas. The cloth diapers make excellent burping cloths to put over your shoulder, because they absorb more liquid than a receiving blanket, and can also come in handy for strange spills or yucky happenings that can arise.

An added hint- (Keeping a couple of extra quart sized zipper bags in the bag can also come in quite handy in many ways. These bags can hold soiled diapers, if you have nowhere to dispose of one. They can also hold soiled clothing and burping cloths, so as not to return them directly to the clean items in the diaper bag).

Top 10 Baby Items to NOT Buy

By Tara N Smith

1. Walkers

Many people mistakenly believe that baby walkers can help babies learn to walk, but in fact, they can delay walking and cause improper muscle development. Additionally, they are not safe. They have been taken off the market in Canada and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends they not be used. There's really no reason to use a walker. If you need a safe place to place your baby while your doing something, get a stationary activity center or swing instead.

2. Bumbo Chairs

These popular baby "sitters" were recently recalled by the Consumer Product Safety Commission due to their unsafe nature. Because there is no belt or safety harness. Babies can easily flip out of the seat and fall. Additionally, some health practitioners believe it puts babies in an unnatural position. These chairs are not safe places to leave your baby unattended, and are not supposed to used above floor level, which kind of eliminates their usefulness.

3. Diaper Genie

These environmental hogs encase each dirty diaper in its own little plastic casing, in effort to eliminate odors. But you have to keep buying the refill plastic thingys which cost around $8 for 110 diapers, for the average newborn that could last about a week! Not to mention the addition of MORE plastic to the landfill. Instead, consider a diaper pail that allows you to put a dirty diaper in the pail without exposing all the other dirty diapers.

4. DVDs/Movies

While there are some videos that claim to make babies smarter, there is no evidence that this is true. In fact, it is not recommended that babies watch TV at all until the age of two, while that might seem like a long time, many babies are not even intereseted in watching TV and many can be confused and overstimulated by the fast pace. Even children's cartoons can be violent and contain adult content, and babies don't understand that it is not real.

5. Toys

Yes, I know this is shocking. But here's the honest truth: When you have a baby you will amass a large collection of toys, without ever having to buy a single one. And a lot of babies don't like toys that much. I found myself completely overwhelmed by the amount of toys we received, and I never really needed to buy any.

6. Sterilizer

Unless you have an immune-compromised baby, it is not necessary to steam sterilize the bottles. And in fact the high heat can break down the plastic, causing it to be absorbed into the breast milk or formula.

7. Wipes Warmer

Most wipes warmers require batteries, electricity and refill cartridges. Why not just warm the wipe with your hands?

8. Crib Bumpers

Crib bumpers are an unnecessary bedding accessory that can pose a risk of suffocation. A new study by the Consumer Product Safety Commission found that many infants lack the motor development necessary move their head away if they are up against a bumper. Additionally they reduce the air flow around the crib area, and can collect dust.

9. Flame-Retardant PJ's

The reason that many pajamas for children are flame-retardant, is because they are made of polyester, which will melt instantly when in contact with flames or high heat. Instead use 100% cotton pajamas that are not loose fitting. The chemicals used as flame retardants, PBDE's (polybrominated diphenyl ethers) have been linked to brain and thyroid problems, and levels of PBDEs in people's bodies are rapidly increasing.

10. Nursery water with Fluoride

While many people believe in the helpful effects of fluoride in preventing tooth decay, it can be very harmful for infants to ingest. Both the American Dental Association and the Centers for Disease Control have warned that infants should not be exposed to fluoride, nor is there any evidence that ingesting it can benefit their teeth. Ingestion of fluoride has been linked to bone cancer, thyroid disorders and an arthritic-like condition, skeletal fluorisis.

Changing Diapers

By Jimmy Sturo

Diapering a baby is a necessity but to look at it as a daily chore would probably rob one of the magic between guardian and child at changing time. It is indeed a special time for parent and child. The parent feels the intimate act of diapering is an exhibition of love and affection. To a child, diaper changing time brings love, reassurance and security.

With the right sequence of diapering, the baby enjoys and experiences the basics of health and safety. The parents also get in the right rhythm with the baby. Generally, it helps in the child's growth, as slowly and steadily a child learns to be independent.

Diapering should be a teaching tool which can be used successfully to help children learn to be hygienic. It can also be the first step to toilet training. Moreover, with the passing of time, children often learn to be more responsible doing the diaper-changing themselves without the intervention of their parents.

In a word, diaper changing helps children be conscious about their bodies. Parents should encourage their children to actively take part in diaper changing making it a fun-time to enjoy.

One should be cautious about diapers as they need to be spotlessly clean and dry. The diapering surface may be a little elevated, but you need to be careful not to leave the child alone on it. Talcum powders, as a rule, should be avoided. Unknown ingredients in them may cause undesirable irritation on the tender skin of a baby. Always wash hands and make sure you clean the baby's genital areas well when changing diapers.

Instructions on how to Make a Diaper Cake

By Sophia Ton

The diaper cake is now one of the most popular centerpieces at any baby shower party. As it is the cake at a baby shower party is a lot of fun to make, decorate, see and eat. However, the diaper cake, despite its name is not an edible cake. Among the edible cakes that are usually served at these types of parties are fruit cakes, ice cakes, and white cake and so on.

How to Make a Diaper Cake?

The diaper cake despite the common belief is not too difficult to make. Information about how to make a diaper cake is available from library books, special baby shower theme cooking books, internet, and so on. Usually, the cake is three tiered but you could decide on whatever size you like to have it, depending on the size of the party and your patience and expertise.

The basic idea is to make a cake-like form out of diapers. As you will find out from the various sources, and the how to make a diaper cake books/ sources, this cake is meant to be a little treasure for the little baby who is due. The lower tier and the largest one would be made of approximately of 30 � 50 diapers, the second one of 15-25, and the top most would be made 5-6 diapers.

The diapers should be put together with the help of baby safety pins and/or tape. Ensure that the bottom layer is secured well in the form of a cylinder. Once the layer is well formed, you could put a cardboard on top of it, or a baby blanket, or if you want to have something big in the centre, you can leave it hollow and attach the rest of the tiers with safety pins or tape. Do not use glue or staples because it will be difficult and messy to disentangle it later.

The second layer would have to be fashioned the same way as the third layer. For the top layer you will want to keep all special baby items, such as rattlers, ribbons, little booties, pacifiers, and even bottles. For the cake which has the centre empty, you could keep a big teddy there, or any other big thing that would be useful to the baby.

Many how to make a diaper cake sources, advice that you should use disposable diapers instead of ordinary cotton ones. In this case you could even use glue, and then throw away the diapers instead of struggling to disentangle them.

It is not difficult to learn how to make a diaper cake and the fun that it involves adds to the joy of the experience.

4 Reasons Some Parents Choose Cloth Diapers

By Jacob Sakol

The debate about whether to use cloth diapers over disposable diapers has raged for years. Those who swear by disposables claim their convenience trumps any drawbacks. Those who use cloth diapers have equally-strong opinions about their diaper choice.

My spouse and I, after having used both cloth diapers and disposables, decided to solely use the latter. But, we realized that cloth diapers offer many benefits that disposables lack. In our research, experience and through conversations with others, we learned some of the main reasons why some new parents choose to use cloth.

Reason #1: Cloth Diapers Cost Less

While estimates vary widely, many experts agree that from the moment of birth through the time when a child is becoming potty-trained, new parents can expect to spend over $2,000 on disposable diapers. With the added cost of baby formula, food and other necessities, $2,000 is a significant expense. On the other hand, an entire set of cloth diapers will likely cost under $100. Also the cloth type can be reused for any brothers and sisters who may be born later.

Reason #2: Cloth Diapers Are Better For Your Baby's Health

Some parents claim that cloth diapers help prevent your child from developing skin rashes because the cloth lacks the chemicals that are often found in name-brand disposables. Though information is limited, some studies suggest a link between the chemicals in disposables and sterility and cancer.

Reason #3: Cloth Diapers Are Environmentally-Conscious

Disposable diapers go from our babies' bottoms to our nation's landfills. It's estimated that American children use 18 billion disposables each year, adding 80 tons of plastic and 1.3 million tons of pulp wood to our landfills. Instead, cloth diapers go from our babies' bottoms to our washing machines before landing back under our babies' bottoms. In other words, they have little negative environmental impact.

Reason #4: Cloth Diapers Accelerate Potty-Training

Studies have shown that when children use cloth diapers, they often make the transition from diapers to potty-training more easily. There are a couple of reasons why this may be so. First, cloth diapers don't have the ability to soak up wetness and keep your child dry like disposables. So, when your child soils the cloth type, they are more likely to feel the sensation and want to learn how to avoid it.

Second, some research has shown that many children grow attached to their cloth diapers. They began to feel a level of responsibility for them, often trying to remove them when they feel the need to eliminate. This tendency continues to grow as the child ages and eventually encourages the transition to potty-training. Though some people doubt the validity of these reasons, additional research seem to support the findings of earlier studies.

Should You Use Cloth Diapers For Your Child?

Ultimately, your decision to use cloth will depend on how important some of the factors above are for you and your family. Some new parents are extremely concerned with their contributions to the environment. Others place a higher value on convenience. Still others focus on the difference in cost between cloth and the disposable alternative. I suggest trying both. That way, you'll know from experience which is the better choice for your child.

Chlorine Free Diapers

By Alan King

Chlorine is a harsh chemical. Used as a disinfectant to kill bacteria, the toxic product can be found in many paper products, including diapers for infants and toddlers. In addition, chlorine provides that ultra-white color for most paper products, as unbleached paper tends to be brownish. Many parents are looking for alternatives to harsh chemicals and want to provide gentler options to their baby for the best care possible. Chlorine-free diapers answer that demand.

Chlorine-free diapers are less harmful to the environment, as well as being kinder to sensitive newborn skin. Bleaching paper products to a �whiter than white� shade allows chlorine derivatives to leach into the ground and water. The dioxins produced have been linked to cancer, not only in wildlife but in humans as well. Chlorine-free diapers mean that you�re swaddling your newborn in a product that isn�t harmful to the child�s health either now or in the future.

Since most people today prefer bright whites over brownish shades of paper products, chlorine-free diapers use more friendly methods to produce the clean white parents look for. There are no horrible chlorine derivatives left in landfills to create toxic pollution and babies aren�t exposed to chlorine by having the chemical laid directly against their skin. Chlorine-free diapers provide us with a safer alternative to the �old� disposable diapers.

Chlorine-free diapers may also provide benefits for rash-free bottoms. The fewer harsh products and irritants against a baby�s skin, the less chance a newborn or toddler will suffer ill effects or diaper rash. Chlorine-free diapers are just as absorbent as other diapers on the market and while they may cost a little more, chlorine-free diapers are a safer, kinder alternative for a �green� life and your child�s health.

When making your choice of products you use to care for your child, choose chlorine-free materials that offer the best for your baby. In a world where increasingly children are being diagnosed with cancers and other serious illnesses, you are minimizing the risk of the effects of chemical exposures.

Choosing Diapers for Your Baby

By Sandra Rathbun

Do you know that your baby is likely to spend around 1000 days in diapers, and might require at least 5,000 diaper changes all this while?

Therefore, what you choose for your baby is going to affect her skin, comfort, and health. However, your selection is likely to be influenced by budgetary considerations. While cloth diapers are inexpensive and easy to use, disposable diapers cannot be reused and are costlier.

Disposable diapers were introduced in early 60's, and they changed the entire industry scenario thereafter. The disposable diapers used waterproof plastic layer outside the diaper, and a pad treated with absorbent chemicals along with an inner liner. The use of chemicals, such as Sodium polyacrylate ensures that diaper absorbs more fluid while its upper surface remains dry. However, the exposure to such chemicals also increases the risk of developing allergic reactions. If inhaled, the small amount of Sodium polyacrylate can also lead to death.

Besides the use of harmful chemicals, there is a growing concern on the use of disposable diapers. This is because nearly 5 million tons of natural body excrement is getting added everyday via disposables, which is likely to have scores of intestinal viruses. This is also contaminating the groundwater all across the globe.

The disposable diapers are not biodegradable as 30 percent of material used in making these diapers is plastic. As more and more people are getting environment conscious, the popularity and demand for cloth diapers for babies is also growing. Not only cloth diapers are simple to use and less complicated, but they are also environment-friendly.

Many people argue that disposable diapers augment the risk of diaper rash. In fact, there are many misconceptions related to diaper rash. Remember, the diaper rash can occur with the use of any type of diaper- cloth or disposable. Diaper rash would surely make your child miserable. Many people say that diaper rash is abnormal, and it indicates that the baby is allergic to certain types of foods or drinks. But, developing diaper rash is completely natural. But, the good news is that you can always control the occurrence of diaper rash. But, you first need to understand what causes diaper rash. As the baby's skin is very sensitive, the exposure to chemical and moisture caused by body's excrement such as urine can make it more sensitive. However, there are many ways to prevent or minimize diaper rash. You should change your baby's diapers more often, and try changing them once in every 2 hours in newborns and 3-4 hours in children above 1 year of age. If you are using disposable diapers, try using different brands. Changing different brands of diapers may allow you find the best one which suits your baby in terms of size and fitting. This would cause less wetting, and thus less diaper rash.

In case your baby develops diaper rash, you can use Petroleum ointment, which is a very good ointment for daily use. You can also use White zinc oxide, which is a thicker ointment, which is ideal for babies, who are more prone to develop diaper rash.

Sandra Rathbun is a parent of three beautiful babies and the owner of Baby, a blog she regularly writes on about her experiences with free baby samples.

Do not buy a diaper bag based on the gender of the baby. A lot of people think that if the baby is a girl, buy a pink diaper bag and if the baby is a boy then buy a blue one. Mom may not mind blue so much but dad may not feel very manly walking around with a pink flowery diaper bag when he takes the baby out. You should buy a diaper bag to fit the personality of the mom or dad. After all they should feel comfortable; they are the ones that will be carrying it.

Just remember the bigger the bag, the more you grab. The more you grab, the harder it is to carry. Lugging around a big diaper bag along with a carriage, a baby and shopping bags can just get annoying. You should buy a small diaper bag for when you go for walks or short outings.

Depending on the age of the baby you may also want to pack a cup with juice and a snack. However, for longer trips you do not want to carry multiple bags. Therefore, a bigger bag is better for when you go on longer trips because you will need to pack more stuff. You will need more diapers, more bottles, and more toys to entertain the baby.

How to Make a Diaper Baby Cake for a Baby Shower

By Kristi Patrice Carter

Are you planning a shower for a friend or family member and dreading it? Baby showers are not like they used to be, and there are many trends that have improved and updated the traditional baby shower. Some of those trends are even funny and clever, including the new diaper baby cake.

A diaper cake is not a baked treat. It is a way to present a shower gift. Every mother can tell you that they change more diapers than they care to remember during the first year of their baby�s life. The simple fact is that diapers quickly become a way of life for new parents. A diaper cake is an excellent, creative way to gift new parents with the baby care essentials that they need and will use every day, if not every three hours.

It is very easy to find the ingredients for your diaper cake. You will need approximately sixty diapers and small rubber bands, ribbon, a plastic cake platter, one four ounce baby bottle, and one eight ounce baby bottle. You will also need some cake decorations to create the illusion of a cake. You may also want to purchase pacifiers, rattles, teething rings, onsies, lotions, and stuffed animals to make your diaper cake more exciting.

Assembly is quite easy. The first thing you will need to do is prepare the first layer. You will need to roll five or six diapers tightly. You will need to unfold each diaper and then roll each diaper individually. Secure each rolled diaper with a small rubber band, the tighter the better. Take five or six rolled diapers and secure them around an 8 ounce baby bottle or a large bottle of lotion. Put this in the center of your platter, and secure eighteen to twenty individually rolled diapers to this layer, and secure it with a large rubber band. Use ribbon to hide the unsightly rubber bands, and the base layer is complete. It should be three layers deep.

The remaining tiers of the diaper cake are constructed in exactly the same way. However, each layer is small than the last. The second layer will use the four ounce bottle or a smaller hygiene product in order to secure the layer. The second layer will be two layers deep, and the third layer will only consist of one layer of diapers.

The next step is to decorate your cake. You can use pre-made decorative sugar decorations to give your cake the �bakery� appearance. Do not use icing or frosting to decorate the diaper cake. Remember, the purpose of these diapers is to be used by a baby, so you will need to decorate accordingly. You can find several decoration ideas just by browsing the baby aisle of your local grocery store.

Making a diaper cake is a fun and unique way to present a new mother with the baby care essentials she will need. Have fun!
