The first eight weeks of a baby’s life requires a few key pieces of newborn clothes. New babies are messy, so multiples of each item are recommended. But don’t fret, the list is short; your newborn’s clothes needs are very minimal.

10 Baby Bodysuits and Baby onesies
This list was designed with you in mind. I suggest purchasing multiples of each item to reduce the amount of time you will spend doing baby laundry in those first precious (and sleep-deprived!) weeks.

Baby bodysuits and onesies are the foundation for every baby outfit. They provide an easy way to give your baby an extra layer of warmth, and with snaps between the legs, they stay put and keep your baby’s other clothing from rubbing up against their new and delicate skin.

There are a variety of baby bodysuits on the market (www.babyallday.com). Some are basic, solid colors. Others have witty sayings written across them.

7 Sets of Baby Sleepwear
Baby sleepwear comes in a variety of styles, from one-pieces that snap or zip from the leg to the chin, two-piece outfits that include pants and a top to gowns and bag sleepers or wearable blankets.

What’s important is fit as it’s directly related to the risk of accidental suffocation.

7 One-Piece Outfits
One-piece outfits, also known as rompers and/or coveralls, will simplify those first weeks of dressing your newborn baby. No worrying about finding pants that match a shirt – you just slip on one outfit and call it good.

You will have no problem finding one-piece outfits for babies as they are all over the market. Organic, conventional, with embroidery, solid colors; you name it, it’s out there somewhere.

To make life a little easier for you, and more comfortable for your baby, look for these key things when shopping for one-piece baby outfits.

1 Sweater or Jacket
Depending on what season your baby is born, a sweater or jacket may be necessary for proper cool-weather dressing. Anything that buttons or zips up will do the trick. Again, you really just want to avoid pulling a sweater or jacket over your baby’s head, and you want to be sure that the weight of the jacket is appropriate for the season.

Socks or Crib Shoes
Baby socks will serve to keep little toes warm – crib shoes will do the same. Opt for elastic at the ankle, or a knit with a little stretch to it. Handmade crib shoes with buttons and embellishments are very cute, but if they un-attach themselves, they pose a choking hazard. Shoes are not necessary for newborn babies.

Buying baby clothes is a lot like playing the lottery; you hedge your bets on a number, and hope it’s the right one.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. While it’s true that babies grow really fast, it is possible to buy clothes for them that will fit – at least for now. Use our size and age chart to help determine what size you should buy.

Remember: when in doubt, make your purchase based on weight and height rather than age! It’s always safe to go one size bigger.

You will quickly recognize your baby’s first language – a cry – this comes long before smiles and words. These early cries are reactions to circumstances – cries of pain, of hunger, thirst, fear of a sudden noise and all the rest. This is your baby’s basic way of communicating with you for the first few weeks.

After this the baby will be able to focus his eyesight better and will begin to recognize family members, first of all his parents and then the wider family, and so will emerge that first smile – often in response to a smile from a carer.

At about the same time babbling begins.

This isn’t in response to adult language, but is the baby’s own way of sorting out all the possible sounds he is capable of. So parents will hear ‘Co,co,co,’, ‘Kah, Kah Kah’ and all the rest. Most carers will respond in a positive way – this is interpreted by them as the beginnings of communication and speech.

It is possible that ‘Dada’ and ‘Mama’ are uttered just by chance, but when the baby gets a positive response each time, he learns to use these sounds. This can really be said to be the beginnings of true speech as opposed to just communication.

You will be aware that your baby is maturing. His size is increasing, but also he is learning to control movement – to reach out and to put things in his mouth. He learns to control his mouth in order to cope with various foods and to swallow them instead of them dribbling out.

This control means that he can articulate sounds better too as he learns to control his airflow. When other words come, they will be indistinct at first – only recognizable perhaps to the most doting parent or grandparent. But as carers repeat correctly the sounds a child is trying to articulate gradually sounds become clearer.

At about a year old most children will be able to say at least one word clearly. Next comes the joining together of words - in twos at first – ‘Good dog’.

You will notice lots of new words – perhaps as many as twenty words a month.

But your child will obviously be able to understand more than he says. If you say ‘Pick up the teddy’ he will do this long before he can say ‘Pick up’. So he understands verbs, but may not use them yet.

The next stage is the questioning stage – ‘What’s that? , Why’ How? This is a very easy stage to recognize as a child’s curiosity is such a strong force as he seeks to make sense of the world around him.

This can get quite wearing if you are the person who has to answer all the questions J But I would say be grateful that your child is curious and is capable of asking those interminable questions, though when there are twenty questions in as many minutes it is hard to keep answering.

He is also able by this time to follow directions – ‘Fetch me your shoes’ or ‘Put on your hat’. Gradually your child will be able to follow more complicated directions – do this first and then that. ‘Put on your socks and then go and get your boots.’

He can give opinions – ‘I like that’ or ‘I want the blue one’. Long conversations become possible with adults that he knows, and whether or not you agree, he will do his own thing.

Your child will still have lots of new things and words to learn, but he should have, by 4 or 5 years old, all the tools he needs to communicate in life.

Ever wish you could take back something you said in moment of frustration or even anger at your child’s sports game? It’s hard to imagine wishing that harder than Andrew Kniceley.

Here’s why the incident is so startling: Kniceley wasn’t just any frustrated parent — at the time, he was chairman of Fairmont State’s Board of Governors. He resigned Nov. 20 in a swirl of embarrassing publicity.

“Then he finally started to walk away. [Kniceley] looked back at me and stated that, ‘You are a joke and I hope that he tells you to go get f–ed after this is over,’” Lanham told police. “I then was approached by his ex-wife and she had said that she was sorry that this happened.”

During the holidays plenty of dangerous issues can pop up. Pay attention to the following key points to make sure that you have a festive and happy holiday with your baby and zero accidents.

• When traveling for the holidays make sure you baby proof the homes you stay in.
• Pay attention to gift choices. Studies show that many holiday toys for older children can seriously harm your baby’s eyes by accident.
• Accidental poisoning is common during the holidays. Stay one step ahead of the many child poisoning dangers during the holiday season and also pay attention to holiday poinsettia dangers and other holiday plants which can be dangerous for a baby.
• Fire is another key danger during the holidays. People light candles, crank up the fireplace, and burn holiday lights – all of which can be major dangers for a baby. Plan for a safer holiday season by limiting fire dangers in your home.
• Your baby will be getting lots of cool gifts this season, especially if it’s his first holiday. That said, not all the gifts your baby will get are safe.

This is a re-post of a great blog we found on www.babycenter.com. It was written by Betsy Shaw. We thought it provided some great insight and deserved a re-post.

I’m not sure if I’m more surprised, or appalled by this story.

As it turns out, okay, I’m not really surprised, daycare centers, both home-based and center based, have admitted to plugging their charges, that would be your and my children, into the television as part of a regular day. And not just a small part.

Some places admitted to having the TV on for more than two hours per day. Add this to the time kids spend watching TV at home, and that’s one big chunk of screen time.

“Most parents don’t know what happens at their children’s preschool,” said author Dr. Dimitri Christakis, who directs the Center for Child Health in Seattle, Washington. “They really want to believe that they leave their children there, it’s preparing them for school, it’s a stimulating, enriching environment. And I don’t know that they’re aware that in fact, a lot of time is spent watching TV.”

My daughter, Esther, spent some time at a small, center-based daycare where I would often find her watching TV at the end of the day. The sight of her, and her fellow daycare kids, sitting on the floor staring, with glazed eyes, at the flickering screen while their daycare teachers vacuumed in the next room was unsettling.

In my opinion, when I’m paying someone to look after my children, one minute of TV time is too many.

It’s one thing for me to put my kids in front of a video while I did some work, or took shower, it’s another thing for a daycare provider to plop my kid in front of the boob tube while they do….. what exactly?

As mothers, our job is multifaceted and undefined. We’re constantly trying to get other things done. As daycare providers, the job is pretty straightforward: Watch, and interact, with the children.

What do you think? Do you think it’s acceptable for daycare centers to expose your kid to screen time? Does your daycare provider, if you have one, do this?

We found this posting on BabyBlogAddict.com and we just had to re-post it, we think it gives some great insight and ideas regarding throwing the proper baby shower.

Who is responsible for throwing the baby shower?
Baby showers are typically hosted by anyone (with the exception of the new parents-to-be) from the new grandma to close relatives and friends.

When shoul a baby shower be held?
If the parent’s religion and customs allow, the baby shower is usually held a month or so before the baby is born. The shower can be held any time after conception; although, it’s always better to hold the party towards the end of the pregnancy. Be sure to check with the parents-to-be and their immediate family to determine everyone’s availability. There is nothing worse than planning a party and sending out invitations only to find out that the most important people are unavailable.

Who should be invited to the baby shower?
Always check first with the new parents to make sure you invite everyone they want to attend. Generally guests include relatives and close friends.

Some new parents have a tendency to “over dress” their babies, without even realizing it. Then, as they’re driving down the highway, the baby starts crying in the backseat, and they just can’t seem to figure out why. Many times, the babies are just over-heated.

If you’re wearing a long-sleeve shirt and a light weight jacket, your baby should be fine in the same type of baby outerwear. If it makes you feel more comfortable, bring along a light weight blanket to throw over the car seat or stroller, just in case.

When it’s snowing or windy, just be sure to put hats and mittens on them, keeping their ears protected from the wind and snow.

Avoid cocooning them in multiple blankets – even when it’s really cold outside. You have to remember that your children are not usually outside for very long, so keep them comfortable while they’re in the car and try not to over bundle them.
