The Sippy Cup!
Nuby Sippy Cup
The Nuby Sippy Cup is one of my favorite items so far. I was tired of having my son try to grab my glass out of my hand, and I noticed he was very interested in drinking my water. I tried plastic cups, but he spilled too much water on himself — he’s 7 months old!
We were in the store and came across this sippy cup. I like it a lot because it has 2 handles, and a spill proof nipple. I often fill it with some cool ice water (great for teething babies) and he got the idea of grabbing the handles and drinking from it very quick.
I also like the Nuby because it was the least expensive sippy cup in the store.
If you need a Sippy cup, just get a Nuby.
Traveling with your baby.
Traveling with Baby
When you’re traveling with your little one there is no such thing as “too prepared” for that long car ride, or trip to the airport. Even if your baby typically sleeps in the car, that one time you are not prepared is very stressful. Here are a few lessons I have learned and wish I knew earlier:
Water - Bring at least 2 water bottles (not baby bottles) for your baby. This is the water you will use to mix the formula should you need to make a bottle. Believe me, you want this … because you don’t want to have your baby screaming while you “try” to find a gas station rest room to fill that bottle.
Wife – Bring at least 1. This is because you will be putting you and your child in danger if you try to make a bottle and feed the child while driving. Having your wife in the car will prevent you from having to make stops and hopefully keep a few more hairs in your head.
Everything Else – Bring the whole can of formula, 2 extra days of diapers, wipes, etc… You never know if you’re going to get stuck in traffic, or stuck at the in-laws – at least you’ll be prepared.
So remember you should pack (or supervise) WWE, because if you don’t, you’ll have the sudden urge to elbow drop someone off of the top ropes in a steel cage match. 
The Boppy Pillow
Boppy Pillow
The Boppy Pillow (above) is great for a couple of things. The first good thing it’s good for is to help mommy breast feed, the second is to help your baby stay in place. If you’re working from home and your baby is awake and wants to be with you … what are you going to do about it?
Use the Boppy! Place the Boppy in your lap so that the sides wrap around your body. Then place baby inside so that their head is resting on one side and their butt is in the middle.
This works great when your baby needs your attention and you need to work, or surf the internet to keep your sanity.
