Tips for expecting parents!

These were some of my favorite tips I got from other parents when expecting my daughter.  There were a TON more that were also fantastic but these are my favorites! Please share some of your favorite tips as well!!!

Layer the baby's mattress fitted waterproof pad, fitted sheet, fitted waterproof pad, fitted sheet. This way, if there is a mess to clean in the middle of the night, you can just take off the top layer and have clean sheets ready for baby instantly and can even put off the serious clean up part for morning.

When purchasing a car seat, if you have a smaller cab vehicle (compact car, most trucks, etc), go to the baby store near you and have them place several styles of car seats in your car to see which actually fit safely.

Don't get caught up in brands. What works for one baby or one family, may not work for you. Before investing in bottles (or other objects), get 1 or 2 from several different brands. Once you find what works best for you, then make the investment necessary to meet your needs.
