dazed...but not confused!
Keeping tabs on baby can daunt even the most
organized new parent. Here's help.
You go into the hospital with a well-crafted birthing plan and a small suitcase,
and you leave with your weight in flowers - and a seven-pound bundle of needs. Our
advice: Have the Baby Daze organizer tucked into your bag. Every time baby eats,
sleeps or destroys another diaper, you jot down all the details in the handy
charts provided. Special sections help you track gifts, keep tabs on your own
pumping and exercise schedules and monitor all of baby's milestones. Tucked in
the back are nifty "sitter slips" where you can record every nugget of
information a babysitter could possibly need. Busy parents everywhere will be
ever so grateful someone was clever enough to think of this.

this stroller stands out
Voilà! A mom-friendly stroller that folds with
one hand.
Other than a week of uninterrupted sleep, the thing topping most parents' wish
list is an extra set of hands (detachable, of course, otherwise that would look
funny). The Avila Convenience Stroller's "one hand fold and stand" feature at
least partially eliminates the need for spare appendages. Because the Avila
remains standing when folded, it's a snap for mom to maneuver in and out of the
car - making it a must for travel. When you're out and about, baby can sit up or
recline for a comfy snooze, and a deep cup holder keeps sippy-cups stable even on
bumpy terrain. (Parents get three cup holders - the joy!) A massive, easy-access
basket holds all baby's gear and yours, too. For babies 6 months and up.
$39.99,
