HBO&#8217;s award-winning <strong>Classical Baby DVD </strong>provides 90 minutes of Classical music by Tchaikovsky, Bach, Mozart and Brahms, accompanied by cute cartoons that you won&#8217;t mind actually watching more than once. The <strong>baby film </strong>was awarded a 2005 Peabody Award, a 2006 Emmy Award for &#8220;Outstanding Children&#8217;s Program,&#8221; and a second 2006 Emmy Award for &#8220;Outstanding Individual Achievement In Animation&#8221; (given to the show&#8217;s animator, Barbara Wierzchowska).</p>
<h1 style="text-align: left;">Features&#8230;</h1>
<p><strong>Classical Baby </strong>was divided into several episodes: The Music Show, The Art Show, The Dance Show and The Poetry Show. There is also two compilation features: <strong>Classical Baby </strong>1 and <strong>Classical Baby </strong>2. Enhanced viewing options include noteworthy pop-up notes about the songs that will entertain parents.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Watch a cute animated scene from the movie:</p>

<h2>What Moms Are Saying&#8230;</h2>
<p>Although there are a handful of negative reviews, <strong>Classical Baby </strong>received a 5/5 stars on Amazon, with over 200 absolutely glowing reviews.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;We like it even better than the Baby Einstein videos,&#8221; says one mom.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;The music is the real deal, not a &#8216;baby&#8217; version,&#8221; another mom, who especially likes the Duke Ellington and Count Basie songs.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">A third reviewer admits, &#8220;I was one of those parents who was dead-set against their baby watching television but when you become a parent any distraction that can give you some kind of break is VERY NECESSARY.&#8221;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;Our kids are 2 and 5 years old&#8230; and they request to watch it a few times a week,&#8221; says another mom.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">One mom stated, &#8220;The music and graphics of this video seem to have a calming effect most of the time.&#8221;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">A grandparent commented, &#8220;Our grandson &#8216;wiggled&#8217; his approval of his favorite songs on these CD&#8217;s long before he could talk.&#8221;</p>
<h3>Cons?</h3>
<p>The negative reviews complained that this <strong>babies DVD </strong>did not translate well to High-Definition. One reviewer called the show &#8220;a poor man&#8217;s <em>Fantasia,&#8221; </em>and another person said it had &#8220;cheesy animation depicting bad performances of gutted versions of the repertoire&#8217;s master works<em>&#8221; like Fantasia. </em>Another reviewer said that she prefers the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Trebellina-Ages-1-4-Music-Dvd/dp/B001B4I4ZW">&#8220;Trebellina&#8221;</a> <strong>baby DVD, </strong>which actually teaches babies to read written music. Mostly, the disgruntled reviewers had trouble with individual sellers on Amazon who did not deliver as promised. If you prefer, you can <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://store.hbo.com/classical-baby/index.php?v=hbo_shows_programming_hbo-family_classical-baby"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">buy the <strong>Classical Baby DVDs </strong>directly from HBO</span></em></span></a></span> for $10/piece.</p>

<h2>What Moms Say About SnugZee Baby Head Support:</h2>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>&#8220;We have been using this item for 3 months and the SnugZee baby head supports work GREAT at preventing her head from bobbing when she falls asleep.&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>&#8220;We moved our 8 month old to a &#8216;big girl&#8217; car seat and it doesn&#8217;t have as much recline or head support. With this product she can fall asleep without her head flopping around.&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>&#8220;I use it in my Bob stroller for my 6 month old and it provides more support than the straps alone, and it&#8217;s less hassle than shoving pillows on the sides of her to keep her head from going side to side while I run.&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>&#8220;It doesn&#8217;t bother her at all having them on when she is awake and when she falls asleep the pillows hold her head very nicely.&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>&#8220;My daughter was 5lbs 13oz when she was born. Her car seat was so big that her head would slump over to each side if she fell asleep&#8230;. I would reccommend this and will use it again if i have another small baby!&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>&#8220;This is a wonderful baby gift!&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">*Note: One grandmother said she does not recommend these <strong>baby head support </strong>pillows for infants with Torticollis.</p>

<p>I&#8217;m not keen on <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">disposable diapers</span></strong> because:</p>
<p>1) <strong>Cost of Diapers: </strong>The average family spends $2,000 on disposable diapers during the first two years of a baby&#8217;s life&#8230;</p>
<p>2) <strong>Environmental Impact:</strong> A whopping 7.6 billion pounds of disposable diapers are tossed into landfills each year &#8212; and these diapers can take up to 500 years to decompose&#8230; and</p>
<p>3) <strong>Safety: </strong>Disposable diapers contain trace amounts of chemicals and toxins (including the carcinogen Dioxin, the hormone-disruptor Tributyl-tin, and skin irritant sodium polyacrylate).</p>
<p>I never thought I would be so excited about diapers, but I was seriously impressed by <strong><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a href="http://www.bumgenius.com/"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">BumGenius cloth diapers</span></em></span></a></span>. </strong>They seemed like the answer to all my problems! They&#8217;re <strong>cloth diapers </strong>that are dry and snug, easy-to-use, and grow with your child.</p>
<p>Yet, selfishly, I also thought:<em><strong> &#8220;EW, I don&#8217;t want gross poopy diapers in my laundry machines!&#8221; </strong></em></p>
<h1>So, What&#8217;s A Mom To Do With Those <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Dirty Diapers</span>?</h1>
<p>Well, in my area there is the Little Rumpkins <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Diaper Service</span>, which charges $25 per week to pick up, launder and drop off my baby&#8217;s diapers. That&#8217;s what my mother used to do back in the eighties. But wait&#8230; do the math&#8230; and that&#8217;s $2,200 over two years for your <strong>cloth diaper cleaning service</strong>, which is even more expensive than <span style="text-decoration: underline;">disposable diapers</span>. Bummer!</p>
<h2>Here&#8217;s your solution: the Haier Portable Washer.</h2>
<p><a href="http://www.babiesandkids.org/2012/02/06/haier-portable-washer-the-answer-to-those-dirty-diapers/portable-diaper-washer/" rel="attachment wp-att-2695"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2695" title="portable diaper washer" src="http://www.babiesandkids.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/portable-diaper-washer.png" alt="haier" width="300" height="300" /></a></p>

<ul>
<li>The 1-cubic-foot stainless-steel tub holds loads up to 6 pounds</li>
<li>There are 3 water levels and 3 wash cycles, electronic controls, and LED indicators</li>
<li>The machine operates quietly with cycle-status lights and an end-of-cycle signal</li>
<li>There are smooth-rolling casters and a quick-connect sink adapter</li>
<li>It measures 17-1/4 x 17-3/5 x 30 inches</li>
<li>Annual utility costs of $21 (natural gas water heater) &#8211; $38 (electric water heater) per year</li>

<p>&#8220;The clothes come out very clean and well-spun-out, so they dry quickly. The controls are easy to understand.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The basket size is actually larger than it may seem, I was able to fit into the machine about 3/4 of a standard wash!!!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It is the spot-on size for people who are doing cloth diapers like us!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It has been great for my son&#8217;s cloth diapers.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I bought it because I got sick of schlepping my kid&#8217;s cloth diapers up and down three flights of stairs to the COIN-OP machines&#8230; but its small footprint does not speak to the capacity at all!&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;No more lugging poopy diapers to the laundrymat anymore <img src='http://www.babiesandkids.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> &#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We have been using this washer for a year and a half to wash diapers and baby clothes in our apartment and it is AWESOME! It&#8217;s the perfect size for all of the diapers and clothes we need to wash. Another nice feature is that the spin cycle is really effective (I would say more than a regular washer).&#8221;</p>
<h3>Are There Any Cons To This <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Diaper Washer</span>?</h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.babiesandkids.org/2012/02/06/haier-portable-washer-the-answer-to-those-dirty-diapers/haier-portable-washer/" rel="attachment wp-att-2696"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2696" title="haier portable washer" src="http://www.babiesandkids.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/haier-portable-washer.png" alt="diaper washing machine" width="220" height="292" /></a></p>
<p><strong>The Directions: </strong>One trouble people have reported is that the Haier <strong>Portable Washer</strong> caused flooding. However, this is typically due to user error. One mom explains: &#8221;I learned the hard way to turn off the faucet after the tub is done filling up; I left it on the whole wash cycle for the first few loads (all back to back mind you) and flooded the apt downstairs.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Fixture Fitting: </strong>Other people have commented that they had trouble with the universal faucet attachment not fitting their older plumbing fixtures, so you may need to be prepared for that possibility.</p>
<p><strong>Customer Service: </strong>Third-party sellers are not always known for having the best customer service, so be sure you buy directly from Amazon, Target, Home Depot, or another retailer that offers a no-hassle return policy, should you need it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I absolutely love my <strong>Ju Ju Be Diaper Bag</strong>! I think I’ve tried to use about a dozen different diaper bags since my daughter was born 2 years ago until a friend of mine suggested Ju Ju Be. I have the Be Prepared Bag in Pretty Tweet and its the best diaper bag I’ve ever used. What makes this bag so special is the thought that went into designing all the compartments and fabric. There is a place for everything, keys, diapers, wipes, etc. There is even an out side side pocket I use as my purse. I also love the ease of cleaning these bags. The fabric of these bags are easy to maintain clean because they don’t absorb any moisture. The Be Prepared Bag is one of the larger bags <a href="http://www.ju-ju-be.com/" target="_blank">Ju Ju Be</a> carries, which works great for mom’s like me with 2 kids, but they also have smaller bags to use on small trips around town or for mom’s that prefer a smaller diaper bag. These bags are eye catching. Every where I go I get at least one person asked me where I got my bag. A must have for any new mom or for any mom that is still looking for the right bag for them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Potty training is something that is extremely important in the life of every parent and child. Once your child is potty trained everything will become infinitely much more easy for you as you will never have to worry about another accident or rushing to find a bathroom, or even carrying around a diaper bag everywhere you go. Of course the actual process of potty training is not quite so fun, but we all know that they payoff is a big one that is definitely worth it. For parents on the go though, the potty training process can be made much more difficult especially if the kids are frequently coming along in tow as well. There are a handful of options out there to help make things all that much easier though. We are going to take a look at one of them today, this is the new <a href="http://www.primobaby.com">PRI</a> Folding Potty with Handles.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This potty features four large rubber pads which will grip to the toilet seat as well as extended overhangs in front of the toilet seat. There are four hinges that are designed in a way so that they will not pinch the skin when your child sits down on it. It comes with a folding toilet reducer for those times when you are traveling away from home but still don’t want to lose any of that potty training progress that you have made so for. The handle grips help to increase your child’s confidence as well.</p>
