As I write this, my second child is 8 weeks old. While my first child was about 17 months old, I purchased the Sleepy Wrap baby carrier, after reading that this wrap would enable me to wear my daughter on my back. Maybe it was that my daughter was too old, or maybe [...]

Based on the really high volume and high ratings on Amazon, I purchased Fisher-Price Papasan Cradle Swing, and it was a sure way to calm and entertain our daughter. I just used it only for emergencies since I did not want her to get to used to the rocking. It was great though. This has [...]
