Kid Tips

@kidtips

I am a Mom who is always interested in tips/advice/ideas, so I am paying it forward.

If your #child is really sick, you can alternate #Tylenol and Motrin. #Motrin goes through the kidneys, Tylenol through the liver.


My friend recently had her 1st baby shower where she asked for all previously owned gifts. Genius! She received 10x the amount of stuff.


KEEP the suction bulb that the hospital provides. The stores do not sell one of this quality & you will use it over & over for cold season.


Child taking off pj's at night? If they have feet, cut them off, turn the pj's around, and zip/button them up the back. Problem solved!


Sore from nursing? Here is a cheap solution: try rubbing on some olive oil. It's cheap, on your shelf, and totally safe for your baby.


Sorry it's taken so long to get up some kid tips. Here we go! Next set, coming at you...


When they won't eat veggies, give them an option-real or baby jar veggies. Even at 5, will opt for the jar @ times. As long as it gets down!


#New #moms: Buy for the right age. If it says: 12 mos.+, buy it after 12 mos. It really is true, the child is often not ready for it prior.


When buying a pacifier for your baby, buy one that is shaped like you. They want YOU, so the shape is key.


When choosing #clothes for your #kids, go by the weight on the tag. Just because it says 3-6 mo, doesn't mean it will fit at that age.


Another trick so they brush long enough: I tell them to say their #ABC's while brushing their teeth during the foam phase.


A fun (& educational) way 2 get your child to wash their hands long enough to kill the germs: have them count to 20 during the soap phase.


If you are in #Kitsap County, a great kid consignment sale happening today at the #Poulsbo Library until 2pm.


I can't rave enough about this tutorial. This is the best...a great way to #hem jeans/pants/dresses: http://www.daciaray.com/?p=38


#Diaper leaking at night? Time to buy a larger size. The weight on the box doesn't matter...the proof is changing a crying baby at 4am!


#Nursing? Do yourself a favor for comfort...get measured & fitted with a nursing #bra. When your straps to fall...time to get re-measured.

It's true - after you have a baby (or 2), your body isn't the same. You may fit into the same size, but things will forever be "different."
