NogginStik is the rattle that you wish you had as newborn

A rattle is a rattle. We received lots of them for each child when they were born. They were silver or multicolored plastic, made a rattling sound and did everything a rattle should do. But what if a rattle could do more than just make a shaking noise when a baby moves it? A NogginStik is just that, it’s bumpy on the stick part, has multicolored lights and a mirror on the bottom of it. Continue reading NogginStik is the rattle that you wish you had as newborn

Checklist with a Tired Parent: Why is my Crawler Crying?

More Mojo was upset. At 11 months old he was crying, yelling and becoming the red faced, high pitched noise machine that makes people who don’t already have children take an oath of celibacy.

NextStep IP Baby Monitor: Review and Giveaway

At one of our baby showers a couple of years ago we were given a baby monitor. It consisted of a base unit that may or may not transmit the sound coming from your baby’s room. I used the phrase, may or may not, because it never worked for us. After a while we unplugged it and left in the corner of a room where it still lays today. It’s like the Island of Lost Toys for baby products that don’t work. Continue reading NextStep IP Baby Monitor: Review and Giveaway
