Most baby books will tell you about the must-haves for a new baby, but first-time parents may greatly benefit from gear that may not be essential, but will certainly make life easier. The following article offers a few suggestions worthy of consideration.<\/p>\n
You have to have a car seat, and today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s seats usually come with a carrier you see new parents toting around. Did I say toting? I meant struggling; those things are heavy without the baby<\/a>. A great way to cart your baby around outside the car is with a snuggle nest\u00e2\u20ac\u201da carrier harnessed to you. Made to sport newborns as well as older infants, this makes shopping or visiting relatives. Baby is where he wants to be\u00e2\u20ac\u201dright up against you, but your arms are free to do what you need to do.<\/p>\n There are all sorts of toys on the market; of course, toys are optional, but you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re really going to need<\/a> them sooner than you think. Toys that make sounds of waves or running water often have the sound of a heartbeat as an undercurrent. The heartbeat mimics the mother\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s heartbeat\u00e2\u20ac\u201da pleasant sound to baby. These are great bedtime helpers new parents should consider.<\/p>\n
