In this crazy season of life, where flu’s, colds, germs and other sicknesses are everywhere, I have some personal experience to share with you all should your little one need a fever or pain reducer. My son is now 3 years old, and my daughter 2. We can’t believe how much we have learned in just a few short years about which medicine is the best to give our kids. Yes, Infant Tylenol
will be a staple for you and your baby for the first couple of years. From a simple immunization shot relief, to ear infections, colds and so much more this Infant Tylenol can be your child’s best friend.
Recently, one of our kids had the flu and a cold. There is nothing worse than giving your baby that red tylenol in hopes of some relief for all, only to have it thrown up all over you, your carpet and your couch. All things that you don’t care to be stained red! And let’s face it, sometimes babies are just messy when it comes to swallowing something. The makers of Infant Tylenol and Infant Motrin
have wised up to this and have now created DYE FREE Infant Tylenol and Infant Motrin. This new invention is a life saver! We highly recommend stocking up on these. Who needs to fill their baby full of dye anyway?!

The moment you become a parent is the moment you will forever want to make sure that your baby is safe. There is something that gets instilled into all of us instantly and you will find yourself doing things like checking on them in the middle of the night, just because. When we had our kids 11.5 months apart, we needed a reliable Baby Monitor
that could monitor both babies at the same time. You will use your baby monitors well into the toddler years. Trust me! So do your homework and search for one that you like. Check out the details for how far the range of distance the monitor can be from the base. For example, we chose one that had a bigger distance so that we could work outside if we wanted to. We found ourselves, mowing the lawn, working in the garden or even raking leaves while our kids were napping many times. There are several kinds of baby monitors. Amazon has provided great info on all the different types.
Audio monitors
Audio Monitors transmit sound only. They can have multiple channels to minimize interference, a low-battery indicator, and volume control. Some monitors have a portable receiver that can be clipped on and taken wherever you go.
Video monitors
Video Monitors allow you to actually see and hear your child on a screen. Some actually utilize infrared technology that allows you to see the nursery, even in total darkness.
Sound-and-light monitors
Sound and Light Monitors have a special LED display that lets you “see” baby’s decibel level. These work well when there are other sounds (vacuuming, dishwasher, etc.) that might prevent you from hearing baby. In addition to standard features, most have an out-of-range signal light, too.
Intercom monitors
Intercom Monitors transmit baby’s sounds as well as allow users to communicate with others in the house by the push of a button. If baby cries out while you’re in the shower, you can calm her with your voice over the walkie-talkie feature until you’ve dried off.
