So, You are Invited to a Baby Shower: To Stray or Not to Stray from the Registry?

What is the Proper Etiquette?

So, you have been invited to a baby shower, but do you always have to buy gifts off of the registry? Of course not. For example, if you see cute clothes or sheets that you think the mother-to-be would love, or you simply like them so much that you have to buy them, then of course you can buy them. Some people; however, do not know what the proper etiquette is when it comes to certain items. As a mother, I do think it is quite rude to stray from the registry when it comes to larger items. If someone puts a particular travel system or a particular swing, etc., then that is the one you should purchase. The new mom and dad-to-be most likely put hours into picking out exactly what they wanted for their new baby; therefore, you should respect their decisions.

Check out these that made the Ridiculous Top Five

There are great toys to give an expecting mother or someone who just recently became a parent, however, there are also gifts that you just don’t really want to give, not because they aren’t practical, but because they are just ridiculous. No one wants a gift that they’ll open and exclaim, “Ah, you really shouldn’t have…”

Thudguard Infant Safety Hat

There’s always been that joke about putting your toddler in a helmet, but that’s exactly it, it should have stayed a joke. No one ever wants to put their child in harm’s way, of course, but the little bumps and bruises seem to just be a part of the trial and error of learning how to walk. It’s best to keep the helmet at bay until your child learns to ride a bike, trust me.

What a Cutie Pie New Baby Gift Basket for Boys or Girls

The What a Cutie Pie gift set is an easy choice for a baby shower gift, but I think gifts like these are best for those you don’t really know well. They tend to be a little bit impersonal and, while the contents are very cute and neatly arranged, they are not exactly the most practical gifts.

Has a lot of Baggage - Learn how to Pick the Right One

Babies usually spend the majority of their time in the crib, so while it’s important to consider comfort, it’s absolutely necessary to keep safety as a top priority. Most babies stay in a crib until they are around the age of two of three, when it’s time to move to a real bed, so also keep in mind that the crib should be sturdy to hold varying weight as the baby ages.

Keep your Baby Warm in Winter

When it becomes winter, there’s usually no way around it, you will need a lot of extra time in the morning to prepare your baby for the weather. There is a lot to assemble never mind that by the third or so layer, your baby might just be screaming for you to stop. Here are some tips to help with the long winter mornings.

When dressing your child, use easy on and off outer layers such as a snowsuit. This will provide a great buffer between your child and the cold and snow. If you have your child dressed for the day, instead of piling on the layers, just slip them into the snowsuit and they’re ready to go. It’s important though when picking out a snowsuit for your little one that it has a layer of insulation and a water-repellent exterior fabric such as fleece, flannel or fiberfill.
