ragmama I made my husband a card for his first Father's Day - I took a picture of his huge black work boots with a pair of our daughter's tiny white Mary Janes sitting beside them, and wrote something like "a father has big shoes to fill" on the front. Something like...

Do you make your childs babyfood?

ryleesmama @ryleesmama (560) • United States 7 May 07

If you make their baby food did you buy a book or do you just cook whatever you think they would like?

6in12years I don't start solids until 6 months, so we pretty much go straight to table food and finger foods. I just make sure whatever we're having isn't too spicy, a major allergen (I have food allergies) or a choking hazard.

Gemmygirl1 I was given a recipe book for my daughter, it had 365 meals in it for her but i think we only tried 1 or 2 of them. My daughter will eat whatever we're having, she especially likes carrots & brocoli, the only time she gets something slightly different is if...

foxyfire33 My youngest is almost 6 months so I've just begun to make his. I did start a discussion on here about it and got some helpful tips but mostly I'm just using common sense. I buy fresh fruits and vegetables. I mash up 9or cook)the fruits and add breast milk to...

mememama I mostly used the jar stuff when it was stage 1 and 2 things, most of it I could find organic. We lived in an area that had no fresh fruit or veggies, with a limited selection of frozen stuff, and I didn't have the time to make it myself, my husband was...

biwasaki I think a photo collage is a great idea. You should also check out http://www.shutterfly.com for more photo ideas. They can put pictures on mugs, mouse pads, tote bags, and you can even create photo books there.

wahmoftwo Sounds like a great idea to me! Special homeade dinners and cakes go over great around here too when we are low on cash. Good luck!

PsychoDude I think he'd really like a gift like that, perhaps you could let the baby also pick out some stuff so it'd have her little touch to it as well, in a probably very playful way but still. Just for that little bit extra.

Cloth diapers?

ryleesmama @ryleesmama (560) • United States 30 Apr 07

I was just wondering what your favorite cloth diaper is. We are still trying to find ours. I have decided that side snaps are the only way to go. I have recently tried a fitted Swaddlebees and love how trim they are, I can't wait...

SlapItHigh My three favorites are Sweetibums, Bijou Baby Gear, and Dream-eze fitteds. I do all natural and mostly organic materials. I do have a few pockets for when we are going to be on the road for a long time and can't change as often as I'd like. For that, my...

Drinking soda

Do you think that diet soda is actually better for you than regular soda?

astromama The artificial sweeteners, as the above poster mentioned, are far worse than sugar. I do think, though, that neither diet nor regular is good for the body at all. If I drink a soda, which is rare, I'll have a Blue Sky, which contains no caffeine and is made...
