So, you've got a nursing baby. Hey, me too! And sometimes it's nice to go out in public and look cute and also feed the baby, right? You are the Mother of Incarnate God, free from all stain of original sin by a singular grace and privilege granted by the Father. *I*...
Last week, I suggested some baby items I really like. If you bought them for your baby today (which I recommend), brand new (which I don't), it would set you back $627.61. (But free shipping if you've got Amazon prime, so . . . ) Anyway, on the off chance that that...

This post is number two in a series on essential baby gear, see here for the first. For parenting book recommendations, see here. My six to twelve month old babies are still using most of the gear from my newborn to six month old recommendations, but I've also...
