<br />
I find it a lot easier to shampoo baby's hair or wash a slippery baby when I can squirt foam soap out of a dispenser.<br />

I usually put an inch of liquid baby soap <i>(<b><a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D2JMJPS/?tag=frugalbabytips-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Johnson's Head-To-Toe Gentle Baby Wash and Shampoo, Tear-Free, Sulfate-Free and Hypoallergenic Bath Wash for Baby's Sensitive Skin and Hair, pH Balanced, Washes Away 99.9% Of Germs 27.1 fl. oz">Johnsons</a>, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004L5JCZ4/?tag=frugalbabytips-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Aveeno Baby Daily Moisture Gentle Bath Wash and Shampoo with Natural Oat Extract, 18 fl. oz, Package may vary">Aveeno</a></b>, etc.)</i> in the dispenser, fill the rest of the bottle with water, give it a good shake, and it's ready to use.<br />
<br />
I have also bought an empty <b><a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001RRG5VI/?tag=frugalbabytips-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Cuisipro foam pump dispenser | Turns liquid soap into foam | reduces soap usage up to 75 percent">Cuisipro foam pump dispenser</a></b> from a kitchen/bath store and they work well too.<br />
<br />
Many products now come in foam pump bottle styles and can be rinsed out, and used for this purpose as well.<br />
<br />
I've been saving lots of money by being able to stretch one bottle of liquid soap about five times the length of time as opposed to using the soap straight from the container.<br />

Would you like to prevent your toddler or pets from unrolling the entire roll of toilet paper, and stuffing it into the toilet, or trailing it through the house?<br />
<br />
Make your own toilet roll cover/protector by recycling a plastic 2-liter soda pop bottle.<br />
<br />
<table class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.borntolove.com/frugal-safety.html" target="_blank" title="Frugal Baby Tips - Child Safety"><img alt="Image: Make your own toilet roll protector by recycling a plastic 2 litre pop bottle" height="284" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX5huudBb8b7243HG6TQu1jjlU28F67Tok6F6jPd66noCe011fMYnWOMTBDD1L-xlcOEJLOAy7Iu7UVE_We4gInAwgS89yzLPmiv8rLLdPSHA81sxsfo7-3m9fSeussri9bqOT/s320/toilet+paper+roll+tutorial.jpg" title="Make your own toilet roll protector by recycling a plastic 2 litre pop bottle" width="200" /></a></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold;">HOW TO MAKE:</span><br />
<br />
Cut off the bottle top and bottom of the soda pop bottle, to form your toilet roll cover/protector.<br />
<br />
Measure your wall mount toilet paper roll holder to see what size you need - mine was 4 3/4 inches <i>(12 cm) </i>across.<br />
<br />
<i>TIP: you can use the leftover bottom to make fancy flower-shaped ice cubes for punch - and the leftover top for a funnel for sand play!</i><br />
<br />
<table class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Image: Cut off the bottle top and bottom of the soda pop bottle, to form your toilet roll cover/protector" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTlO4O5hmXbcWScYr3NnpdPrjeqhQ3FIo-eE1XEB0Ps6Ty-X5ab8sQjiv9gA1LYmqTd2k8o3b3bNeP9pPGh75IgoieSe_rlYfvqnfTD9ja95m8P6LXP11UcLyTup6_lGg6rRTo/s200/toilet+paper+roll+tutorial2.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Cut off the bottle top and bottom of the soda pop bottle, to form your toilet roll cover/protector." width="200" /></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Cut a slot in this toilet roll cover/protector, to allow you to pull the toilet paper through, about 1/4 inch <i>(0.64 cm)</i> high and 4 inches <i>(10 cm) </i>across.<br />
<br />
If you are using double roll toilet paper, simply cut across completely - from one side to the other.<br />
<br />
<table class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Image: Cut a slot in this toilet roll cover/protector, to allow you to pull the toilet paper through, about 1/4 inch" height="146" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNZcxDTaynmBKJd1cjE_QeV80b55DznMSPKTT0Dar1WEqH7u-DwCmwn8n6fUX7at_2t1pWvUR-pMMoKgh2G-0Pf2l_LcHQFxbuFHszjcsFdI9JFunm9lJY_-8H0OMW8l3kF5qM/s200/toilet+paper+roll+tutorial3.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Cut a slot in this toilet roll cover/protector, to allow you to pull the toilet paper through, about 1/4 inch" width="200" /></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
If you wish, cover all raw edges with plastic tape to match your decor - I only had black tape on hand, but you can use any color to match your decor.<br />
<br />
If using double roll toilet paper, use a piece of plastic tape to tape across the open sides, attaching both sides, leaving an opening of about 1/4 inch <i>(0.64 cm)</i> or larger, for the toilet paper to hang out.<br />
<br />
<table class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Image: Remove your toilet roll and spindle from the wall mount, slide both inside your new toilet roll protector, and reattach the roll to the wall mount" height="147" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKMlh3OlWEorrAYh1HvDFzSAx5_mZEZ94xdznYOrQmdkiuC5B201oqiEmJINUsZi4JI1qQhVxINonlmp8U69d3oxbCqNQl5TSTUr6D1E2g_e6mq144fTqBihtnrXgh8mnjpICY/s200/toilet+paper+roll+tutorial4.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Remove your toilet roll and spindle from the wall mount, slide both inside your new toilet roll protector, and reattach the roll to the wall mount" width="200" /></td></tr>
</tbody></table><br />
Remove your toilet roll and spindle from the wall mount, slide both inside your new toilet roll protector, and reattach the roll to the wall mount.<br />
<br />
This should at least slow your toddler or pets down!<br />

Your baby needs to nurse, but you are out in public and you are uncomfortable about showing off all that skin when you lift your top?<br />
<br />
Layer one crop top, blouse, shirt, etc. over an old T-shirt or tank top<i> (mix or match colors!)</i>.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>
Cut two nursing slits in the old tank top or T-shirt and hem around the raw edges <i>(hemming is not necessary, but it's up to you)</i>.<br />
<br />
The top layer shirt will provide discreet coverage, yet your baby will still have easy access to nurse.<br />
<br />
When you lift or shift your outer shirt to nurse, your tummy is fully covered. If you unbutton your blouse to nurse, your cleavage is not exposed.<br />
<br />
Your baby's head and your outer garment cover the exposed portion of your breast.<br />
<br />
Plus, there are no slits or panels to readjust after feeding!<br />

Every home should have a choke tester to check if toys and other objects are safe for baby play.<br />
<br />
But commercial choke testers can be very difficult to find, very expensive and too small to be effective.<br />
<br />
Did you know you have a frugal baby choke tester right in your own home? <i>(No, I don't mean the baby...)</i><br />
<br />
How about an empty toilet paper tube!?<br />
<br />
Commercial choke testers are made to gov't. regulation size of 3.5 cm <i>(1 3/8")</i> in diameter.<br />
<br />
Your ordinary toilet paper tube is 4.5 cm <i>(1 6/8")</i> in diameter. <br />

-- Paper airplane day celebrations typically include social gatherings at which participants create and fly paper airplanes. These events often feature contests in two basic flight categories: <i><q>distance</q></i> and <i><q>time in the air.</q></i> As of 2012, Takuo Toda holds the world record for the longest time in the air <i>(27.9 seconds)</i>. The distance record <i>(226 feet, 10 inches)</i> was set by Joe Ayoob, with a plane constructed by John Collins, in February 2012<br />

These aren't paper toys. And they're only technically paper airplanes. These are high-performance, blow-the-competition-away flying paper machines. The ten planes in this book are for people who think they've seen a good paper plane or two. They're for the hard to impress, the playground veterans - the kid at the next desk who thinks he and his plane will get sent to the principal's office first. These are the planes that can prove him wrong.<br />

That's because each of the six-starfighter designs has been rigorously tested by the Klutz Aerodynamics Team. And they look as great as they fly because they are made from full-color, custom-designed papers โ representing galactic vehicle exteriors, authentic to the last bolt. With five copies of each design, kids can have a fleet of Y-wings and X-wings at their command.<br />

-- Julia Ward Howe was the first to proclaim <b>Mother's Day</b> in 1870. Her <b>Mother's Day Proclamation</b> was a pacifist reaction to the American Civil War and the Franco-Prussian War. The modern holiday of <b>Mother's Day</b> was first celebrated in 1908 when Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother in America. She then began a campaign to make <b><i><q>Mother's Day</q></i></b> a recognized holiday in the United States. Although she was successful in 1914, she was already disappointed with its commercialization by the 1920s.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold;">First Mother's Day Celebrated</span><br />
-- On May 10, 1908, the first Mother's Day service was held at St. Andrew's Church in Grafton, West Virginia in response to the request of one daughter, Anna Jarvis. Anna's mother had provided strength and support as the family made their home in West Virginia and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where her father served as a minister. When Mrs. Jarvis died on May 5, 1905, Anna was determined to honor her.<br />

- Today marks the day we celebrate our adorable, precious babies. Parents, especially new parents, can celebrate this day by spending extra time with your baby. After all, they will be babies for an all too short time. If there are no babies in your life, maybe spend the day with someone else's baby and give mom a break. <b>Baby Day</b> reminds you babies are wonderful, but they can also be a lot of work.<br />

<br />
Using the cloth diaper, fold it into a long thick rectangular pad. Lay this inside one of the training pants, so the folded diaper pad lays down the center of the training pant.<br />

</tbody></table>Use two diaper pins to fasten the folded diaper pad in place. Place one pin through the short end of the diaper pad and training pant at the front waist.<br />
<br />
Place another pin through the opposite short end of the diaper pad and back waist. Pin from the outside of the training pant, so as not to cause discomfort to your child.<br />
<br />
Next, add the second training pant on the inside of the first, so you now have a training pant | folded diaper pad | training pant sandwich.<br />
<br />
Add nylon, vinyl or other waterproof pull-on pants over top of everything. Or check into some of the newer fleece pull-on pants!<br />

These work great for kids embarrassed by the <i><q>baby-like</q></i> nylon or vinyl pants. Your <q>bedwetter sandwich</q> now has four layers - training pant | folded diaper pad | training pant | waterproof cover.<br />
<br />
Use the two remaining diaper pins to pin through the three layers - two training pants and one waterproof outer cover - this time placing one diaper pin at each side waist.<br />
<br />
Push the pins through the same area as the stitching on the waterproof cover to prevent damage.<br />
<br />
These pins help to hold everything all together, and will allow your child the independence to quickly pull up and down their <b>Bedwetter Pants</b> when they need to go to the toilet.<br />
<br />
If your child needs even more absorbency, you can add another layer of folded diaper, but this could be very bulky.<br />
<br />
These <b>Bedwetter Pants</b> can also be used during the day, for older children not quite ready, or not completely potty-trained.<br />

<br /><span style="font-size: medium;">
Here's a fast and simple way to make all your flat, prefold and shaped diapers into easy Velcroยฎ-closing diapers!</span><br />
<br />
Just cut one piece each of both hook and loop Velcroยฎ.<br />
<br />
<b>Sizing: </b>Small - cut 12"<i> (31cm)</i> long; Medium - cut 18" <i>(46cm) </i>long; Large - cut 24"<i> (61cm) </i>long; XLarge - cut 30" <i>(76cm)</i> long.<br />
<br />
Trim off all the corners, into curves.<br />
<br />
Place the Velcroยฎ pieces back to back<i> (with the hook and loop sides facing out, away from each other.)</i> <br />
<table class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibUXhEgy_MO8TIWiXSCTwMxTUuCjSJSGiiFZLtytw0jl2z-WvV4776WEnn8TBs7ltb8l7HU1dMd59MmwmWyodXOC7AcKKraeuv4CUy7cDsCNmcMkwXNil5xSnO0E_6td89yEw4/s1600/velcro+strap+001.JPG" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" target="_blank" title="DIY Velcro(r) Diaper Fastener, by Catherine McDiarmid-Watt"><img alt="Image: DIY Velcro(r) Diaper Fastener, by Catherine McDiarmid-Watt" height="174" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibUXhEgy_MO8TIWiXSCTwMxTUuCjSJSGiiFZLtytw0jl2z-WvV4776WEnn8TBs7ltb8l7HU1dMd59MmwmWyodXOC7AcKKraeuv4CUy7cDsCNmcMkwXNil5xSnO0E_6td89yEw4/s200/velcro+strap+001.JPG" title="DIY Velcro(r) Diaper Fastener, by Catherine McDiarmid-Watt" width="200" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><i>Photo credit: Catherine McDiarmid-Watt</i></span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
Sew together, around all four edges.<br />
<br />
That's it! One fastener is all you need! If you wish, you could make one or two more, in case one gets soiled or lost.<br />
<br />
Is that too much work??<br />
<br />
Then you could just buy the <b><a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004AFCVDA/?tag=frugalbabytips-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="MPI Fastening Tape | One Wrap Velcro Hook + Loop Fastening Tape | Double sided, one side hook, the other side loop. Just wrap around and it fastens on to itself">One Wrap Velcro straps</a></b> - no sewing involved!<br />
<br />
<b>Care: </b>Wash by hand in the sink and hang to dry for longer wear.<br />
<br />
<b>To Use: </b>Simply place the diaper on your baby as you normally would.<br />
<br />
But, instead of using pins or clips, simply wrap this Velcroยฎ diaper fastener around the diaper at your baby's waist, with the hook side facing the diaper, overlapping the Velcroยฎ at baby's front <i>(or back, if your baby can undo the strap!) </i>to fasten.<br />
<br />
The Velcroยฎ hook part helps to hold the diaper in place.<br />
<br />
Make sure the hooks are completely covered by the diaper, or they may irritate your baby's skin.<br />
<br />

<h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>Directions:</b></h2>
Place grated soap in a small saucepan and cover it with water.<br />
<br />
If you let this sit overnight, it is MUCH faster.<br />
<br />
Heat on low until dissolved - don't stir too rapidly or too much, it will get foamy and you won't be able to see if it dissolved.<br />
<br />
If you let it sit overnight, it takes roughly 20 minutes to dissolve.<br />
<br />
If you didn't let it sit, it takes much longer.<br />
<br />

When the soap is just about melted, put the bucket in the tub and fill with hot water almost to the top, then add melted soap.<br />
<br />
Stir to combine.<br />
Add 1 cup of washing soda and mix well.<br />
Don't reverse the order or it won't turn out.<br />
<br />
As it cools it will thicken.<br />
Use about 1/2 cup for diapers.<br />
And 1-2 cups for other types of laundry.<br />

If you keep it in the big bucket, you will need to stir each time before you use it.<br />
I pour it into gallon jugs while it is still warm.<br />
<br />
If you do this, only fill 3/4 of the way.<br />
You will want to shake it to get it to mix and will need the room.<br />
I learned this the hard way. LOL.<br />
<br />
You can customize your detergent by adding essential oils to it.<br />
Only add to the current jug you are using, because it loses its smell.<br />
<br />
It is very soft without fabric softener.<br />
If you add fabric softener, it makes clothes feel funny.<br />

I make fleece pull-ons for my little ones and love these covers for both day and night.<br />
<br />
If you use Polartec or another outdoor-gear level fleece, you will need only one layer.<br />
<br />
If you use thin fleece, you will need at least two layers.<br />

Or, cut into triangles and make similar to the wool version below.<br />
<br />
You can add elastic at the waist and legs, or cut the rib knit off the bottom and cuffs of an old sweater to sew on.<br />
<br />
For wool pull-ons, recycle old sweaters - if you don't have any to use, check out the second-hand shops!<br />
<br />
You could also buy/find cheap pull-ons, cut them apart and use them as a pattern. Good luck!<br />

</tbody></table><h2><b>You'll need the following to make a baby butt sweater:</b></h2>
โข Old wool sweater. One with no holes will make two covers.<br />
โข Elastic <i>(1/4 inch wide)</i><br />
โข the obvious sewing machine, thread, scissors, etc.<br />
โข Ten minutes<br />
<br />
Wash <i>(on hot)</i> and dry <i>(on hot)</i> the sweater at least 2 or 3 times, until it is pretty well shrunk.<br />

This step not only felts the wool, making it quite waterproof but also allows the butt sweaters to be machine washed and dried without shrinking.<br />
<br />
Lay the sweater out on the floor. Cut off the sleeve cuffs and neckline.<br />
If the sleeve cuffs are very long, only cut off a few inches of them.<br />
You're not making pants!<br />
Cut the neckline piece in half.<br />
Set aside.<br />

From the front of the sweater, cut out a large triangle, with the bottom being the hem of the sweater, and the top point being up at the neckline.<br />
Do the same from the back.<br />
Discard sleeves, or save for another project.<br />
<br />
Lay the sweater-triangle down so the waistband is on top, and the triangle points down.<br />

Fold in the two top corners to meet each other.<br />

Sew each of these seams, from the top, stopping about 4" from the bottom<i> (less for skinny-legged babies).</i><br />
The open spaces are the leg holes.<br />
<br />
Trim the leg holes as necessary.<br />
Sew in the sleeve cuffs to finish the leg openings.<br />
<br />
If the waist is not snug enough, sew the ends of a piece of elastic <i>(long enough to fit snugly around child's waist)</i> together, and slip over sweater like a belt.<br />
Fold the top edge over to encase elastic and sew down.<br />
Voila!<br />

<br />
I have a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004JYIOK6/?tag=frugalbabytips-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Tolco Flip Top Cylinder Bottle | Flip top spout | ideal for travel">squirt bottle</a> filled with 2-3 tablespoons <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D2JMJPS/?tag=frugalbabytips-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Johnson Head-To-Toe Baby Wash | Ultra mild cleanser for your baby's skin and hair | gentle enough even for newborns">baby wash</a>, 2-3 tablespoons <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0032O1BH2/?tag=frugalbabytips-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Johnson's Baby Oil | Moisturizes baby's delicate skin | helps protect from dryness">baby oil</a> and water.<br />
<br />
I squirt his bottom, then wipe with the dry tissues.<br />
<br />
Facial tissues are softer and much less expensive than paper towels - and I don't have to bother with cutting the paper towels in half<i> (which can get quite bothersome).</i><br />
<br />

<br />
With a good absorbent diaper, maybe with the addition of a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B073JK81QZ/?tag=frugalbabytips-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="OsoCozy Gauze Diaper Unbleached Doublers | Added cloth diaper absorbency where your baby needs it most | 100% thirsty gauze cotton | Constructed of six layers, 4 x 14 inches">diaper doubler</a> or two, this will let your baby's skin breathe - yet help to keep the wetness inside. <br />
<br />
Plus, you can use these pants again when your baby is ready for potty learning. <br />

You can keep your little ones busy on a rainy <i><q>stay-in</q></i> day by creating an indoor sand-box or sensory box.<br /></span>

<br />
<b>ADD: </b>plastic cups, spoons, scoops, bowls, measuring cups, funnels, strainers, etc.<br />
<br />
Be sure to only fill to 3-4 inches below the top of your container to reduce spills.<br />
<br />
The cornmeal, rice, pasta noodles, dried beans, and oatmeal vacuum up quickly and don't scratch the floor.<br />
<br />

<br />
They are all in the wash too?? Use a plastic bag!<br />
<br />
Cut a T-shape out of a grocery bag for a baby under about 16 lbs., or a kitchen garbage bag for a bigger baby.<br />
<br />
Cut the bottom part of your <i><q>T</q></i> about 10"<i> (25cm)</i> wide on the bottom fold of the plastic bag.<br />
<br />
<b>This is the crotch part of your emergency <i><q>diaper cover</q>.</i></b><br />

Cut the top part of your <i><q>T</q></i> across the width of the plastic bag. This will be the waist ties.<br />
<br />
Make your <i><q>T</q></i> about 8" <i>(20cm)</i> high for small, 10" <i>(23cm)</i> high for medium or 13" <i>(33cm)</i> for large.<br />
<br />

Cut open the waist ties, so you can tie it on over baby's diaper.<br />
<br />
Ties can be about 20" <i>(51cm)</i> long for small, 23" <i>(58cm)</i> for medium or 27" (69cm) for large.<br />
<br />
<b>Trust me, it sounds more complicated than it is . . .</b><br />
<br />
<img alt="Image: Angel wrap" height="77" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZGo_mDTRK8U5O_YeYYW4xvYewHrCoQvmQRbSb3aqKEoDYF2iiH65ToajvfEJaDdGg6AUJNJZdeyM5OadzgcOSf9OmuuQ-vJttdXBWX700My-GBxkyu3B3CwSGra7FhOR4l0-b/s320/angel6.gif" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Angel wrap" width="78" /><br />
When you open up the cover, you should have a giant<i> <q>H</q></i> shape.<br />
<br />
Place a folded prefold diaper inside, place baby on top, and tie at each side of baby's waist.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Image: Angel wrap" height="77" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTMEUEzcetH1OhpkXWpqBnJF04uckykh23j-aWf53VX6BWZcb3p3tyRXi_qka9uT7geX3R8kuOosG83Vt00JoTEyZuoAvIhNceaCGrbjUkUW_xpjQJREkJAYSL8qdCprwiN0di/s320/angel6.gif" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Angel wrap" width="78" />If you really like this style of diaper cover, you can cut some more out of waterproof, rip-stop nylon for no-sew, indestructible, washable tie-on diaper covers.<br />

I've flown twice with my daughter, Mackenzie - we flew to and from Massachusetts at 2.5 months, then to and from at 7 months. I was alone with her the first time, and my husband was with us the second time. We'll be going again in July-August, which would be 14 months.<br />
<br />
If you can afford it, get the <a href="https://amzn.to/3c0DWBR" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Air Travel with Baby Made Easy">extra seat</a> - holding a 2.5-month-old was easy. Holding a 7-month-old was harder. We're getting a seat this time - we'll be flying there alone, then back with my husband.<br />

Check as much as you can. If you get a seat for the kiddo, he/she gets two bags as well. But be sure to save at least one bag worth for things you're bringing back with you - even if you get no gifts, things never pack as well!<br />
<br />
Roll the diapers to make them fit better in the <a href="https://amzn.to/39QHnsh" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Diaper Bag Backpack">diaper bag</a> - and pack a day's worth <i>(8-10 if possible)</i> plus an extra shirt for you and an extra outfit for the kiddo. I don't know if it's the air pressure or what, but we have had our worst blow-outs on planes!<br />
<br />
If you bring a <a href="hhttps://amzn.to/360d9SE" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Stroller Travel Bag โ Gate Check Stroller Bag For Airplane, Airport">stroller</a>, gate-check it - it will get you to the gate, then you can ditch it. That way it can help you carry a diaper bag, baby, and sling through the airport.<br />

Listen to my one word of advice - I don't care how addicted you are to your computer - do not try to carry baby, laptop bag, and diaper bag alone! It really isn't worth it - it gets bulky and heavy and cumbersome. But if you have a helper traveling with you, by all means, bring the laptop!<br />
<br />
Finally, if you have a <a href="https://amzn.to/3c075NJ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="traveling with kids">high-energy child</a>, board <b>*last*</b> - if you pre-board that's just a longer period of time for them to get upset!<br />
<br />
Happy traveling!<br />

Did you know... you can make your own matching stuffed toy book-ends out of your own adorable stuffed animals?<br />
<br />
Simply undo the back of your stuffed toy, take out some of the stuffing and fill with marbles for weight.<br />
<br />
Re-sew the back opening by hand.<br />
<br />

To prevent sliding, glue a non-slip rubber /silicone mesh pad on the bottom of the stuffed toy.<br />
<br />
This works great for matching the decor in your baby's room.<br />

I had a blast today! There's a small second-hand children's store just down the street from me.</span><br />
<br />
I decided to stop in and ask about cloth diapers/covers, and they showed me at least three bins of diapers and a basket full of covers.<br />
<br />
At the second-hand store, the prices ranged from $1.29 for three liners, to $3.99 for a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PHX9D1C/?tag=frugalbabytips-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Kushies Reusable Ultra-lite Diapers Trial Pack | Patented built in-flap for extra absorbency">Kooshies</a>...<br />
<br />
I spent about fifteen dollars and came home with a bag full enough to make a full load for my washer.<br />
<br />
I managed to pick up a couple of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0035JL944/?tag=frugalbabytips-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Dappi Brand | Pinless Contoured Cloth Diapers | 100% cotton interior and exterior with double thick rayon/poly felt middle layer">Dappi</a> Contoured diapers, and a nice <i>(unnamed)</i> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000TZXYW2/?tag=frugalbabytips-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="OsoCozy | Indian Cotton | Prefold Cloth Diapers | Diaper Service Quality Prefolds. Much nicer than chain store brands">prefold</a>.<br />
<br />
I mostly got <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IRP67MK/?tag=frugalbabytips-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="ALVABABY Baby Cloth Diapers One Size Adjustable Washable Reusable for Baby Girls and Boys | 6 Pack + 12 Inserts 6DM08 | by ALVA">All-in-ones</a> though for nighttime, and when my covers are in the wash.<br />
<br /><span style="font-size: medium;">
Then I decided to check <b>Amazon</b> for their economical diapers and covers</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;">- <a href="https://amzn.to/39BOu83" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Cloth Diapers and Covers: Priced low to high">prices started as low as $0.59/each</a>!!</span><br />
<br /><span style="font-size: medium;">
I also checked out <b>Ebay</b> and found <a href="https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dp2380057.m570.l1313%26_nkw%3Dcloth%2Bdiapers%26_sacat%3D0&campid=5338773753&toolid=10001&customid=MyFrugalBabyTips" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" title="Ebay Cloth Diapering Auctions">lots of great deals there</a>!</span><br />
