			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="tweetmeme_button" style="float: left; margin-right: 10px;"><a href="http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.babiesonline.com%2Farticles%2Fpregnancy%2Fmusthaveitems.asp"><img src="http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebutton.gif?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.babiesonline.com%2Farticles%2Fpregnancy%2Fmusthaveitems.asp" height="61" width="51" /></a></div><p align="justify">You have been waiting for this month since the <a href="http://www.babiesonline.com/pregnancy/monthbymonth/trimester1.asp">first trimester</a> began and you got your positive pregnancy test! At the end of this month you will be holding your precious baby in your arms. But are you ready for all that <a href="http://www.babiesonline.com/articles/pregnancy/beforelaborbegins.asp">labor and delivery</a> will bring?</p>
<p align="justify">You have probably had at least one <a href="http://www.babiesonline.com/articles/babyshowers/">baby shower</a>, or if you already have kids you had several &#8220;left over&#8221; items you can use for this baby. Before you bring the baby home there are several <a href="http://www.babiesonline.com/articles/baby/essentialsupplies.asp">essentials</a> that you want to make sure you have waiting for you.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Infant/Convertible Car Seat</strong><br />
There are no ifs, ands or buts when it comes to having a car seat to bring your baby home in. If you have your baby in a hospital then you will not be allowed to leave the hospital without having your newborn secured in a car seat.</p>
<p align="justify">There are two types of car seats you can buy for your baby. One is an infant car seat. It is specifically designed to hold babies up to approximately 22 pounds and 26 inches, and being portable so you do not have to disturb a sleeping baby to get him out of a car. They are also convenient because you can strap your baby in while in the house and then just lock the car seat in the base.</p>
<p align="justify">The other type of car seat you might buy is a convertible car seat. This kind stays in your car all the time, but is designed to face backwards until your babies first birthday, and then sit forwards until your baby is about 40 pounds. Some convertible car seats can hold your baby till they are about 60 pounds.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Supplies</strong><br />
Before you head to the hospital, you should make sure you have your house well stocked on all the supplies you will need when you bring your baby home, so that you do not have to run to the store immediately. Make sure you have plenty of diapers, diaper rash ointment, baby powder, diaper wipes, wash cloths, scratch mitts, and gowns for your baby to sleep in. You will be tired upon arriving home from the hospital so having the supplies close at hand will help save time and save your energy.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>A Place for Baby to Sleep</strong><br />
Make sure you have a plan for a place to lay your baby to sleep. There are many choices out there. You may choose to co-sleep with your baby in your bed. If so you might want to buy a sleep positioner to help keep your baby safe. Other choices for sleeping arrangements include a crib, a bassinet or a travel yard. Bassinets are designed to keep your baby close by you and can often be moved throughout the house.</p>
<p align="justify">Travel yards are often designed with built in bassinets that can be removed when the baby outgrows the weight limit. Travel yards are nice because not only can they be taken around the house, but they can be packed up and taken to Grandma&#8217;s for the day. Some babies will remain in a travel yard until they outgrow it and move into a toddler bed.</p>
<p align="justify">The majority of babies are placed in a crib at some point, whether it is when they are first brought home, or when they outgrow a bassinet. The crib is normally the center of a nursery, and can come in many styles and colors. Crib bedding that you pick will lead to the <a href="http://www.babiesonline.com/articles/pregnancy/nurserydecoratingideas.asp">entire design of your nursery</a>.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>Baby Bath Tub<br />
</strong>You want to make sure when you bring your baby home that you have a safe place to bathe him or her once the umbilical cord falls off. Newborns are too small to be placed in your bath tub and they will need support to keep from falling over. Some people choose to set their baby in a sink. If you choose to use the kitchen sink, you will want an infant bather to set the baby in, so that your baby doesn&#8217;t fall over. You can also set the bather up in the bath tub as the baby gets bigger and wash him there. There are several different types of baby bath tubs normally ranging between $10 to $40.</p>
<p align="justify">There are probably other products that you will find that you can&#8217;t live without once you get your baby home. If you find that you have forgotten something don&#8217;t panic. If possible send out a friend or family member to pick up the item for you so that you can concentrate on settling in with your new baby.</p>

<p align="justify"><a href="http://www.babiesonline.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/itching-during-pregnancy.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3330" title="itching-during-pregnancy" src="http://www.babiesonline.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/itching-during-pregnancy.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a>Itching during pregnancy is quite normal. The most common cause is dry skin, also known as xerosis, which can be caused by not staying well hydrated. Xerosis can be treated by increasing daily water intake and rubbing lotion on the itchy areas.</p>
<p align="justify">Other causes of itchy skin include a liver abnormality called intrahepatic (within the liver) cholestasis (pooling of bile salts) of pregnancy, chicken pox, Fifth&#8217;s disease, or even a possible reaction to <a href="http://www.babiesonline.com/articles/pregnancy/importanceofprenatals.asp">prenatal vitamins</a> or a new medication. If you have a rash that will not go away, or is accompanied by a fever, you should consult your <a href="http://www.babiesonline.com/articles/pregnancy/midwivesanddoctors.asp">doctor</a>.</p>
<p align="justify">Some women may experience some vaginal itching during pregnancy. This itching can be caused by a sexually transmitted disease, or an infection, but is more commonly caused by the change in your vaginal PH level. Yeast infections during pregnancy are also very common and can be the cause of moderate to severe itching.</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>What Can You Do?<br />
</strong>Before trying to treat vaginal itching with over the counter or home remedies, you should consult your doctor or midwife to rule out the possibility of any STDs. If it is determined that your itching is being caused by a change in your PH level, there are several things you can do to try to relieve the itch.</p>
<ul>
<li>Run a bath and add baking soda to it</li>
<li>Make a paste of baking soda and water to put on the itchy areas</li>
<li>Place a cold compress on the itchy area</li>
</ul>
<p align="justify"><strong>Preventing Vaginal Itching<br />
</strong>There are many things you can try to do to help prevent the vaginal itching from starting or returning during your pregnancy.</p>
<ul>
<li>Keep yourself clean and dry</li>
<li>Always wipe from front to back to keep bacteria away from your vagina</li>
<li>Refrain from douching</li>
<li>Use scentless detergents</li>
<li>Wear loose clothing and cotton panties</li>
<li>Take warm baths free of perfumed bubble bath, and use soap for sensitive skin to wash</li>
</ul>
<p align="justify">If you still experience recurrent itching, whether on your belly, arms, legs or vaginal, consult your <a href="http://www.babiesonline.com/articles/pregnancy/midwivesanddoctors.asp">doctor</a> to discuss other causes of itchy skin and what you can do about it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="tweetmeme_button" style="float: left; margin-right: 10px;"><a href="http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.babiesonline.com%2Farticles%2Fhealth%2Ffightingthepregnancyblahs.asp"><img src="http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebutton.gif?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.babiesonline.com%2Farticles%2Fhealth%2Ffightingthepregnancyblahs.asp" height="61" width="51" /></a></div><p><em>by Lee-Anne Robert</em></p>
<p align="justify">Every pregnant woman has experienced the pregnancy blahs. I can remember feeling so big and unattractive throughout my two pregnancies, and secretly wishing for the pregnancy to be over so that I could have my body back and fit into my normal clothes. It’s sad to say, really, because pregnancy is such a beautiful experience and the fact that you created this little human being that is developing in your body should make you feel wonderful through every step of the way.</p>
<p align="justify">Oh, but those pregnancy blahs kick in! Your stomach is growing, you cannot fit into your normal clothes, you can’t see your feet, you waddle when you walk, your feet and legs are swollen, and other additional physical changes make you feel, well, blah! Sometime during your pregnancy, you may even start to feel bored with the pregnancy and/or feel depressed. Yes, those raging hormones kick in too.</p>
<p align="justify">Here are some tips in helping to beat those pregnancy blahs:</p>
<ol>
<li>Eat healthy and get plenty of rest. Choose healthy foods and ensure that your intake is nutritious.</li>
<li>Exercise. Even a short walk in the outdoors will uplift your spirits.</li>
<li>Make yourself feel attractive by taking the time to groom yourself. Do your hair and put on makeup. We all feel so confident and alive when we look good.</li>
<li>Buy maternity outfits that will make you feel good. Don’t buy just because they fit you.</li>
<li>Ensure to include pretty accessories in your daily wardrobe such as nice earrings or a pretty scarf. Most of us raid our spouse’s closet for clothes that we can wear throughout our pregnancy. Lovely accessories even dress up your spouse’s wardrobe.</li>
<li>If you start to feel bored with your pregnancy, choose an activity that you will enjoy to help you through the boredom. Many woman will prepare for the baby by going shopping or decorating the nursery. Other woman choose a hobby such as gardening, preparing a scrapbook, writing in a pregnancy journal, etc.</li>
<li>Roughly 10 percent of women experience mild or moderate depression during pregnancy. If you feel persistent depression or anxiety, seek professional help.</li>
<li>Spend quality time with your spouse. Go for a romantic dinner or out to a movie. Enjoy this time because it’s hard to find time after the baby is born.</li>
<li>Take time out for yourself. Motherhood is just around the corner so take this time to enjoy your independence.</li>
</ol>
<p align="justify">Although it may seem like 9 months is taking forever, really, it goes very quickly. Enjoy the wonderful experience of pregnancy each step of the way. There will be a time in our lives when our children have grown up and we wish to live the pregnancy experience all over again.</p>
<p align="justify">You can beat the pregnancy blahs! Feel good about being a woman and feel good about bringing a wonderful new baby into the world.</p>

<a target="clubmom" href="http://www.clubmomlinks.com/e.asp?e=12&amp;id=1067">http://www.clubmom.com</a>Pregnancy doesn&#8217;t have to mean hiding under shapeless shirts and leggings or tent dresses; the trick is to find a look that spells confidence and comfort. Here, four women share their favorite apparel picks.</p>
<p><strong>Name:</strong> Sandy Frinton<br />
<strong>Age:</strong> 32<br />
<strong>Hometown:</strong> Poughkeepsie, New York<br />
<strong>How far along:</strong> 28 weeks<br />
<strong>Favorite look:</strong> Jeans</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a preppy, classic dresser, and I typically wear clothes from the Gap, Eddie Bauer, and L.L. Bean. My husband likes me to wear the kinds of things I always wear. He doesn&#8217;t like &#8220;pregnancy clothes.&#8221; I don&#8217;t think he&#8217;s used to my new body.</p>
<p>My favorite maternity clothes are my husband&#8217;s old Levi&#8217;s jeans from college. I found a bunch of them when we were cleaning one day. They&#8217;re in all different sizes so I can grow into some of them. His big jeans were a great find because I&#8217;m still too small for maternity jeans. His Levi&#8217;s are baggy, long, and so comfortable. You can&#8217;t beat the fact that they were free. I don&#8217;t want to invest money in clothes until I&#8217;m skinny again.</p>
<p>People say that I look cute in his jeans and I like that I don&#8217;t look as big to the outside world as I really am. I top the jeans with his old oxford shirts—white, pink, yellow, and pinstriped. I just throw them in the washer and dryer and roll up the sleeves. With his clothes, I&#8217;m sporting bigger sizes, but I feel confident knowing I&#8217;ve kept my style.</p>
<p><strong>Name:</strong> Jill Holder<br />
<strong>Age:</strong> 33<br />
<strong>Hometown:</strong> Brooklyn, New York<br />
<strong>How far along:</strong> 36 weeks<br />
<strong>Favorite look:</strong> Power suit</p>
<p>I&#8217;m very short, so I&#8217;m conscious about looking round and stocky. I like to wear clothes that give me a shape. Most maternity clothes are &#8220;tenty,&#8221; like smocks and baby doll dresses. I just can&#8217;t do the look where clothes balloon out over the belly.</p>
<p>So my best find has been the business suit I bought for less than $50. It&#8217;s charcoal gray and has pants, a skirt, and a jacket with a zipper down the front and two pockets on each breast. The jacket also has a clip so I can taper it in the back. I like that I can switch off between the skirt and the pants. Everything is made out of cotton jersey, so it&#8217;s comfortable and machine washable.</p>
<p>I spice up the suit with a pair of black leather mules. It&#8217;s easy to forget I&#8217;m pregnant because I look so chic in the outfit. I can walk into a meeting and be taken seriously. One guy at work didn&#8217;t even know I was pregnant. When I wear bulky maternity clothes, people just look at my belly. When I wear my suit, people look at my face.</p>
<p><strong>Name:</strong> Angie Tucker<br />
<strong>Age:</strong> 29<br />
<strong>Hometown:</strong> Garden Grove, California<br />
<strong>How far along:</strong> 26 weeks<br />
<strong>Favorite look:</strong> Stretchy separates</p>
<p>It&#8217;s difficult to find stylish clothes that I&#8217;d wear if I weren&#8217;t pregnant. It&#8217;s bad enough that you gain weight, yet don&#8217;t look pregnant until the fifth or sixth month—the last thing you want to do is wear dorky clothes.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m normally thin and big-busted with an hourglass shape. I like to dress sexy and wear fitted fashions, and pregnancy is no exception. My favorite look is a long, black stretch polyester-blend skirt with a black short-sleeve top. The top was $14 and the skirt was $20. The shirt is stretchy and snug. It shows off my belly and has a scoop neck that looks great, especially when I wear a little choker necklace. The skirt has a drawstring waist so I can roll over the top to make it shorter if I want. I wear black slides to show my toes. I get a lot of compliments when I wear my sexy outfit. It&#8217;s nice to know I can be pregnant and keep my personal style</p>
<p><strong>Name:</strong> Jadie Gamble<br />
<strong>Age:</strong> 38<br />
<strong>Hometown:</strong> Atlanta<br />
<strong>How far along:</strong> 31 weeks<br />
<strong>Favorite look:</strong> Bathing suit</p>
<p>I&#8217;m kind of chubby, and I got bigger sooner than other women. When I was six months pregnant, I probably looked like I was at eight months. I&#8217;m really big now and people ask me if I&#8217;m having twins. But I&#8217;m not worried about the weight gain—I think I look pretty good all around. In fact, I like showing off my pregnancy.</p>
<p>I bought a great black one-piece swimsuit with spaghetti straps for $35. It has a skirt that makes my thighs look nice, and its scoop neck shows off my cleavage. The other day I felt so good in it, I pranced around the pool.</p>
<p>I actually feel more confident in a bathing suit when I&#8217;m pregnant than I do when I&#8217;m not expecting. In a bathing suit, people definitely can see that I&#8217;m pregnant. My husband likes when I show some skin, too. He says I look like a really cute pregnant chick.</p>

<p>Some women believe they have to look thin to be beautiful. That is so far from the truth it is not even funny. There is a wide selection of cute maternity clothes in retail stores or online that can make you feel attractive again no matter what size you happen to be. There is absolutely no reason why any woman should have to squeeze uncomfortably into an outfit that is way too small in an attempt to look stunning. It&#8217;s not the size, but the style and fit that will improve your look.</p>
<p>The purpose of maternity clothing is to help you feel as comfortable as possible with your increasing weight and size. But that doesn&#8217;t mean you can&#8217;t find some trendy maternity clothes that you can feel good in. Finding some funky maternity clothes just takes a little bit of searching online or through retail stores. The cute maternity clothing you crave is out there, it just has to be found.</p>
<p>In addition to maternity pants, shirts, skirts and dresses there are other items of clothing that can increase a pregnant woman&#8217;s comfort. Finding the right underwear is very important too. If you want to look good you need to feel good. Nursing bras should have the ability to stretch, which is why cotton bras are the most popular during and after pregnancy.</p>
<p>If you are wanting to continue feeling sexy for your husband you may experience the need for some maternity thongs. They have become a very popular item of late. They can be found in very soft fabrics that will stretch comfortably below a woman&#8217;s belly. They can be made of stretchy cotton fabric for the ultimate in comfort and also come in an assortment of exciting colors and prints. Just because you are pregnant doesn&#8217;t mean you can&#8217;t wear similar clothes that you are already used to.</p>
<p>Other items of clothing that can still be worn during this period are jeans and T-shirts. Jeans and T-shirts are specially made for mothers-to-be. They have special stretchy areas that will conform to your shape while still looking trendy and attractive.</p>
<p>Skirts and dresses can also be worn regularly during pregnancy. Skirts are probably the most popular form of apparel during this time of your life. They can fit loosely for comfort while hiding some of the extra shape you are doing your best not to display. Dresses are also popular for the same reasons. This type of apparel gives you a little extra room for both growth and comfort.</p>
<p>The main thing to watch out for is not buying outfits that are too snug to begin with. It&#8217;s usually wise to purchase apparel that has a little &#8220;growing into&#8221; room. Buying things too tight means you will outgrow it quicker. If you have a large shopping budget you may be able to get away with buying things to fit. But if you are looking to save money by going with cheap discounts you should consider finding maternity clothes that will have a little extra room for growth. By shopping this way you will be able to save money by wearing those funky clothes for a longer period of time.</p>
<p>Now that you can see how important it is to find cute, trendy and funky maternity clothing for both your comfort and your appearance it&#8217;s time to start searching for them. Shopping online allows you do find cute petite or lovely plus size outfits in the convenience of your own home. Once you know what&#8217;s out there you can then visit the retail stores and start trying on the clothes that will help you to feel the most beautiful possible.</p>

<p align="justify">Starting new things for your child sometime difficult, but you still have to do it. Potty training is one phase that your child has to go through. So, find out when is your child ready for potty training. Here are those five ready signs:</p>
<p><strong>1. Takes Off Own Clothes</strong><br />
Let’s face it. The first step to becoming dry begins with your toddler’s ability to recognize he has to go to the bathroom. The second step is his ability to pull down his pants, or lift up her dress. The third step is actually going to use the potty. If your child begins insisting on taking off his clothes then he probably is ready to begin training for the potty.</p>
<p><strong>2. Talks about Using the Potty</strong><br />
He may say, “I want to use the potty.” Or, he may just point to it and sit down. Either case he is showing an extreme interest in the little chair. Well, what do you do if he’s interested in sitting; maybe he’ll be interested in using it. You never know unless you try. Hey diapers are expensive why spend more on them if you don’t have to.</p>
<p><strong>3. Does a Potty Dance?</strong><br />
There are some children doing potty dance? Does your little one have a routine? Does he stomp, turn, twist, and grab his groin like Michael Jackson? If he does, then that’s his potty dance. He’s ready, ready, and ready if he has his own version and he dances it whether there’s music on or not.</p>
<p><strong>4. Shows an Interest in the Bathroom or Toilet</strong><br />
This is the big koruna of all ready signs. The big earthquake so to speak. If your child is curious about the bathroom or toilet, then he’s ready to learn how to use it. Is he curious about how it flushes? Well, that’s because he wants to know how that giant white chair works. Why does it make that sound? It’s a noise like no other. He’s not being bad when you have to drag him out of the toilet. He wants to know what the toilet is. He wants to know how it works. He is ready, ready, and ready for potty training.</p>
<p><strong>5. Stays Dry Overnight &amp; During Naps<br />
</strong>This is a hard readiness sign to understand. If you child staying dry overnights and at naptime that is the sign that he is ready for potty training. In any event, your child is ready if he displays this sign.</p>
<p>Now, does your child exhibit any two of these ready signs? If so, then get ready to do your potty training. You will never know those signs if you are not pay attention to their reaction.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="tweetmeme_button" style="float: left; margin-right: 10px;"><a href="http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.babiesonline.com%2Farticles%2Fgreen%2Fneedorganiccotton.asp"><img src="http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebutton.gif?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.babiesonline.com%2Farticles%2Fgreen%2Fneedorganiccotton.asp" height="61" width="51" /></a></div><p style="text-align: left;">There&#8217;s nothing sweeter than your little bundle of joy all dressed up in soft, cute cotton baby clothes. It used to be hard to find infant clothes made of cotton, but as more parents demand them, they are becoming much more available. Organic cotton clothes, however, are still hard to find sometimes, and they can be quite expensive. Ecologically speaking, are they really worth the effort to hunt out and pay for?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.babiesonline.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/do-i-really-need-to-look-for-organic-cotton-baby-clothes1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1415" title="do-i-really-need-to-look-for-organic-cotton-baby-clothes" src="http://www.babiesonline.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/do-i-really-need-to-look-for-organic-cotton-baby-clothes1.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="251" /></a>It is reported that cotton farming uses a full quarter of all pesticides used on crops around the U.S, and is the third heaviest user of pesticides around the world. Think about that fact for a moment. Considering all the many varied food crops there are, from grains to vegetables to fruits, that is a staggering thought. If we want to live in an environmentally responsible way, it just makes sense that we should do all we can with our purchasing dollars to support organic cotton farmers.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Where baby is concerned, there are other considerations. Organic cotton is not bleached or dyed with harsh chemicals that can irritate sensitive skin. In fact, innovative agricultural engineers have developed cotton that grows in a few different attractive natural colors. Also, since there have never been any pesticides used on the cotton, you don&#8217;t have to be concerned about there being pesticide residues in the clothing.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Don&#8217;t forget that babies also spend a lot of time in contact with their crib sheet and blankets. These items can be found in organic cotton, too. New suppliers are designing attractive organic baby items every day.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">If you&#8217;re interested in dye-free organic cotton clothes for your baby, they come in various soft natural shades from green and yellow to red-brown and brown. Some baby clothes manufacturers offer designs in patterns using more than one natural color of cotton. The colors don&#8217;t fade like dyed colors do, but deepen as the item is used.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">While organic cotton is a luscious alternative for dressing your sweet baby, you might want to check out some of the other organic natural fibers that are being used in baby clothes. Fast-growing bamboo is now being used in blankets and shirts. Hemp is often used in diapers and other items as well.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Green babies will appreciate the extra care you take in providing them with organic fiber clothes and other earth friendly items. After all, you&#8217;re raising that child with an eye to the future of the planet. <!-- change these --></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="tweetmeme_button" style="float: left; margin-right: 10px;"><a href="http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.babiesonline.com%2Farticles%2Fbaby%2Fgoingoutwithbaby.asp"><img src="http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebutton.gif?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.babiesonline.com%2Farticles%2Fbaby%2Fgoingoutwithbaby.asp" height="61" width="51" /></a></div><p style="text-align: left;">Gone are the days where you can just throw on your flip flops, grab your purse and run out the door. Once you have a baby you have to be much more prepared, and give yourself a lot more time. Not only do you have to get yourself ready, but you have to get your baby ready too. If you are planning a day out, or even just going out with your baby for a couple of hours, there are a few things you should remember to do. These things will make the trip much more pleasant for all involved.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://www.babiesonline.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/going-out-with-your-baby.jpg" alt="going-out-with-your-baby.jpg" align="left" /><strong>The Diaper Bag</strong><br />
Don&#8217;t wait till you are ready to leave to stock the <a href="http://www.babiesonline.com/articles/baby/diaperbagchecklist.asp">diaper bag</a>. If possible check for supplies before you leave while baby is napping. Even the night before if you know you are heading somewhere. Make sure you have plenty of diapers and <a href="http://www.babiesonline.com/articles/baby/makebabywipes.asp">wipes</a> to get you through your trip. Also make sure you have a couple of changes of <a href="http://www.babiesonline.com/articles/baby/babyclothes.asp">clothes</a> for your baby jut incase there is an accident.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Schedule Extra Time<br />
</strong>It takes a while to get baby ready to go. After making sure he has a clean diaper you have to get him dressed, get him in his car seat, grab the diaper bag (which should already be stocked), grab a blanket and maybe a couple of toys, pack some snacks if your baby is at the age to have snacks, and a bottle or <a href="http://www.babiesonline.com/articles/baby/frombottletosippy.asp">sippy</a> of some type of fluid. Once you have everything in hand, you have to get your baby out of the house and strapped into the car. This whole process can easily take 15-20 extra minutes before you leave.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">While out it is likely that you will spend more time than normal doing even the simplest things. You will have to take time outs to <a href="http://www.babiesonline.com/articles/breastfeeding/">feed</a> the baby and change a diaper. Many times as soon as you change him, you will have to change him again. A simple 10 minute trip the store, can easily and quickly turn into an hour long trip, or longer.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Feeding Your Baby</strong><br />
Especially if you are <a href="http://www.babiesonline.com/articles/breastfeeding/breastfeedinginpublic.asp">breastfeeding</a> and your baby won&#8217;t take a bottle, feed him before you leave the house. If you feed him he will not only be full and should be able to go a couple of hours without eating, but he will be happier and might actually sleep. If your baby will take a bottle, take one with you in case you need it suddenly, and if he is old enough take some snacks like cheerios and goldfish.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Naptime<br />
</strong>Most babies will fall asleep in the car. If yours falls asleep easily in the car and you have a long drive to make, try to schedule it at your baby&#8217;s <a href="http://www.babiesonline.com/articles/baby/solvingnaptimeproblems.asp">naptime</a>. If your baby is asleep then running errands and such will go much faster. If your baby will not sleep in the car, the schedule your outings to coincide with the time your baby wakes up. This way he is well rested and happy, instead of tired and cranky.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Going out with your baby really is a test of timing, patience and good planning in order to guarantee that it will be a successful and fun time for everyone involved. While out just remember to listen to and pay attention to your baby&#8217;s cues. Babies are great at letting us know when they are unhappy or just simply want to be held.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="tweetmeme_button" style="float: left; margin-right: 10px;"><a href="http://api.tweetmeme.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.babiesonline.com%2Farticles%2Ffashion-style%2Fprepregnancyclothing.asp"><img src="http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebutton.gif?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.babiesonline.com%2Farticles%2Ffashion-style%2Fprepregnancyclothing.asp" height="61" width="51" /></a></div><p style="text-align: left;">What is the one thing that women look forward to the most after their baby is born? Getting out of the limited selection of maternity clothes that they have available to them, and back into some of their favorite pre-pregnancy clothing. For some this can take a very long time.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img src="http://www.babiesonline.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/prepregnancy-clothing-a-dream.jpg" alt="prepregnancy-clothing-a-dream.jpg" align="left" />It is very small percent of women that can walk out of the hospital wearing and outfit that they wore before they got pregnant. This is due to many factors that occur during the pregnancy. The woman&#8217;s starting pregnancy weight, the amount of weight that she gains, where she gains her weight, her physical fitness, and how she carries her baby can all contribute to how soon a new mother will fit back into her pre-pregnancy clothes.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The recommended average amount of weight gain during a pregnancy is 25-35 pounds. This is adjusted to reflect a woman’s weight when pregnancy begins. If a woman is underweight for her height her doctor might recommend that she gains a few extra pounds. If she is overweight her doctor might suggest that she not gain quite as much weight as what is recommended. If a woman starts out at a thin or average weight, it is likely that because of the weight she will gain and the places she will gain it (probably belly, butt, thighs), that she will not be able to slip right back into her pre-pregnancy clothing. Not only will getting back into pre-pregnancy clothes be a long time coming, but some women might even continue to look pregnancy for a month or two after giving birth.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Women generally gain weight in their butt and thighs, and this is no different during pregnancy. Not only do their hips spread making room for the uterus and baby, but many women pile up excess pounds on the lower half of their body. Because of this, even if a woman is lucky enough to lose her pregnancy belly immediately, it isn&#8217;t likely that she will fit back into her designer pre-pregnancy jeans anytime soon. Women who start off a pregnancy greatly overweight are likely not to gain much weight at all, and may never need maternity clothing. For those that do they will probably be able to fit back into their pre-pregnancy clothes very quickly.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Besides the extra padding a woman acquires on the bottom half of her body during pregnancy, she will also get bigger on top. In preparation of breastfeeding a woman’s breasts begin to grow immediately upon getting pregnant. Even if a woman chooses not to breastfeed, her breasts will still be larger throughout pregnancy and afterwards until her milk dries up. Because of this, many time shirts will not fit, or button up shirts will pucker when buttoned.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">All hope is not gone. A woman can help increase the rate of how quickly she bounces back to her pre-pregnancy figure by taking care of her body during pregnancy. A woman who exercises and eats a healthy diet throughout pregnancy will have a healthier, stronger body after pregnancy. In many cases these women are back in their pre-pregnancy clothes immediately, or within a matter of a couple of weeks.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">How you carried your baby also relates directly to how fast you are back in your pre-pregnancy clothes. Some women will carry their babies all out front. These are the women other pregnant women are jealous of because they have a cute, perky belly, and from the back do not look pregnant. While these women will still gain weight in the normal areas, carrying their baby out front often makes it look like they haven’t gained weight at all. When the baby is born and the woman’s uterus contracts her belly often looks like it went away overnight. While this woman may not be able to fit into her sexy, tight jeans, she can probably wear a looser pair of jeans, or other loose fitting pre-pregnancy clothing from before she got pregnant.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Some women carry their babies around their sides versus all out front. When this happens there is often time extra padding left over after the baby is born. This side padding will make it hard for a woman to fit into many pairs of jeans, shorts and skirts for several weeks after her pregnancy. Until the uterus shrinks and the skin tightens up, a woman may find herself grabbing the maternity clothes more often.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">It isn’t hopeless by any means. Most of the time a new mom will eventually get back into those favorite pre-pregnancy jeans, and the nice dress to go out to dinner with her partner. For the rare few it will happened immediately, or within a couple of weeks of giving birth. For others it may take several months. If she is determined though, any woman can do it.</p>
