Baby Monitors
Baby monitors allow you to listen to baby in the next room or across the whole house, and they are so sensitive that you can even hear baby's breathing. And you can use them with older children, too, keeping an ear out for your preschoolers playing in another room. Baby monitors are usually a pair of light and portable units; a transmitter stays in baby's room (or wherever baby is) and a receiver can be carried around the house with you or placed next to your bed if you are sleeping in a different room. Video baby monitors (that work surprisingly well in the dark) are available too if you want to keep an eye on baby as well, and some units let you turn on music or soothing vibrations from another room. Don't forget to take your monitor on trips; if you're at Grandma's house and baby is sleeping upstairs, you can relax in the kitchen while still listening in case baby needs you.
Baby Clothes
Ah, baby clothes! Cute little Baby Pajamas with feet. Little hats and tiny Baby Socks. Diaper Covers and an entire Baby Layette of onesies,and nightshirts. In choosing baby clothes, as in raising a baby, you need to be both practical and sentimental. You need a lot of easy-to-wash clothes that baby can be gotten into and out of without unnecessary fuss. You're looking at around ten diaper changes a day at the start, not to mention at least three changes of clothes for reasons of messiness or temperature.
