While the endless perks aren't as endless, Buy Buy Baby frequently sends out 20 percent off coupons and they both offer completion coupons if your registry is bought out. Unfortunately, the two largest retailers, Amazon and Walmart, don't appear to be swayed by the Babies "R" Us closing. All of their normal deals apply when it comes to your registry though — a completion coupon and a vast inventory from which to choose — but they don't have anyone ready to help transfer one registry to another.
Although, with the wonder of Amazon Prime, you might not be that concerned. All of your gifts come right to your door with a gift receipt that makes thank you cards so much easier to process. No one wants to re-register for all the things they've already registered for once.

McCaffrey recommends parents stay away from anything they'd want to have a store warranty on. The closest comparable situation was when baby retailer Giggle quickly closed up shop last year , leaving parents stuck with gift cards, open registries and products they had no chance to return. But Giggle operated on a much smaller scale than Babies "R" Us, with just a handful of locations.
The uncertain future of Babies "R" Us impacts many more parents not only because there are so many more stores spread across the country, but because the Babies "R" Us registry program has been "full of great benefits", according to McCaffrey, and had a great selection at a lot of different price points. This is a clear opportunity for other retailers to step up. No players have announced plans to accept Babies "R" Us gift cards at this stage, but competitors are assisting Babies "R" Us customers in other ways.

Add to that the struggle of sorting through fact and fiction when it comes to advice and— whew —it's enough to make you more tired than you already are with that newborn in the house. Just like those childhood games of telephone when one statement would get twisted by the time it was told a dozen times, there are many parenting misconceptions that still tend to get traction. This is especially true with myths about bottle-feeding—something that the majority of parents will do during their baby's infancy, either exclusively or occasionally.
Not all bottles are created equally. Many parents experience anxiety when it seems their infant rejects all bottles, which is especially nerve wracking if a breastfeeding mom is preparing to return to work. However, it's often a matter of giving the baby some time to warm up to the new feeding method, says Katie Ferraro , a registered dietician, infant feeding specialist and associate professor of nutrition at the University of California San Francisco graduate School of Nursing.
So often, the question of whether a parent is using formula or breastfeeding is presented exclusively as one or the other. In reality, many babies are combo-fed—meaning they have formula sometimes, breast milk other times. The advantage with mixed feeding is the babies still get the benefits of breast milk while parents can ensure the overall nutritional and caloric needs are met through formula, says Ferraro.
For parents looking for simplification in their lives meaning, all of us , cleaning bottles day after day can sound daunting. But, really, it doesn't require much more effort than you are already used to doing with the dishes each night: With bottles that are safe for the top rack of the dishwasher , cleaning them is as easy as letting the machine work for you. For added confidence in the sanitization, Dr. Brown's offers an incredibly helpful microwavable steam sterilizer that effectively kills all household bacteria on up to four bottles at a time.
Not to mention it can also be used on pacifiers, sippy cups and more. One of the leading theories on what causes colic is indigestion, which can be caused by baby getting air bubbles while bottle feeding. However, Dr. Brown's bottles are the only bottles in the market that are actually clinically proven to reduce colic thanks to an ingenious internal vent system that eliminates negative pressure and air bubbles.
By the time your baby is six months old way to go! Explains Ferraro, "Even though they don't need water or additional liquids at this point, it is a feeding milestone that helps promote independent eating and even speech development. With a complete line of products to see you from newborn feeding to solo sippy cups, Dr. Brown's does its part to make these new transitions less daunting.
And, for new parents, that truly is priceless. This article was sponsored by Dr. Thank you for supporting the brands that support Motherly and mamas. Our bodies change so much during pregnancy.
Between the weight gain, the waddle and things getting all swollen, you can end up feeling like your body just doesn't fit anymore. That's been true for Jessica Simpson during her third pregnancy. The mogul mama had problems with her swollen feet, and now she's having a problem with her toilet. Don't lean back on the toilet when pregnant," Simpson captioned a pic of her broken seat.
Jessica Simpson on Instagram: Simpson has a great sense of humor about this whole breaking-the-toilet episode, but it's pretty clear this pregnancy has been hard on her. She's been wearing slippers almost exclusively, judging by her last few Instagram pics, and can't even sleep in her bed at night. Insane heartburn, broken toilets and feet so swollen only slippers will fit. Pregnancy sure isn't fun sometimes especially when you're in the home stretch like Simpson , but having done this before she knows it's worth it in the end.
Hang in there, Jessica. You'll be cuddling your new baby, sleeping horizontally and wearing real shoes very soon. We live in a world where anything we want can be ordered online, and if that item is too expensive cheaper, knock-off versions of all kinds of everyday products are just a scroll away. A counterfeit purse or a cheaply made pair of shoes probably isn't going to hurt the end user, but a fake car seat absolutely could, and unfortunately, they're ending up in the back seats of parents' cars. Luke's Children's Hospital had come across two families in possession of brand-new car seats that were missing vital safety features including five-point harness chest clips , Motherly began looking into where such car seats are coming from and why American consumers would be buying them.

Luke's Pediatric Education and Prevention Programs in Idaho could not believe what they were seeing when they came across the first fake car seat. For people who deal with car seats day in and day out, the missing chest clip was a dead giveaway that something was wrong, but for new parents who don't have much experience with car seats, it's an easy thing to miss.
Luke's, the first car seat was noticed by a car seat tech who was helping the parents of a newborn baby prepare to leave the hospital. She noticed it was missing its chest clip, and was quite flimsy. Bryan says the family explained that the car seat was part of a three-part travel system they'd received as a gift. They were told the gift-giver had ordered it through Amazon. The travel system was branded as "SafePlus," a name similar to a product line of a popular European brand.
