Many first time parents suffer from "sticker shock" when they begin registering for baby gifts and purchasing the needed baby accessories. It's natural to desire all of the latest gadgets and adorable clothes, but it adds up quickly. As the mother of three small children, I've found a few tricks that can make parenting easier on the wallet.

Believe it or not, there is an art to burping baby. I always thought it was simple: throw him/her over your shoulder, pat their back, and out would come a burp. Simple enough, right? Wrong! Burping is a technique that must be learned; otherwise a frustrated parent could spend all day working up that one little burp. With such a small belly, one little air bubble can cause intense discomfort.

A common, yet frustrating baby skin problem is diaper rash. Diaper rash is a skin irritation typically caused by irritants or excessive moisture in the diaper area. Diaper rash is especially common when baby starts eating solid foods, is teething, or is taking antibiotics.

Making your own baby food gives you the distinct advantage of controlling what goes into your baby’s sensitive tummy. You determine how much, if any, sugar and spices your baby gets. Even when found on sale for as low as 50 cents per jar, producing your own is a much less expensive alternative to ready made. Making baby food is actually very simple with a few simple tools: a blender, food processor, baby food grinder or similar machine, a steamer or boiling pot, ice cube trays, and a few minutes of your time.

Cradle Cap is seborrheic dermatitis -- in plain english, it is simply a bad case of dandruff. Cradle Cap is a very common, and harmless, condition in newborns, caused by overproduction of oil glands in baby’s skin and scalp. It is characterized by red or yellowish "scales" and usually appears on baby’s scalp, eyebrows, forehead, and behind the ears.
http://www.babyuniversity.com/content/view/207/37/ HUMOR Why Ask Why?
As the mother of three very inquisitive children, I hear the words "Why" and "What" several times per day. Many times I am unable to provide an acceptable explanation, yet they continue to quiz me. I've decided that I also deserve to ask a few "Why's" and "What's" myself. If anyone holds the answers to these questions, please send them my way!
http://www.babyuniversity.com/content/view/345/39/ Approaching Childbirth the Second Time Around
As the birth of our second child quickly approaches, I am reminded of what a wonderful man I managed to marry. He stayed with me during the entire 36 hour ordeal last time and never gave up on me, even when I did. However, before we brave this joyful event again, there are a few requests that I would like to make of him ...
http://www.babyuniversity.com/content/view/381/39/ The 10 Commandments of Fast Food Playgrounds
Although a few unwritten rules may seem obvious to you and I, they apparently escape some parents who believe in "turning 'em loose". Therefore, I propose the following 10 Commandments of Fast Food Playlands be posted on the door, highly visible as you enter the "PlayZone" ... We just returned from a lovely afternoon at the local fast food restaurant and I have to ask -- WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU PARENTS?????
http://www.babyuniversity.com/content/view/360/39/ The Real Reason We Don’t Eat Out
Someone failed to tell me that my social life was over once I had children. I don’t ask for much, just an occasional dinner out in which I don’t leave the restaurant in tears - or a trip to the grocery store without me wishing I could hop a plane for a tropical island, alone, and never return. That’s not much, is it? Apparently so!
