here we go....
1. fill me up on booster car seats...
Booster carseats are for toddlers. You have to buy a convertible seat for Tia since she is 26 inches tall. From the baby bargains book, I found out that Graco confort sport is good and Britax Marathon/Roundabout is the best. I have heard from others that Cosco touriva is ok too but I don't about the ratings on them from consumer reports
2.What stage diapers are you all using ?
Pampers stage 2
3.Do you guys apply diaper ointment at every diaper change ?
Vaseline petroleum jelly every time
4.WRT Pads' query on potty trng.,how many actually on the field?
I am going to start once she sits up on her own. Would like to hear from experienced people though
5.any of you have the baby einstein videos/dvd/cd ?
I have their cd. But never plyed it to Diya. I have heard their DVDs are great too. But I am torn on it because I don't know if it is going to lead to ADHD too. What are your thoughts on it? If they shouldn't watch tv before 2, then can they watch this. But all the parents swear by it that Baby einstein videos keep their babies occupied and that they learnr a lot of good stuff from it.
6.for the travelling mom(raj/komal/reena)..how do you take the milk w/you..powder alag-pani alag?..thermos mein pani?...and how do you warm the milk when on-the -go?Any experience w/bottle warmers..I read that the Philips bottle warmer has a car charger too??
I have a thermos dreaming that Diya will take a bottle one day. I shouldn't blame her though because I nurse her at home all the time and then I can't expect her to take a bottle all of a sudden na.
7.raj..are u seriously travellling to mumbai???????
8.what r ur kiddos' teething signs & what r u all doing for it??Tia drools like a leaky faucet & chews EVERYTHING...worse than the Lab pup my brother had...
Diya was extra fussy like she was in pain and she wanted to chew on something all the time. She was not happy with anything else at that time. Even now she wants to chew on something but she can be distracted now with other things.

Sush, u mentioned about linkadoos and that Tia loves it. I have heard about a brand linkadoos. What are you talking about? I saw Tia's pics. She is a cutie. She looks like a very good girl and pretty alert too. You look great too!(I remember you complaining about not losinng weight. U certainly don't look like you have to lose weight)
