Is It EVER Okay to Let your Newborn Cry?
Oh and Kevin sleeping on the floor away
from us. His snoring is horrible AND the bed isn't big enough for me, Morgan, Charlie (my chihuahua) and Kevin. Oh good, Charlie is still sleeping with you! Yay, so things are going ok for the dog and baby. Lol.......I hate to say it, my husband snores too, and so really, he'd be the first one I'd kick out of the bed, between him and the baby and the cat. I already kicked him out a few weeks ago actually, so it's just me, the cat, and my stomach (an entity all on it's own!) in the queensize bed. I've been wondering if a good investment would be to get one of the Arm's Reach cosleepers-- but then, I am afraid of waking my husband up every 1-2 hours when the baby cries or is hungry since he has a long drive for work. ...how will it work with us all in the same room? I doubt my cat will hang around anyway...I am afraid it will end up being my husband and cat in the guestroom, me and the bay in the main bedroom. That would work but doesn't feel right... Well, the bassinett is right next to the bed and Morgan won't sleep in it. She sleeps IN bed with me holding her or once she falls deeply to sleep in between the arc of the Boppy Pillow. The Arms Reach would have been a waste of money for us (I think)...but then again, I could keep it next to me and when she falls deeply asleep I could put her in it...Hmm.....well, if she can sleep in the bed it will save a bit of money. By the way, during the nite you will find that your baby may not cry but sort of wake up and coo or make a few sounds so you won't disturb your husband's sleep with crying (unless your baby has other issues). I find Morgan doesn't cry when we co-sleep as much as she does during the day. ~Carol Ann |

Yes. Isabella makes a sound that is sort of like a snort/grunt combination. :-) -- Brigitte aa #2145 http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/j/joshuaandkaterina/ http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/i/isabellazora/ "Readers are plentiful; thinkers are rare." ~ Harriet Martineau |

Cat Hair (was Is It EVER Okay to Let your Newborn Cry?)
"Deirdre" wrote And yes, the cat will co-op the sleeper when the baby's not in it. Surrender yourself to that now. LOL How do you keep the cat hair out though? That is the only problem I have with my precious sweet kitty sniffing around the new baby stuff, is that she gets hair everywhere. I have nightmares about hair getting into a baby's mouth. Plu her hair is hard to get up, she's white and it takes much more than just vacuum and washing laundry...we have to tape off our clothes. Lint rollers are not economical and we use packing tape that works so much better and is cheap.....I vacuum as much as possible, but even closing the nursery door from day 1, our PackNPlay and bouncy seats still fall victim. |

A damo cloth diaper will pick up lots of cat hair. I have 3 cats and a dog, so I know. |

About once a year Sam's carries a 5 pack of Jumbo 3M lint rollers (one jumbo roll lasts FOREVER) and that time of year is NOW. Last year I bought 2 of the 5 packs and they lasted almost a whole year -- the other day I was there and bought 5-5 packs for under $30. You need to go and get some! We have 2 dogs & 2 cats and they're awesome, especially for that price. I have no idea why they have them so rarely but I know that I looked for them every time I went after the first time I got them and a guy that works there said that they get them only about once a year.

I keep one of those masking-tape lint rollers nearby, and give it a quick once over. It does the trick in about 10 seconds. Packing tape wrapped around a hand works just as well too. If you're stateside, visit Petsmart. You can get a pack of the rollers (6 rolls + 2 rollers) for about $15. Good bargain, and they'll last quite a while. FWIW, I'm trying not to be too sugical about the hair. We've got two cats & a dog, so there's no place in the house that's immune from it. My concern is just in making sure it doesn't get in his face/eyes. I wouldn't worry too much about whether or not it gets in the mouth. It won't hurt the babe. |

I have nightmares about hair getting into a baby's mouth. Don't worry; it will get there regardless when the baby learns to pick things up. DS went around the house for a few days picking up *individual cat hairs* and taste-testing them right after he developed a good pincer grip. -- C, mama to seventeen month old nursling |
