No matter if you are a new mom, aunt, grandma, or have just been around a baby, I'm sure you have an opinion as to what you think is the best or worst product ever made! I am looking for moms of ALL ages too. I think it will be really fun to see what the moms 50, 60 even 70 years ago couldn't live without and what you think about products today vs. products then. being a new mom the products that I think I couldn't live without would be binkis, disposable diapers, WASHING machines!! ( I know the last one isn't REALLY a baby product but....) I could do with out..Diaper Genies, and baby cologne is just the silliest invention I think that I have EVER seen!! Stuff I really like...Bumbo seat, fisher price hedgehog (so cute)! I am sure that there are many more but I just can't think right now!!

Best- love my cloth diapers, sling to carry my babies, and digital cameras to take oodles of pictures of the babies. Worst-Diaper genie, I had one with my first daughter (before I started cloth diapering) and I hated the thing.

Ok, how the heck do you do the whole cloth diaper thing?? I admire you for it! I also agree about the digital camera. I can't believe how many pics I have taken with mine since the baby got here (in August). Did you ever try the "diaper champ" it is awesome!! What kind of sling do you use?

Cloth diapers are so much easier than they used to be. They also come in great colors and patterns. Check out naturalbabies.com to see some of the new types there are. And washing them really isn't a big deal. As far as my sling, I have several that I made, a flannel one, silk one, and a mesh one. I also have a fleece pouch I love to use.

I made my slings too! I made one similar to a Maya sling and another similar to a Hotsling!! I also found a site WWW.WEARYOURBABY.COM that teaches you how to "tie" your baby onto you in many different ways using a few yard long peice of fabric!! It is a really fun site!!
