How much bleach do you use to clean an infant bathtub?

Q. I want to get the infant tub super clean, but I've never used bleach before and have no clue how much to use. I know I'm supposed to dilute it in water, but what kind of bleach/water ratio do I need? Is bleach even safe? I saw a commercial for Clorox that said it's safe to use on baby toys and bottles, so I went ahead and bought some. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

A. I've never trusted bleach on my babies items, I've always been too paranoid that I wouldn't rinse it off well enough. I use the Clorox Everywhere spray. You can spray it & it's safe without rinsing it with water. I absolutely love it, and it cleans everything really well.


When do you need toys for the baby?
Q. Hi. I'm 33 weeks along with my first, and while picking up some stuff at the store today, it occurred to me- when do you need baby toys? I read in the nursing book that, for the first couple months, the baby can only see a couple feet away... I mean, there are little hanging toys on the "infant swing" we've got, and a mobile for the crib. What else do I need, and when? Thank you so much!

A. "When do you need toys for the baby?"

Never? LOL. Just kidding, but really - my 2-year-old still finds non-toy items more fascinating than actual toys, even though she has loads and loads of stuff to play with. Not something I would invest in heavily. Check out garage sales and second-hand stores for very gently used items, and don't spend a lot if you buy things brand new. It is just not worth it. When my oldest daughter was 9 or 10 months old her favorite thing ever was this silly plastic tube my mom had lying around - it held a large spool of thread she used for one of her many sewing machines (she's a seamstress). She wouldn't put it down whenever we would visit.

Best of luck!


Where can I find a doll with hair and eyes that open and close?
Q. Not the Barbie type and not an infant/baby doll type. The old fashioned type a little girl can play mommy with and put "little girl" type clothes and shoes and socks on. Do they still even make them? I don't care if it is caucasian or not.

A. Pullip dolls. They are very cute and can open and close their eyes and can wink. If u live in the u.s, I recomend buying from www.pullipstyle.com. They have reasonable prices and are very trusted. Pullip doll prices can range from $80-$2000 if u get a really rare one. Most are about $90 or $100. These prices are for the full sized doll (12 inch). There are also little pullips which are 4.5 inch and taeyangs (dunno if that is correctly spelled), which are the male version of pullips and dal, pullip's younger sister. Here are some pics:
