Do you rate and review the toys and such that you buy for your baby?

Q. My daughter recieved this awesome toy for her birthday and she loved it. She picked up how to play with it right away. In all the reviews I read online about it.. it said it was a waste of money because baby never got intrested. So i decided to rate the toy since there was nothing positive about it on there. I think i'm going to do it with most of her toys. Haha.

Anyway, Have you or do you rate and review your babys toys and such?


Answer
I do- especially if they are good! I want other parents to know the same.

It's funny you mentioned that though- I wrote a review after reading a review on our baby's infant bouncy seat. It's a Baby Einstein...and everyone said that after a time, the music and lights no longer played. We had that problem too and discovered it was because it was not pushed in all the way- and I mean all the way. So, that's what started me with writing a review. I also wrote a review for our SUV recently- because I love it. It's almost 1 now and it's been awesome in any kind of weather...so I guess I believe in spreading the word.

Any suggestions for quality infant care programs in Austin, Texas?

We live in south Austin and are expecting our first child in October. We both work and are looking for a high quality infant care program. Does anyone have any suggestions or experiences with different types of Licensed infant care in Austin, TX? I have been to Austin CitySearch and I there are many conflicting "reviews" about many of the infant programs. We don't make alot of money, but would pay for a high quality program for our infant...


Answer
Austin is a beautiful city - you are fortunate to live there. Congratulations. Parenthood is the most amazing experience you will ever have. Have you considered being stay at home parents? What if you used this time before the baby comes to figure out how to cut your expenses to the bone & live on one income? As you have found, there are no good infant care programs in Austin. Think about the folks who work in day care centers. Young, mostly uneducated ( HS diploma, perhaps) with little to no parenting experience. Total strangers to you & your baby. Your child wants to spend his/her day with those who are nurturing & loving - not someone who is making little more than minimum wage. I left my job to stay home & care for my son. I learned to do everything differently in terms of how I made our dollars stretch. Losing $25.00 an hour is a huge hit to the wallet. Has it been worth it? Absolutely! I can sacrifice a lot so I can stay at home with my son & he can stay in his home with his bed, his toys, lunch on his schedule, etc. Go to your library & borrow a book - "The Irreducible Needs of Children" Hopefully this will help you adjust your priorities & make the best decision for you child. Good luck . The highest quality infant care in Austin is in your home.
