[quote author=xwebyna][/quote]From my own experience with android laptops, they are not worth the buy. They can be cute and nice at first then u find out how rigid the structure is. Though I must admit, it opens multimedia files very fast and streaming of videos are good if u are browsing using wifi. The batteries drain fast and the charger is not strong. But I will be checking out a 10 inch netbook from a reliable supplier to check out the worth. When I get my order I will let you know what's up. |
Today, we are going to look at Baby Products That Are a Waste of Money. Sure, you need a lot of stuff when you have a baby but there’s also a lot of stuff you DON’T need. Sometimes When I see my kid's toys continue to take over the entire house, I find myself wanting to unload as much as I can. So in the spirit of paring down, saving money and stopping the madness, here’s a list of baby items you can do without. 1. Bottle sanitizer –Save yourself some kitchen counter space and toss the bottle pieces into a pot of boiling water or the dishwasher. 2. . Bottle warmer – If you’re willing to wait a few extra minutes (the bottle warmer is supposed to be faster), that same pot of boiling water can be used to warm your baby’s milk. 3. Wipe warmer – Save the electricity and space you’ll need to use this contraption by holding the wipes in your hands for a few seconds instead. 4. Baby powder – It smells great but as far as I can tell, it serves no purpose. Plus the talc in the powders can be dangerous if inhaled. 5. Diaper caddy –I’m not the most organized person which could explain why I have no use for this. When I need to change my daughter anyplace other than her changing table, I just grab what I need. If I’m going out, I already have everything in the diaper bag. 6. Receiving blankets –They’re too big to be used as burp cloths and too small to swaddle my baby. I already have blankets and changing pads so I’m not sure what to do with these except stack them in m daughter's dresser. 7. Hand mittens – I needed these because my son scratched his face but they never stayed on for more than 30 seconds. The better alternative: Long sleeve shirts (like the ones your baby wears in the hospital) with sleeves that fold over your baby’s hands. 8. Baby food processor – If you already have a food processor, you really don’t need another one just for your baby. |

1. Think thin layers. Keep your baby warm, cozy and safe, but not overheated. Choose breathable fabrics that are thin and easy to layer. Puffy jackets and bulky suits are uncomfortable, restrict movement. Instead, choose a thin but warm fleece jacket or suit. 2. Moisturize baby’s skin. Cold weather dries out soft baby skin quickly, and so may the daily use of soaps and shampoos in the winter. If you bathe your baby every day, skip the soap and shampoo a few times a week, and add some pure Jojoba Oil to the bathwater. After bathing, use a hypoallergenic moisturizer to seal in moisture and keep that skin baby-soft. The shea butter popularly called ori works wonders in terms of locking moisture in baby skin 3. Humidify at night. As soon as the weather gets cold, the heat goes on inside and creates a too-dry atmosphere for babies and toddlers. Breathing dry air at night makes the mucus membranes of the nose and mouth dry out, creating inflammation and congestion. Dry air also makes dry itchy skin or eczema worse. Babies will wake more at night if they are congested, thirsty or have dry itchy skin. Invest in a cool mist humidifier and run it at night in the room where your baby sleeps. A better night’s sleep for all means more energy for daytime outings! For those who cannot buy a humidifier, you can boil wate in a round open pot. The evaporation of the water will humidify the room. But a humidifier still works good 4. Protect against wind. The windier it is outside, the colder it feels, and the faster a little body gets chilly. Protect your baby from wind, rain. 5. Wear the baby! Two bodies together are warmer than one. Your physical activity will keep your baby warm when you’re cuddled together. Dress yourself and your baby in thin layers, then put on your baby and carrier. Try wearing your coat over the both of you – having an over-sized jacket will help! For safety’s sake, you should always be able to see your baby’s face to ensure plenty of air flow. It also helps a lot to use wrappers to wear our babies. 6. Top if off with a baby hat or what so many call baby cap . When it’s cold, an infant or toddler can get chilled quickly with an uncovered head due to lots of blood-flow near the surface of the scalp with no natural insulation (fat). Use lightweight cotton caps when it’s cool indoors or pleasant fall weather, and add a warmer fleece hat for cool windy days outdoors. Three hat hints: 1. Pick a hat with a strap that fastens under the chin so it will stay on longer. 2. Choose a hat that fits now. Don’t buy one that’s too big. 3. Remove the hat in the car. Your baby will get too warm, and if it slips down over your young baby’s face |
Oops. That's 5 tips. Okay, Let's see more tips on how to keep our babies warm. |
4. If you are tempted by expensive clothing for. your baby, consider whether it is good value for money. Trousers and practical dresses may be worn enough to justify the outlay, but avoid paying top price for an outfit for special occasions – it might only get one airing. 5. For some real bargains, go along to new sales and secondhand babywear shops. Babies grow very quickly and favorite clothes are often outgrown long before they’re worn out. You can benefit from what other people have had to throw out; some items may still carry the original shop tag, indicating that they’ve never been worn. |
3. Be selective when buying up-market babywear. There’s little point in paying top price for vests, plain tops or tights, for example – just mix in cheaper labels with some branded goods and you’ll give the impression of full designer wear but pay a fraction of the cost. This is what I advise my customers who love to buy popular brands baby clothes, like carters, george, next, e.t.c. You can buy some carters or what my people at home will call uk, Us and mix with some china, thailand branded clothing or cheap clothing of good quality. And remember, babies grow quickly. She’ll come home tiny, but newborn sizes won’t fit for long. Save the good part of your budget for 0-3 month clothing and up. (Besides, once you’re out and about more, you’ll actually be able to show off her cute outfits.) Resist the urge to buy too much clothing in advance, because you’ll have a better idea of the sizes and styles that work best for you once baby comes. |
2. When sales shopping, get clothes for the coming months. If your child is 9 months old in January, buy clothes for 18–24 months in anticipation of the following cold season. |
Tip 1. Always choose one size ahead of your baby’s actual age. Sizes can be on the small side and babies grow quickly. Most 6-month-old babies can wear clothes size 9–12 months, 1-year-olds wear size 2 and so on. But do take account of the season – lightweight summer clothes for hot times are no use in cold, rainy season, and vice versa |
Many people enjoy giving baby clothes as presents, but they usually buy the small sizes that won’t fit for long. Take advantage of this by not buying too many before your baby is born, then buy wisely to get the best value for money. |
Use these six guidelines when purchasing clothes for babies to avoid being left with expensive garments your little one wore just once. It happened to me. Once bitten twice shy. |
A lot of people has been asking me to post tips on how to buy baby clothes. |
During this cold season, it's your job to make sure your baby stays warm and dry. But if you're like most new moms, dealing with a squirmy baby in a bulky jacket, blankets that fall off, here are tips and that make it easy to keep your baby healthy and comfortable, whether you're going out or tucking your child in for the night. How can I keep my baby warm at night without piling on blankets? You're right not to cover your baby with bedding when you put him to sleep. In fact, to reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), it is recommended that you put your baby to sleep on his back without any pillows or coverings at all. It's a good idea not to overheat the room. So keeping your baby warm — but not too warm — can be a little tricky. What helps: A cozy sleep environment. Choose a warm flannel fitted sheet for your baby's bed (and keep plenty of extras on hand for changes, too). Soft one-piece footed sleepers help your baby stay warm all night by keeping him toasty from head to toe. For an extra layer, put a bodysuit or undershirt underneath the sleeper. A terrific alternative to a blanket is a sack or wearable blanket that zips up the front and can be worn over a sleeper. These are sleeveless, so your baby can still move his arms around while the rest of his body stays covered. Tip: You can warm a cold bed with a hot water bottle, a heating pad, or a stove/electric iron. Be sure to remove it before putting your child down to sleep. |
Cold weather can be difficult to deal with when you have a baby. Whether you're inside the house or outside, you want to be sure that your baby is cozy but not overheated. This is important because someone close to me almost lost her nine month old daughter last week due to cold and pneumonia. Let's have some tips on you keep your baby warm and content, no matter where you go this season. |

Like seriously! I have read comments and the posts of everyone in this thread and I will like to say that you might not have the right view of the message this person was trying to pass across. The prices are actually crashing because of the presence of these clones. I was in spain recently only to find that most people use the clones. Yes the specs above are that of the chinese clone but it is in circulation in various parts of the world. It is even been sold in ebay item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=151010481824 item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=271205381923 So have full knowledge of stuff before u criticize others. If you have got so much money to get the original good for you. If he was able to part with some money to enjoy the same experience like you are enjoying with a replica. Good for him. The replica work well has the original but the fact that it is a replica can't be hidden. Been neutral here |
