Well, count me paranoid , but here goes. I suggest you add ear phones for your cell phone. Reason is ( according to my paranoia) you don't want to be making all those calls to hubby and other family members while your baby is only a afew inches from your phone. Radiation, you know.

I myself use earphones for lengthy calls. Whethger it is posychological or real, I don't know, but I feel my ears and side of my head getting hot meanwhile.

Just to be on the safe side.
And those headphones will help you make phone calls handfree.

In that case, I heartily approve of the alarm clock!

I was just suspicious that you might be a victim of the "nipple nazis" - Those nurses who insist the only right way to feed a baby is their way, on a rigid schedule, so many minutes on each side, etc. etc... They literally had my wife in tears when our first was born. I finally kicked them out of the room told her "Honey, just do whatever comes naturally."

I find that timer amusing in the way that any seasoned, nay, grizzled parent can. Ok, I suppose if it gives a new parent more confidence, it can't hurt too much. I just have a policy of letting sleeping healthy babies lie.

I would, however, advise that you keep a written log when baby is sick - you can't rely on your sleep deprived mind to keep track of things like when you last gave her medicine.

God bless you, Tom! The breast feeding nazis were a horrible experience of us. I ended up in tears and my hubby nearly kidnapped us both from the hopsital just to make it stop.

Great sugestion about keeping a log. It really helps to keep track in those early days before the baby gets on a schedule and you're conscious enough to remember it, especially if the baby has any issues and/or you're new parents. wink
