Shopping for Your New Arrival
Ten essentials you might not think of
New kid in town or expecting one soon? If so, you’ve probably received advice from everyone and their ayi about what you need to buy for your new baby. Even so, there’s a good chance your shopping list might not include some of the most essential items. Here’s a list of ten less-than-obvious things we could not have done without during our first couple of weeks of Beijing parenting. All products listed below, aside from the Nolo sling and the IQ Air, are available from both Leyou and Lijiababy.
Infrared Ear Thermometer
Leave the anal probes to bad science fiction stories about alien abductions. While more expensive and a bit less accurate than the up-the-bum types, the infrared variety gives you a temperature reading instantly with a minimum of fuss.
