ITA. Pack n' play. It's proven and sturdy. Mine stopped going in it at 18 months though. Don't rely on hotels - they always mess stuff up. You can also put a mattress on the floor and have them sleep there. We do this or put DD in our bed when we travel. She gets scared. [ Reply | More

call up one of the big agencies like Ford, Willhemena (sp?) etc and ask them. They will probably ask you to send pics in with contact info. They will contact you about open castings and also when your dc was requested for a casting. Unless you are connected in the industry somehow, you probably won't get much (unless your dc can really handle being photographed by strangers at inconvenient times) [ Reply | More

You can find them in publications like the Ross Report. Do not give anyone money unless it's a percentage between 10-25% of the the work they get for you. BTW - huge pain in the butt - rare to get much return especially for print work which is what babies do [ Reply | More

[ - ] For any moms who are struggling with going the route of letting their baby cio.. i just have to say it has totally changed napping and night bedtime.. my little guy is 8 mons and I resisted... but I have to say i am a convert. Napping was 45 mins of rocking, soothing, in and out... then 45 mins of sleep. He would be in tears as soon as i put him down.. now he happily curles up and goes to sleep. 80% of the time I dont hear a peep from him, other times he talks to himself for a little while.. But I think CIO is only part, setting a good nap schedule and sticking to it also was a big part... 7 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

A baby's only way to communicate is to cry. If you ignore the cry, you are ignoring your baby's needs. I guess I don't understand how you can let a little baby who is totally dependant on you cry and cry until they can't cry anymore. [ Reply | More
