Snd bucket is enough. And, btw, most of us never listen to those home made CDs. Just the truth. Figured I'd be honest with you since it db's first birthday. If you don't want buckets, get the sand molding "kits" with shapes. Or get one great beach shovel (the bigger ones you get at the five and ten in town) and wrap a bow around each one. Works for all age kids and they break and get lost through out the summer. [ Reply | More

I never purchased or wore nursing shirts. At home, I hung out in my bra and out and about I just bought shirts that fit at the time. If a button down, it is easy to unbutton from the bottom up if you are nursing in public, Most of the time I just wore tees and pulled them up. [ Reply | More

big waste of money. First, wear skirts and tops not dresses. Second, any thing that fits and can be lifted up is a nursing shirt. I wore nice fitted t's/tanks/camis and a blouse or oxford or light weight hoodie layered over top that I could pull over my breast (and baby'e head if I was nursing in a very public place. A light weight blanket works just as well if you are in a park or play ground or somewhere more casual. [ Reply | More

How much is a dentist visit? for a kid? I'd think no more than $150? If money is that tight, you may want to wait it out. My guess is the tooth will just fall out. NYU has a free dental clinic - call Monday and see if they take kids. [ Reply | More
