Baby 411
Getting Around the City
• I can’t seem to get my car seat fitted right. Can anyone help me?
• What’s a good stroller for... hauling up and down subway steps? ...folding up quickly? ...rolling over uneven sidewalks?
• Do I have to lug around a car seat for every taxi or car-service trip I take?
• What’s my best bet for finding a changing station when I’m out and about?
Child Care
• Will any day care take babies under one year old? If so, how do I find them?
• I need to hire a nanny, but I’m completely in the dark about who to hire, what to pay, everything! What do other parents do?
• What’s the difference between a baby nurse and a postpartum doula?
Shopping
• Where can I find clothes that look like Petit Bateau but cost as little as Circo?
• Is it safe to stock up on baby stuff at stoop sales?
• My baby’s room is so blah; can’t I do better than teddy-bear wallpaper?
• My $700 stroller just broke. Now what? • The crib and stroller alone may empty my bank account. How much will the essentials cost me?
• My baby sleeps in a space the size of a walk-in closet; I want to make up for that with the fanciest, trendiest crib I can buy. Which way should I go?
• I want my baby to have a good sense of self. How can I get his name on everything he owns?
Feeding & Taking Care
• How can I make sure I’m not buying expired, black-market formula at my local bodega?
• My baby’s too young to sit in a high chair. Are there any restaurants I can take him to?
• What does a lactation consultant do? Do I need one?
• How do I find a good pediatrician?
• Are there any cloth-diaper services in New York?
• I know I need a massage, but does my baby?
• What’s the cheapest one-stop shop for diapers, wipes, and formula?
• It’s never too early to start learning; what kinds of classes can my erudite infant attend?
Staying Sane
• I’m a brand-new stay-at-home dad. Where can I go without feeling like an outsider?
• How can I keep from getting mind-numbingly bored during maternity leave?
• Where can I shed the baby fat (with my baby in tow)?
• I have twins and I feel like I’m losing my mind. Where can I find other parents of multiples?
Other Concerns
• Who can take awesome pictures of my gorgeous baby?
• No matter how I rearrange my nursery, it just doesn’t feel right. Is my feng shui off?
