A:
Many parents start potty training as early as 18 months. If your daughter starts crouching down and appears to be uncomfortable in her dirty diaper, these are signs that she is ready. You’ll want to start with a basic potty seat that sits on the floor so she isn’t overwhelmed at first. Plus, this will be her very own potty. Our favorite is the Baby Bjorn Potty Chair (http://www.giggle.com/p/12871/Baby-Bjorn-Potty-Chair.aspx?s=1&keyword=bjorn) since it has rubber grips on the bottom and won’t slide all over. Pair it with Time To Pee (http://www.giggle.com/p/12871/Baby-Bjorn-Potty-Chair.aspx?s=1&keyword=bjorn) and she’ll be ready in no time. Good luck, and if you need anything else, feel free to ask!

A:
There are a couple of great options: The Primo infant bath seat is really simple and great for first-time parents. It has suction cups on the bottom for stability, and contours to the baby's body for a secure fit. Another great choice is the Washpod. It sits like a bucket (vertical rather than horizontal) and safely holds your baby in an upright position, which pediatricians say is one of the best ways to bathe your baby. Another great plus? It requires less water, so it's also eco-friendly.

A:
All sunscreen companies say the baby must be at least 6 months of age before you start using sunscreen. (They actually don't test sunscreen on babies younger than that.) Consult with your pediatrician if you'd like to start using it earlier. There are lots of different products now that help you get it on safely; check out our sunscreen wipes!
