Tangible:

SOPHIE the Giraffe ,Playtex Ventaire Bottles, diapers, etc..

intangible:

...realizing that so many other moms are going through the exact same thing, or went through it, and it is so nice to hear their experience, whenever you need to...

and knowing that someone is always here to help!

Re: Best Advice or Recommendations you got on LIF

WAY too many parenting/pregnancy tips/pieces of advice/BTDT to remember or list....but I will say that it was on LIF that I learned about DSLRs and how to take better pictures.

My favorites were:

Having baby sleep on the changing table portion of the pack n play (that's how we eventually got him into his crib at 4 weeks old!)
