I know a lot of the Moms-to-Be read this board -- so I thought it would be nice if all of us Already-Moms could share some of our tips for them to make thier lives a little easier when thier wee ones come along.

1. Make the crib/bed three times.

This way when Baby gets sick or has an accident in the middle of the night you just have to take off one layer and not re-make the bed.

2. Keep 2 outfits all packed up in ziplog bags -- complete with diaper, socks, bib, and an easy outfit like footy PJs or something like that. Mark it "EXTRA OUTFIT" and keep it in the top drawer of baby's dresser. This way if someone is babysitting and needs to change baby they have a quick change all ready to go and don't need to search for something. Also you can easily throw this in a diaper bag or beach bag and then later on the ziploc bag can be used to store the dirty clothes or dirty diaper.

3. And most important of all -- TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS! You are the momma and chances are you know what is best for your baby!
