* LOVE THAT MEDICINE...NOT...to get infants to
   take medicine - put it in a nipple just before
   they eat - a hungry baby will take it willingly
   before they realize that you 'tricked' them!!
 

* SHAMPOO TEARS? - put Vaseline on child's
  eyebrows before you wash their hair - shampoo
  and suds will roll off sides not eyes!!
 

* EASY CLEAN PLACEMATS - use hand towel or tea
  towel for child's placemat spills soak up quick
  and can just toss in washer!
 

* BANDAID REMOVAL - put baby oil on cotton and
  wipe it all along bandaid - will soften to slip off!
 

* BABY BOTTLES FRESH - use a paste of water and
  baking soda to scrub with bottle brush - clean
  and rinse well - will deodorize and keep them
  fresh!
 

* BABY WASH TIME - use a large plastic squeeze
   bottle filled with water to rinse off baby - gets
   hard to reach areas too!!
 

* BOTTLES IN FRIDGE - use an old cardboard pop
  or beer carton - the six pack type - keeps
  baby bottles upright in fridge!
 

* NO SLIP SOCKS - paint design or childs name on
  sole of socks with dimensional fabric paint - the
  kind that puffs!
 

* PUZZLES - to keep puzzles organized - you can
  colour code them - put dot of colour on back of
  each piece and on corresponding box!
 

* TRAVELLING?? - Keep a dish soap bottle filled
  with water and paper towels in car - will always
  be able to wash sticky hands!!
 

* GUM IN HAIR - Apply ice to gum til hardened,
   add peanut butter and rub out!
 

* CRAYON ON WALLS!? - Scrub with baby wipe!

* MATRESS SAVER! - Purchase an inexpensive shower curtain and place over matress under matress cover - saves stains on the matress and also makes middle of the night sheet changing less 'eventful'!
