MY CHUBBY SKINNY BABY

Since Madison's head is too big for the 'newborn' beanies, and her body is too small for the size 0 onesies she wears a combination of random items. I made the hat, and I love the shirts that the hospital let us take.

It is funny how chubby she looks in the pictures, but she is pretty long and skinny. She still wears the newborn size diapers. I learned this because I ran out of 'newborn' and tried the next size up. It says 8-14lbs. Since she is 8lbs 4oz I figured she could wear them. BAD IDEA! While lying on my lap I learned that the diapers were too big. I realized this because my pants were wet and so was baby, but of course the diaper was dry. I guess her legs are too skinny and the diaper is too wide.
I think that I dislike the car seat I purchased. It is frustrating when trying to clip it together. You must hold two pieces together and clip them at the same time into the buckle. It is easy to do if there isn't a squirming baby sitting in the seat.

I made sure to research everything safety, recall information, additional features such as weight requirements, and how heavy it is without a baby. I did good except now it is frustrating.

It came with padding and support. I see pictures of babies with those head guards to hold their head up and shoulder straps that parents add to the car seat. I was told these are dangerous. The warranty and safety ratings change when alterations occur, and adding additional items that were not used during the testing phase alter the outcome. How scary is that! I mean these parents think they are doing what is best for their child when they could be adding items that are dangerous to the safety of their child while in the car.
