Make bookmarks out of old pictures. Place contact paper over both sides. Put a hold punch in the top and knot a piece of ribbon through the hole. Use cotton squares to clean your newborn baby's bottom for the first month or so.
Wipes are usually too harsh on baby's new skin.
Keep a water bottle on the changing table. Wet a few cotton squares at each changing and dispose of them into the dirty diaper. Keep a basket in your kitchen or someplace handy for you but out of your children's sight. Fill the basket with trinkets e.g. prizes from Happy Meals, gifts in birthday bags, stickers etc. When you are on the phone, going for a long ride in the car or to a doctor's office, pull out a couple items to entertain your child.
