I remember when I was pregnant for the first time I was extremely excited and giddy but also totally confused. The confusion part laid mostly on the fact that I had no idea what I needed to get in order to\u00a0care for my baby. Sure, I knew we needed a stroller, but which one? And what about baby carriers? Which type and brand is best? Same for car seats! There were too many options and I knew zilch about any of it. We were the first of our friends to have a child, so I didn’t have anyone that I could speak with about these choices. I also knew that a lot has changed since my parent’s generation around safety and food\u00a0recommendations and product choices. I knew it would be best to go right to the source and get advice from the experts themselves.<\/p>\n

That’s why my husband and I booted it to The BabyTime Show<\/a><\/strong> to learn as much as we could. We wanted to be smart consumers and somewhat prepared (because truly, nothing can really prepare you, but having the right gear and tools can HELP). It was an eye opening experience, but in a good way. I remember sticking around one of the stroller vendors for probably close to one hour to learn how to open and fold the stroller. At the time it seemed like rocket science. Now, it’s second nature.<\/p>\n

The show provided us with tons of information and we really felt like we walked away with some great knowledge about baby products and gear and parenting essentials. A great brand that can help you get set up with baby essentials like bottles, pacifiers, feeding and baby proofing your home is Munchkin Baby Canada<\/a><\/strong>. Their products were a staple in our house when my boys were infants.<\/p>\n
