With the prospect of my husband going back to work and being home all day with an 18 month old and a newborn, I needed fresh, exciting toys every day of the week to keep the
toddler busy while I nursed baby, diapered baby,
changed baby's
outfit for the fourth time in a day, etc. (Meanwhile I kept baby busy, happy and learning during her awake times with activities from my infant play book, Begin With A Blanket)
Maybe your
toddler's father dresses her in mismatched
outfits, or his method for feeding her is less - than - efficient, or the diaper he put on her gets leaky 20 minutes later and you have to
change it again.
