Guest Blog Alert! Diaperpedia App


Stuff happens.  As a parent, it's sure to have happened to you.  It happened to us on Christmas Eve.  We were in a local consignment store searching for a baby carrier to make it easier to get out of the house, when our one month old son had a diaper blowout.  With no changing table for customer use, the store owner kindly offered for us to change the diaper on one of the bassinets that was for sale (we put down a large waterproof pad).  I love this store, but it's tiny and packed with merchandise, so I was jittery the entire time, sure that my son would pee at any moment (as he loved to do when we took off his diaper) and we'd need to purchase a whole lot more than a baby carrier.  Thankfully we were able to avoid changing our baby on the floor and get a clean diaper back on him without incident.

 Little did we know, however, the coffee shop across the street had a baby changing table where we could have changed our baby's diaper.  Whether it be new parent fatigue or just plain old sleep deprivation, parents have an armful in their hands and on their mind.  Why, oh why wasn't there an easier way to handle this expected event? This question led to the creation of Diaperpedia.

Diaperpedia is a free app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch that helps parents find the nearest baby changing table.  Locations can be added or edited with the touch of a button, making it easy to add your favorite weekend brunch hangout or update a spot that is no longer in service. Since not all changing tables are equal, parents can also add a photo, leave reviews and rate changing table locations based on cleanliness, working condition, safety, and accessibility.
 
 
If you’re in search of a changing table, you’re obviously busy, but the more diaper changing parents, nannies and caretakers add and update changing table location information, the more useful it will be for everyone, so Diaperpedia has added the bonus incentive of a monthly contest.  Every new location added counts as an entry.  The Diaperpedia user who adds the most new changing table locations each month wins a $50 gift card and two randomly selected entrants each receive a $25 gift card.  Use the gift card to buy diapers, pay for diaper service, or forget diapering and take a rare moment to splurge on yourself.

 We all know that changing tables are out there, but they’re hidden away behind bathroom doors and often they're not where we think they are (that changing-tableless “family friendly” restaurant we like to frequent or the newly remodeled gas station on the way to work with all the bells and whistles…except for the baby changing table).  Diaperpedia is a way to change this game of hide and go seek.
 
 
We believe satisfaction, many times, boils down to the little things in life - let Diaperpedia help you find them.

Summer is here and so are all the things that come with it! Swim lessons, t-ball, summer camps, vacations, birthday parties, family reunions, a house full of strange kids, and the list go on! Summer is an exciting time but it doesn't come without a price.  During the school year while the kiddos are away we as mothers work whether at home or for a company. Summer vacation tends to upset our regular schedule by having to adjust our duties in accordance with our children. Here are a few summer survival tips that have worked for me and other moms I know: Get prepared! Plan ahead and be prepared for summer vacation have an organized schedule of activities for your kiddos to do, in order to keep them busy and limiting interruptions.

And Baby Makes 3

I think back to when my 5 year old was first born. I must say it was truly a special time, saturated with some new experience daily. I can recall the very first night of her arrival; she slept through the entire night! I remember thinking, "Wow this is going to be a breeze!” Yeah, well definitely not the case. The next night...and every night thereafter, my sleep had become more like random spurts of unconsciousness. My husband (then boyfriend) and I were so sleep deprived that we envied the rest of the world, knowing they were nestled snuggly in their beds; while we took turns changing diapers and feeding our newborn. Truth be told, I even resented my husband at times as I would look over and see him sleeping so soundly! My husband and I have this unspoken game (I like to call it “sleep roulette”) in which we pretend to be in such a deep sleep, that we do not hear our daughter’s crying. That way, the other parent will get up and change a diaper, make a bottle, or give a glass o...
