If you’re in the market for a super-cool gift for a super-cool new or expecting dad, you’ll want to check out The GoodFather daddy T-shirts by yours truly! You’ll save over $5.00 on these thick, seven-color daddy t-shirts if you order before noon on Monday (October 19th) because the gift T-shirts are on sale and you’ll receive priority shipping at the cost of

regular snail mail. Our khaki GoodFather T-shirts have already sold out, so you better order the manly daddy T-shirt “he won’t refuse” in black or gray while his size is still available!

Have fun and stay healthy,

The day when a new parent could pacify the extended family with an occasional baby picture is far behind us. With the convenience of today’s inexpensive and portable video cameras come high definition expectations…of the baby video variety. New parents are too busy cleaning behinds and changing diapers to edit videos and search for cables, so what

are they to do? I recommend the Flip UltraHD and the Kodak Zi8 HD! Standard features include:

Flip UltraHD:

• MSRP $199.99, found at $179.99
• 2x digital zoom
• 8 GB
• Microphone (internal)
• Speaker (build-in)
• Windows and Mac compatible
• Rechargeable batteries included

Kodak Zi8 HD:

• MSRP $199.99, found at $179.95
• 4x digital zoom
• 128 MB internal memory, SD/SDHC card expansion slot
• Microphone (internal), also external jack
• Speaker (build-in)
• Windows and Mac compatible
• Rechargeable batteries included

I know we have quite a few parents out there using one of the video cameras listed above, so give us your review because their stats are almost identical and both are easy to use.  Click on the bubble to open the comments box below to share your review for the Kodak Zi8 HD or the Flip UltraHD.

As regular Dear Dr.MOZ readers already know, there’s a lot of really strange baby products out there. The bizarre baby gear is fun to look at, but when you need a unique baby shower gift for a friend or family member you probably won’t have time to build a mobile baby changing unit. Let’s face it…you don’t even have time to scan through the 10,000 baby blogs to find gifts, so where should you start? My recommendation, The Ultimate Baby Shower Gift Guide by CoolMomPicks!

You’ll find 100 “must-haves and totally-wants” from the queens of cool at CoolMomPicks.com, and each are cool mom approved so you know they’ll be the hit of the shower. I’m not giving away any secrets, but you just might find a daddy gift idea for the soon-to-be father in the The Ultimate Baby Shower Gift Guide as well. Oh…did I forget to mention that the guide is jam-packed with coupon codes?

See you there!

Your little one won’t be so easy to pin down for holiday pictures in a few years, so get those super-cute shots while you can! Today’s healthy dose of fun includes holiday gear for the under one crowd to help make the most of this year’s Christmas photo

ops:

• Santa Hat Peepee Teepees: Sure, a shot of Jr. wearing a Santa Hat Peepee Teepee will be a cute shot, but you’ll also find it to be a great negotiating tool in his teenage years! Only $11 at FlyingPeas.com.
• Christmas Baby Booties: It gets chilly this time of year and he’ll need a little more than a Peepee Teepee during the photo shoot. Why not deck out his little tootsies in a pair of luxurious Merino wool (non-itchy) baby booties by BurryBabies? They’re a steal at $14 at the Burry Babies Esty shop!
• Organic Cotton Handknit Elf Christmas Hat: Nothing says cute like an elf hat on a baby! These handmade stocking caps also come in children’s and adult’s sizes. If you’re on Santa’s “nice” list, Ecoknits will customize your hat with different colors and/or styles. Available at the Ecoknits Etsy shop for $34.
• The Reindeer Christmas Bib: This bib by UK’s urchin registers a full 10 on the cute-factor, but make sure you take pictures before Christmas dinner! Available for £12.71 at urchin.co.uk.

Dear Dr.MOZ,

We found your blog after purchasing a Stork Tools daddy diaper bag for a co-worker and thought you could help with the gift pack. We’re packing the dark green and slate Stork Tools daddy bag with diapers and wipes, and we still have $130 left. Do you have any diaper’ish ideas to add to the gift pack?

Thanks,
Hardly Work’n

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Hi Hardly Work’n,

I know just the “diaper’ish” thing to add to the pack. I recommend a diaper changing table by Ubi. Ubi’s changing tables are designed with hypoallergenic and anti-microbial upholstery, and the slick spring-loaded diaper dispensers are built right into the table ready for diaper duty! You’ll have five modern fabric designs to choose from along with two wood different base colors.

Best of all, Ubi changing tables will also fit within your diaper gift pack budget. You’ll find them sold for $119 at Babesta.com, or at their store at 66 W Broadway if you happen to live in NYC. Thanks for the question Hardly Work’n and give my best to your expecting parents!

Have fun and stay healthy,
Dr.MOZ

Skip Hop has a great looking baby log that I haven’t yet seen in person, so I thought I would give it a feature and see if anyone had a review to share. Their Day to Night Baby Log features a six month daily log in a canvas binder featuring a built-in “time capsule” with

clock and timer. The paper log includes a section for doctor visits, and the time capsule also acts as a cool light for use at night.

-> Reviews Needed: I’d love to hear your review if you’ve used a Day to Night Baby Log so don’t be shy! Just click on the comment bubble and a text box will magically appear for your review.

Have a great weekend everyone!
