1. Baby Nails: dip your baby`s fingers in some baby powder when you want to cut his/her nails; the white layer will indicate precisely where you should cut the nails.
2. Cleaning bottoms Cheaply: if you go on holiday take a spray bottle, fill it with one part of baby shampoo and ten parts of water; use it to clean your baby`s bottom during nappy change; it is cheep and will leave a pleasant smell!
3. Cooling Porridge: if the porridge that you prepare for your baby is to hot, simply stir an ice cube in to quickly cool it off.
4. Bottle Cleaning: to get your baby`s bottle really clean pop a spoon of uncooked rice into it, fill it half-way with warm water and shake well; it will remove all dirt clinging on the inside.
5. Play Dough: make your own play dough for you child by mixing equal quantities of cake flour and salt with water, add some food colouring (store in sealed plastic containers or bags).
6. Secure Pillow: put your baby`s pillow under the fitted sheet to prevent it from slipping around during the night.
