I am a mother of a 7
Bringing immense joy to parents and families, babies are cute little angels, innocent cherubs who steal our affection, and little consumers who produced a multimillion dollar industry selling a variety of products for these young shoppers. Starting from birth, parents are bombarded with a variety of baby products available for purchase in these retail divisions: apparel (clothing and footwear), feeding accessories (bottles, nipple, sterilizers and pacifiers), disposable diapers and wipes, furniture (crib, high-chair, and carriages). I am a mother of a 7-year old and I can tell you that children are all your spending money as they really need an assortment of products so you can take care of them properly and efficiently. Although, I have to admit that some of the products I bought and provided for my son were not really needed, but I bought it because it looked adorable, cute and would bring joy to my son. Also, there are products that are very helpful and which I consider a necessity such as the pacifier which are also known as a “dummy” or a “soother”, because as the name suggest, it soothes babies and make their crying stop, as an artificial alternative to thumb-sucking. My son went through the period of thumb-sucking like any other normal child, and I bought him dozens of pacifiers as an alternative, because I worry that his thumb will get disfigured with all that sucking. I made sure that ready pacifiers are scattered around the house because there were a lot of droppings and dirty pacifiers as my son went around his business of not holding still, and he loves his pacifier. An answer to this concern is this magic invention called a pacifier holder which has a clip that you can clip on your baby’s clothes while connected to the pacifier.
