A. I would say between 6 - 7 mos is the best time. In the 3rd trimester you are more uncomfortable and the last thing you want to do is lug around bags and shop for hours. Go now while you can enjoy it!! Congrats!

What should I consider when shopping for a good home theatre system in the $300-$400 range?
Q. I am shopping for a good system just to watch movies with mostly. What specs are most important. What should I look for?

A. I would advise toward getting a component system. This would be a dvd player and receiver as separate component devices and not an "All in One" device. If you ever plan on getting a next gen DVD player such as Blu-ray you would want to have a surround sound receiver to hook this device up to. If you buy an all in one system with a built in DVD player you will not be able to hook up your cable box to it to get HBO or Stars movies in 5.1 surround sound as most of those devices have non or limited hook-ups. I have hooked up a Sony system for a neighbor of mine that was a 5 disc DVD player & HDMI 6.1 Receiver with speakers and powered subwoofer for that price range...maybe a little more. It worked out well because he had a Sony TV and the… [cont.]

How do you keep your infant from crying while shopping?
Q. I have an 11 month old infant who has a difficult time keeping entertained while I shop. The only way I can doing any shopping is if I know exactly what I want, purchase it, and then leave immediately. Whenever I need some time to browse, my 11 month old begins to fuss and eventually begins to cry. I've always fed and changed her before our outings so those reasons go out the window. Is there anyway that I can keep my daughter entertained better while I'm doing errands? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

A. Hi I totally feel your pain... First remember this don't worry about those childless people (or even parents themselves) who'll give you dirty looks if you baby so much as cries while you are trying to shop.. They'll get over it and ig they donn't eventually they'll go somewhere else. Some people seem to think they were perfect angels when they were young (yeah right!) Babies are going to cry... even if there is nothing wrong. Babies cry to relieve stress too. Not just when they are hungry or need to be changed or tired. Alot of time shopping in the morning not too long after the baby has gotten up and been fed. Not too close to nap time though : ) Sometime I bring cheerios and juice. Or I let them bring a toy... Once they get sick of… [cont.]
