Inventions

So, in trying to manage life with an infant, I've come up with some inventions that would be pretty handy. These are just a couple - I've got more but have to try to remember them! If anyone decides to capitalize on any of these, please make sure I get a cut.

Roomba Rumbler - This is an infant safety seat attached to a roomba vacuum cleaner. Particularly helpful for colicky babies, you can strap them into the seat and the vibration and sound of the Roomba will help to calm them.

Burp cloth holder - attach one side of velcro to your shirt (or nursing bra strap, or belt/apron) and the other side of velcro to a burp cloth. That way you can just attach the cloth to your clothes rather than set it down each time you go to change diapers. Keeps you from having to get up and search for it when you need it most. Also keeps the burp cloth from falling onto baby when you lay him down.

Mommy apron - similar to a tool belt - keeps all your necessities handy. Will hold the tv remote, cell phone, cordless phone, burp cloth (see idea above) so you don't have to try to reach for any of them while you are nursing. Also keeps them handy so you don't set them down and have to search for them later.
