[quote=Anonymous]Depending on the age of the baby, you could make some homemade baby food. I'd imagine the baby, even if an older infant, will be on formula, and probably underweight. So prepared foods (not jarred) would be something you could help with on a weekly basis to help them transition. WE know what babies eat - things like plain pasta, rice, peas, bananas, etc., but can you imagine being thrown into it cold turkey? You could even make up a meal schedule for them.

I know this might be annoying to most parents who have BTDT, but I myself was glued to the 'food guide' my pediatrician provided at the 6 month checkup. I also stole a lot of ideas from my friends.

Make sure they have a white noise machine for the baby's room and even a nice soothing music CD ('Lullaby' is an amazing one with lots of international songs:http://www.amazon.com/Lullaby-A-Collection-Various-Artists/dp/B000002M78). I'm sure the baby will also be going from a loud environment to a quiet one...they might need the noise.

If they don't have a ton already, books and toys. They are the last thing on your mind and it's hard to know what babies like until you have one. [/quote]
