Couples may enjoy white tablecloths and candlelight before baby, but after becoming parents hearing that there's an hour-long wait at a hot eatery isn't as enticing. Getting food to go allows mom and dad the chance to eat their favorite entrees without any of the worry of entertaining their tots during the experience or public mid meal meltdowns.

There's something about a man, er child, in a uniform. If mama thinks she loves fleet week for the handsome sailors, imagine her reaction when she dresses her babe up in the pressed navy gear.

Now that the theme has been set and the invitations have been sent out, it's time to start stocking up on the necessary items for my 3-year-old princess's royal affair. First on the list is a regal style cake pan. In the past I've ordered the dessert from our grocer but this year I'm thinking of making it so she can help me with the decoration.

When overwhelmed by choices — or pressed for time — consider going simple and classic with a snuggly one-piece animal costume. Not only will your barnyard baby be the cutest thing on the block, but she will be warm and comfortable all night.

My daughter doesn't have a swank pair of custom-made high-heeled slippers like Suri Cruise, but she was gifted a bag of plastic princess ones a few years ago.

While shopping for dress shoes at Nordstrom, there were several wedge and tiny kitten-heel styles available in her size!

Got a picky eater? Instead of tricking babe into eating healthy meals, try engaging him in the cooking process. Youngsters love to help and when they see their finished product on a platter, they'll be tempted to try their creation.

Stairs are enticing for lil ones who aren't supposed to play on them. Though several LilSugar readers told us they didn't do much in the way of babyproofing their homes, safety gates are a staple for many families with steep staircases.
