Seriously? I would have though American timber would have been cheaper since you drop off the import fees and the transportation costs?

Maybe next time I am eating oriental food I will attempt to learn the art of chop sticks.

Chop sticks are great. We have some metal ones that are awesome.

I have some sterling silver chopsticks that someone gave me years and years ago. They're pretty, but way too slippery! I use waribashi, but managed to get some of the better grade ones and recycle them through the dishwasher. They eventually give out, but it takes a while.

Peet's Anniversary Breakfast Blend. But the cup is empty. Must go make some more tea...

Tea Gschwender Lapsong. Sleeping baby on chest. Hopefully he will make the transition to the crib smoothly.

Water. Fighting a nasty cold or bug.

I just read a suggestion that you might consider. Fill a rubber glove with beans or rice. Pat the child on the back a few times, and then leave the weighted "hand" on his back, so he feels you are still with him.

Anyway, if it works, let us know!

Till the child wakes up and finds his/her mother's severed hand on top of them

Well ..... the child is expected to be too young to recognize or think something like that.

I know, please feel free to ignore my facetious comments.

I'll have to try that. The hot water bottle or rice sock requires far too much prep time and coordination.

A rice sock really shouldn't require time coordination. If you fill a sock with rice & tie off the top, you can re-use it again and again and again. (In case making them was the part the took time.) I use a pair of socks filled with rice in the winter - 60-90 seconds in the microwave per sock. I only change out the rice once a year. [Then I keep the used rice in a tin, for use as an abrasive while washing out drinking bottles.]
If warming the rice sock is too much effort, that's another issue! P.S. I would do 30 seconds for a baby. 60-90 seconds is for a person old enough to know when it is too hot.

Anyway -- give Noah a squeeze from us!

Babies should not be put down to sleep in their cot on their front, but always on their back. The risk of them dying is significantly increased if they regularly go to sleep on their front.

My last Coke Zero of the day in my cup.

It is warming the rice sock that is time consuming. When holding a sleeping baby, it is a pain in the wazo. Using it just for the weight makes sense.

Babies who sleep on their stomachs are more likely to die from SIDs then babies who sleep on their backs. I have no problem with him sleeping on my chest, I can watch him and make sure he is safe.

I suggest you do not use props, if you can, and try to teach him to go to sleep on his own.
