Magic Of Music  &#8211;  Unique Baby Shower Gift</p>
<p>What is the best gift to give at a baby shower; if we all knew that everything would be hunky dory? Unfortunately we are not mind readers so stress lingers on while we rack our brains what to buy.</p>
<p>If gift choosing is the cause of your headaches then do not fret call mom-to-be and ask her what she would like. Doing it this way may spoil your intention of surprising the couple so you have a catch 22 situation. A good option is to ask the host what has already been donated this will help so you do not repeat buy. With this information you get to surprise as planned. </p>
<p>Baby shower gifts are usually useful items for the mother in help to raise her new born baby. But how do we know what she really wants. What if this mother has everything? A unique gift is a sure way of getting it right.</p>
<p>Fabulous shower gifts worth considering is announcement plates which you can have personalised with little ditty engravings. By doing this you gain assurance that the parents will not have another same. Designs markings and styles are plentiful. Having poems inscribed onto the plate is a nice gesture with your own choice of poetic wording.<br />
Baby Blankets and pillows are high on the list of favourites given at baby shower parties. By adding more embroidery stitch patterns or a theme will give this gift a more unique look and feel.</p>
<p>Has the new baby got name yet if so have it engraved onto a guilt edged photo frame.<br />
Making a small donation into babys first piggy bank is a rewarding gift and if you have money to burn then open a bank account and deposit some real cash into it.<br />
Vouchers for different baby stores given to the parents to spend as they wish, is another practical gift idea. Mother gets to buy what it is she wants and more to the point needs.  </p>
<p>Music tapes are worth a thought to give as a baby shower gift. Word has it that music can boost and enhance creativity and ease stress in babies. With the help of easy listening baby claims quality sleep therefore more intelligence. (Thats what they say)</p>
<p>Mum tells me there was no music in my day maybe this is the answer to why I never claimed quality sleep need I say more, I leave the rest to your imagination.</p>

<p>As the host of a baby shower, the decorations will likely be one of your biggest tasks!  </p>
<p>Just because youre the host, it doesnt mean you need to spend hundred of dollars to have a fabulously decorated location for your loved ones baby shower.</p>
<p>Think in themes!  Using a theme can make decorating SO much easier than if you just have a vague idea of boy or girl for decorations.  Here are some simple ways you can save money on decorations.</p>
<p>Using the babys nursery theme, you can incorporate your gifts for the new mom into the decorations.  If the baby is going to have a Noahs Ark, farm, or jungle themed room, you can get some stuffed animals to decorate with!  Use them as centerpieces and to decorate side tables, as needed. </p>
<p>For a star themed room, you can cut out large stars, spray paint them silver and gold and hang them from the ceiling.  Use star confetti on the tables and try to find some wire garland, too.  Ive seen these types of garland all year round.  Stars are also easy to find on candles, tablecloths, napkins, etc.</p>
<p>Many people love to give diaper cakes as baby shower gifts.  They not only serve as gifts, but make great centerpieces!  </p>
<p>For the baby showers I have hosted, I always like to have a menu on display so the guests know what they are eating!  It probably comes from being a picky eater, but I have always gotten wonderful comments on this.  It is VERY simple to do, too!  Just get a nice picture frame (you can even get one engraved for a baby gift!) and on your computer, type up the list of foods you will be serving.  Use a font that coordinates with the theme, center it on the page and print it out!  I like to order the item the same way nice restaurants do with appetizers first, salads and breads next, main courses after that, followed by desserts and beverages.</p>
<p>It really is a very nice touch that doesnt take much work at all, but you will get lots of compliments on it!  I dont even mind if you take all the credit yourself!</p>
<p>If you want to have something outside the baby shower location to announce it, you can get a banner or yard sign that can also be given to the mother as a gift.  Always be thinking of dual purpose baby shower decorations that can be given as gifts!  This is a great way to save money!<br />
Flowers are wonderful additions to any baby shower dcor.  If you live near a supermarket that has a floral department, you can save lots of money by just picking up some bundles and doing your own floral arrangements.  Most stores have a floral artist that works there, so ask for a few tips.  Dont be afraid to try this!  No one will likely know that you didnt get an arrangement custom made for the baby shower if you dont tell them.</p>
<p>When youre there, ask if they have any discarded petals you can have.  Most florists take a few petals off roses before arranging them and will give them to you for FREE if you ask.  Just call around to local shops and see.  Youll never know unless you ask!</p>
<p>If you just dont think you can handle doing your own floral arrangements or you wont have the time, ordering online can also be a huge money saver.  You can often get dozens of roses for so much less online than locally because online florists can buy in bulk and pass the savings on to you.</p>
<p>Have fun decorating for your next baby shower!  Remember to use decorations that also can be used as gifts to save money!</p>

How Do You Know What To Give For A Baby Shower?</p>
<p>Buying a gift for a baby is especially tough when you dont have any kids of your own. If youve never had children, how in the world are you supposed to know what to do?</p>
<p>Relax, we are going to give you some quick ideas to help take the stress off of you, help you choose an appropriate and useful gift and make the shower an enjoyable experience. </p>
<p>Call the soon to be parents or the host of the baby shower and ask if there is a gift registry for the baby. Many people do this just as brides do for bridal showers. Many times it will be available online. The baby gift registry will tell you what they are asking for and if the desire has already been filled.</p>
<p>Diapers may not seem the fanciest of baby shower gifts, but they may be one of the most useful. Diapers are expensive, and babies use them quickly, so new parents always appreciate a gift of diapers. Even parents who use cloth diapers might like to have a pack of disposable diapers for travel. Diapers are sized by baby&#8217;s weight. Buy larger sizes instead of newborn diapers, since some newborns grow quickly and don&#8217;t use many of the smaller sizes. Don&#8217;t forget to throw in some baby wipes! </p>
<p>Some babies are really picky when it comes to bottles and pacifiers &#8211; some babies will only use one particular brand or shape. If the parents-to-be have registered for a particular type of bottles, nipples or pacifiers, it&#8217;s safe to buy them for a baby shower gift. Otherwise, steer clear of these gifts until you know which type the baby will prefer.</p>
<p> Some parents do not ever introduce their baby to pacifiers or bottles because these items can interfere with breastfeeding. </p>
<p>This is another reason to do some research if you want to buy something like this, I know my son never used a pacifier and some people are touchy about that.</p>
<p>Baby clothes are sized by age and sometimes weight. The smallest sizes don&#8217;t get a lot of wear since newborns grow quickly. Baby clothes in larger sizes will likely be used more. Use the baby&#8217;s due date to figure out what season it will be when baby reaches a new clothing size, such as 6 months, and buy seasonal clothes in that size.</p>
<p> If you don&#8217;t know the baby&#8217;s gender, a gift certificate is a welcome baby shower gift, allowing the parents to choose an outfit in pink or blue after baby arrives.<br />
If you&#8217;re stumped for a baby shower gift, help boost baby&#8217;s brain power by choosing a classic baby book, educational DVD or music CD. Studies show that music encourages brain development in babies, so a lullaby CD or some tunes for the car would be a nice gift. Also look for one of the many DVD learning series for infants, such as Brainy Baby or Baby Einstein. Still stumped? A copy of your favorite book from childhood is a meaningful and useful baby shower gift. </p>
<p>The baby shower gift possibilities are almost endless when you give the gift of baby toys. You can buy toys made for older babies for use later in baby&#8217;s life, but stick with toys for ages 3 and under to avoid small parts that could choke a young baby. Toys have an age range listed on the package. If you want your gift to be used for a long time, look for a wider age range on the package. Fancy doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean better when it comes to baby toys, either, babies love simple toys, too. </p>
<p>If you want to give a baby shower gift that&#8217;s out of the ordinary, consider the parents&#8217; lifestyle. For environmentally active parents, an organic baby gift is a smart choice. Are the parents into travel or outdoors adventures? A baby backpack carrier or baby bike trailer would get baby involved in family activities. Techie parents might enjoy a titanium stroller with an onboard music system. Other lifestyle gifts might include breastfeeding supplies, baby slings or cloth diapers.</p>

Coming Up With Unique Baby Shower Gift Ideas: Helpful Tips And Advice</p>
<p>Coming up with a great (and unique!) baby shower gift idea can seem like a difficult task. Any guest would like to give a gift that can be useful to the baby or the parents. Nobody would like to have his or her gift stashed in a closet or to given away to charity without being used first by the recipient.</p>
<p>Therefore, one has to make sure that he or she has chosen the baby shower gift properly so it will not be wasted. As much as possible, never select a baby shower gift that the parents may already have. Sometimes, the baby shower invitation says what the parents would like to receive.</p>
<p>If it is not on the invitation, you can also call the mom to ask what she would like to receive or what else she would need.</p>
<p>At times when the parents seem to have prepared well for the baby, you can select unique baby shower gifts that would serve as decorative items and remembrance.</p>
<p>Here are some unique baby shower gift suggestions.</p>
<p>* Birth Announcement Plates</p>
<p>These are decorative plates that come in pastel colors and different designs. These can also be personalized with the baby&#8217;s name. Some companies also offer printing the baby&#8217;s picture on the plates.</p>
<p>The plates may be used to contain food. However, many chooses to have these plates displayed somewhere in the house.</p>
<p>* Personalized Ornaments</p>
<p>These ornaments are made from ceramic tiles that can be displayed on cabinet or shelves. These can be personalized to contain the baby&#8217;s name or picture. You may also give a poem to the engraving company so it will be included in the ornament.</p>
<p>* Personalized Baby Blankets</p>
<p>These blankets come in pastel colors with different designs. These can be personalized to include the baby&#8217;s name. Before deciding to give one, make sure that the parents hadn&#8217;t bought or will not be receiving several blankets during the baby shower party.</p>
<p>* Pillows</p>
<p>Pillows can also be personalized with the baby&#8217;s name. These come in several colors and designs.</p>
<p>* Personalized Name Frame</p>
<p>If the baby&#8217;s name was already chosen, you can choose a personalized name frame. This will contain the baby&#8217;s name with it&#8217;s meaning, usually the biblical or historic association of the name. It may also have a poem dedicating the gift to the baby or wishing the baby and the parents well.</p>
<p>* Piggy Bank</p>
<p>The parents can start the baby&#8217;s savings with a personalized piggy bank. The parents may drop coins each day after the baby is born. When the child is older, he or she can continue saving money with this decorative piggy bank.</p>
<p>* Baby Naming Book</p>
<p>If the parents still hadn&#8217;t decided what name to give to the baby or if they are not yet sure of the baby&#8217;s gender, the baby-naming book is a great gift for the baby shower. The book contains name selections from the bible and historical figures. The meanings of the names are also given as well as the variations and origins in different countries and cultures.</p>
<p>* Music CD</p>
<p>Music has been proven to enhance the creativity and eliminate stress. For babies, music can help them have quality sleep and boost their creativity and intelligence. This is a perfect gift for the baby and the parents.</p>
<p>Regardless of the gift that you have chosen, always include a card to express your thoughts and your joys in sharing the celebration with the baby&#8217; parents.</p>

Cheap Baby Shower Gifts: Thoughtful Ideas That Won&#8217;t Break The Bank</p>
<p>Here is a great list of cheap baby shower gift ideas that won&#8217;t break the bank. Enjoy!</p>
<p>1.Books. Buy baby board books online for less than $5 a pop (shipping included). Get discounted rates when buying on a bundle. </p>
<p>2.Baby Clothes. Any new Mom will appreciate a set of clothes as a baby shower gift. However, if you plan ahead, you can give the Mom-to-be toddler clothes instead of infant sets. Shell surely appreciate the vision. Another tip is to buy off-season, while the clothes are on clearance. You can surely fit more than a piece for under $10.</p>
<p>3. Engraved Charms. If a silver or gold bracelet is out of your budget, why not give a personalized jewelry charm? Choose from several shapes, with heart as being the most popular. It can be used as a pendant or bracelet charm. Have the babys name and birth date engraved at the back of the charm.</p>
<p>4. Basket of Goodies. In dollar stores, purchase an inexpensive woven basket and decorate it with leftover holiday ribbons. Line the basket with pastel confetti and fill the basket with goodies, like purse versions of lotion, cologne, powder, diaper pins, wet tissues, anything that the baby needs. Some of these miniature items are grocery give-aways, so the over-all price comes really low. </p>
<p>5. Painted Pots. Paint clean clay pots with pastel colors and use stencils to place simple designs. Give a set of three to give the Mom-to-be a handy desktop storage for cotton balls, Qtips, diaper pins, etc.</p>
<p>6. Hand or footprint kit. These are kits that have materials to imprint the babys hands or feet onto framed shadowboxes. Most kits are at $10. </p>
<p>7. Framed Cross-Stitch. For a personal touch, buy cross-stitch materials and sew the babys name and birth date on a rectangle piece of cloth. Have it framed for a lasting gift. If you are short of time, give her a short and sweet note written on a copy of the pattern to say, gift is work-in-progress, will be done in time for his/ her birth. </p>
<p>8. Plant a Tree. Various government-sponsored companies are promoting tree planting and this is definitely a great gift for a baby shower. Most tree planting gifts come with a certificate complete with the babys name and a personalized dedication. Some companies offer a dollar for every tree, so your $10 can buy 10 trees. Now thats a guarantee of fresh air for the babys future.</p>
<p>9. Baby Website. For the tech savvy Mom-to-be, create a free website for the future newborn. This gift will last until the baby grows up and can personally edit his or her website. If you know that the parents already have a web host, why not pay for the domain registration of the babys name so for the next five years, the future new born will have his or her own e-niche.</p>
<p>10. Pamper Mom, Too! Who says baby shower gifts are only for babies? Be creative by giving the Mom-to-be a gift, instead of the baby. After all, the occasion is, in fact, a celebration of her strength and dedication in carrying another life for nine months. Dollar stores frequently offer pampering gift baskets or customize your own, similar to the basket of goodies described above.</p>

In the market today, one has a wide range of options to choose from.  Unique baby gifts and baby gift baskets of the highest quality are available.  One might want to buy baby shower gifts.  A range of unique and creative baby gifts and accessories await you if you are going shopping for your baby.  Personalized keepsakes can last a lifetime and one would prefer a personalized baby gift rather than a simple one which has no personal touch. Buy baby gift items and personalize them to add value and uniqueness.</p>
<p>All About Personalized Gifts for Your Baby</p>
<p>An enormous list of options available for personalization includes silver gift sets, silver photo frames, birth candles, bone china, pewter and glass products. You could personalize china plates in 22ct gold with the child&#8217;s full name, place and date of birth. They make a very special newborn baby gift.  When looking to buy baby gift items for personalization, a gift with lasting appeal certainly adds value.</p>
<p>Another option is personalized children&#8217;s music CDs. Kids enjoy singing along to songs and will certainly love hearing their own name sung in the lyrics of the songs.  Along with their great entertainment value, these personalized CDs help to build self-esteem and develop self-confidence in the baby. </p>
<p>Baby gift baskets are another great option. They are filled with great things for both mom and baby. They are the perfect pick as baby shower gifts, newborn baby gifts, as a first and second birthday baby gift.  Browse all baby gift baskets and see that the basket is not filled with useless and cheap trinkets.  See to it that the baby gift baskets have practical, useful and fun stuff within them.</p>
<p>Other possible choices which help the little one feel comfortable in their first bedroom include artwork, hand painted furniture, bedding and cribs designed and personalized for the baby.  Comfortable baby blankets and cozies can be found in this category as well. </p>
<p>Another choice is personalized books for children.  For sale are deluxe framed names, in which the name of the child is written alongside beautifully illustrated pictures for each initial and the origin and meaning of the name is explained.</p>
<p>Soft toys, which babies love to have, can be personalized as well. included are a number of personalized teddy bears, with embroidered details.  The best part is that a personalized bear can include any name or message up to 50 characters long, from a simple birthday greeting to complete name and birth details.</p>
<p>A mug can also be personalized with around 50 characters and kids love to have their early morning drink in them. </p>
<p>Baby clothes are an item that parents cannot get enough of.  Of course, many different ways of personalizing clothing exist, such as embroidery, hand-painting, and iron-on artwork.</p>
<p>Keep in mind the following while looking to buy baby gift items:<br />
- The age of the baby while making the selection<br />
- See that the quality of the selected gift is good.<br />
- If the baby loves music, give him a personalized CD<br />
- Buy clothing items a few sizes larger so the baby can grow into them if shopping for personalized t-shirts etc.</p>

How To Save Hundreds Of Dollars Per Year On Baby Gifts</p>
<p>Think for a minute. How many baby showers have you attended in the past year? Now think about how much money you&#8217;ve spent in the last year on baby shower gifts. One, two, may three hundred? For some, the answer could easily be several hundred dollars. Wouldn&#8217;t it be a lot easier and cheaper if you just made the gift yourself? I know what you&#8217;re thinking, &#8220;But I&#8217;m not creative. I can&#8217;t make anything.&#8221; The truth is, there are many gifts you can create with very little time and effort. </p>
<p>One idea you might consider are baby gift baskets. You&#8217;ll find wicker baskets, as well as decorative ribbon and lace at your local craft store or discount store. To fill your basket, purchase baby care items like lotions, baby wash, shampoo, and other baby necessities. You could top it off with a nice stuffed animal or toy. </p>
<p>Another great idea is to make a diaper cake. A diaper cake is new, but increasing popular baby gift made of diapers, shaped in tiers resembling a cake. The diaper cake contains everything a new baby would need such as bottles, blankets, toys, and baby care items. Many online stores care them, but if you have the time, you could easily make a diaper cake yourself. You can find step by step diaper cake directions online also. It&#8217;s a good idea to find diaper cake directions with pictures, so that it is easier for you. </p>
<p>If you really want to impress the new mom, make a gift basket just for her! So many times, we tend to forget the mom and focus just on the new little one. Moms need love too and she&#8217;d appreciate it so much. A good gift basket idea for a new mom is a pamper me theme basket. This basket could include a nice scented candle, foot bath, lotions, soft slippers, etc. Present this to the expectant mom at her baby shower an watch her eyes light up. </p>
<p>There are so many creative ways to save money on baby gifts. Gifts that are both practical and useful often mean the most are are the most appreciated.</p>

<p>The time of planning a baby shower is a special one. An expecting mom could be the happiest person in the world should she give birth to a little angel. And in anticipation of the new baby, baby showers are commonly held about three months before the baby is born. It is possible to hold it after the baby is born. It has advantages in doing that plus it would be little easier selecting gifts if it were held after. A higher percentage though holds it before the baby&#8217;s birth. </p>
<p>Shopping for baby shower gifts and items could be very fun. You can give anything for the baby, from baby consumables to playthings. Choosing the best gift can be trick. To assists you in picking, you can check out these suggestions: </p>
<p>Buy something that the baby will use frequently. You can buy baby ointments, baby lotions, diapers, wipes, baby power, and other stuff, and place them all in a basket or any appropriate container. All babies use diapers, and no mom can live without it now a days. Most moms usually think this as a practical gift because if they get enough of it from guests, they need not purchase diapers for the baby until after a few months. That&#8217;s big convenience and big savings for them. Running out of diapers during the night could be a nightmare. You can also add some medicines and vitamins for the baby. This could come in handy in times of need.</p>
<p>Buy something fun for the baby. You can buy toys. Good toys are those that move and produce sounds. Buy something that can be mounted on the crib. Suggestions can be baby tape player, vibrator seats, swings, bouncy seats, high chairs, or walkers. The list is endless. These toys also enhance a baby&#8217;s mind development through color, object, and sound recognition. </p>
<p>Buy some cute clothes. Although this could be risky since you don&#8217;t know the gender the baby will be, or its weight upon birth. Try to buy rompers and shirts in medium sizes. This way you can be sure the baby can wear what you bought at least a few times. Don&#8217;t buy clothes that need ironing because that&#8217;s added task for moms and you wouldn&#8217;t want that, of course.</p>
<p>Buy something useful for mommy. Gifts assisting moms caring for the baby is such a good idea. You can buy a baby carrier or slinger. It is very helpful for moms to get some cooking or cleaning done while carrying the baby. A helpful device you can buy is a diaper genie to help keep the smell down from used diapers.</p>
<p>Buy something for moms too. True, baby showers are for the babies. But moms, with all the excitement that they feel towards giving birth, can be apprehensive about the idea too. You can give gift certificates to moms from a shop or mall. You can give moms books or magazines about parenting. You can give them coupons from a Laundromat or a professional house cleaner. You can prepare for them a dinner for one night and send it over. Or better yet, give delivery stubs from pizza parlors so in the event dinner can&#8217;t be cooked, food can be driven over.</p>
<p>Baby showers are held to welcome the baby to the world. Sometimes, baby showers are held only for the first-born. It would be nice to have a shower for each of your new born child so that the baby would feel well received and wanted even from the mommy&#8217;s womb. Babies are cute little blessings families are given with. Let&#8217;s greet them even before they come out and join us! </p>

<p>When one talk about shower baby gifts, it is clear they can vary from the very practical to the extremely bizarre. If you have ever been invited to a baby shower, you know that there are two different kinds of presents you can give the new mom: the gifts that impress her and are useless, and the very practical stuff. If you choose the latter is best, as things given are useful and the shower baby gifts are about having a baby. When we speak about useful baby gifts, we refer to casseroles, or anything you can just heat up to prepare dinner, or the book &#8220;What to Expect the First Year&#8221;, in which the mother can find a lot of useful information. Commonly baby gifts can vary from extremely practical things, like disposable diapers to things that are bizarre such as a grinder for turning steamed veggies into homemade baby food.</p>
<p>It is normal that the preferences both of the mother and of the infant vary greatly, so that what is &#8220;essential&#8221; for one mother can be completely pointless for another mom. We will give you some examples: Diaper Genie (a fancy diaper pail), baby-wipe warmers, baby washcloths, hooded towels, Boppy pillows and baby swings. Anything that is related to feeding, like bottles, pacifiers, formula or breast-feeding supplies, breast pads, pump, milk storage bags, can be risky as a present, since it&#8217;s hard to know what a baby will like.</p>
<p>But here are some baby gifts that will be highly appreciated by any parent: diapers, wipes, burp cloths &#8212; quilted cloth diapers are the best, and make great dust cloths down the road, blankets, terrycloth covers for changing-table pads, crib sheets, especially nice flannel or soft jersey cotton. We can add to the list waterproof mattress pad for the crib or practical clothing in larger sizes. A lot of parents said they had too many newborn-sized outfits and too few for 6 months or older babies.</p>

Baby Shower Gifts &#8211; Perfect Gift For A Mad Mummy And Daddy</p>
<p>There are many different ways of celebrating a new baby on the way the options are endless. It is the holding of a shower party which is the most popular where guests bring along baby shower gifts for the mother-to-be. All presents are normally items that mother and baby need thus helping the new parent in raising the baby.</p>
<p>Looking for ideas on what to give will not be a problem but what you have to remember when buying baby shower gifts is, it is not about you and your likes and dislikes. The new mom-to-be may not have the same opinion on what you see as pretty or not. Stick with the essentials and you can not go far wrong. By doing this you know that your baby shower gift will be truly appreciated especially if it helps towards reducing the new parents cost allowance in raising the baby.<br />
If you are not sure of what the essentials are then the list below may help you decide on what to bring as your gift to the party.</p>
<p>1. Diapers may not be the most fanciful of gifts to bestow but certainly the most practical. We all know that you can never have too many diapers of which mummy will find out a little later when baby is here. Diapers can be very costly so I am sure that this baby shower gift will not be snubbed. You have two types of diaper the deposable or cloth. A tip for the parent, if you receive cloth and dont intend to use them then why not cut into neat square strips and use for baby flannels you will need them come bath time.</p>
<p>2. Bottles and Pacifiers are fabulous gift items but need to be chosen with care e.g. colours, pacifiers in blue dont suit little girls or vice or versa. This sort of gift picking can be a nightmare because baby can be picky on what they are comfortable and content with.   </p>
<p>3. If you choose to buy baby clothes as your baby shower gift always go for a size bigger or bigger again as babies are not babies for long. Selecting what clothes to buy will be a lot simpler if the sex of the baby is known or the month baby is due. By having this information under your hat your choice regarding colours and which outfit for the season will make your task easier.</p>
<p>4. Toys make ideal presents but once again the sex of the baby is definitely a plus to know. You can help boost babys mind with self educational stuff, things like classic story baby books, video and music CDs even cuddly bears which often becomes babys companion at bedtime. </p>
<p>5. Bath time and babies, they either love or hate the water. For babies that love to splash then perfect gifts are baby shower bath toys. For infants who are dubious in taking the plunge you have to make this experience as enjoyable as you can by giving little excites like cute rubber ducks bright and colourful. Scented bath rubs like lavender cologne or even bubble bath may help baby relax more. Towels/flannels are among other gifts warmly welcomed for help to easing bath time pressure, mopping up splashed water. This is a time for wetsuits believe me. </p>
<p>If all fails at bath time in keeping the agitated baby content and the baby shower gifts are not helping to overcome the fear then you have no option but to play clown for a while. The more action around baby at this time e.g. a mad mummy and daddy dunking their head under water may just help baby to forget why he/she made all the fuss in the first place.</p>
