Life with kids just got easier with these 134 ingenious hacks developed by parents just like you.

Put the ketchup under the hot dog, minimizing the mess. Strap baby into a forward-facing carrier when you need to trim her fingernails—it frees your hands while controlling the squirming. Or stash a wallet in a disposable diaper at the beach—who would ever poke through what looks like a used Pamper?

All these hacks are easy to do, are boldly illustrated, and use everyday items in unexpected ways. And the range—from pregnancy and postpartum, through sleep, eating, bath time, travel, and more—covers all the most critical years when parents really need a little extra help.

Chapter 5 Bath Time & Grooming
When I was a new parent, everyone raved about the deliciousness of “that new baby smell.” What were they so excited about? My baby usually smelled like yogurt that had been left out of the fridge.

I eventually figured out how to keep my kid (mostly) clean and (somewhat) groomed, but it took practice.

You’ll scale the bath-time learning curve soon enough. Whether it’s a wipe-down with a damp washcloth or full-body soap-and water immersion, you’ll soon baby-bathe without a second thought. And you’ll have a sweet-smelling kid to show for it.

Turn cotton socks into baby bath mitts. Wet babies are slippery babies. Get a more solid grip by cutting thumb holes into a pair of cotton socks. Slide them over your hands, thumbs out, then use them as wearable washcloths.
