Hints From Heloise

Dear Heloise: I am the mother of a beautiful 7-month-old baby girl and I have received and discovered many helpful hints recently. I’d like to share this one.

Buy a small version of the plastic shower caddy (like college kids use), which generally has a handle in the center and deep bins on each side and comes in many colors. I put travel-size (can be refilled) lotions, soaps, diaper-rash cream, clippers, comb baby brush, cotton swabs, wet wipes, etc. in the bins and can carry it all in one hand anywhere in the house to make a change.

It can set flat on the bed, table or floor and it has a deep cleft underneath between the bins that will fit over the edge of the crib or changing table. - Lora Harris, Mansfield, Mo. xxxx
