misosouper, a shopping blog

In recent memory, no other product has revolutionized my life like the Itzbeen Baby Care Timer.

Since baby P has come home, we’ve been sleeping in separate beds:  Mr. Misosouper across the house (in walkie talkie distance, of course), and me in the guest room, on newborn duty.  He gets to rest at night and I get to rest during the day, a setup I highly recommend.

So in the wee hours, if I haven’t blearily rolled over to feed/change/check on baby in the past 3 hours, the Itzbeen Baby Care Timer sounds a gentle alarm to wake me up.  Press the buttons to reset, and repeat, until morning.  (There’s a bonus button, which I used the first couple of nights home to remind me to take my pain meds.  As if I would have forgotten.)

The Itzbeen Baby Care Timer even comes with a nightlight, which I have used for several diaper changes when I’m too lazy to turn on the lamp.

Yes, I know reviews of this gadget have already been posted all over the internet.

But add my exhausted, grateful voice to the chorus.
