This entry brought to you by the letter "B"

It has occurred to me that everything to do with babies starts with the letter B. Even the word Baby starts with B.

First of all they begin life as a Bump. They then go through Birth and are Born.

Their little lives revolve around four main things:

* Breastfeeding / Bottlefeeding - or Boobie-time as Peter calls it.
* Burping, which closely follows the feeding.
* Bedtime, which for some babies occurs in a Bassinette.
* Bathtime in either the Baby Bath or the Big tub.

When it's time to go outside, they get strapped into a Buggy.
When it's time to play they may get strapped into a Bouncinette.

Popular toys are Bears, Buzzy Bees and Blocks.

Even the dummy or pacifier is sometimes called a Binky in the US.

About the only thing in babies lives that doesn't start with B is their Nappy or Diaper. However these items are intimately associated with baby's Bottom, which does start with the letter B. Perhaps we should rename them Bumpers.
