AskDrSears.com:

Don't get this medical website confused with DrSears.com, which tells you how to lose weight on the Zone diet. Co-authors of best-selling The Baby Book, William Sears, MD and Martha Sears, RN are the folks behind AskDrSears.com, but you can just call them Dr. Bill and Martha. After practicing pediatric medicine for 30 years and raising eight children, two of which are also doctors and contribute to the site, the Sears' Web site gives you insight into anything medical that's on your mind. In addition to a number of parenting resources, there's pediatric news, Dr. Sears' diary, and topics of the week, such as "Avoiding Mommy Burnout." So remember to keep AskDrSears on call, because trust us, you're going to need it.

Started by author Alice Bradley, the Web site is an insightful and honest look at motherhood through the good times and bad.

To that end, BabyGenius uses music and video in its catalog of CDs and DVDs to teach your child as well as keep them calm.

Travel DVD with long battery life

While we don't regularly sedate our kids with video, the rules change on long trips, and DVD players can be a much-needed lifesaver. Fully charged, the $210 LG DP81 portable DVD player promises five hours of playback time thanks to a small, streamlined battery.

Gear up -- Sort of shaped like an Etch-a-Sketch, Tomy's Gearation is a magnetic surface with a bunch of different gears that kids can place and then play with. This $30 toy comes with 11 brightly-colored cogs that turn, rotate and flip at two speeds in two directions. The only constant is the center gear, so the cogs can be placed anywhere on the surface, delivering a new experience every time you take it out. The Gearation's carry handle makes it extremely portable and it only needs one C battery, so it's the perfect toy to keep your tot -- and maybe even you -- occupied for hours.

Tiny Love Wonder Wheel

If you can withstand repetitive noises to keep your kid preoccupied, then the Tiny Love Wonder Wheel, is, well, wonderful. This $30 toy comes in two pieces -- the remote control wheel and a cloth panel with pictures that light up and make music. The wire-free toy simply attaches to the back of a headrest, making setup and storage easy. When your toddler touches the wheel, the animals on the panel appear to respond, with the elephant, lion, monkey or giraffe all playing different music. It's ultimately designed as a cognitive tool, as your child will learn that pushing the buttons causes the toy to function. The sounds might drive some parents crazy, but it'll keep the younger ones busy for a long time.

Small World Toys Prescool Laptop

Anyone with kids knows you could have hundreds of toys scattered around, but somehow your child always wants to play with your computer. Luckily for you, there's a solution for both home and for travel: the Small World Toys Preschool Laptop. The toy is basically a match game with pictures that light up on the screen and correspond to the colorful buttons, teaching your tyke to recognize numbers, shapes, and sounds. For realism, the laptop closes like the grownup version and has an attached "mouse" that activates the game. Designed for children 18 months and up, this toy lets kids think they're working just like Mommy and Daddy, except for the actually-being-productive part.

Hooked-On Phonics Touch Screen Learner

Looking for a portable educational toy about the size of a Nintendo Game Boy? Try the $35 Hooked on Phonics Touch Screen Learner, a game system with an interactive LCD screen that's controlled using the attached stylus. Designed for ages 4 to 7, the set includes 14 games that will educate your child in three areas: letter names and sounds, spelling, and rhyming. Bonus games are unlocked as more points are scored, so it should hold your child's interest long enough for your headache to go away, or at least until the three AA batteries run out.

Forget the shower gel and bubble bath this Mother's Day. We say get her a gift that really makes its mark in the bathroom. The Westinghouse PT-16H610S is a 16-inch flip-style LCD HDTV that fits perfectly into tight spots-like the bathroom or kitchen. Mount it on the wall or just let it sit on any available countertop to enjoy a gorgeous, high definition picture.

Maybe Mom wants something tiny and shiny? Though it may sound like a cliche gift, the neat and petite (GB) iPod Nano is still the ultra-portable music, video, and image player that we love best. It's simply the easiest way for your Mom to stay on top of her favorite TV or radio shows (thanks to availability on iTunes and radio podcasts of most major radio broadcasts) while on the go. And though there are seven colors to choose from, we suggest the newest addition in a bright, happy pink. The 4-gigabyte (GB) unit retails for $149 and the 8-gigabyte (GB) unit retails for $199. The price includes free engraving on the back for any thoughts you may have for Mom on this special day.

This laptop computer is pretty, slim and powerful. What more could a woman want from a laptop? Add to that a Mother's Day sale price starting at $649 (that's a savings of $384) and you've got an excellent gift for a Mom who needs (or wants) a laptop. The Dell Inspiron 1525 has a 15.4-inch screen, a full-size keyboard, and even a 2-megapixel Webcam (for an extra $25). Other upgrades include a DVD burner ($50) and your choice of a broadband antenna from either Sprint or Verizon ($150, but if you sign up for service with either carrier, you'll get a $100 rebate). The notebook is available in an assortment of colors, but check out the Blossom pattern or Flamingo Pink for this holiday gift.

If you thought handheld game consoles were just for kids, then you've got it all wrong. They were made for moms, too. The Nintendo DS is small, with a clamshell design and two LCD screens -- one of which is a touchscreen. With a built-in microphone and Wi-Fi, this little gadget is perfect entertainment for the mom who wants to be at least as cool as her teenage or twentysomething daughters. Add some groovy games -- like Konami's Let's Yoga! and Let's Pilates!, which provide simple instructions for exercises and positions -- and it becomes a portable workout center. Also perfect for her is the Crosswords DS game, which includes more than a thousand crossword puzzles, Wordsearch and Anagrams. The Nintendo DS goes for $130 and the games retail for $30.

Whether driving to soccer practice or to the office, Mom will find the MOTOROKR T505 ($139.99) wireless in-car speaker system to be a great alternative to annoying earpieces (or worse, actual handsets) that are usually used when behind the wheel. The T505 clips easily to the car's visor and uses Bluetooth technology and an FM transmitter to make and receive phone calls through a car's stereo speakers. The T505 also has echo and noise reduction technology to make sure calls are clear, while an Audio CallerID feature lets you hear the number of any incoming caller. As an added bonus, you can also stream music from a compatible cellphone or MP3 player to the T505.

In the beginning, Bluetooth headsets were a bit off-putting. You stuck one in your ear, called a friend on your mobile phone, and watched as people on the street looked on as you had a conversation -- seemingly with yourself. But things have changed drastically since then. These small, wireless gadgets are now ubiquitous, gracing the earlobes of everyone from the guy on the next treadmill to your grandma in her car. So what are the coolest, most innovative we saw at CES that'll find their way to store shelves this year? Take a look at our five favorites:



BlueAnt Wireless V1: Forget playing with buttons, checking on blinking lights or messing with your cell phone when you want to make a call. The BlueAnt V1 is the first completely voice controlled Bluetooth headset and it's superneat. With just one button to activate it -- all you do is talk and it will talk right back. Want to call the operator? Just speak and your wish is its command. Speed dial has never been so easy, either. Using advanced Voice Recognition and Voice Synthesis technology, the V1 also has dual microphones and proprietary Voice Isolation Technology, which allows the headset to hear you clearly and provides amazing noise reduction, echo cancellation and even protection from wind. Small and lightweight, the V1 gets up to six hours of talk time or 200 hours of standby with one battery charge. And all this for just $119. (Image by way of MobileWhack.com)

Motorola: An upgrade to Motorola's original MOTOROKR S9, the S9-HD not only gives you wireless freedom to talk on the phone, you also get powerful, 3-D surround sound and high definition acoustics with a comfy behind-the-head design. Lighter than a pair of sunglasses, this headset comes with simple controls, letting you manage your calls and your music without hassle. Whether connected to a compatible Bluetooth-enabled music phone or just your MP3 player, you won't miss a call or your favorite tune. And Apple fans, don't despair. The Motorola D650, sold separately, pairs the S9-HD with most iPod players. One charge will get you six hours of play time. We're still awaiting pricing details, but look for this by summer.

Measuring 1.2-inches long by 0.63 inches wide and weighing in at 0.2 ounces, it certainly is tiny. But what do you get with this small wonder? There's the three button interface and what is called a "Soft Spring" ear insert, making it more comfortable to wear.

A charging case is also included, which protects the headset while recharging it for up to 20 hours of talk time and 30 days of stand-by. Though on its own, the G5 has just four hours of talk time and 6.25 days of stand-by. Retails for $130.

CallPod Phoenix: Drop that speakerphone -- here's a new idea for your next conference call. The CallPod Phoenix is a mobile-conferencing Bluetooth headset system that brings up to five people into a call -- all wirelessly and without fuss. Using Skype or any cell phone you choose, this gadget provides full-duplex conference calling. Consisting of a "CallPod" and five Dragon headsets, the Phoenix promises a 300,000-square-foot coverage area and is compatible with just about any Bluetooth headset you might have handy. We suggest sticking with the Dragon headsets, however, because of the extra, added bonus of a push-to-talk mode, letting call participants communicate with each other just by pressing the center button on the headset. Perfect for that next power lunch you're all hunched over. Retails for $300.

Sanyo KatanaStill wondering what to get the lady in your life for the holidays? Well, you certainly waited until the last moment. Not to worry, we're here with some of the best cell phone picks for ladies -- and you're sure to find one that's right for her.

There's no mistaking it these days: Many cell phones are made with the female form in mind. Gone are the clunky, unattractive phones that took up way too much purse space -- replaced instead by sleek, stylish, colorful phones that are easy to use and tote around. But before you buy your lady a new mobile for the holidays, take a look at our feminine faves.

Of course, if that special someone is locked in a contract, you might want to take a look at Amazon.com, which has an array of unlocked cell phones. These phones provide service by allowing you to insert any SIM card from any compatible carrier. Nice and easy.


Sanyo Katana

A little longer and boxier than the groundbreaking RAZR, the Sanyo Katana powered by Sprint, is a pretty flip phone with a VGA camera peeking out over a small color screen. Its Cherry Blossom Pink color attracts the fairer sex and its Web browsing functions, four-hour talk time and wireless Bluetooth keeps them coming back for more.

If holiday gift conversations with your kids include lots of begging for a pet, then you should check out this nice way to diffuse the situation: Squawkers McCaw, the Furreal Friends Parrot (Hasbro, $65), is a true-to-size, interactive, animatronic bird with voice recognition, programmable features and remote control toy cracker perch. He can repeat words spoken to him and even answer with pre-programmed commands, which essentially teaches Squawkers as you go along. And of course, this macaw loves to cut a rug, so play some tunes and let him rock out -- or just let him play his own signature song. It may have no heartbeat, but this bird has soul.

Since most kids think the 1980s are akin to the Dark Ages, it's no surprise the folks who gave us the Rubik's Cube decided to come out with something new. Rubik's Revolution (Techno Source, $19.99) is a digital version of the addictive box puzzle and features six ways to play -- all based on speed, strategy or a combination of both. Games include Light Speed, Rapid Recharge, Pattern Panic, Cube Catcher, Code Cracker and Multiplayer Madness, and come with light and sound effects. Unlock a level and you'll automatically be pushed up to the next. Though it's the same size and form factor as the original, this sure isn't your mom's gadget.

American Idol Talent Challenge

Not old enough (or brave enough) to hit the 'American Idol' auditions? This holiday season, your kids can sing their hearts out with real American Idol performers with American Idol Talent Challenge (Tech2Go, $49.99), a small piece of hardware that hooks up to your DVD player and uses a microphone and mixer to make little dreams come true. Also included: a DVD featuring 12 songs -- with or without original vocals -- so you can practice for a while before you make your solo appearance. The karaoke-style screen lets the whole family sing along and makes sure nobody forgets the words. We leave it to your discretion to play the parts of Simon, Randy and Paula. Just don't judge too harshly. Remember, these are your children.

If your child is like most, he or she probably has Elmo is at the top of the holiday wish list this year. And to make things just a little more interesting, Fisher-Price has introduced its TMX Elmo (Fisher-Price, $40), an interactive tickle toy that knows just where its funny bone is. Kicking, sitting, slapping his thigh, this Elmo is like none you've ever seen. And, of course, he speaks as well, with nuggets of wisdom such as, "Again, again," and "Give Elmo a break!" TMX Elmo is perfect for children 18 months or over, but don't be surprised if some of the younger kids take a while to get used to its crazy (and loud) physical and verbal shenanigans.

After nine months of pregnancy and a baby shower, you've probably acquired a lot of stuff. Now that the baby's here, what do you really need and what can you stuff back in the closet or sell on eBay? Based on our own experiences with our own young babies, here are a few things we've think you won't want to live without. (And if you've got a Mom -- or a new baby -- on your gift list this holiday, read on).




Prince Lionheart Slumber Bear

Sleep -- talk to any new mother and the subject is bound to come up. How is the baby sleeping? How are you sleeping? And most importantly, how do you get the baby to actually go to sleep? With this age-old question comes a reliable answer in the form of the $27 Prince Lionheart Slumber Bear. Though it looks like a typical stuffed bear swaddled in pink, blue or beige pajamas, the Prince Lionheart Slumber Bear is stuffed with an audio box that plays actual recordings of intra-uterine womb sounds. Just fasten the bear onto the crib bars with the included hook and straps, and the baby will recognize these ambient white-noise-like sounds and be immediately lulled to sleep. With a five-minute shut-off timer to save batteries, as well as motion and sound sensors to reactivate the recording when your little one wakes up, this bear is a must-have for frustrated mommies who could use more time to themselves. The audio box is removeable, and can also attach to a stroller or car seat, for example.
