It seems these days that everything with the label "Baby" is marked way up but you don't have to break the bank to care for your little ones. Here is a Wireless Video Camera with Pan and Tilt that you can hook up to your wifi and control via phone or computer and is under $50! Be warned, you have to know a little bit about  wireless networking as the instructions seem to be poorly translated from Chinese. Other than that, it gets great reviews.

Stroll Your Roll

Many people will tell you that one of the bests things for a fussy baby is to drive them around. Although this does help the baby it hurts the wallet at nearly $4 per gallon of gas. Another great tool is your stroller. Walk around your neighborhood or complex at a leisurely pace to let your baby enjoy their surroundings. We've found this to be the most effective way to calm both our baby and ourselves during those seemingly hopeless moments of fuss and frustration. Being in the same place for too long is liable to make anybody go crazy. Get out and enjoy the wonders of nature while the sun is still shining.
