Stranger Anxiety on Plane

I recently traveled alone with my 5 month old baby and it perhaps the hardest flight of my life. He cried the entire 2+ hrs whenever he looked around and saw people he didn't recognize. He was so exhausted from crying that he finally just slept on my chest with those heaving breaths. We still have to go back home and I'm dreading the trip. Any advice from other parents who had to deal with stranger anxiety on a plane? * No toy held his interest long enough (Jacque the Peacock worked for approx. 30 seconds) and he hates nursing covers....

Your Favorite or Most Useful Baby Gift

I have several friends and relatives who are due in the next few months and am looking for some meaningful and/or really helpful baby gifts. It seems like everyone gave me clothes when my girls were born and although they were useful, they weren't very meaningful. And after all, a well-dressed baby still has problems sleeping, eating or whatever! I have hand-knitted gifts in the past but just don't have the time now. Also, any suggestions for an item that you found invaluable that you were so thankful to have?
