About this Site
The Baby Guide and Directory was created after
I became completely obsessed with baby neopets. I decided to create a fun guide (located on this page) talking about how to give your baby the special treatment it deserves. The Directory was started shortly afterwards and is always growing. To navigate this site, I suggest you start off here and then head on to the directory (link above).
Updates
11-4-08 More babies have been added to the directory, and kougra is now a closed species. Hopefully soon I will add link back buttons made specifically for members of the directory, and freshen up the layout.
10-25-08More babies have been added to the directory, and babies that have been repainted or whose owners have been frozen have been removed. Also, kougra is an open species again (one spot open). I got a pleasant surprise the other day:
I have no idea how we got that many page views in one day, but it was a pleasant surprise! Also, I have a new affiliate (fruit and vegetable chia directory), so be sure to check out their page.
10-12-08UFA babies added (including a custom). Be sure to read the rules if you want to apply for one of them.
10-6-08More baby neopets have been added, be sure to get yours added as well! Due to the quantity of certain species of baby neopets, species with more than 20 babies are closed (currently only kougras are a closed species). However, as the directory grows, these species may open up again. I am searching for affiliates and baby places, so please neomail me if you have one or know of any!

Note: Please remember that all of the information on caring for your baby neopet located in this guide is for fun, and not necessary absolutely nothing will happen to your baby neopet if you do not follow these guidelines, however I think it is fun to pretend.
Introduction
You've made your trip to the rainbow fountain, and now all of your other pets are staring at this small, wet ball of fur you are holding. What now? You can't put your adorable baby acara into that big Haunted Woods themed room that used to be theirs, or feed them those gooey peanutbutter sandwiches they used to love, can you guest? This guide will show you how to make your neohome a happier place for you and your baby, and still not spend too many neopoints.
Getting a Baby
Here are some ways to get a baby paint brush:
- Paint your neopet with a baby paint brush. You may find these paint brushes at the hidden tower for 600,000 neopoints and at the trading post for around 590,000.
This is what a baby paint brush looks like.
Sometimes people will try to trick you into
thinking this is a baby paint brush, but it is a Plushie Baby Paint Brush that can't turn your neopet into a baby.
- Have your pet zapped by boochi. This is a random event.
- Use a flask of rainbow fountain water/get a fountain faerie quest (ffq)
- Give your pet a morphing potion. Here are the potions and their prices according to jellyneo:

A lot of people decide not to save for a baby paint brush because they think it will take too long. It is very possible! Either Demersneo or tomboy1129311 have lists of links to do daily and a few tips on ways to save money. Remember that one of the easiest ways to earn neopoints is by playing games, so choose a few to play daily and remember to always do the featured game for double neopoints. I am no where near rich, and I have managed to save for a baby neopet twice, so I am sure you can do it!
Remember when you are trying to decide what type of baby neopet to get that all of the baby neopets have been redrawn. This is important
to remember so that you can avoid a surprise when your neopet gets painted! Looking at various baby neopets in the directory (though some are still the old drawings) is a good idea. Thanks needsomethingtodoxxx for reminding me of this!
Furnishing the Nursery
Bedroom:
You'll need a place for your new guy,so
why not make them a nursery? ayame_23
has a helpful guide that I used to
decorate my nursery. Nurseries can be
fairly cheap. A playpen and a cot (crib)
could cost you no more than 6000
neopoints! Be creative! There are tons of
fun furniture items out there that are
good themes for a nursery, such as plushie
and petpet!
It is also important to keep dangerous
plants such as Geraptiku Fly Traps (thanks
ghostred99 for reminding me of this) out
of your homes and when you are designing
your yard, remember to steer clear of
pointy and poisonous plants. | Examples:

Feeding your Baby
Food:
AAAHHHHHHH! Those gooey chocolate
covered peanuts and hot dogs that
your neopet loves aren't such a
good idea anymore! To avoid a dull
pallet of baby food, try some cheaper
alternatives such as:
- plain omlette (three servings)
- strawberry jelly (two servings)
- tchea fruit
- musho mushy peas
Many well priced food items can
be purchased at the Food Shop that
are good for your baby, such as
milk, carrots (once blended,of
course),and eggs. All of which
are around the same price as a jar
of baby food. Providing fun, new
foods for your baby will keep them
entertained and it is likely that
they will enjoy meal time more.
It is also important to remember to
stay away from poisonous and rotten
foods such as Poisonous lollipop,
and rotten omlette. Thank you so much
gaslighter01 for reminding me of this! | Stay away from:

Notice:
One of the most dangerous foods for baby neopets is the hot dog. Regardless of the type of hot dog, they are all easy for your pet to choke on. Sorry Hubert, but your tasty hot dogs need to wait until they're a bit older!
Toys for Your Baby
Toys:
Similair to buying food or decorating a
nursery, buying toys for your new baby
neopet will be easier than you think!
There is no need to rush out and buy all
sorts of fancy baby blocks and pull along
toys; there are plenty of cheap alternatives
Plushies are one of the best and cheapest
types of toys in Neopia. They can be as
cheap as 5 np (blue ixi plushie); and
what could be better for your baby neopet
to snuggle up with than a soft cuddly
plushie? Also, if you want to get other
types of toys for your pets, neoblocks are
around 400np (price changes often between
around 300 and 400np). Remember, always
check the price of an item on the Shop
Wizard before buying it to make sure you
are getting a good deal if you don't already
know the approximate value of that item.
Remember, stay away from toys
that have small pieces, such as music boxes
and puzzles as well as pointy toys such as
toy swords. | Bad Choices:

Saftey
Neohome and Inventory Safety:
It is important to remember that
babies put everything and
anything in their mouths. Be
sure to keep those pesky gross foods
and dung items for your avatar out of
your inventory. If you need to have
one of these items, keep it in your
SDB until you need to use it. This
will avoid an unwanted trip to the
hospital.
This also goes for your neohome.
Keep public rooms such as the living
room and kitchen safe. Make sure
that bedrooms of siblings and other
rooms with things that are dangerous
for baby neopets are locked (if your
baby is clever) or at least with
the door closed. Even if your baby
is extremely intelligent, remember
that it is harder for baby neopets to
do things like carrying heavy objetcts
from place to place and you should
always make sure they are properly
Supervised. Simple steps like these
will keep your baby safer and take a
lot of stress out of your daily lives. | Be careful with:

Buying Them Petpets
Petpets:
Since babies love being around people
and other pets as much as possible,
you may want to consider getting them
a petpet; that way they would never be
lonely. However, you need to be sure
that your baby neopet is mature enough
to handle caring for their own petpet.
At the beginning, you may want them to
start with a low maintenance pet, such
as a plushie or cardboard one.
When buying your baby a petpet remember:
- Type: What type of petpet
do you want to get? Will it be
safe for your baby? One
practical rule of thumb for
buying baby neopets is, if it
has fangs, spikes, or claws,
best stay away.
- Price: You may want to
choose a price range before
shopping, to keep from coming
home with a petpet that cost
as much as your neohome did!
- Maintenance: As mentioned
above, maintenance is a
big issue. You don't want
to end up with a sick or
sad petpet that your baby
can't even take care of. |
Note: all of these petpets are unpainted
