So my boyfriend has recently been more open about being an ABDL. I started listening to different podcasts as well as posting and lurking around here. He lives with his parents and can't really be open there, so I was thinking maybe I could help him be a little more open at my apartment. I do have a roommate, so I need suggestions for some little things I could do/buy him to make him feel more at home in my apartment without disturbing or making his secrets known to my roommate.
I've noticed that he's more into the baby boy things rather than toddler or older. So I was wondering if sippy cups or bottles might be a good idea? Which ones are best for my college/ramen noodle budget?
I'm pretty crafty. So I thought about crocheting him a baby blanket. What are some things I should be sure to include? Like textures, designs, size, etc?
Anything else? Like toys, games, or movies?
OMG you sound like an awesome girlfriend. Congrats to you!
Ok, so yes, I personally feel like every AB needs a baby bottle, that is just my opinion, but I strongly think it. My recommendation on bottles you can buy would be this model (you should be able to find them in single packs I believe).

Even though it is a baby bottle model, it is still very comfortable for an adult to nurse on because it has a large platex area for the nipple. It is also really easy to nurse on because it has a vent in the back so you don't have to struggle for milk. Amazingly, 9 oz can take a while longer to drink from a bottle than you would expect, so it lasts a decent bit of time as well to drink from. Cool think here, is you can also go buy this model at your local supermarkets often, and as well at walmart. Cheap price, great product.
If you are looking for a pacifier, and you are aiming for cheap, the largest baby sized pacifier that I know of is this one,
http://www.amazon.com/MAM-Silicone-...a_nav_t_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=1NGJ228KXNQQG1K9S8GX, however you can buy adult sized pacifiers as well that are cheap, but I don't personally like them much unless they are ones similar to those available at pacifiersrus (which is fairly expensive). If you want a cheap adult pacifier though, you can get this,
http://www.amazon.com/Baby-Pants-Nu...qid=1458010065&sr=8-3&keywords=adult+pacifier, which is a pretty common base model. Or you can get this,
http://www.amazon.com/ABDL-Blue-Adu...qid=1458010065&sr=8-2&keywords=adult+pacifier, which is both cheap in price, and in quality, it is made by Awwsocute, and realistically, it is still a good deal, but it will likely fall apart faster than others, as well, it seems to have a strange edge on the nipple that isn't terrible, but can be irritating. I still liked mine though, so if you want the cheapest possible adult sized paci, it isn't a terrible deal.
Crocheting a baby blanket is an awesome idea too, just figure out what kind of cartoon characters he likes and do something with that, seems like a large job though, and you might be able to find some prints at the fabric store and just make something out of that rather than how long crocheting might take.
Toys might be a tough topic because toys that can be noisy sometimes are actually a lot of fun, but will be intimidating to him if he is concerned about not letting your room mate discover his little side. If it is a noisy toy, like a rattle, he will probably wish he can try playing with it, but won't actually do it out of fear (at least that is how I would respond), however if you have a TV perhaps you can play a show so the noise drowns out the sound of a rattle or whatever. Otherwise, I would highly suggest getting some stuffed animals for him, however I don't know what he is into, so you really have to dig it out of him as to what types of stuffed animals or toys he would enjoy.
So main thing I thought of when you used the phrase "babyspace" was a literal space. Perhaps if you have a good area, such as the far side of your bed, or an area on your closet floor, you could make a small little crib zone for him. Lay down some cute blankets, find some crib bumpers at the second hand store or a garage sale, and hang some stuffed animals or toys above it. Something that you can clean up easy if you need to, but he knows is his dedicated nap/play zone that you can put him when you are busy with other things in your room, or whatever. Kind of the 'fort' idea I guess. Anyway, just a thought.
