I have a couple and like the swing I remain one downstairs plus one upstairs. I personally use the newest Boppy mainly to possess nursing, but have plus tried it in order to prop the little one upwards immediately after a feeding (when you’re I am sitting near to the woman/him), and to help seated right up whenever kid is actually very first learning.

Muslin swaddle covers: We have a plethora of baby blankets, but the Aden and Anais blankets are by far a favorite. They’re HUGE and lightweight muslin so they’re perfect for swaddling, especially in the warmer months. They’re great to use as a clean place for baby to lay when we’re out and about and as a stroller or car seat cover. I’ve also bought undyed natural muslin from the fabric store and use that as a swaddle blanket. That muslin is less stretchy than the a + a blankets so it’s harder for baby to kick its way out of the swaddle.

Cloth diapers: These suckers have so many uses. I have a stack of Gerber brand cloth diapers and use them as burp cloths. They’re so absorbent (as they should be – after all they’re diapers!) and really help me protect my own clothes when I’m burping the baby. Stasa and Tommy have been the queen and king of spit up in our house, so we go through bibs like crazy. These diapers have helped catch a lot of the spit up. I bought our batch of diapers back when I had Stasa and they’ve gone through the wash multiple times over several years and have help up well.

Olive-oil: Thank God Anne told me about this stuff. I’ve replaced my beloved lanolin with it and have used it to heal cracked nipples, as a lube on my pump flanges, as a hand lotion, to help rid Tommy of cradle cap, as a hair mask for Lexi to help her dry scalp, and as a replacement for butter when cooking and baking. LOOOOOOVE this stuff.

Greatest crib layer: I however like so it layer more than almost every other crib sheet. It’s a water-resistant pad, mattress mat and layer all in one. We have a couple of these types of and don’t need to have even more. I continue a cute typical crib sheet on the bed mattress and you may next place the greatest cot sheet more you to. The brand new snaps ensure it is very easy to alter, especially in the middle of the night while the fresh mattress try lower.

I exchanged one into the and you may had a single Baby Pattern jogger and you may liked it

I prefer it for all three kids and track the stats and you will vaccinations and allergic reactions. Whenever Lexi is actually an infant and now which have Tommy I’ve been utilizing it to trace diapers and you may feedings. Sooooooo much easier to have the ability to tell your physician exactly how the newborns dining as well as how of a lot diapers he or she is undergone in a day. I’ve as well as used it to track fevers and problems towards female, that has been useful because I could truthfully share one advice toward nurse or doctor once they ask. I’ve it downloaded so you can one another my cellular phone and apple ipad and you can want to Tom and that i was indeed on the same iTunes account thus he may get it for the their phone and you may ipad, also.

Kids Link app: I got this application ahead of I had Lexi and you may love it

Strollers: We’ve gone through six different strollers since Stasa was born. Go ahead, give me the side-eye. I know it sounds crazy and if I knew then what I know now we would have only ever bought two maybe three strollers. We started out with the Graco travel system stroller which was bulky and heavy and not great for outdoors. We put many many miles on that sucker, but then realized we’d need a double stroller once Lexi was born. So I went out and tried multiple doubles and really really wanted the Phil and Teds double stroller, but Tom didn’t want to pay the price for it so we ended up with a Baby Trend double jogger. It was HUGE and HEAVY and awkward and barely fit through our front door. Forget fitting it in the trunk of the car. Before Lexi was born we bought two other strollers: a Chicco umbrella stroller and a Snap n Go. When she was born we had four strollers. I listed both joggers on Craigslist in the hopes of selling those and using that money towards a new double. I was so happy to see both of those strollers go and even happier that I found a used Phil and Teds double stroller on Craigslist for only a couple of hundred dollars (much much less than what it costs new). Once I was pregnant with Tommy I bought the car seat adapter for the P&T so we could use it for him, too. We primarily use the P&T stroller when we go out, but kept the Snap n Go and Chicco umbrella stroller for when we take a singleton out with us.
