Baby Must Haves

What and Why??

Solly Baby Wrap  :: When you have first child, learning how to do things while holding a baby becomes a habit and you suddenly don’t have to think about it anymore. With the second child you will not only be trying to hold the babe but also give your toddler your full attention at the same time. Such as helping your other little get their milk, pushing them in the swing at the park, etc. That is when this little life saver will become such a HUGE necessity!!!

Carseat Canopy:  This little number comes in handy for three reasons in my case, and probably yours too! First, most typically during the day, to block the sunlight when your little babe is trying to sleep. Second, is great for when your baby is a newborn and you want everyone to keep their hands off of them! Last, on windy days or chilly days! It keeps that cold brisk breeze from getting in, giving mama one less worry!

Belly Buds: I recently was introduced to this product and I am kinda obsessed! It attaches to your belly so that your baby can hear music or someones voice while in the womb. Also, giving everyone else in the room peace from having to listen to it as well! All you have to do is register it and you can download music or have someone (ie. traveling husband, far away grandparents) record their voice online from any location! How neat is that?? Esp. for military families! 😉

Nursing Pillow: This pillow is amazing for its name obviously! It helps support the baby while breastfeeding to keep your bicep from wanting to cry! Trust me, I remember those days!! Yes, a 8 pound baby does get heavy after a while! But I also love it when your baby is a little older but not yet sitting up! It props them up to look around at their surroundings and get curious about what is going on around them!

Baby Leggings: So, when I first saw these I literally thought, WHY didn’t I think of that! So as a new mom, or very experienced mom at that, you will be changing diapers every hour!! You start getting tired of taking the pants on and off, and unbuttoning 15 buttons of the onsie! Thats when these leggings come in handy! You can your your babe in a tee and these leggings (diaper exposed) for when you are just hanging around the house! Babe stays warm and your diaper changing time is cut in half!! I also love them for when crawling starts! We have hard wood floors in this house, and had tile in our other house! Having a little padding on the knees absolutely helps!

Bump Nest: Words can not explain the comfort of this pillow, belly bump or not!! This pillow up until this point has helped with my sciatica more than I can tell you! It keeps your hips from falling into weird positions and also keeps me from rolling onto my stomach so that I don’t hurt my back more! As the belly grows it still helps prevent rolling onto your belly (not that you really can anymore). But also helps you stay comfortable and get a good nights sleep! We all know how much sweeter we are after great sleep!

7am Enfant Stroller Hamper: Why do I love this bag? Well one, it hooks onto my stroller! Two, I can rinse it off to wash it! Three, it fits EVERYTHING! My husband likes it because it doesn’t look like a diaper bag, at all! But we also like it because we can take it to the beach, park or gym and know it will be so easy to clean up after!
