1. Fisher-Price My Little Lamb Platinum Edition Cradle 'n Swing - LIFESAVER!!!! I didn't initially purchase a swing. I already had two girls who hated swings, I just bought a bouncer, a rock n play, and so many other things, I didn't think I needed it. Wrong baby! My little love bug likes to be held and snuggled...I literally remember holding her, nursing her while doing my makeup with one hand & trying to do my hair a few minutes later. I didn't have more than a few minutes. Shes a great baby but she likes to be held. After looking at the Mamaroo & hearing a lot of feedback I decided to go with this swing. Love, love, love! It has many speed settings, music, nature sounds, swings 3 ways and the best part is it also has a light feature with stars and moons which she loves when the lights off. Not to mention ultra cozy. She lasts long enough in here for mommy to get something done! I got mine from babies r us when she was about 4 weeks old. You'll love it! Retail - $179.99
2. Boppy - If you don't plan on nursing or trying to, I don't see the benefit in this. I did have it with my two older girls, now 7 & 8 when they were babies and loved it. I use mine at night for nursing so its more comfortable its also super convenient to nurse with after you've had a c section for added support. A few times I have propped her up in it, but she slides down quick so I don't feel super safe doing that. When she is a little bigger ill use during tummy time or when she can sit. For now If im up at 2am and my Boppy isn't near I am not happy! Retail - $29.99 plus washable cover
3. Bumbo - This was my #1 favorite thing with my oldest. I literally used this every single day from the moment she could hold her head up. I took it to the beach, I took it to restaurants and sat her in the booth next to me, on the kitchen counter, camping, poolside, everywhere. I knew I needed another one with this baby. The new ones come with seat belts, which didn't before. Berkleigh is still not sturdy enough for hers. I tried for a few minutes the other day and had to take her out! I cant wait to use this with her soon tho. Now that they have trays I am so excited to use it to feed her to. I can bring to my moms house when she watches her so she doesn't have to buy a high chair! Super convenient! Retail - $44.99. Tray sold separate.
4. Arms Reach Co Sleeper - We purchased this so Berkleigh could be right by the bed the first few months. It has pockets for diapers and such since, like me had to move your nightstand, the side goes midway down, which for my bed level fits right up even to it. It does come with leg extenders if your bed is higher or lower. Its great to roll over and have her right there, without the very serious danger of actually having her in our bed between us. She is in her own space, but I can still touch her and grab her easily. It also converts to a full on pack n play later on if I chose to place her in one. Retail - $149.99
5. Wubbanub - Her favorite thing ever! How genius is this?! Binkie attached to a lovey! We use the soothie binkies and have since day one. She loves them and refuses the cute blingy ones I bought or any other kind for that matter. Nope she likes those gaudy suckers from the hospital! Her first Wubbanub was the white lamb, a gift from my mom. Every since that day she wont use anything else. My husband even bought her the longhorn one and she still just wants her lamb! They are machine washable which is great! The binkie is not removable so you may want to have a few of these on hand since they can wear out over time. Its great for babies to hold on to and keeps it from falling out of their mouths all the time. We wouldn't dare leave the house without her lamb. Pure Genius! Retail - $12.99
6. Aden and Anais Classic Snap bibs - Fabulous bibs! Large in size, super absorbent, 100% soft and thick cotton muslin. I just love them! Retail - $19.95 3 pack
7. Cloud B Sleep Sheep - Softest, sweetest lamb youll ever own! Plays 4 sounds from a heartbeat to whale songs. It has two timer settings and a battery pack. We actually keep the sheep attached 100% of the time to her carseat for the car and sometimes ill take out for the stroller. We also have the Gentle Giraffe On The Go which we use in our bedroom in her bed for nighttime. The giraffe just makes different sounds. I highly recommend you get at least one of Cloud B sound animals for a peaceful night! Retail - $25.95
8. Johnson's Hand & Face Wipes - I don't use their other products for baby but I do love these for emergency's. I keep them in the diaper bag for spit up drama. They smell like shea butter heaven and are so soft. Quick easy clean up wipes for her face or whatever the spit up gets on. Retail - $2.54
9. Blooming Bath Baby Bath - I am a sucker for packing and cute things, So when I saw this on Pinterest long before I was pregnant, I pinned it! Cutest thing ever! I have a great kitchen sink for it but this wont work for you if yours is too small or so big that it doesn't have anything to wedge into. I love this and its machine washable. I toss it in the dryer to dry on gentle. Its very cozy & padded for her to feel comfortable drying her baths. Perfect for new babies! We are still using it at 10 weeks & I imagine we will for awhile. Retail - $39.99
10. Ergo baby carrier / Original Collection with infant insert - My sweet girl just loves to be swaddled, snuggled and held, so this is perfect. I use at any store I go into. I pretty much keep in my trunk. I love this because it works for my 5"2 frame and it works for my husband who is 6"4 and uses it all the time around the house. He loves it too and its comfortable for us both. She goes out like a light when shes in her Ergo. I feel like she is well supported inside & lightweight. Best carrier in my opinion and we have a few wraps. Retail - $130
11. Aden and Anais Classic Swaddles - I love these for the same reason I love the bibs. Super soft, lightweight especially for the Arizona Heat, and huge! They are very large So I fold in half to swaddle her. So cozy and breathable muslin. They come in the cutest patterns. Retail - $49.95 4 pack
12. Britax B Ready Stroller - Sigh...I love my stroller. I have the sleek silver one and I am so in love! It clicks in and out easily so you can click in the bassinet attachment or the car seat which may be convenient for some. I personally don't walk her around the stroller in the car seat for health reasons but I like that it has options. It can face both ways, and is the easiest stroller to open and close...although the first time I was out alone with my girls and had to close it, we actually stood in the parking lot and watched a you tube video on how to close it...no lie...I didn't get away with that since my older girls went home and proceeded to tell everyone we knew. Easy ride, nice big wheels and many color options. We also use the Britax B Safe carseat along with it. I am a long, almost 9 year Britax user and I may never sway away. Retail stroller only - $499.99
13. Sophie the Giraffe Teether -Simply because shes so cute, and my ped told us my 10 week old is teething! Help me now!! Apparently she is well loved because shes easy to hold, and hard but soft enough for baby gums. Sophie also comes with many books in her collection, which I love! Retail - $19.99 for Sophie alone
14. Fisher Price Rock n Play - This has replaced my Arms Reach Co Sleeper. Not because I don't love the sleeper but because I bought this from hearing rave reviews and it ended up sitting in my living room, then I bough the swing, etc and wow, I have a lot of stuff now! B also ending up going thru a gross spit up phase and I wanted her inclined. This is in my room, right next to my bed and her Gentle Giraffe is attached to the back of it! She sleeps in here at night now. I think she loves it because its cozy and she feels like she is being held maybe. I also rock it back and forth with my hand if she gets fussy. Soon Ill start going back and forth to the co-sleeper and this just so she doesn't get used to sleeping at an incline so when its time to transition to her crib she wont have a hard time being flat. This is so cozy & I know a million peopl e who swear by theirs. I also love that it folds up super easy. We took out of town with us as her bed already and to my parents house to sleep in. Down the road we will use as our travel bed until she grows out of it. Retail - $44.99
15. Nose Frida Snot Sucker - When I saw the photo circulating online of the old school blue bulb snot sucker that a woman cut in half that was filled with mold and nasty things after she swore she washes it...I tossed it out! I heard about this, but didn't know I actually suck the snot out myself until I first used it. Mmmm....There is actually a replaceable filter you use each time so you don't actually get anything in your mouth. My sweet girl is actually pretty calm when we use the Frida, where as the bulb she freaked out. I think this is much more gentle yet WAY more effective. It looks super weird and sounds even worse, but I promise you its so worth it. I actually used it tonight on her stuffy nose and boy did this get a lot out and clear her stuffy nose up! Retail - $14.99
Those are my top 15 baby products!! I personally use all of the above, even the exact same colors, and highly recommended all of them!
Enjoy and love those babies!!
xoxo
Love the new look
