Our baby has been LOVING these swaddles! They’re so soft and thin enough for this summer weather! Their Velcro is perfect, not too loud either! Also, can we talk about the abundance of patterns!

These are our favorite bottles to use at home. They aren’t too heavy and clean really well! I went ahead and just got the 8oz bottles so we wouldn’t have to replace the 4 oz bottles as baby gets older.

Why go to the aquarium when you can bring it to baby!!! This IS baby’s screen time for the time being! Keeps baby hooked for a bit and the music works as background noise once baby decides it’s time to focus on something else!
