3 x mom sharing what I think is most necessary for baby and mom
Holds a lot without taking up too much space on your counter
Better than muslin or icky feeling microfiber burp cloths. They are super soft, absorb everything and are easy to clean
Orighty 8 Pack Coral Fleece Baby Burp Cloths
Such a life saver!! My colicky baby finally got some relief after trying all the other gripe waters. It does stain so use carefully but I’ll take that over the non stop crying
Colic Calm Infant Gripe Water, 2 fl oz
I was obsessed with this scent with my baby boy so I had to get again for baby girl. It smells soooo good. It is a bit strong for my new babies skin so be careful if your baby’s is extra sensitive like mine. I mostly use it on her hair and it doesn’t...
Noodle & Boo Super Soft Baby Lotion
The only paci my ebf baby will take
MAM Original Baby Pacifiers 0-6 Months, 2 Pack
I didn’t want to give in to the hype when I had my 4 year old but this time my newborn had such a bad rash on her face I had to try it and I’m so mad I didn’t get it sooner. It seriously cures any skin condition my kids have had. And I really believe...
TUBBY TODD All Over Ointment Baby Eczema Cream 2 Pack
I hated the mamaroo swing I had when my 4 year old was born so I decided to go with the ingenuity swing this time. This model doesn’t take up as much space at the other one does and my baby has liked it so far.
ConvertMe Swing-2-Seat Portable Swing Raylan
I saved this stroller after I got it when my son was a year old and finally got to use it as a bassinet stroller with my baby and I like it a lot. Of course you can use your car seat as well which I love.
Graco Nest Stroller
Idc idc idc pampers are the best diapers. I’ve tried many and nothing else compares. The swaddlers kind are so soft and don’t get hard and lumpy when they get wet like some others.
Pampers Swaddlers
I get why car seat buckles are so hard to open so I won’t complain. I’ll just buy this tool every time
UnbuckleMe Car Seat Buckle Release Tool
EBF Life
I’m exclusively breastfeeding for the second time. Pumping to build a freezer stash bc I’ll be returning to work soon. I’m only investing on the items I truly need so I don’t waste $ and end up with a bunch of stuff to get rid of.
Sometimes I just need to empty one side out and don’t feel like getting the spectra out or washing so many parts this does the job. It comes with a 24mm cup but can be switched out with most of the other brands from what I’ve seen.
Medela Harmony Manual Breast Pump
I’m going back to work soon and don’t want to have my supply dip from not having my baby directly on so I got these and they seem to do the job. I mainly got them because they’re not as bulky as most of the others and I can wear them while I work wit...
Medela Magic Inbra™ Wearable Breast Pump
I put these directly on the pump to fill. Love love love the temp sensor and the spout.
