🌈 Special Needs Mom Picks: Sensory & Development Favorites

Ealeanor

Travelling with young children is not something for the faint hearted! Especially on long car trips or international flights. Recently, I moved abroad with my young family and we have done several trips in the last year between the two countries. The below products are my non negotiables to pack when travelling with my toddler. Its important to have a variety of toys and items for them to play with so that they don't get board or over stimulated. These products are guaranteed to keep your little one regulated, happy and entertained - ensuring less stress and more success for your journey :)

Christina Nguyen

I wanted to make a list of items that are must haves for a new mama. No frills and extras. Just the things that you need to get started when you have a newborn. I did my registry through Amazon which was so helpful to have everything delivered or even on autoship. There are so many different brands out there. After having most of my kids in my 20s I felt very lost as a “new” mom over 35. Hopefully this helps someone!
