My favorite products I use daily. I'm a 19-year-old first-time mom so I did a ton of research on the best quality products you need. Some of these products you don't need for a newborn but they're convenient for me. I'm still new to this but these have worked for me so far and I think new moms would find this helpful. I wish you the best of luck if you're a new parent!!

I didn’t want to go the medication all the time route for teething and searched for more natural or cleaner options for medications. I also had a ton of Teethers that were given or recommended by my son’s physical therapist after we had his tongue tie released at 14 weeks old. She gave me many she uses to encourage tongue movement and exploration, as well as simply helping to relieve some teething pain and discomfort.
