Things that made the first few days easier and more comfortable

As a toddler mom, I am looking for gifts that are good for their developments, sense of self, and confidence building! This is what we are getting our 13 month old twins for Christmas! These gifts are gender neutral and loved into the 5-6 age range for most of them!

As a first time mom I consulted a lot of friends and family before creating my registry. Even though I had a very solid list I had an urgent C-section which none of my friends or family had a c-section so I have product recommendations for both based on experiences from women in all walks of life! Also as someone who STRUGGLED to get their baby to latch and ended up exclusively pumping even though I swore up and down I would exclusively breastfeed I was humbled very quickly when my baby had a tongue tie and jaw tightness that didn’t allow him to easily latch! I worked with an IBCLC for week and a speech language pathologist for our son to work through his latch issues and body tightness! It was a long 8 weeks before I decided to go to solely pumping for ease of going back to work. While my dreams of breastfeeding never took off I do have so many product recommendations for pumping and keeping your sanity.

We love the toys we buy from Fat Brain Toys. They always have such fun ideas that get our kids up and moving and imagining.
