I'd love to present my breastfeeding wisdom to you! This is from my personal insight, breastfeeding my two babies until a little over 1 year, working as a labor and delivery nurse where I help new mothers in the first few hours of life to breastfeed, and working along side lactation nurses! As always, do what is best for YOU!
When preparing for your baby's arrival, creating a well-stocked and organized changing table is essential for smooth and stress-free diaper changes. In this post, part of our Nesting Series, we’ll be covering all the must-have items for a changing table, with a twist—since we're keeping ours in the bathroom, we'll also include some baby bathing essentials and medications that will come in handy. If your changing table is in the baby's bedroom, feel free to adjust the list to suit your needs, but we hope this gives you some ideas on how to create a convenient, functional space for your little one.

Using a mix of interactive toys, songs, books, and apps made learning Spanish feel fun and natural for my kids instead of like a chore. The engaging songs and playlists helped them absorb vocabulary through repetition, while board books and flashcards reinforced everyday words with bright pictures they loved. Interactive toys and games — especially those that speak Spanish or turn learning into play — gave them confidence to repeat new words and phrases, and digital apps added an extra layer of excitement with colorful characters and simple lessons. Together, these tools created an immersive yet playful environment that kept them curious and excited about learning Spanish .

As a new mom I have some things I could absolutely not live without. These are my hands down non-negotiable items
I had so many items on my registry that I didn’t use or had to find an alternative product once our baby actually arrived because they did not work as expected or at all for our baby. After working with an IBCLC I learned so much about bottles, nipples, and pacifiers. I am also a little crunchy so glass bottles were a must for me as were herbal remedies to combat all the toxicity in the world.
I hope you love these things as much as we do!
