All Things Pregnancy
Things that I think either helped me through pregnancy wether it prepared me for baby to be here or is helping now in recovery
Keep in mind that I’m not a doctor and have literally no medical experience so always talk to your OB!! This is just what worked for me, I didn’t have any vaginal tearing and I pushed for at most 30 minutes
I started taking a capsule orally every n...
Evening Primrose Oil
I started drinking a cup every morning from the start of my second trimester all the way till I was due. The main rest think it helped was because when I was pushing I was pretty easily able to move her into position without much resistance or issue
Raspberry Leaf Tea - Menstrual Cramp & Pregnancy Support
Any yoga ball will do but I made sure to take time when getting ready (like doing make and hair, brush teeth) to grab my yoga ball and sit knees apart, back straight, and rotate my hips in a circle both ways, in figure eights both ways and I would al...
Yoga Ball
General Baby Care/ Diaper Bag
After trying Huggies, hello bello, and Millie moon diapers these have been the ones we’re sticking with. They’re soft, thick, and most importantly holds blow outs!
Rascals
Fun fact my husband is very picky about wipes so his criteria was that they couldn’t get super stick together when pulling them out, gentle ingredients, soft, thick and won’t rip. So far out of the 3 wipe brands we’ve tested these have been the best ...
Unscented Plant-based* Clean Conscious™ Baby Wipes
Bedtime
Everything that has helped us so far with bed time (currently in bedside bassinet)
My baby loves sleeping with her hands by her face, we tried the og kind of swaddle where everything was tucked and 1. She would get so frustrated that she would almost roll herself😰 and 2. Is was a bit of a hassle when it came to changing her every ...
Newborn Swaddles - Arms Up Swaddles for Infants
Our sweet girl has a hard time falling asleep when it is quiet so this has been super helpful! At one point we basically pulled an all nighter and it sounds dramatic but it wasn’t until I turn our sound machine up louder was when she finally calmed d...
Hatch Rest Baby Sound Machine & Night Light 2nd Gen
2
I know using a binkie is a bit controversial, but our girl took one instantly in the hospital and it really helps soothe her and fall asleep. Plus it helps reduce the risk of SIDS so why not? As long as it helps her and comforts her. As for the binki...
Shop Philips Avent Pacifiers & Soothie Snuggles
A bit pricey but this is our bassinet. I mainly go it because of the fact that the wall lowers and I can easily reach in and get her for night time feeds or if she needs anything. It has a storage basket where we keep extra mattress sheets, puddle pa...
3 in 1 Adjustable Portable Baby Crib Bassinet
As a new mom let me tell you the amount of anxiety I had/ have about our little girl sleeping, in the beginning I don’t think I slept for the first like two nights because I was so worried and scared that she would just stop breathing. After many sle...
Dream Sock® – Owlet US
Honestly any heating pad will do, but we but this in her bassinet while I’m rocking her in her nursery so she isnt transitioning from a warm mommy to a cold mattress (obviously take it out before putting your baby in)
Heating Pads in Health and Medicine - Walmart.com
Any portable changing pad will do, but we put this down before we change her throughout the night, in case of any pee accidents (we’ve had many)
Changing Pads
This helped so much with baby acne! At first when it was really bad I would squirt some on a baby wash clothe and rub her face morning and night. Now I’ll do it as part of her night time routine followed by some aquaphor if she has a flare up!
