These are the things I’ve narrowed down that I actually used while at the hospital having my babies!
I didn’t have one of these my first time around, but with our second I did and all of my nurses were so impressed by how much light it gave off and saved us from having to turn on bright lights during middle of the night check-ins!

These are some of my favorite baby jams!
