Motherhood is hard enough.
Baby Registries can be overwhelming! There are so many products on the market and it can be hard to know what you actually need. Here are some products that I absolutely love.
FOR MAMA
Earth mama nipple butter
For breastfeeding, because ladies - the nipple pain is REAL! This one is great bc it’s super safe for mama and babes
Haakaa
If you're planning on breastfeeding, this is the best thing ever. It catches the letdown on the opposite side you're feeding on. It is an awesome way to store up milk, especially in the beginning when pumping is SO HARD because our babes eat on demand and so frequently!
Stay Dry Disposable Nursing Pads
The leaking is real and goes right through your bra and clothes - trust me on this one!
Kindred Bravely Nursing Bra
So comfy! I wear mine all the time and always wear them to bed! Sleeping with no bra is NOT comfortable, especially once your milk comes in!
BLANQI Everyday Maternity Leggings
I lived in leggings during pregnancy - especially the bigger I got. These are super comfortable and have great stretch and compression which helped my legs which were always swelling!
BLANQI Everyday Highwaisted Postpartum Leggings
Just like I lived in leggings during pregnancy, I live in them after - I love the high waist on these. Makes pulling up your shirt for breastfeeding a lot more comfy.
Simple Wishes Hands Free Pumping Bra
Makes pumping super easy and more convenient as you can massage your breasts which help with collection or scroll your phone looking at sweet pictures or videos of your babe which also stimulates production!
Chantelle Nursing Bra
It took me a while to find a comfy nursing bra and I could wear everyday. I have this in both black and nude and love it! Super comfy and very functional
Spectra S1 Pump
I decided to go with this pump because of the ability to pump on the go. It is rechargeable and you don’t need to have it plugged in to use it. Ease to use and clean and has great suction. Remember when you’re looking for a pump to check with your insurance company - they are usually covered!
FOR BABES
Dohm Sound Machine
We use both the sound machine and baby susher for nighttime sleep and naps. Helps drown out random noises that can startle or wake baby. ((We have TWO because my husband can now not sleep without one!!))
Baby Shusher
Does the sushing for you! We set the timer to 30 minutes and then this turns off and the sound machine stays on all night!
Rohm Portable Sound Machine
Portable sound machine. Ideal for travel, car rides, grocery shopping with a sleeping baby, noisy restaurants, etc.
Miracle Blanket Swaddle
We double swaddled Vincent until he could roll over! We used this one first and the swaddle me swaddle on top of it. Once we found these products he started sleeping so much longer at night (like 6-8+ hours at a time)!
SwaddleMe Swaddle
We double swaddled Vincent until he could roll over! We used the Miracle Blanket first and this swaddle me swaddle on top of that. Once we found these products he started sleeping so much longer at night (like 6-8+ hours at a time)!
Boppy Nursing Pillow
I found this to make nursing Vincent so much easier. Bonus, it can also be used for babes who hate tummy time!
Gerber Cloth Diapers (BURP CLOTHS)
No not for cloth diapers - FOR BURP CLOTHS! The fancy ones are really cute, but I found they don't really absorb that well. They aren't the prettiest, but honestly I think they're the best.
Changing Pad Liners
Changes get messy and these save you from having to wash the actual changing pad cover every time an accident happens!
Puj Tub
We tried so many infant tubs and fell in love with this one. Keeps babe secure and from sliding everywhere. Fits in most sinks!
Lovevery Play Gym
I cannot say enough great things about this mat. Vincent plays on it all the time and LOVES it. It also has so many benefits developmentally for your babes!
Puracy Natural Stain Remover
Because those baby poop stains are REAL and so hard to get out! I love this and it's natural and pure so won't be too harsh on baby's skin, but it does the trick on the poop! I rinse and scrub with it in the sink before throwing it in the wash with his other stuff.
Summer Infant Bath Seat
Once our little one got a little bigger and more wiggly, we needed something to help keep him safe in the bathtub. We love this so much and allows him to play and splash around, us wash him, and keep him safe and secure!
Uppababy Minu Travel Stroller:
Compact, Lightweight, Easy to fold. Comfy for baby and great for travel!
Babyzen YOYO
Can fold up small enough to fit in an overhead compartment on a plane! Super compact and great for those who travel by air a lot.
Self Feeder
When it comes time for solids we were looking at ways to encourage Vincent to feed himself. We love this! We put different fruits or foods in it and love watching him discover and explore!
