More Mommy Recommendations

After I posted my last 'Recommendation' entry, I thought of even more products that I have found useful in the first few months of my daughters life.

The first few items are clothing items that were useful, especially for diaper changes. Who wouldn't love that?
These are a personal preference, so I'd suggest getting just a couple of each to see if you find yourself 'Loving' or feeling 'Meh' about them.

Sleeper Gowns

Sleeper Gowns
For some it is 'hit and miss'. For me, I loved them. I feel my daughter grew too fast to keep wearing the ones I had, plus the weather here in the first 3 months of her life were crazy! Cold then hot. Gotta love Ohio!







Sleep Bags

For me these were a LIFE SAVER! When the weather was just cold enough for layers, these were the PERFECT clothing item for my little Emi. Put on a onesie, zip them in the sack and they are all snug!
These are also PERFECT for the mommy's that have that debate in their head "blanket or no blanket". Although blankets and any other item/fabrics in your baby's crib/bassinet can be a dangerous SIDS risk.
Also, when your baby gets older (most Sleep Bags are 0-9 months - one size) and you feel more comfortable putting a blanket on them while they sleep OR a swaddle, these Sleep Bags are great because they can't kick them off!

Cloth Diaper Pre-Folds

Cloth Diaper Pre-Folds
This item here is a Mommy Life Hack that is not uncommon. Personally, I do not cloth diaper, but KUDOS to the mommy's that do! I use these for a BURP CLOTH! Easy enough.

Ulubulu Clip

Pacifier Clips
Now I have two personal favorite pacifier clips. Depending on what pacifiers you will go with will depend on which style you will want to use. The Ulubulu Clip will be your most universal clip, as it will fit just about any pacifier brand. I personally like MAM, the elastic end fits through the little holes in the surrounding plastic. They are also good for the ever-so popular hospital-style paci, I preferred the Gumdrop brand because the base doesn't cover baby noses.

Nuby Clip

Unlike the Nuby Clip, which is only good for the pacifiers that have the little flapper-handle (see Avent brand for example) because they have
a wide velcro piece that holds the pacifier itself.

Car Seat Strap Buddy

These next two items are my car seat MUST HAVES.
The Car Seat Strap 'Buddy' helps keep your baby's neck from
flopping over if they fall asleep.

The Carrier Toy Bar is fun to have if you need a distraction.
My daughter is 5 1/2 months old and she pulls on the middle flower
all by herself and she LOVES it. They also have a more neutral or boy version.

Product Recommendations: Starter Items Part 1

As a new mom I have watched dozens of videos on YouTube, read multiple blogs through Pinterest pins, and made so many lists of products you MUST have for a baby that it's enough to pull your hair out.
But don't sweat it, momma! You will not only get into your own routine, but you will find the products you find yourself using daily if not weekly!

I have been doing a lot of thinking and trying to come up with a decent list of products that I've found useful for my little Emileah. We all have our opinions and our favorites and these are just a few of my own...in this post any way. The more I think of, the more posts I will write for you!

Hope these items help!

Munchkin Steam Guard Electric Baby Bottle Sterilizer

Sterilizer:
My first product of recommendation would have to be this bottle sterilizer. I got mine from Target. It is electric (plug in) and doesn't take up a lot of counter space. It really comes in handy with those bottle nipples, pacifiers, baby spoons and bottles. This is definitely a must have!
**DO NOT PUT TEETHERS IN STERILIZER! I learned the hard way. They melt.

Medicine Despenser:

My next product of recommendation is the 

Safety 1st Comfort Check Pacifier Thermometer. 

The SUPER find would be the medicine dispenser that 

comes along with it. It is SO much easier than using the 

syringe that often comes with infant medicines.

*NOTE: When your child is scheduled to get any series of 
shots at their Pediatrician, I HIGHLY recommend giving them 
Infant Tylenol PRIOR to the appointment. I learned the hard 
way when Emileah got her first set of shots. She was in so much 
pain and was so stiff from the discomfort. Under 2 years old,
 the recommended dose is 2.5 TEASPOONS. 
DOSE FOR TYLENOL ONLY!
