For any mothers out there planning on breast feeding, this little silicone cup can not only save you from engorgement, mastitis and leaking in those early months, but it’s also a great way to begin building a milk supply without having to pump. I remember in the early days when I felt like all I was doing was feeding around the clock, it gave me a bit of relief knowing I was beginning to build a stash to eventually give myself a break in the future. Having the extra supply was also a great way for my husband to be able to participate in mealtimes as well.
Boppy Newborn Lounger and Covers
The boppy is something everyone has heard of and typically makes everyone’s list of necessities for a new parent. But, the Boppy Newborn Lounger was not on my radar until a close friend gifted it to me at my baby shower. Little did I know how extremely handy this little pillow puff would become! It’s a soft safe nest to place your little one when you need to be hands free for a moment and replicates the feeling of being in the womb so they are comforted and cozy. This was something that we didn’t know we needed until we needed it and truly was a lifesaver from that first week he was born all the way up to 4 months or so when he started figuring out how to move and explore on his own. Hint, purchase a couple soft neutral covers to keep it clean, chic and matching your home.
This super soft and sustainable baby brand is one of our son’s favorites for pajamas! He loves the footie style which is great on its own in warmer months or layered under a sleep sack as the colder months approach. The easy zipper access, fleece lined footies and scratch preventing hand covers make it a parenting dream for bedtime. We love the adorable and playful prints and just ordered the Environmental Protection print for his next size up! I can’t wait to have him grow into it!
I hope this list helps you to get excited about all things baby! You got this!
