Baby Favorites

I will have to check out those nursing bras when the time comes. The ones I used with my son weren’t very attractive. A nice bra goes a long way in making you feel good about yourself! I also really love that nursing cover! I used a Bebe au Lait but I like this more because the other showed my back some. Great post! Can I also just say how amazing you look! I know you aren’t quite back to where you were before the baby but he is still brand new and you already look fantastic! Keep up the good work!

My baby girl was born 9/17 and the sound machine has been a life saver as well as the vibrating rock and play!!! I have a ring sling but haven’t gotten the hang of it yet 🙁 and I made my own pumping bra by cutting holes in an old sports bra lolol. Not the prettiest thing but none of them are and it works! Congratulations on your new squish and best of luck!!!

This is such a great list! We used the ergo baby carrier but I’m tempted to try the solly wrap for the next one. It’s so much cuter and it looks pretty comfy too.

The sound machine has been a lifesaver for us. We’ve traveled a few times with our 5 month old and I feel like the consistent sound brings familiarity to a new place.

Congrats on the new addition!

I’ve got a boba wrap, but I’ve heard tons of great things about the solly wraps! They are so pretty! The boba wrap has a bit of a learning curve with how stretchy they are, but once I learned how to use it, it was awesome! No sound machine at my house – I’ve got two barky dogs so lil man had no choice but to learn to deal with sound. He sleeps right though anything 🙂 I bought knock-off aden + anais swaddlers from walmart. They didn’t start out crazy soft, but they’re getting softer with every wash. And they’re so handy for all kinds of stuff. Car seat cover, blanket, swaddler, nursing cover, etc. Just wanted to toss that out there in case anyone is afraid of the price of the real ones. I’m SO jealous of your mamaroo! Our aunts chipped together and got us a swing that was almost as expensive, but since this is baby number one, I sort of wish we had gotten a mamaroo instead! They’re smaller, quieter and have way more functions than our big fisher price guy. For anyone interested in those, heads up because there IS a difference between the rockaroo and the mamaroo! 🙂

Thanks for this list Cara! I’m 6 months prego with our first child and don’t even know where to start with these kinds of things! So overwhelming. What stroller do you like best?? I’ve had my eye on that car seat for awhile! Do you use the Quinny Buzz Xtra stroller with it? Thank you again for this list! Love it all 🙂 and congrats on your sweet little guy!

That sound machine rocks! Best tip — PUT BATTERIES IN IT ALSO! If
Your power goes out your baby/toddler will still sleep through the storm!

Congrats on your doll, he’s darling!

Great list! We have almost everything on this list for our new 6 week old boy! My only question is about the Costco wipes. ..seems like the best deal but then I read recent reviews on the wipes and they complain of a bad smell…any experience with that? I’m sure they would return them if it was a problem.

Costco wipes r totally the best! I think they smell fine. My kids r 6 and 9 ans I still buy them too. Funny story… I used a name brand wipe for a couple years. One evening at a restaurant we started talking to another couple with babies and right there in an eating environment the husband said, “My hands would smell like poop even if I used wipes, but not with Costco wipes !” I figured if it meant so much to him to say it out loud while eating I would forgive the social woops and check them out. He was right!!! Second best lesson was getting professionally bra fitted 1 year and 3 years after nursing. Things just keep changing! Great list. Huge congrats on the precious bundle!! .
