with a baby, I've learned everything is about right now because next week things can be so different. Also every baby is so different and varies in what they love/hate. Here are a few overpriced baby gizmos that we are loving right now...
(I intended on inserting pictures but Luke decided he's more important so you just get links)
- Rock N Play Sleeper- Luke slept in it every night for 3 months. I'm transitioning him to his PNP now but will use it to hang out. It keeps him close and on an incline. I think he likes how snuggled in he is compared to the openess of the crib
- Halo Swaddle Sacks- he breaks out of other swaddles but I love the Halo wearable blankets and sleep sacks for nighttime
- Cloth Diapers- we use a mix of Green Mountain Diaper Prefolds, Thirsties Covers, Grovia Covers and AIOs (not a huge fan of the AIO), and Fuzzibunz Pockets. I think we like the fuzzibunz the best, and I prefer cloth to disposables for sure
- Milkie- I was reluctant to buy a Milkie because I thought it seemed overpriced but I LOVE it. I am able to collect 1-2 ounces everytime I nurse him which ends up being at least one bottle a day I don't have to pump
- My Breast Friend Pillow- Luke likes to lounge when he nurses and doesnt like to be held (which is a pain if I'm not home). He likes to lay on the pillow and eat his meals. I like the BreastFriend better than the boppy because it is firmer and hooks on so the baby doesn't slip between the pillow and me.
-Travel Boppy- since he won't nurse without the pillow and we travel so much, the travel boppy was also a great investment for us. It's the same size as the regular boppy but folds into its own bag
- A&A muslin blankets- we've rarely used them for swaddling but they are perfect for hanging over the carseat or stroller, as a summer blanket, nursing cover, etc. There's always a use for them
- Dr. Brown's Glass Bottles- dave prefers not to use plastic so we've tried a few different glass bottles. Luke likes these the best. They do have more pieces but they aren't too annoying if you have a dishwasher basket.
- MAM pacifiers- I really didn't think I was going to give him one but boy does he like his paci
- Chico Snap N Go- I wasnt sure I'd need 2 strollers but I like having the options and find myself using the Chico Caddy pretty often, it's light, convenient and has a huge basket underneath
