JJ Cole Carseat Cover: I got this in graphite to match her car seat, and I'm seriously obsessed with this. Not only do I have tons of mommies asking me where I got it from, but it is inexpensive, easy to clean, and INCREDIBLY warm! After hours of scouring the web for a snowsuit for a 3 pound baby and coming up short, this was my only alternative. She doesn't even need a coat on...that's how super efficient this thing is! I seriously can't say enough good things about it.
Boon Lawn Countertop Drying Rack: As an exclusive pumper, this has been invaluable. All of those little pump pieces and all of the little pieces to her Born Free bottles never get lost. Not, to mention, the flower accessories I bought for it look so adorable. It's like art for your counter. So cute.
Burt's Bees Baby Bee Bath Products: I can't accurately describe to you the yummy-ness of these products. Every time I give Layla a bath and I put lotion and oil on her I just want to eat her up! (I love her so!) These are all natural and gentle on her sensitive skin. I've been using the oil on her scalp after the first sign of cradle cap, and now there's not a single flake to be had! At night, I put the calming lotion on her and I definitely think it helps relax her. Their powder is also talc free - which is a total plus in my book!
Britax B-Agile and B-Safe Travel System: I got this in black because I'm not a huge fan of all of my gear being pink or blue and covered in characters...just not my thing. Plus, I can use this again in the future, no matter what the gender. So it's win-win. This stroller. Is it possible to be in love with a stroller? I think as a mom, it's totally okay. This stroller can be steered with a FINGER! It's amazing. It's super light-weight, pops open and closes with one hand, and the canopy is huge! I love it. The only downside is that you have to buy all of the accessories, including the tray, separately. I ended up buying the tray and the stroller organizer. The organizer is seriously bomb. Two cup holders AND a closing pocket in the middle. Can you tell how much I love this stroller? The car seat is awesome. In truth, it was one of the highest rated car seats with the lowest weight requirements, so it was a natural contender. So glad I got this system, though. So easy to use and so stylish.
Soothie Pacifiers: AKA: Choochies. No one in my family knows where the nickname came from, we just know that's what they are. I have a huge mason jar full of these suckers (haha) on her dresser/changing table. I always grab some when Babies R Us has them B1G1. She has taken a choochie since she was born. I have tons of pictures of her tiny little face being dwarfed by these. Too much adorableness. She holds them in all by herself, too! I feel like I won the parent lottery!
Fisher Price Snugabunny Swing: After MUCH deliberation over swings and bouncers, these were the winners. I love this swing (the bouncer is awesome, too)! Because Layla has pretty bad reflux, a lot of her sleeps are spent in her swing and bouncer. At night she's in her crib, but naps are spent in this. It's comfy and cozy and I wish they made it in adult size. She's just now starting to see the mirror globe and birdies at the top, and it's so cute to see her curiosity! The only downside (and it's not even a big deal) is that the motor that spins the birdies around is a bit loud...but like I said before, my kid needs noise to sleep, so it works out. The swing swings pretty high on the lowest setting, but I'm gonna wait it out and see if it's just because my kid only weighs four pounds. Haha The bouncer has an awesome vibrate function that she LOVES and falls asleep to. So, both are huge assets in this house.
Halo Sleepsack Swaddle: Layla has been sleeping in these since she was in the PCU. They're really warm and cozy, and she really seems to like them. I like these because she doesn't require a blanket once she's in them, which puts me at ease, since she's a wiggle worm. They also wash up well. I HIGHLY recommend latching the velcro onto the flap before washing...otherwise everything in the washer will be all but super glued to the damn thing.
Hope this helps all you mommies (and daddies) out there! I'm always in search of amazing baby products, so if you have some that you love, leave me comments and let me know!
