Baby Products You Can't Live Without

These baby products made life a little easier after Sophie’s arrival 3 years ago, and we plan to use them all again with the new baby. Many of these things I didn’t know about before becoming a mom, so I thought I would share this helpful list with you in case you need some ideas for your baby registry. You can click on any of the links below to purchase these products directly from Amazon.

Motorola Connect40 Video Baby Monitor A baby monitor will give you the peace of mind to know that your baby is safe even when you can’t be in the same room. This Mororola model has a 5″ high quality color LCD display and the option to pair with your smart phone. It also has 2-way audio, night vision, a temperature sensor, and remote pan/digital zoom.

Medela Pump in Style Advanced Breast Pump This is the holy grail of breast pumps! Pricy but worth it! I couldn’t have survived without this when I went back to work.

Beco Gemini Baby Carrier
I highly recommend the Beco Gemini. It’s definitely the most comfortable baby carrier on the market! It’s waist strap design and the ability to cross the straps in the back take all the pressure off your shoulders. It offers a front, back or hip carrying position for the baby, and adjusts to fit newborns without a separate infant insert. Plus, it’s invaluable for being able to walk around hands-free.

Grayco Sway Swing
This swing has a gentle, side-to-side swaying motion that soothes and comforts baby. It has 6 swing sweeps and 2 vibration options, and is relatively compact so it won’t take up too much space in your house.

aden + anais Muslin Swaddle Blanket We must’ve received 30 different blankets when Sophie was born but the muslin ones are best for swaddling and snuggling. They are so breathable and lightweight, and you’ll continue to get use out of them even when the baby is too old to be swaddled. Sophie still sleeps with one of hers at 3 years old.

aden + anais Wearable Sleep Sack A zip-up blanket eliminates the danger of the blanket covering the baby’s head while sleeping. Pick up a couple lightweight ones of muslin or cotton for summer and fleece ones for winter.

Boppy Pillow
This is a must-have for nursing mothers. It helps support the baby in the correct position, and can also be used to prop the baby up for sitting or tummy time.

Milkies Milk Trays
These trays are better for freezing breast milk than bags because you can freeze milk in 1 oz. sticks which defrost easily. Using these trays allows you to take out only what you need rather than defrosting a whole bag which could waste milk if you only need a couple ounces.

WeeSprout Silicone Baby Food Trays
I made most of Sophie’s baby food. These trays are perfect for freezing baby food in 1 ounce servings.

Boppy Changing Pad Liners
Just place on of these on the changing table, and if the baby has an accident (which newborns so often do) simply remove the liner and replace it with another so you don’t have to remove and wash the whole changing pad cover. We bought 3 packs of these and it was well worth it.

Bebe au Lait Premium Muslin Nursing Cover
Bebe au Lait has many prints and styles to choose from. They’re made from muslin so are very breathable. The top has boning which allows you to get a clear look at baby while still covering up for privacy.

Medela Quick Clean Micro Steam Bags These bags are great for cleaning bottles and breast pump parts. Simply add water, place the parts in the bag and microwave to kill germs! I used them once a week.

M edela Tender Care Lanolin Cream
If you’re nursing, this is the best lanolin on the market. Don’t bother buying anything else!

BabyGanics Diaper Rash Cream
There’s lot of different diaper creams out there but this one is the best!

Babyganics Baby Shampoo + Body Wash Pump Bottle
This body wash is made from natural products and won’t dry baby’s skin. It can be used as a body wash or shampoo.

Well friends, this is my last post before the baby’s arrival. I will be induced early tomorrow morning! I know my posting will probably be sporadic over the next couple months as I focus on family, but I do have several projects in the works and a few draft posts saved so you will be hearing from me periodically. Please pray for a smooth delivery and healthy baby!
