I feel like I blinked and Briar is now FIVE months. A quarter of the way to one…I’m not even going to let myself go there but instead enjoy all the new and fun things he is doing. Rolling, grabbing, cooing—I can’t get enough of every single stage.
I thought it would be fun to share a current round-up of our favorites from the first few months and why I would recommend each of these items for a mom-to-be.
- Our UPPAbaby VISTA stroller has been the absolute best for hauling three kiddos around. I love how many different options it has with the bassinet, 2 seats, and even his car seat can click into it. It’s easy to set-up and take down as well as fitting through all doorways because of how narrow it is. Last, I also love that even though it may carry three kids at a time, the storage space underneath their seats is still HUGE.
- We are a Pampers family and have loved using them with all three of our babies! I can’t recommend them enough to a new mom for so many reasons. Swadders recently got an upgrade with new Heart Quilts to now be 2x’s softer than before. — it shows because Briar has the most sensitive skin and he has had no problems with Also, Briar is in a diaper almost 24 hours, 7 days a week so knowing that he is wearing a diaper that is extremely soft on his skin is important to me. Because he is always in a diaper, especially for longer stretches in the night, I always look for a diaper that is going to have over-night protection so it can keep him dry over-night. Pampers Swaddlers provide up to 12 hours of protection, and have Pampers Air Channels™ that allow air to reach babies’ skin to help keep them dry and comfortable.
- The Snuggle Me Organic lounger has been used every day since we brought him home from the hospital. He takes the best naps in it and I love how it cradles him so he feels secure. I even took it on a trip this summer and it was so easy and light to take traveling.
- Loved Baby sleepers are basically what he lived in the first couple moths of life, and now they are just a staple for bedtime. Incredibly soft, made out of organic cotton, and have the prettiest colors to choose from.
- Aren’t these pacifiers SO cute?? Made all the way over in Denmark with natural materials and 100% BPA free.
- This pacifier clip is the only thing Briar really likes to chew on so it’s a double win to have something that also holds his pacifier too!
- Speaking of teethers…we also love this one!
- My Charlie Crane rocker is the item I was most excited about with Briar. I loved the simplicity and modern shape of the rocker as well as how compact/light it is to be able to carry him around the house in it.
- Last, this play gym from LovEvery Baby is so much fun for Brair! The perfect place to work on tummy time as well as many sensory areas on the mat for babies to learn/play with.
We have so many favorites but these are definitely my top nine for those first few months.
I always joke that truly the only thing you need when coming home from the hospital is diapers… But truly when I look at this list, diapers are the only I absolutely need, everything else just nice to have around with a baby to make things more comfortable. And when it comes to diapers I will always choose Pampers Swaddlersbecause of the softness, protection, and absorption.
These are my must-haves, what are some of yours?
