Favorite Baby Items

Hey everyone! So I thought i'd make a collage of some of my favorite baby items so far. I have descriptions below of each item and a link to where you can find them :) I hope you find this helpful. xoxo

Favorite Baby Items




  • Fisher Price- My Little Lamb™ Cradle ’n Swing- I'll tell you what, this item was (and still is) a HUGE lifesaver in our house! For the first couple months of her life, this was the ONLY thing Morgan would stay asleep in. I can't tell you how many times my husband and I would end up passing out on the couch while she was in the swing. Why did we never think to move it into our bed room? I do not know! But I would definitely recommend this item to new mamas! I love love love it and at 6 months old, she still has her days where she's just fussy and hard to get to sleep, but this swing never fails to do the job!
  • WubbaNub Infant Pacifier- Morgan wasn't really big on sucking on a binky, and still really isn't, but this item is still a favorite for me because of how much she loves the stuffed animal part (She has the pink cat one). We bring this every where with us and she even falls asleep with it in her hands sometimes. Now that she is teething she likes to suck on the cloth part. Something tells me someday I'll have to cut the binky part off so she can still keep the cat haha!
  • Aden + Anais Classic Muslin Swaddle Blanket- I cannot say enough good things about these blankets! They come in the most adorable patterns and are the softest thing ever.  They have been so perfect for us, and they can be used for much more than swaddling. I use them for a carseat cover, tummy time blanket and I always keep one in the diaper bag for when we go out and about! Since I had Morgan in the summer they were great to swaddle her up in and still keep her cool since they are so thin and breathable. Now that we are into the colder months, I put her to sleep in a fleece sleeper along with the Aden + Anais blanket loosely wrapped around her, and she never overheats. These should be on every new moms registry! 
  •  Tommee Tippee Bottles- Not a lot to say about these other than they worked out perfectly for Morgan.  I bought them with the intentions of nursing her and also pumping and introducing them at a some point. I ended up exclusively pumping for her so she always drank the mom milk out of these and we never had issues with gas or anything. They are suppose to be good for going back and forth between breast and bottle but I can't say for sure that they do, but I plan on using this brand for baby #2. 
  • Johnson & Johnson Bedtime Lotion- I use this every night on Morgan and I love the smell of it! I don't know that does much to help her sleep, but it keeps her smelling good and her skin soft. I had tried Aveeno before this and it dried her out, but we've had no  problems since making the switch. I also use the bedtime wash during her baths.
  • Coconut Oil- This is a MUST HAVE for new mamas! It is seriously a cure all, if you haven't heard people raving over this lately then you might be living under a rock! (seriously, are you?) Morgan developed a mean diaper rash when she was a few weeks old, and you name it, we tried it! Finally I had someone recommend this for it, and since I already had some I gave it a try, and it cleared up within a couple days! I always keep a little container of this by our diaper changing station, and anytime she starts to get some redness I use it. It's also great to use for dry and cracked nipples, for you breast feeding mamas! 

Thanks for reading!
