I had pretty much everything I needed for
Baby D leftover from Baby A but I did purchase a couple more things
that came highly recommended to me. These are some of my fave new
products that I can't live without!
$60
I
know, I know...$60 for a changing pad is insane but hear me out. This
is definitely not a need but if you can afford the splurge, you will not
regret it. This changing pad is made of laminated cotton so it's easy
to wipe clean but has some padding so very comfortable for your baby to
lay on. Also, the best part is the circular shape. With A, I hated
changing her diaper in public bathrooms with her narrow rectangular
changing pad. No matter how careful I was, her little arm or leg would
touch the dirty surfaces! Also, this pad is great for laying the baby
out to play at the park, on wood floors, or after a bath. I use this
every time I give D a bath. The Patemm has pockets along the perimeter
to store diapers, wipes, aquaphor, etc so everything you need is right
here. It also doesn't have any zippers or buttons so you can easily open
and close it with one hand. I know of 2 other people that have this and
all 3 of us absolutely love it and swear by it!! I highly, highly
recommend!
2. White Noise Lite App
Free!
I
use this app all the time! When D is looking drowsy, I give her a
pacifier and turn this app on and she puts herself into a deep sleep and
won't get woken up by A, or a firetruck or anything else.
$25
A friend told me about this just a month prior to me having D. I was a huge fan of the Aden + Anais
swaddles with A and was skeptical. Plus, it was $25 for just 1 swaddle
which is pretty pricey. After hearing my friend rave about it and
reading amazing reviews, I decided to try it out. I have used the
woombie pretty much every single day since D was born. The fabric hugs
the baby without making them feel confined. No more issues with swaddles
unraveling! Also, it's just so simple to put on. I remember trying to
swaddle A in the middle of the night, bleary eyed and exhausted and the
swaddle would come out too short so I would have to start all over. With
the woombie, I zip and put her back in the bassinet. Too easy!
