Favorite Products 0-3 Months

I thought I would share some of my favorite baby products. I know it is really overwhelming to try to decide what things you need, especially if you are a first time mom. There is so many things out there, but you can only have so much before you run out of room! I will put my most favorite in order from 1-13. I hope this helps you put your registry together! 

1. Fisher Price Rock and Play
This is great because it is light & compact. I take it EVERYWHERE with me. I used it in the living room or whenever we visited family. We absolutely LOVE our Rock and Play!

2.Summer Infant Assured Co-Sleeper
We co-slept when my son was 0-4 months. This gave me piece of mind that I wouldn't roll over  him at night. It also made it really easy to breast feed at night. He was eating about every 2 hours at night. In the beginning it takes several minutes on each side, so this allowed me a little bit of shut eye in between. Plus, I found the baby to be more comforted. He spends 9 months in the womb attached to you and then all of the sudden we expect our children to sleep in a big crib in a dark room alone.


3.Graco Duet Soothee Swing & Bouncer
I'm all about double duty! The less junk the better for me, so when I was picking out a swing I knew I wanted it to be a bouncer as well. Often times when my son was over stimulated time in his swing in a quiet room helped to calm him. It also has a great vibration feature on the seat, classical music, and calming nature sounds. My son is 5 months and he still LOVES to be in his swing.

4.Britax B-Agile Travel System 
When selecting a car seat we looked at all of the safety ratings. This travel system wasn't the cheapest, but it certainly isn't the most expensive! It has great safety ratings and the car seat can snap right into the stroller for easy shopping etc. The car seats are not light so this helps a lot. The stroller is great as well. You can collapse the whole stroller using one hand and it turns on a dime.

5. Aden+Anais Swaddle Blankets
We live in southern Louisiana where it is really hot, so we found these blankets to be the perfect weight in July when he was born. It is really large so it makes swaddling easy. It shows you how to easily swaddle on the back of the package. Again, our children are all curled up in a tight space in the womb and when they are born most are comforted by being swaddled.

6.Swaddle Wraps
These are great as well. There is not swaddling talent necessary. You put your child in the pocket and use the Velcro to close them into the wrap!


7.  Summer infant Bather
I selected this bather because it collapses for easy storage

8. Crane Cool Mist Humidifier
We used this a lot in the beginning. Sometimes the babies get amniotic fluid in their lungs and this helped him work it out. Remember when you use electronics like this to always use distilled water. Regular tap water has chlorine in it and will ruin the humidifier.

9. Munchkin Warm Glow Wipe Warmer
This item isn't totally necessary, but we enjoyed it. When the baby is already mad due to a wet diaper it really makes them mad to put a cold wet wipe on his bum.

We selected these diapers mostly because my husband had a hard time telling if his diaper was wet or not. These diapers have a yellow indicator that turn blue when wet.  We are using the size 2 now and we still haven't had any leaks.
Every baby will decide which pacifier he will take. My son tried Avent, Tommy Tippee, and NUK was the only one he would take.

I had to use my pump to help my milk come down because my son was delivered via c-section. 
These are AMAZING!! 2 oz of water with all of the pacifiers my son dropped and any breast pump parts and the items are sanitized. Each bag gets 15 uses!
