I’m 6 months late with this however higher late than by no means proper? Between transferring, residing in a short lived area and so forth, I’m very clear on what child objects have been important to our household throughout these first few months. Wished to share my must-haves with you. Some are the identical as Otis and there are just a few new additions to the combination. I’ve used all of this stuff a lot for these first few months.

Snoo bassinet: This was SUCH a lifesaver for us. It was all the time one thing in my funds that I deliberate for with Otis as a result of I used to be actually desirous to attempt to use it. With Duke, we already had some methods up our sleeves for methods to get essentially the most out of it. Like utilizing the double swaddle approach and utilizing the risers from their firm to barely elevate the top a part of the bassinet. Principally, particularly whereas packing for the transfer, transferring, and being in a brand new area, the snoo gave me peace of thoughts that Duke would all the time be secure when sleeping. We even utilized the rental program after we moved to make sure we had that able to go after I moved into our short-term residing state of affairs. I all the time get questions on if I feel the snoo is value it and I’ve the saem reply I did with Otis: 1 million % value it for my part!!! Our transition from snoo to crib additionally went very easily which I can converse to at a distinct time however wished to share that he was not hooked on the motion.

Hatch Baby Grow Smart Changing Pad: I used this altering desk with Otis as properly. I really like the design of it, it’s straightforward to wipe down, and it has a inbuilt scale! You log into the app and might observe the infant’s weight which I all the time love in these new child days to verify my little man is rising.

Hatch Rest Plus Sound Machine: I cannot dwell with out these sound machines. They’re loud which is important. I exploit one in Duke’s room in addition to one outdoors of his room within the hallway to drown out noise from the home. What’s nice about these is that also they are nightlights and work by way of wifi in an app so it’s straightforward to regulate them and save favourite settings. One other nice function is that they’ve reserve battery for when the ability goes out (which is has right here and its been a lifesaver!!) otherwise you need to simply transfer it round throughout the day, it might run with out being plugged in. I exploit this in Otis’ room additionally with sound on and evening mild and it has a time to rise operate as properly. I actually love all the Hatch merchandise a lot. Expensive however by far the perfect sound machine I’ve used.

Nanit pro baby monitor: I’m obsessive about this child monitor for just a few causes. It really works on wifi and also you entry the app by means of your cellphone. The image high quality is wonderful, now we have sleep insights arrange so it tells us when Duke went to sleep and so forth, offers the room temp, and likewise has particular breathwear that helps to observe child’s respiratory. Nonetheless use a nanit for Otis as properly. I really like that the cellphone app has background audio as properly so even when your app is closed, you possibly can hear the monitor on.

Panasonic extra long range video baby monitor: Since our short-term residing state of affairs has unhealthy wifi, we invested in a brand new non-wifi child monitor to make use of as backup for the nanit and for journey when wanted. I picked this one as a result of it has a protracted vary which is important as a result of our previous monitor couldn’t attain the vary the place we wished to make use of it right here. This one has held up properly for us and the lengthy vary is nice.

DockATot: I used this with Otis and it’s such an ideal merchandise to set child down in a secure and comfortable area when supervised. I really STILL use this with Duke at 6 months as a spot to set his towel into earlier than his bathtub after which after his bathtub, I place him in his towel and wrap him up in his dockatot. We additionally used our dockatot for elevated tummy time when he wasn’t loving it as a lot it’s nice to prop their arms over the sting for tummy time. Supervised after all!

My brest friend nursing pillow: If I needed to decide one nursing pillow this one can be it. I had it with Otis and it was suggest by the lactation consultants that I met with by means of my hospital after having Otis. I LOVE utilizing it to have a secure floor to feed him and cut back pressure alone physique. I’m nonetheless utilizing it with Duke now at 6 months.

butterr nursing pillow: I used this one alot at evening when Duke was teenie tiny! It’s a more moderen model and I really like how stunning it’s. The benefit to this one at evening was simply pulling it over as an alternative of getting to buckle like my brest good friend pillow. It was additionally good and cushioned so it felt very nice with a really contemporary new child. I haven’t used it shortly however as soon as Duke begins sitting extra independently which ought to be quickly, I’ll use it as a pillow to position behind him for some added stability.

Ollie swaddle: By far arms down the one swaddle you want. These infants have been arduous to search out in inventory however fortunately for me I had a bunch from after I had Otis. They’re the one swaddle my children don’t bust out of. Interval. What I additionally beloved was utilizing this swaddle earlier than placing Duke into his Snoo sack as a result of he would bust out of the snoo sack so that may be a GREAT hack for my snoo mamas.

Artipoppe carrier: It is a new one with Duke. It has been by far my favourite child provider total. I used it from week 1 at house. The worth tag is hefty however the quantity I’ve used it and compared to different carriers I’ve tried out, it is vitally well worth the cash for my part. The materials are so comfortable and it’s easy to put on and clearly the prints and patterns simply make you are feeling pleased. I’d say the one detrimental about this one is that child cannot face out however I’ve used and nonetheless use this happening 6 months robust and might’t say sufficient good issues about it. Additionally love that it’s a small enterprise from Holland and being Dutch, I simply love that!

Solly baby carrier: I additionally used this with Otis and it has been a favourite with Duke within the early days additionally. Blake additionally actually loved carrying this one round the home as a result of it’s very cozy. Solly child has a ton of nice movies on-line additionally sharing methods to get the perfect match and tie the wrap and I simply love how cozy and snuggly it’s in a easy light-weight cloth. 

Travel sound machine: We used this one with Otis and it’s ESSENTIAL when on the go together with child. Whether or not it’s a stroller stroll with the bassinet, or the automobile seat, for naps we all the time use white noise and this is useful.

Louloulollipop pacifier clip: We used a paci for the primary few months and these clips are nice for lowering drops. Duke hasn’t used a paci since 3 months so now we use the clips for teethers or toys which works nice.

lovevery play kits and mat: I used these with Otis and the toys are unimaginable as a result of not solely are they so stunning and properly made however they’re considerate made with a child’s growth in thoughts. Otis LOVED and continues to like their toddler toys so I wished to verify I had their toys readily available for Duke additionally. Their mat is unimaginable for tummy time.

Baby’s brew bottle warmer: That is one thing new I noticed in an instagram advert that I purchased earlier than we moved. Since we’d often give Duke a system bottle, I used to be nervous about what to do after we had been on the airplane if he wanted a bottle since he was used to ingesting heat system due to our system maker. This little gadget works AMAZING and might warmth a water bottle to the proper temp in 5 minutes. Main recreation changer. Additionally since we didn’t have our system maker with us throughout our temp residing state of affairs, I used this after we wanted to make a bottle. Extremely counsel in case you are a mother on the go. It heats water AND breastmilk so works properly for child fed all types of how.

Baby brezza formula pro maker: Mainly consider this because the Nespresso of system makers. You dump in your system and push a button and it makes the proper heat system bottle by mixing the system and water collectively for you. Since we lower our nighttime feed actually early we did loads of nighttime bottles and this machine got here in useful for when your are sleep disadvantaged and need to make a bottle quick on demand. I’m telling you, value each penny!!

Nuna pipa lite lx car seat: I saved my seat from Otis as a result of I checked the expiration date and it’s nonetheless good! I’m NOT a automobile seat skilled so solely sharing what we use. Keep in mind, a automobile seat is just nice if its put in and used correctly. I comply with @safeintheseat who’s a licensed automobile seat specialist and he or she has unimaginable suggestions and a course to assist with automobile seat confidence and set up. I really like nuna merchandise and this seat is VERY mild so I’ve beloved it with Otis and now take pleasure in it with Duke.

Nuna mixx next stroller: It is a new stroller for Duke and what I like is it’s smaller than a double stroller however nonetheless sizeable sufficient for filling up with issues down beneath. I’m a sucker for all issues nuna. If I needed to decide a favourite stroller/seat maker it will be nuna due to the operate and design. I’m lacking my stroller dearly which is in storage.

This fashion I used to be in a position to make the most of the automobile seat in addition to toddler seat and the trip alongside board for Otis. One thing I really like about Uppababy is that when you get their travelsafe travel bags and register them, in case your objects get broken throughout journey they may repair/exchange them! So I made certain to get the baggage since we had been gate checking them on the airport after we moved. We’ve used it typically since I really like the kickboard you possibly can add on so Otis can step on and take a trip with out being strapped in a seat.

Sleep advisor: I wished to share my sleep consultants information right here so folks had a spot to reference it! I used Melissa Brown of  SleepShopOC and I’m telling you she is a sleep guru and the sweetest girl. I used a extra generic course final time round with Otis. Sleep is treasured and one factor I wished to create good habits once more. With a toddler, and transferring and so forth, we had alot of transferring elements happening so having Melissa making a customized sleep plan for me and having the ability to textual content and attain out to her was unimaginable. Sleep consultants can include a heavy price ticket, however the form of private consideration we acquired was properly value it IMO. Proper now, Duke is fortunately in his crib at 6 months, sleeping like a freaking angel and I’ve Melissa to thank for that.
