Likes and Dislikes from a new mommy!

whitward87 · February 2010

I always loved when new moms would drop by and give some insight on likes and dislikes on baby items, so here is my list for you first timers:

Likes: Playtex Ventaire bottles: DD has had ALOT less spit up since I switched from Playtex Drop Ins.

Pampers Swaddlers: We haven't had a leak so far and she has some serious poops, people, serious poops. Stick out tongue

Huggies & Pampers wipes: To me, they are the exact same thing, so if you are deciding which ones to get, IMO they both work wonderfully.

Medela Pump in style: This pump is awesome! I have had a pretty bad BM supply but it has been great to get what BM I do have. There are really too many things to tell you about it, but DO YOUR RESEARCH before you spend a crap load of money on a pump. They are not cheap, and non-refundable.

Dislikes: Playtex drop ins: DD spit up like mad before we switched to the Ventaires.

Dr. Brown's bottles. Two words. They leak. And they have too many parts to clean IMO.

Take or leave: Boppy. It is nice to have when she naps next to me on the couch when I am folding laundry but it did not work for BFing. It was just too awkward for me. So, short list, but HTH!
