Mommy favorites?

AmandagStark · March 2014

I tried a mobile search, but didn't find the type of post I was looking for. Soooo... What are your favorite products, toys, clothes, etc you use with your LO? I am putting together a box of "favorites" for a mom to be. Here is what I have so far:

Nose Frida

Lansinoh "soothies" for sore nips (which was one of my favorite things when first nursing- feel free to add stuff like this to the list too!)

Aveeno Baby lotion

Thanks!

Sock Ons, rectal thermometer, Sophie giraffe (expensive but LO loves it) and gas drops.

-- Baby Einstein music player
-- Winkle
-- Taggies Lovie
-- A&A swaddle blankets
-- Soothies gel pads
-- Tucks! LOL....but seriously!!! The first 3 weeks PP, those things were between my ass cheeks everyday all day! LO did a number down there!

ETA: I seriously wish APNO was sold over the counter because ALL nursing moms should have this! I still use it all the time.

I love the little beauty scissors with the curved end for cutting dd's nails

Hmm I see a lot of people listing medical-ish things so I'd like to add I bought baby Vicks yesterday because CJ has a bad cold and he slept waaay better. So, baby Vick's (for 3 mos and older :-D )

I asked a similar question a while back, which might have some more ideas!

My favorites are the Nosefrida, Boppy, Kick & Play, Rock & Play, and cotton (not fleece) zip-up sleepers. Lots of zip-up sleepers!

Gripe water, my breast friend, rock n play, kick n play, Vaseline (for diaper changes), leg warmers (so muh easier for changes)

StefMurph · March 2014

Saline drops.

The kick n play is awesome and my DD loves little toys that are part animal and part teether if that makes sense

And a side note, my LC gave me a recipe for a concoction that's basically APNO but you don't have to get it made by the pharmacy, I used it a ton at the beginning. It's polysporin, miconazole nitrate, & hydrocortisone 1%. All equal parts.. You don't have to use the miconazole nitrate but it's good to prevent thrush since it's yeast infection medicine.

Tons of long sleeve onesies...although it depends on when momma is due/weather.

Kittymom6 · March 2014

I love these indestructible baby books. DD has two and she LOVES them!

Wiggle March is my fave. They are less than $5 at Amazon.

Kittymom6 · March 2014

Also, my friend's aunt makes these critter blankets that I think are adorable.

sweettwilight16 · March 2014

Kick n Play, Rock n Play, Boppy, Woombie, noise machine (although I would no longer recommend the Munchkin one. The projector broke on ours), and the seahorse.

BabyMorrissey · March 2014

Cloud B sleep giraffe
Snugabunny bouncer (the vibration is key)
And this is not technically baby related but the water bottle I recieved from the hospital is the greatest thing of my life while breastfeeding. It keeps water iiiiiice cold. The only downside is that it's hideous.

muffyvonmuff · March 2014

Hmm I assume smallish stuff for a basket is what you're looking for?

I love:

Mini sleep sheep

Tommee tippee explora bibs

OXO tot cleaning set (great to clean pump parts)

Playtex Drop-in bottles, for on the go

Carseat canopy

Moby wrap swaddle blanket

These scissors https://www.ebay.com/itm/Baby-infant-toddler-safety-nail-scissors-with-cap-USA-seller-/331149573438

MangoMama82 · March 2014

-Boppy
-Lansinoh storage bags
-Lanolin (works great for baby's dry skin too!)
-Sleep sacks (fleece and cotton)
-Sophie
-Super soft blanket used just for the carrier (when we go out and in the car)

muslin blankets, babylegs, long sock- they stay on better especially paired with the babylegs, those plain white kimono style shirts- so much easier to put on in the beginning.

@AggieAsh23, What is APNO?

AggieAsh23 · March 2014

All purpose nipple ointment. It fixes anything and everything nipple related due to feeding/pumping.

ETA-- forgot to tag @TophersWife

I wonder if your LO would agree about the rectal thermometer being a fave?!
