    Squatty Potty - good for pregnancy and postpartum. They don’t look cool but they help. There are some other options because it’s an old concept so you may be able to find a folding option. 

    Washable open front sweaters/sweatshirts/robes without metal zippers for night feeds. Even if you’re not nursing, it’s nice to wrap baby in and snuggle together while they eat. 

    Electric kettle - maybe. We have a Breville we got for our wedding and it’s great. We switched to formula at 3 mo and while we didn’t heat fresh bottles (so baby was used to getting bottles of varying temps). The only thing he really hated were fridge cold bottles. So we just flip the kettle on, and put the bottle in the bowl & pour in the hot water. 

    Cute water bottles you love. For now and later.

    @saladflambe oh man I have never watched as much Netflix as I did the 6 weeks I had to hold DS. 

    Old navy usually does 50% off on Black Friday, obviously for maternity clothes but they have a nice selection of nursing clothes too.

    Yes! And wireless headphones! I would watch shows on my phone while he nursed at night and I wanted it to stay silent for him to reinforce nighttime but the cords were a pain.

    I will be looking for all the Korean sheet mask deals.  I’m obsessed and I think they’re the only thing that makes my skin look alive post DD ha. And zero effort!  I will be more careful now with ingredients and brand though!

    @chaos-and-coffee How does one size for maternity clothes? Wouldn't mind picking up a few basics while on sale, but i'm barely showing yet and have no idea what I'll look like in a few months

    @akoros generally go by your normal size, maybe size up one toward the end. Old navy is generally pretty true to size. I got a small and 4/6 in most maternity clothes and they fit me the whole way through, and that’s my normal size. Nursing clothes, I sized up one, because I knew I would be pp and not back to my normal size for a while!
