18-2-2009 - things i couldnt live without

My mood while writing this blog: Ok

As I sit here I think about how time has flown by in the past 6 months. I remember all the product reviews I went through to find out which items I needed, what items fit my specifications and which items I just loved. So I thought I would share.

Things I love or cant live without:

True fit convertible car seat by first years- little expensive but it fits all the way up to 65lbs and it tilted far back enough for an infant plus it came in a neutral color

first years breastflow bottles- love these they helped after kaydence got nipple confusion.

chicco lullaby lx sahara playard- great neutral color, easy to use, comfy and soft, doubles as a play mat

bumbo and bumbo tray- got a neutral green color, its sofy, comfy and easy to clean. its great for feeding time, playing or just sitting in to watch baby einstein

baby einstein- educational and gives mommy a good 30 minutes to get some clenaing done and I dont feel bad. we have the movies, flash cards and several toys all great boz the green bear is amazing as well.

3 in 1 evenflow excersaucer- also gives mommy some time to get things done. it holds her attention, builds her leg muscles and coordination. also is a play mat and when they get older it comes apart for more playing options. the lights and music entertains her for awhile.

aquaphor baby body wash- way better then johnsons in my opinion. it is TEAR FREE! it is mild and fragrence free for sensitive skin.

pampers sensitive wipes- these are so soft! I switched from huggies and the first time i used one of these wipes my daughter actually smiled

pampers swaddlers ( disposable) and tiny tush ( reusable)- both easy to use and soft on my daughters skin.

JJ cole original bundle me- warm, soft and easy to use. several come in a neutral color. loved it so much I bought another to use in stroller as well as the car seat

koala and little giraffe blankets- koala blankets are soft and the thermal ones are stretchy and perfect for swaddling.. some even have fun prints. little giraffe is the softest! blanket I have ever seen although its very pricey! swaddle me is a savior as well.

Mobile- my daughter loves hers.. she has a wendy bellismo bumble bee mobile and adores it.

carriers and stroller- I have a babybjorne which is easy to use, then I also got a moby ( better on your back its like your not even carrying your baby) and an especially for kids umbrella stroller, this stroller is light weight, easy to maneauver and easy to set up and take down.

medela pump in style- have been using this since before baby was born. works great! easy to use and wash. is great for keeping your milk supply up and for if you have to go back to work.

summer infant nurse ez breastfeeding pillow- life savior product! I bought mine after trying one out at the laction place at the hospital. loved it so much that I took my boppy back! this pillow is bigger, wider, softer and water proof and was cheaper!

sassy mam pacifiers- these are great the only pacies my daughter will take.

schedule book- I have used this since the beginning cuz I'm aweful and remembering what time I did what and this has really helped not only me but my hubby too. especially now that I have returned to work.

bebesounds angelcare deluxe movement sensor with sound monitor- what a peace of mind. my daughter is a tummy sleeper and this makes me feel so much better. it monitors her breathing and if it doesnt sense her movement in 20 seconds it sounds an alarm. I dont have to worry about SIDS.

nature's touch baby papasan cradle swing by fisher price- this is great it is comfy and soft with moving mirro above with animals and sounds and it turns so you can have it swing side to side or front to back. my daughter can watch her baby einstein or boz dvd and fall alseep in comfort. now if only it had a wall outlet. although the batteries have seemed to last quite awhile. ( they also have some that have a canopy and lights which is really cool too)

wendy bellismo pink sleeper/ romper- is soft velour with a matching hat that says love on it. it has ruffles all over the bottom and is adorable. the funny thing is out of all her outfits this is my favorite and I tried to take this back to babysrus because I thought I didnt like it and thye wouldnt take it back. after putting it on her I changed my mind.

white baby keds- so cute that I got 2 pairs.

fresh baby food making kit- love this thought it would be harder to make baby food then it is. so easy and I feel so good knowing I am doing this for my baby. I know exactly what is going into her food. You can even make it organic and it is even cheaper too.
