9 THINGS I RECOMMEND TO EVERY MAMA-TO-BE

[ THIS POST IS NOT SPONSORED ]

1. mamaroo - Both my kiddos liked this! I love that the angle, speed, and volume are all adjustable!

2. dock a tot - This I only had for Mav but he LOVES it. It's great because we take it with us when we travel and he doesn't feel like he left home. I can check it at the airport and drive with it across the state. Definitely one of my favorite new purchases. Highly recommend!

3. nose frida - (I cant believe I am saying this) This, though, is probably my most favorite. Because truly, the idea is repulsive, but the relief baby gets is instant. Plus, the boogies don't even get relatively close to the suction part. Nobody likes to watch their babies suffer and struggle to breathe. Everytime I use it I say "I wish I had this for Emersyn when she was little!"

4. this tank top - It's not even a maternity top, but it makes life postpartum so much easier. Easy to nurse in. Easy to stick a nipple pad in. Enough support for the night shift but not too much that makes it uncomfortable to sleep in, so yes I slept in it. I still wear them. Easily the best version of this tank too, I've tried other brands - nothing compares. They're life.

5. baby brezza - If you're formula feeding or supplementing, this thing is a lifesaver especially for those night time feedings!

6. baby carrier - If you need your hands and baby is fussy, throw this on and all the things can get done! Can I get an Amen!? Baby wearing is essential if you have two little ones. In line at Disney & no strollers allowed? Throw this on! At a 3 year olds birthday party with toddler in one hand, diaper bag and present in the other ? Throw this thing on! My personal carrier is this brand, but the tula is another great option! Do your research though!

7. multi-use cover- Seriously you can nurse anywhere and no one ever realizes whats going on. It's a nursing cover, a car seat cover, and a shopping cart (or buggy if you're from the south) cover!

8. haakaa - This thing is AWESOME. When you're nursing, you attach it to the other side and with a gentle suction, it collects the extra milk that would normally go to waste. My sister-in-law discovered it and when she told me about it, I couldn't believe I didn't have it. Shoutout to her and to Amazon for that two day delivery that never fails! Best part - it's under $13

9. summer infant bath seat - If you have more than one child, this thing is a lifesaver. They can both be in the tub at one time once the baby can hold their head up. Mav started using this when he was five months old. Total game changer.
