After seeing most of these items in pics on Instagram, several of you requested more details so I’ve put together a list of some of our favorite items for little bit! In no particular order, here are the things we use on a daily basis:
1| Skip Hop Items: we love this bag as it clips easily to her stroller & has these other great accessories that you can mix and match like the baby changing station (complete with pouch for wipes and diapers) and bottle bag (complete with icepack).
2| Wubbanub: E loves her wubbanubs! (we have a few) The pacifier (which is actually her fave) is attached to such adorable tiny stuffed animals that she ends up cuddling with during naptime as well.
3| Binxy Baby Shopping Cart Hammock: This makes grocery shopping so much easier! I love that I can see her, and still fit everything in the cart. It was a nightmare to shop with her in her stroller by myself, and babywearing was a bit cumbersome to bend over to get items or put things in the cart. It’s super small too and folds up into itself for easy transport!
4| Inchbug Orbit Labels: These are perfect for bottles for daycare or even just for play dates. They are washable and you can pick from several different colors and write two lines of whatever you want from their name, to allergies, etc. So much better than writing on everything with a sharpie!
5| BOB stroller: we LOVE our BOB and it makes walks so easy. We got an infant insert to help her sit up, and the cover blocks all the sun from her. We also got the cup holder which is perfect for waters and phones along with the keys. Walking the dog and E is only possible because of this guy!
6| Twist & Fold Gym: we use this every night for tummy time! She loves laying on her back as well and playing with the mobile & watching the mirror. You can add on items and it’s easy to wipe off if she spits up. Definite must have.
7| Mint & Arrows Cocoon Swaddle: E loves to be swaddled and this one just pulls right on. It’s got enough room (and a bit of stretch) right now that she can still move her little arms, while remaining swaddled up. There are matching hats or headbands as well which are just precious!
8| Ryan & Rose Cutie Clips: we use ours right now as pacifier clips, but they can also hold teethers, bottles, or whatever else you want to keep close by! I love the different styles and the length is perfect – not too long that I have to worry about her getting tangled up in it.
9| Soothies Pacifiers: E has only used these and has spit out other brands we have tried to introduce that we had gotten for free or as a gift and she doesn’t like them. These work great with the cutie clips, and are the same pacifiers on the wubbanubs which I like so there is consistency!
10| Solly Baby Wrap: I love these so much we have more than one! I keep one in her diaper bag, and one in the house to use. It’s perfect for strapping her in so she can be right there with me doing chores or whatever around the house. We also use it a lot right now at church as it’s great for calming her in loud or crowded situations and snuggles her up close. The husband has even tried it out and loves it too!
11| Multi Use Nursing/Car Seat Cover: This has been huge for us! I have one from Milk Snob and one from Covered Goods and love them both. Not only does it provide FULL coverage for when I’m nursing in public, but it also can be used as a carseat cover which is perfect for keeping out the sun, breeze, or overly nosey people. It’s great for use in restaurants or shopping and E naps the whole time when her seat is covered in the stroller. It can also be used as a cart seat cover when she’s older, so super multi purpose!
12| Aden + Anais items: Swaddle blankets are the best thing ever and these are so soft and breathable! Their bibs are super soft too (not like some of the more plasticy feeling ones) and come in the cutest patterns. And their burp cloths are hands down the BEST – they have a curve to them so your entire shoulder is covered, and the double as larger wrap around bibs.
