Hey Mamas and Mamas-to-Be,
As a first-time mom, I’ve quickly learned that navigating motherhood comes with a steep learning curve, and let’s be honest – a lot of trial and error when it comes to baby products! I’ve tried my fair share, and now I’m excited to share five must-have items that have made my life a whole lot easier. These things are ALWAYS within arms-reach. Whether you’re expecting or already in the thick of it, I hope these picks help you as much as they’ve helped me.
1. Reliable Breatfeeding Arsenal 🍈🍈
They say that the first three weeks of breastfeeding are the toughest, and I can attest! It does get easier, and what makes it a little easier, still is a handy arsenal of breastfeeding products. This newbie mom always has within arms reach a few things that OF COURSE, I’ll link for you. My silverettes, my nursing pillows, the Haaka breast pump that SAVED ME from those too-full days, and nipple creams that soothe and heal.
2. A Cozy Baby Carrier 🤱
There’s something so special about having your little one close to you, and a good baby carrier makes it easy to keep them snug while keeping your hands free. Whether we’re taking a stroll or I’m attempting to do some light chores, this carrier has been a lifesaver. Plus, it’s super comfortable for both of us, which is a win-win!
3. The Swaddle That Saves Sleep 😴
If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that sleep is sacred – for both mom and baby. Finding the right swaddle was a game-changer. This one is soft, secure, has a little stretch for a good bundle, and keeps my little one snug as a bug, helping him sleep longer stretches. And when he sleeps well, I get a few extra minutes of precious shut-eye too!
4. A Reliable Sound Machine 🌙
This sound machine has become a staple in our bedtime routine. With soothing white noise and a relaxing colors, it helps my baby drift off to sleep and stay asleep, even when the house isn’t perfectly quiet. It’s small enough to travel with, so we take it wherever we go to keep our routine consistent. It also doubles as sound monitor, for whenever it’s time for him to sleep on his own.
5. A Dock For The Tot ☁️
There are moments when you just need to put the baby down and have a minute to yourself – and that’s where this SnuggleMe comes in. It’s cozy and gives me a few hands-free minutes to sip my coffee (while it’s still warm!) or just breathe. My little one loves the snug fit, and I love the little break it gives me.
Final Thoughts
Motherhood is an incredible journey, but let’s face it – it can be overwhelming, especially at first. These products have helped me find a bit of balance and have made our days smoother. I hope they do the same for you! Remember, every mom and baby is different, so find what works best for you and your little one. And if you have any must-have products, I’d love to hear about them!
Thanks for being on this journey with me, and here’s to finding joy in the little things that make mom life a bit easier.
With love and messy buns,
Jayce :)
