The jumper and pac n play. Both are handy when you need to get stuff done around the house lol

The rock n play is a lifesaver!

Avatar

Wubbanub pacifier!! We literally never leave the house without it. It is as essential as the car seat....Because it saves our lives (me and my husband).

Avatar

Clothes!! So many cute outfits!!!!

Avatar

The swaddle jackets! They helped my baby sleep so much longer!

Avatar

sleepers sleepers sleepers....... with feet!!! saves on sock drama.
also finding a good wrap/carrier that works for you is 💯, talking bout lifesavers. works like magic when baby is fighting his nap!

Definitely my solly baby wrap for the 4th trimester.

Avatar

Pack n play and rock n play are both lifesavers!

Pack and play or arms reach bassinet for sleeping.

Mamaroo for soothing a baby that didn’t want to be set down

Wubbanub (my son figured out by 3 months how to get it back in his mouth on his own plus it’s easier for them to hold and keep in. Daughter didn’t care for the soothie type of pacifier so no luck with her)

Carter’s sleep sacks! We keep our house cool at night and so we put them in jammies and then that. No need for a blanket and they are totally warm and snuggly and best of all SAFE!

Breatheable baby mesh crib bumpers - padded ones are a hazard. These keep them safer and prevent arms/ legs getting stuck.

Jumperoo - they will play forever in this!!

Copper pearl nursing and car seat cover. The fabric is lightweight so many doesn’t get too hot and they have so many cute patterns.

Rock n play-my son won’t sleep in anything else!

Owlet!

Dock a tot . Has helped me get through sleepless nights

The MiaMilly baby carrier. I use it everyday. Baby has a cushioned seat, so their bum isn’t getting squished all the time, and the ergonomics are so much better for my body too. Also, the Snoofybee changing pad is a lifesaver once Baby gets old enough to want to grab themselves while you are trying to change a poopy diaper. Major sanity saver!

Dock a tot! The only thing my son would sleep in and perfect for co sleeping!

Avatar

My tula and ring sling.

Avatar

Solly baby wrap was my favorite. I wish I had gotten a more compact-able stroller! Mine was huge!

Avatar

Baby lounger, this pillow was a life save with my newborn. When I nursed I could rest my little one on it while I prepared to switch sides. When he had gassy discomfort it gave the right support to allow him to rest on his belly (with supervision) to relieve the discomfort. He wouldn't sleep flat for the beginning weeks and sometimes wouldnt even sleep in the swing either so I'd lay the pillow in the crib and let him sleep on that. Seriously don't know what we would have done without it. There would have been many more sleepless nights haha

Haakaa and Solly wrap!

Avatar

The Boppy Lounger for sure! Safe place to put baby clos to me while I pump.

Avatar

So many things! We love our boppy, and boba sling + any baby carrier! We also found nuby chamomile pills for soothing teething baby (they're like magic) Plus the babyganics clove teething pods!

My baby carrier is a lifesaver!

The Tommee Tippee Milk Prep Machine was a huge time saver in the middle of the night and when the girls were super hungry and couldn't wait for kettles to boil and milk to cool etc.

Avatar

The bumbo seat - gets my baby boy out of my arms for a minute!

Boppy

The swing is awesome! So is the baby carriers.

Avatar

Owlet heart rate and oxygen monitor! Piece of mind when sleeping is always a plus!

Avatar

The boppy and rock n okay

Avatar

Play pen and swing. 🤗 music!

Avatar

Play mat and baby carriers are a must if you want to do some house chores lol I even showered yesterday with the baby on his play mat in the bathroom 😂 manual medela breast pump is my bff as I have to pump before feeding due to hyper lactation syndrome. White noise machine is my son’s new bff after we took him off from swaddling. 🙏🏻

Avatar

Swaddle me newborn pod and baby gowns saved me the first few weeks. The pod is the only way lizzie would relax.

Avatar

The boppy pillow i loooove it and of course my spectra s1 breast pump!

Avatar

Rock n play sleeper, and my breast friend nursing pillow. Both of these have been invaluable this first month!

Avatar

The moby wrap and the bassinet

Avatar

Nursing pillow and all muslins ❣️ both of them are my fave.

Avatar

My momaroo... It allowed me sleep!

Avatar

In this first month I’d definitely say the Aden & Anais Muslin Swaddle blankets! Super versatile, super soft and can be light weight or thick depending on how you use it/fold it. Did learn though that they’re very easy for a puppy to take a bite out of. 😜

Avatar

Rock n play! The thing has been a lifesaver. Also, we got a zippy zoo a little while ago, and the day we put him under it he; rolled over from his back, laughed, and started grabbing for things.

Avatar

Baby clothes 😍 I think they’re just adorable😍😍😍😩 and binkys OMG don’t know why but I love binkys😍😍 jogger strollers and car seat!!! I’m pretty much obsessed with everything that belongs to babies

Avatar

Wubbanub with soothies, Dr. Brown Bottles, boba wrap or nice cloth carrier, gripe water, swaddlers!!!

Avatar

The owlet for increased peace of mind when sleeping, the windi for gassy babies, and the boon bottles-easy cleaning and gas reduction!

Avatar

Riff Raff ❤️

Avatar

Baby brezza bottle maker! OMG saved me many nights just pressing a button to make a nice warm bottle for baby and back to bed we go!

Avatar

Muslin blankets as a baby, Sophie while teething, jelly cat stuffed animals as a toddler!

Avatar

Baby carriers! Specifically I got a cuddly wrap that was awesome for newborn until about 4-5 month then an ergo baby when she was able to face forward. My daughter easily spend 5-8h/day in a carrier for around the first 6m at least! Also not a baby product but get a crock pot with a timer setting on it. So much easier than trying to meal prep during babies fussy time which for most babies falls near supper time.

Avatar

I love the Tula carrier, love to dream swaddle, and snuggle me organic! Those have all been life savers so far with my two month old!!

Avatar

dock a tot!!! seriously! buy one!! So helpful. We got the baby sleeping in his crib in his bedroom the day we brought him home from the hospital

Avatar

I love my Summer Infant Pop n’ Sit portable high chair! It comes in handy when traveling or going out to eat or even just going to the park!!!

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

I feel like just a milk cow

Hi I have a 16 day old via c section, I'm a FTM never having been around babies before as I am the youngest of my household and from a small family. My husband is fantastic with our little one. But ever since I've had the baby I just feel like the only thing I'm good for is producing milk. I feel disconnected from my husband like the only reason he's around is because am producing milk. We were having some issues before the baby and we're struggling it took a while to feel like he was onboard even though he said he was from the moment we found out. I dunno if I'm feeling like a spear part because I'm lacking confidence with baby or because I feel like he wouldn't mind being a single dad. Is this postpartum hormones or something else?

How long did it take for your child’s circumcision to heal and you could give him a bath?

I’ve just been wiping him down with a fiber wash cloth but I just wanted to know from others experience on how long it took

Guilt

Does anyone else feel guilty for every little thing they do? I feel like I need to be entertaining my little one at all times. If I have to put her in the activity center to finish a task, instant guilt. In the car for too long, instant guilt. Replying to work emails instead of interacting with her, instant guilt. I know independent play is good for her but my brain thinks otherwise. Please tell me it gets better, I’d love to shower for more than 10 minutes without it feeling like the world is going to collapse.
