Baby Products and Gear We Love

So, I was thinking this morning about all of the baby items we received and just thought I would say which stuff we loved and why.

1. Pack and Play: Right now, Trent still sleeps in our room in the pack and play. For one, it's so nice to have him in there with us. I know he's fine. I can look over at him any old time I want to, too! Also, rather than let him get super awake in the middle of the night, I can just get up when I hear him stir and make his bottle. This makes for a faster feed and faster falling back asleep.

2. Boppy: We LOVE the Boppy! When we first brought Trent home, he was pretty jaundiced and had to be in the "tanning bed in a suitcase" during the day, and then be wrapped in the biliblanket when he was being bed or swaddled. We also kept him wrapped in the biliblanket, swaddled in his blankie, and then he laid in/on the boppy in bed with us. This made for a much nicer experience with all of the lights. We also use it for feeding him and tummy time.

3. Bumbo Seat: This little seat has really helped Trent with being able to hold his head up well. He's just now 4 months, but has been holding his head up for a good 3 weeks. We feel it's because of the Bumbo that he's able to do that. Also, right now, he's really into sitting up, even going so far as to do "crunches" when he's eating.

4. Dr. Brown's Bottles: These bottles have a unique venting system that prevents air from getting into the nipple. They are WONDERFUL! They are kind of a pain to wash, but I just rinse them out and then put them in the dishwasher basket to sanitize them.

That's all I have time to write for now. I will come up with some more later on. What are some of your favorite baby items?

Blessings everyone,
