My Baby Faves!

I had my second son 10 months ago and I wanted to share with you some of the items that I loved this time around that I didn't have with my first son. Below you will find my TOP 10 recommendations:
frida mom Labor and Delivery + Postpartum Recovery Kit: ($99) You will THANK ME! I did not have this with my first son and let me tell you I wish I did. This will make the postpartum recovery so much better and easier. They sell everything separately but I recommend the kit. The box is a Toilet Top Storage Caddy, you place in the hospital or home restroom for immediate use upon giving birth. Inside the kit you will find Upside down Peri Bottle, Disposable Postpartum Underwear (OMG way better than the hospital ones, TRUST me), instant Ice Max Pads - No freezer (felt amazing even tho I was cesarean, this help my oo-ha just feel fresh), Perineal Cooling Pad Liners, and Perineal Healing Foam. You also get a bathroom essentials bag, delivery, and nursing gown, labor, and deliver socks. For half the price of the Delivery + Postpartum Kit, you can get the Postpartum Recovery Essentials Kit for $49.99. If you don’t purchase for yourself add it to your gift registry.
Portable Electric Breastfeeding Pump ($33) If you plan to breastfeed and need a low-cost wireless pump, I recommend this one. We traveled a lot with our business and this made pumping on the go so much easier. This pumped more milk out for me than the other wireless one I had that I paid $200+ for. (It was great but not the pump power — took longer to pump)
nanobebe Breastfeeding Baby Bottle ($40) my favorite bottles for my breastmilk, storage, and the baby transition very well between breast and bottle. The only reason I stop using, my baby stopped breastfeeding at 5 mo and I stopped producing. I definitely recommend for breastfeeding mamas.
Kiinde Twist Pouch System ($34) I can’t rave about this enough, I used it as long as I could. Great breastmilk storage, you can pump into the pouch and then just popped into the bottle. I also used it with our formula powder milk, they also have the Food Baby Storage and Squeeze Pouch. I used this for when I began making his baby food at home.
Boon NURSH Bottles ($20) When we moved our of the Kiinde system, our next favorite bottles that he is using and loving. Silicone, no gas issues, easy to wash and easy to hold. They have two color options and come in a pack of 3.
Portable Bottle Warmer ($75) portable bottle warmer, they have a new version now however I have the older version of this. We loved it for the breast milk on the go, I was able to give it quick warming before. It stayed charged for a long period of time for when we did a road trip, also was able to charge in the car with USB.
ToteSavvy($65) I had a hard time finding a diaper bag that I loved the first time around, I ended with a backpack instead and used small bags to organize everything. This time around I wanted to use whatever bag I found, my husband made my diaper bag and I purchased the totesavvy organizer to insert into the bag. I’m able to convert any of my now purses into a diaper bag with the insert. This can also be used as a purse organizer once we move out the diaper phase.
fridababy Basic Care Kit ($35) I love everything frida, this kit comes with their SnotSucker, GasPasser, SnipperClipper, and Skin Soother. The go-to kit for a fussy baby, keeping a baby healthy and clean. Other favorites include: DermaFrida & MediFrida — made our baby journey so much easier
Baby Teethers ($15) her teethers and baby clips are the best, I have tried all her baby products just about and we love them. Such cute designs and colors, baby safe.
B, toys Bedtime Soother ($17) We discovered our little one loved water sounds or white noise, this was perfect for him to soothe him to sleep and I love the different lights. It has 4 different sounds and you can change the colors as well. It has a button for a timmer as well.
