Keep in mind this isn’t a typical product review that I would do. I have yet to try these goodies, but I love them and everything they have to offer.
To keep it short and sweet, here are the 5 things I can’t wait to use for my newborn/ baby:
I love the look and concept behind these covers! I love the fact that I have one cover that I can use as a car seat cover AND a nursing cover. The patterns are fly and I feel like they would be making a statement rocking them. (Enter outfit of the day photo!) Not only do I love the potential of these covers, I support the mompreneur behind the brand, and the customer service is stellar. When I contacted the company with a concern because I purchased the wrong cover (we were initially told baby N was a girl) she did not hesitate in getting it resolved for me– it was the best customer service experience I could ask for! I love supporting “small” businesses and mompreneurs, so for me this was a no brainer. I’m super excited to use this cover– get ready to see plenty of photos of me with this!
2. Green Sprouts wooden comb and brush set
Okay, don’t judge me. I hate those cheap, plastic baby combs and brushes on the market. I love the idea of wooden hair tools for a baby (though the bristles are still soft) and I’m excited to give them a try. My hope is that they are more durable, and actually work in terms of keeping baby’s hair in place, rather than collecting lint and every other particle that floats in the air.
I waited patiently for an irresistible sale (Black Friday) before I purchased this baby wrap. It comes highly recommended from my baby wearing friend, because of the lightweight material, which is perfect for Florida weather. I love my Ergo carrier (which I still plan on using) but I’ve also been wanting to try wraps because they boast a lighter, more comfortable hold for mommy AND baby. I would love the convenience of just wrapping and going without having to worry about buckles or straps all the time. I absolutely plan on baby wearing as much as possible, and I can’t wait to put this beauty to use!
I loathe the paper thin baby wash cloths that we purchased before I had J. I understand the idea is to have something gentle for your newborn, but these cloths were annoying because they were so thin and frail, and stuck to EVERYTHING when we did the laundry. Nick likes them so we still have a few, but I knew that I wanted to look for something with a little more texture to it, this time around. I actually stumbled upon these bamboo wash cloths on Amazon and fell in love with their packaging (and the fact that they are organic, of course!) Added incentive is the brand initiative. I read their back story after I found the company on social media, and found that a percentage of their proceeds goes towards the fight against human trafficking. Now that’s buying power! As I write this post, I am looking for ways to extend my support of the brand with more purchases, like those adorable bandana bibs they have available!
5. Swaddle Designs Muslin blankets
I LOVE muslin blankets! They were absolutely my favorite blankets to use when I had J because of their multi-use awesomeness. I used them as swaddle blankets, a burp cloth, a nursing cover, a car seat cover– I’ve even used them to cuddle up to a time or two. (When clean, of course.) I was literally moments away from ordering a few muslin blankets online when I was contacted by the creator of Swaddle Designs blankets for a product review and giveaway (coming once baby N arrives!!). Ummm… of course I will! I’m over the moon excited to put these adorable blankets to use and I’m so happy to have them in our baby bundle. (Keep your eyes peeled for that review and giveaway, too!)
Now, let’s not be mistaken. Some things go without being said or listed. Like every single baby item that we used with J, that we will now be using with N. Our bassinet, our glider/rocking chair, our rock n’ play sleeper (we LOVE this little gem!), baby toys and accessories and so forth. Some things hold so much sentimental value that we are beyond gracious that we get to use them again and keep them in our little family. But these 5 essential products have me so excited. Oh, and I can’t forget the 4Moms mamaRoo that I managed to get for $40 –in excellent condition– from our local consignment shop. That little rocket ship is just too awesome for words!
Sharing is caring, let me know what you can’t wait to put to use, for your little!
