There is only so much you can do to prepare to become a mom because experience is the best teacher! Since Aniston was born we have learned so much and I wanted to share a few of my favorite baby products that I consider must-have items if you’re about to take on parenthood! Each baby is different, but these have been lifesavers for us and they are some of the best baby products you can find. Hope it’s helpful to some of you:)
Diaper Rash- HERE This is the best diaper rash cream. It’s maximum strength and it takes it away almost immediately for me.
Bottles- Favorite cheap ones HERE ($3.65) Favorite moderate priced HERE ($26 for two)
Formula Single Serve- HERE these are great for your diaper bag when you are out and about!
Teething Necklace- HERE These are Baltic amber beads and when they are warmed up against baby’s skin they soothe and relieve pain. I keep Aniston’s on under her clothes all the time besides bedtime. I learned that the lighter the color the more relief it gives. I had no idea Aniston was even cutting teeth with these, she was her normal happy self.
Nursing pads- HERE These are the BEST!! They are expensive for one pair of pads but 100% worth it. I used the single pair the whole time with Aniston. The best thing about them is you don’t have to wear a bra to bed with these ones.
Stretch Mark Cream- HERE I was so nervous about stretch marks and wanted the best stuff. This is the number one cream. I didn’t get stretch marks with Aniston so I didn’t use it and can’t speak from experience but it was nice to have on hand incase I needed it and people that use it can’t say enough great things about it.
Diaper Scented Bags- HERE These are a must have in your diaper bag!! When Aniston has a blowout and messes her clothes we just put her clothes in these scented bags so it doesn’t stink up the diaper bag and we can wash it at home.
Mattress- HERE I had no idea what to get when it came to a mattress.. I did a lot of research and this was the best one I found and it has really great reviews! You’ll need a waterproof cover too! HERE
Bath Tub- HERE I love how compact this is. It’s simple and doesn’t take up too much room.
High Chair- HERE This high chair is amazing! It doesn’t take up a lot of space and it fits right up to the table so it’s like Aniston is actually sitting eating with us.
Bumbo- HERE this helps them strengthen their back to sit up on their own. I would sit Aniston in this everyday and a week later she was sitting up. Also it’s great for when you want them to be stationary somewhere and not worry about them rolling or anything. I’d sit Aniston it on the counter while I cook and while I got ready in the mornings. Make sure you strap them in!! Mine didn’t have a tray but I wish it did so she could play with toys. I’d suggest getting this one with a tray!
