Pump Storage bags: Great for storing milk and laying them flat in the freezer so it does not take up so much space. Pricey but worth it.
Pump Wipes: I use these at work when I am finished pumping since I do not have a clean sink to soak them in soapy water. It leaves a residue but its much easier than rinsing because then you have to dry them really good before the next pumping session. Pricey but worth it.
Nursing Bras: Trial and Error, got some at H & M, target, nothing seemed to be comfy. Found these lightly padded ones at Pennys and they work well. I have 4 of them 2 nude and 2 black.
Tanks: These are just regular tanks with a built in bra that are nice to wear to bed because they are comfy and give you support. I am still getting used to wearing a bra to bed, I hate it. LOL
Dapple: I squirt this in sink with warm water to wash pump parts, binks, bottles, plastic toys (since he has everything in his mouth). Sometimes with animals or non plastic things that cant soak in a sink or be washed in washer, I will wipe down with dapple or the babyganics cleaner & water.
Baby ganics all purpose cleaner: I use this for cleaning bathroom counters, bathtubs, and things that you would normally use all purpose cleaner on. Its safe and organic.
Cetaphil Lotion & Soap: I use this because Oliver has really dry skin, however it has no smell. SO from time to time I still will use Johnson and Johnsons because I love that baby fresh smell.
Bath Towels: I like these light weight bath towels for after the tub, they are nice and snuggly like a blanket.
Aden and Anais sleep sacks: These are working really well to sleep in, they are light weight and they remind him of his blankets he used as a newborn, and still now when it is not so hot out! He likes to rub it while he is falling asleep. We also have a cotton one in a different brand that works well too.
Sophie the giraffe: He LOVES this, he holds it, chews on it, squeaks it. He also likes the one with rings on it. Plus its adorable... and I am contemplating getting more of these. They have a deer, cat, mouse, bear, and more!
Kiki the elephant:This is like Sophie but way cheaper and is natural rubber and squeaks just the same. He loves chewing on the elephant's ears. They also have a monkey, lion, and lamb in this.
Bright Starts Snuggle and Teethe Monkey: He has this and a giraffe, he loves how it crinkles when he holds it.
Infantino Mirror: This makes music, has crinkles, taggies, and a mirror. He plays with this a ton in his car seat.
Ergo Baby carrier: Oh the Baby carrier. I wanted to get one, but the truth is it hurts my back and I think all of them would. Wraps, carriers= back achers. Maybe I just have to get used to it or I am a whimp, but I am thinking he's only going to get bigger. It goes up to like 45 lbs, and there is no way in hell I will be trucking him around when he's that big. I also font trust myself to wear it while hiking ( I am kind of a ditz sometimes) so Cory wears it hiking and it works great. Oliver does like it though anytime we have worn it, he falls right to sleep. It is also supposed to be good for the hips!
Can't believe it has been 4 months!!! AHHH time flies!
