Hi guys!! ❤ I’d LOVE to hear your favorite baby products for new mamas! Let me know! Have a safe and fun holiday weekend 🥰

Don’t start out warming your milk/formula in bottles. Get them acclimated to room temperature baby water if you are doing formula that way when you’re on the go, you aren’t worried about having to warm up a bottle.

I’m a fellow WLS mama. Some things I learned- it took my milk longer to come in bc I wasn’t eating enough. I had to eat every two hours or wouldn’t produce milk. I also had to supplement with formula from birth. I absolutely loved nursing though 🫶🏻 blessings to you, Yar and that little peanut 😊

Having diapering items downstairs is the best thing. Another thing we did... when we were bottle feeding with breastmilk or formula... we put a small fridge in our room, put already made bottle in it for the night and a bottle warmer so in the middle of the night, we didn't have to go downstairs to get a bottle. When we didn't need to warm bottles anymore, we just used the fridge. It's also nice to keep yourself a few snacks upstairs so when your nursing/feeding and momma needs a snack... you have some on hand.We also had a bouncy chair upstairs and one downstairs. It was nice to have somewhere to set our kids down without it being on the floor while we did things and we didn;t have to take one up and down the stairs. We used those a lot throughout the day.

You, Yar and the baby are so blessed. What kind, generous friends and family you have. ❤

I wouldn't mount a bookshelf on the wall. Buy a shelf that is on the ground, so that way - when baby boy starts crawling/walking he can have books to grab at his level! Book reading is so wonderful for babies! Even just the fine motor skills of grabbing a book and turning pages is important work for little one. ❤

I remember I wanted certain things and my mom told me after I got things set up and ready to go for baby she said. “I love that you have all the things you want for baby, but be patient and be forgiving of it when baby doesn’t like some items. They start young showing their preference and personality.” I’m so happy she told me that cause I think I would have cried after my first refused some bottles and we had to buy different and how he did like certain toys and books and play mats. It was a wild time but it was great advice for me. My kids hatted the bassinet they were crib sleepers right away! Laugh off if baby doesn’t like some things you’ve bought just for baby. It’s a fun adventure learning about the tiny human you create!

girl that blue is YOUR COLOR!!! you are glowing!! so excited for baby to be here and to see you become a mama ❤️❤️

[tami]

So exciting! I loved going through all of my baby shower items as well and getting everything organized.
Things we loved and suggest you get;
- Thermometer
- Baby Bath
- Nested Bean Sleep Sac (or any sleep sac with a zipper and shoulder snaps
- Baby Bouncer lounge chair
- Perhaps a larger diaper bag - just in my experience, it was helpful

[PSL_Lover]

That crib isn't put together very well. The top part of the wood is sticking out. That can be bad for the babies fingers when they start touching things. Best to fix that

[Ash-cwyk]

Does anyone else feel like they’re gonna call him Sage?? 👀

[mskrista]

Use it for books next to your chair! Never too early to start reading. I read a book, sang our prayers/affirmations and sang a song every night!

[brotty]

FYI those extra clips for the diaper bag are straps to clip it to your stroller if you want to not have to carry the bag or have it take up space in your stroller storage while using your stroller.

[A-m]

One thing I would recommend to have right away is baby medicine!! Tylenol, etc.. and especially the Frida windi and gas drops! They’re so gassy the first couple weeks. The windi will be a life saver especially in the middle of the night

[Lola-mxjs]

BRING AN EMPTY DUFFEL BAG, SUITCASE TO THE HOSPITAL - Take all of the baby stuff in the room, diapers, wipes, formula etc. Its for you and you pay for it in your bill, Also ask for more. Delivering a baby can costs thousands.

[raisingzayla]

when we did our baby shower we did books in place of cards so they are all signed too. super cute! 😊

[delisanurse]

I love how your just going with the flow and not putting any pressure on yourself <3

[Sillygooseparade]

I recommend puppy pads for the diaper changing station because poop happens and leaks out much more often than expected and I’d have to wash that cover like 2x a day.

[judipainter]

My babies (sons) are now 41 and 27 years old…I’m enjoying your excitement and preparation for baby boy’s arrival, and wish you only joy and loving memories of this time. Because of the 14 year span between my boys, I thought I had my fill, but I’d trade 10 years of my life for 10 more years of them as littles again 🥰💝💞. I hope you leave some moments of discovery for yourselves and we appreciate you sharing this time with us so generously.

Sweetheart the clothing items you are calling onesies are actually sleepers… Onesies are like little t-shirts with snaps on the bottom that go under his other clothes at least that’s what we say in the Midwest
