New Mommy Must Haves!

Ok- so there are certain things that I cannot live without since the birth of my 5- month-old daughter (where did those 5 months go!). Since several of my friends are about to have their own tiny bambinos I decided to make this list. Hopefully - it will make someone's life a little less stressful, because stress while youre preggers may be a given, but its still no fun.

Heres my current obsessions:

1. Baby powder w/ cornstarch - my daughter has not had one touch of diaper rash - i attribute it to this product. I havent even used diaper cream!

2. Gus & Max super-soft crib sheet- exactly like her favorite blanket and the only way I could get her to sleep in her crib all night.

3. Graco Snugrider Stroller Frame - this lightweight collapsible stroller takes up less space in the trunk, is lightweight, and lets her stay asleep when I just snap her car seat into it.

4. Munchkin disposable pads - Throw a couple of this in your diaper bag - they can be used as changing pads or burp cloths. I leave one on my changing table at all times to help keep messes and laundry to a minimum. (Come on - I have enough to do already!)

5. Enfamil AR formula - it already has the rice mixed in but I can still use regular bottles! I'm all about anything that makes my life easier. BONUS - this formula keeps her from spitting up as much as she was before.

6. Fisher Price cradle swing - the back and forth motion of this swing combined with the mobile and soothing lullabies is still a favorite of my little girl. Sometimes I think this swing is the only way I ever get anything done.

7. Bebe Au Lait Nursing cover - A lifesaver for nursing mothers. Anyone who has ever had to leave the room when there baby got hungry will understand. After I got mine I nursed at restaurants, work (Yes I get to take her!), the mall, you name it - and people were none the wiser!

8. The Miracle Sleep Blanket - this swaddle blanket was the only thing that contained my teeny tiny squirmer. Thanks to you Miracle Sleep Blanket - we'll all get a little sleep.
