Favorite Baby Products I'm Using Again For Baby #2
I feel like everyone around me is having babies and it’s the most fun ever! Have gotten lots of questions on what were my most used baby products with Blakely and what I would absolutely buy again for this baby, so going to link all of my favorites and explain why below! Also linking a few new things I decided to buy and try for baby brother.
(anything underlined in bold is a clickable link to the product)
1. The Doona - by far my most used baby product with Blakely and I have been using this a ton the second time around. It is the carseat that turns into a stroller. I didn’t buy the Doona until a month after Blakely was born and I don’t know how I survived that long without it! My husband works a lot so I’m pretty much solo all day during the week and this helped me so much especially now with two!
2. Nanit Monitor - we have loved the Nanit. Gives us such peace of mind and I love how when I am not at home I can get on and see my babies from anywhere! We bought a second one for George and the new update now allows split screen when viewing it from your phone which is such a game changer! We also have the travel stands that make it super easy to take with us anywhere.
3. Mamaroo - have used this for both of my babies and they have both loved it. I know some babies don’t but mine preferred this over the Fisher Price Swing!
4. Doc a tot - I feel like everyone recommends this and I do love it and have used this for George but I do think it is so overrated for the price! And we used it for such a short amount of time. But then again I don’t know what else I would use if I did not own it!
5. Uppa Baby Vista Stroller - we love this stroller so much. People always ask if you have the Doona why do you need the Uppa Baby but the Doona is not great for long walks in my opinion and the Uppa Baby is! Also it has so many attachments that make it transition from one child to two so easily.
6. Hatch Sound Machine - we love this for Blakely and got another for George. Can be controlled on your phone and can get really loud which was nice for those newborn days! Also has the ability to change colors for later on when they are sleeping in a big kid bed and want to know when they are allowed to get up or have to stay in bed.
7. Baby Bjorn Bouncer - loved this for when Blakely was little and even long after we would use by the bathtub to put her towel on and lay her on to dry off. George has seemed to like it too!
8. Keekaroo Diaper Pad - this is something new I ordered for baby brother. It’s a wipeable diaper pad, and this has really come in handy with a boy! Super easy to wipe off and clean. Definitely would recommend.
9. Baby Bjorn Carrier - have been excited to try this! didn’t use a carrier a ton with B but now with this being the second child i’m thinking I will a ton more. So far me and my husband have both loved this and how breathable it is. George has seemed to love it too!
10. Bloom Or Mima High Chair (both very similar) - this is pricey but I LOVED it with B. As a newborn it lays back and B would sit in there a ton especially when I was cooking or we were eating. And now she still uses it as a highchair and it grows with her, so will last a long time. I also love the sleek look of it. George now uses it too especially when I am cooking. But if you are looking for a more cost efficient high chair I love this one linked here.
Obviously there are so many other items you need for a baby but these are the ones I would buy over and over again! Especially if you are expecting your first child and plan to have more then they are all worth the investment in my opinion. Feel free to reach out with any questions, I hope this helps!
