My kids are not babies anymore but I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite things I used when they were. Children grow so fast it’s crazy. It’s bittersweet, I love the ages they are now and the things we can do together but I also miss when they would let me hold them all day.
Favorite toys
This piano play gym was played with so much by both of my babies. I love that it converts to a toy that they can play with as they learn to sit up.
These hand and foot rattles are great for when your baby is really little and haven’t really discovered their hands and feet yet. These will help your baby learn that when they move their hands or feet, they create the sound they hear.
This water mat is perfect for little ones on a hot day. My daughter was born in February, so she was still so little when that first summer came. I would fill this up with cool water when we were playing outside and let her lay on it. I love that the water is contained so they won’t actually get wet.
Baby Sleep Must Haves
We got one of these sound machines when my son was born, and it was the first thing we purchased when we found out we were having a second child. It is so customizable in the app. You can have it turn on at the same time every evening and turn off by itself in the morning. For older kids you can set a light letting them know if it’s time to wake up or to stay in bed. LOVE this product.
I have no scientific evidence that this helped my baby sleep every night but I for sure felt that if I didn’t use this on by baby that they would now sleep well which meant I wouldn’t sleep well. Also, it smells AMAZING!
Feeding Must Haves
I always enjoyed when my baby was old enough to start eating some foods. I liked seeing their expression when they tried something new and trying to decipher what they thought about it.
These popsicle molds are great for making your own popsicles. I used my set to freeze breastmilk when my little ones were teething. Great for making fruit and yogurt pops also.
It’s very hard to top the convenience of baby food in a pouch. It’s easy to throw in a bag on your way out the door and you don’t have to carry a spoon if your baby will eat it straight out of the pouch. With that being said those pouches are expensive!!! I bought these reusable pouches when my kids were little so that I could fill them up with whatever I wanted. Super easy to fill.
I’ve got to be honest with you I have washing bibs. I hated the way they would get stained and look gross after just a few uses. I bought these and my whole outlook changed. I would rinse them off after my children got through eating and then just toss it into the dishwasher.
