Our little guy Eli is just past the 6 week mark and there are a few items that we have come to love.
They’re more expense up front than disposables, but save a ton in the long run. We’ve got the one-size and plan to adjust the snaps out as little man grows. Eighteen is the magic number for us as it allows us to have a couple in each of our diaper bags and still have rotations of seven. With a nighttime insert that protects from those massive night pees, they work great. We just toss them in the washer every night and haven’t had a problem yet.
#2 Prince Lionheart Ultimate Wipes Warmer and Natural Flannel Baby Wipes
this is an awesome idea. Working in a daycare, I always felt bad for the poor kids’ bottoms getting wiped with the ac-temped wipes. The warmer takes care of this for our guy and we can toss the flannel wipes in with the diapers
I was a little skeptical of these at first, but after Rachael explained them to me and showed me how to use them, I’ve become a believer. They are perfect for swaddling at the shoulder or under the arms. But the best part about them is the design that lets you set one in a car seat, snap the little one in and swaddle around both baby and straps.
I know my wife love this as it puts Eli at the perfect height for breastfeeding (Full disclosure: My wife is short. Okay she’s very short – with one of those small strike zone torsos. Taller women might need an extra pillow to make the Boppy hit the perfect height). I like the Boppy because I can use it to snuggle him up to me at night when Mommy is tired and just needs some sleep.
This sprayer is easy to install (I think it took a crescent wrench, a pair of scissors and about 4 minutes), works great and is useful for far more than the makers intended. Trust me, you’ll be really glad for it the first time your little one drops a deuce in the baby bath or decides to display the projectile spit-up trick they learned from their baby friend or if Dad is just a hairy beast that needs to hose down the shower after using it. Seriously – lots of uses. Oh, and it makes spraying out cloth diapers pretty simple too.
