MOMMY PRODUCTS

Hey new moms!
I've been out of internet for about a month! But now I'm back with all kinds of new mommy info to share with you!

Some products look so great on the shelf at Babies r us that you just GOTTA HAVE IT! But then you get home and it's like... what the heck did I buy this for?

And sometimes there are 50 brands of the same product, and you have to buy 10 of them before you find a good one! 

That's what this blog is about.

I had help creating it unknowingly from my cousin Katie Pynn! Thanks Katie! I value her opinion as a top notch mommy, and have never been let down.

Product 1: CARSEATS
The best I've tried is the Eddie Bauer. Katie's pick is the Britax. Both have deep seats and relatively easy buckles. Both make you feel like your little one is safely snug. Jaden used to cry and cry when I put him in the car. When I finally installed his Eddie Bauer- the crying stopped- thank goodness! A little cushion goes a long way!

Product 2: CARRIERS
First, I tried the Moby. It was great for Jaden when he was up to about a month old, then he was too big for it. I also needed to practice using it while I was pregnant. They seem quite complicated at first, but once you get the hang of it- they are fine.
Next I tried a variety of baby book bags and banana slings all of which gave me a back ache. UGH! But, Katie mentioned the Boba, and boom, here's a carrier made by someone who has actually carried a kid (I'm assuming). There's also the ERGObaby carrier- similar to the boba. Supposedly, the ERGObaby is uncomfortable for petite moms like me, but great for everyone else. Boba's are just like magic! You can carry your giant babies around all day in these and your back is fine. LOVE THEM!

Product 3: BOTTLES
I haven't tried a bottle I didn't like. So far, my favorite is the Playtex vent air with the angled head. AWESOME!

Product 4: PUMP
Um, I haven't found a good one yet- can someone PLEASE suggest one!!! I've been using my hand, and my hand is tired!

Product 5: FORMULA
Don't use it... sorry. But I've heard that good start is the best. Thanks Angel- I trust her top notch mommyness as well.

Product 6: RANDOM SIDE PRODUCTS LIKE CHANGING PADS AND DIAPER TRASHBAGS:
Summer infant. Awesome products... I have been happy with everything I've bought from them.

Product 7: SUNSCREEN
California baby.

Product 8: BABY WASH
I tried EVERY kind in life, and my favorite is also the cheapest! Don't ya just love it when that happens. It's baby magic night time lavender and chamomile body and hair wash. It's wonderful.

Product 9: DIAPERS
I use cloth diapers, and I like gdiapers, another product that Katie told me about, though I didn't use them until my friend (another top notch mommy) Angela showed me how in person. I'm the kind of person who needs to see it!

I need a tenth product because 9 is just weird. Also, spelling the word weird is weird. Isn't it I before E except after C? I guess there's more to that rule than we know! Wow, I'm tired. If you know of an excellent baby product that you LOVE, comment on here so I can LOVE it too! 

Bye y'all :)
