6 Baby Items I Couldn't Live Without

6 Baby Items I Couldn't Live Without

1. Comfortable Feeding Chair
After coming out from the hospital, I never thought I would spend so much time feeding.  Comfortable feeding chair, rocking chair or glider is a must.   The last month I was due, my back started to hurt due to unbalanced baby weight, so the glider that I had really saved my back pain.



2. Bobby or other feeding pillow
Just slip in bobby pillow and you can relax on your chair and be glad that baby came out with great love and grace of God.  ^^


3. Nursing bras, nursing tang-top or clothes that are easy to feed

This is a must when you are out or when relatives or friends come to visit.  I cannot think of any other way to feed without a nursing bra.

4. Moby Wrap & Ergo


We had Baby Bjorn, but I couldn't carry my baby after 6 months because he was already 19 pounds.  He wouldn't fit because he was a chubby little boy.  I used Ergo that my friend has, and it works great.  I also read many good reviews about Moby Wrap.  It is what many people recommend as a must-item.  I think I will give a try next time.  ^^

5. aden + anais Swaddle Blankets - Swaddle blankets
I have a nice blanket, but I see so many mothers with aden + anais swaddle muslin blankets.  The material is so light, and it keeps the baby warm and also cool in the summer. But it is around $50 which is on the high end side actually.


6. Changing Pad
Though changing table might not be worth the investment, you can purchase changing pad.  It would save wetting so many blankets and even the bed.




Things that we tried but have not used much

1. Pacifier
I tried so many pacifiers, but my son wouldn't take it.  The last one that I tried that my son liked as a toy was Philips Avent Soothie Pacifier that they give in the hospital.  Unfortunately, the hospital never gave me one, so I purchased one, and my son seems to like it but never as a pacifier.

2. Swing, Exersaucer
Though it is very nice to have, my son would stay less than 5 minutes. 

3. Electric Breast Pump because my son wouldn't take bottles

4. Swaddle Me Blankets
I heard that you need a swaddle me blanket to make the baby feel secure as in the womb, but this was another thing that my son didn't get affected much.

5. White Noise Music
This also was something that my son didn't seem to help.  Now that he is 9 months, we turn on lullaby when he goes to sleep.
