Baby Items I Use Almost DAILY

  1. Enfamil Gentlease -- The little guy has a sensitive tummy and so the doctor recommended this formula. It has worked very well.
  2. Huggies Products -- Specifically, I prefer Huggies diapers and the Natural Care Bath wash. My husband likes Pampers diapers, but this is my list and my vote is for Huggies. To me, they puff up a bit more and so I know without a shadow of a doubt when my baby is wet and they don't have that sickening smell that in my opinion Pampers do.
  3. A Changing Pad -- Everyone told us that we would end up changing diapers all over the house, and we do, but, little man pees everywhere. Thus, it is best that we change his diapers and his clothes ON the changing table.
  4. Johnson and Johnson Products -- We use Johnson and Johnson baby lotion and the diaper cream without complaint from the little guy.
  5. Born Free Bottles -- Made in Israel and BPA free, we started with these bottles and we haven't looked back since.
  6. Born Free Microwave Sterilizer -- Even though the nurses at the hospital told us not to sterilize anything, we still use this every single day with all of our bottles, used pacifiers, etc. It makes us feel better.
  7. Gerber Baby Juice -- White Grape and Pear Juice to help baby boy with his bowel issues.
  8. Soothie Brand Pacifiers -- So Nathanial isn't really the pacifier type, but, he does prefer the Soothie pacifiers over all other. They are 100% silicone. They're not that cute, but he likes them. There is one that is for teethers that he already wants to chew on.
  9. Little Remedies -- A couple drops of Little Noses saline drops and a couple mls of Little Tummies gripe water for a tummy ache and we are good to go! The gripe water is good mixed with a little bit of juice and a touch of water to reduce the hiccups. At least that is what we have found.
  10. GAS DROPS -- Mylacon or generic, I recommend gas drops. They are perfectly safe and they just help when the belly is rolling, rolling, rolling!
  11. Graco Pack n' Play -- Technically, my mother and mother-in-law use this system more than I do when they keep him. It is his crib away from home. Lee and I also pack it and take it as a crib for trips.
  12. Graco Travel System -- It is a little bulky, but the system is pretty neat and I feel safe putting him in the carrier. If you want something lighter than the large stroller, there is a cart that you can put the carrier into that folds up a little bit more and is lighter.
  13. The Baby Bjorn -- For a long time, Nathanial hated his Baby Bjorn! But now, we can go to the grocery store and he is perfectly content!
