I have been wanting to make this blog post for awhile now. I work with a lot of mommys to be and new moms, and I happen to be a product junkie! I love baby products! When I was pregnant I talked to every mom about what bottles were the best, what stroller is best and what sleep aids they used! When Brody was born, I tried them all! I still get asked today some of my favorite products, so I am HAPPY to show you my favorite things :)
First my Favorite!
The Wombie.
Get it. Now!
This was recommended to me by another Mommy, Jessica Hudson. She SWORE by the wombie & white noise for her two amazing sleepers. So of course, if it worked for her, I had to try it. We bought the wombie and by 1 week old Brody was sleeping 8 hours straight a night. I had to wake him up to feed him. For moms of little ones, the wombie is the best sleep sack out there because it re-creates your womb. They can move their arms and wiggle, while feeling secure and wrapped. Think less straight jacket, more comfort. It can be bought at
www.wombie.com, amazon.com, diapers.com
$29
This was Brody's first night in the wombie! As you can see ! He is out! He LOVED his arms by his face, and the wombie allowed him to do that!
White noise machine!
I swear by this. I heard the other day that inside the womb your baby hears at 100 decibels . That is louder than your hair dryer. They hear everything from you talking, swallowing and digesting! So the whole "shhhhh babies are sleeping" comment, should be gone. Babies can sleep in noise, they are used to it. But they are used to white noise! So lets re-create it for them. With the combo of a great sleep routine, Brody is sleeping 14 hours in his crib every night. I have one amazing sleeper, but I must say we used the right tools to get there. It wasn't easy but it paid off! We use the my baby sound machine from Target.

The Bob.
Simply, it's the best. Not much to say about it except if you like to go for runs with your baby its the best! It also stores so much!

Dr. Brown Bottles
This was reccomened to me by one of my best friends Tessa. She was a long time nanny and swore by these. They were amazing! Honestly they are. The nipple size increases with age, and the flow of the bottle is great for preventing air , which leads to gas bubbles and grumpy babies! They have a few parts so you have to clean them well, but the work of cleaning is worth it in the long run!
3 pack at target $18.99
Along with the dr. brown bottles get the dr. brown bottle warmer and sterilizer! SERIOUSLY! so easy and so great!
Both from Target 32$ for the warmer and $16 for the sterilizer!
Shae Moisture Lotion & Shampoo
Shae Moisture lotion and shampoo was recommend to me by my long time friend and mommy friend Britnie Long. She said it was the best smelling lotion out there. It smells AMAZING! Seriously you will want it for yourself! It is organic and delicious! You can pick it up at Target. The best part is it lasts forever!

Honest Diapers
I have been allergic to perfumes in laundry detergents for as long as I can remember. So when I was pregnant I was curious if Brody would too. Of course I washed all his clothes in Dreft, but around 9 months old Brody was getting yeast infections and diaper rashes galore!
This was another recommendation by Britnie Long. Honest Diapers are AMAZING! Not only are they adorable, but a bundle can last way longer than a month. Usually it last me 1 1/2 months sometimes 2. It is $70.95 for the "bundle" but it is worth every penny. No more yeast infections or diaper rash! Honest is a great non-toxic diaper company! And they are adorable!
The bundle comes with 6 different diapers, and 4 packs of wipes!
Let me know if you are interested, I can invite you!

The LollaCup
My mom and I love the show shark tank! And we are guilty of buying the products right as we watch! One of the great products from Shark Tank is the Lollacup! It is amazing. Brody loves to tip back his sippy while he drinks, and the cups with the straw never sucked up the water. This straw is weighted, so he always can get water. Plus it is so easy for him to hold! Honestly, how adorable!

Summer Video Camera Monitor
$219 at Target
We love our video monitor! Honestly LOVE it! It gives me such peace of mind to see Brody every night and know that he is safe and sound. The night vision is amazing, and the sound detection is great. A video monitor is a must have!
Hanna Anderson Sleepers
I am obsessed with these jammies! They are the cutest thing on earth. My sister swore by them and of course now I do too. I think nothing hugs their amazing little bodies better. I have never bought a pair for full price. Costco gets shipments and check for local outlet stores. Or at the end of the season they have big sales. They originally cost $34 on their website. But check out costco and outlets!
please keep checking back for more products and other things I Love :)
