I Can’t Live Without…..
When I first had Charlotte I did a bunch of posts about the products that I couldn’t live without. The kind of products that make me smile like this:
I’ve had a number of emails recently from readers telling me that they found the posts really useful and so I thought I would go back and see if I still felt the same way about those products now that Charlotte is 7 months old (on Sunday!). I also have a list of items that I never blogged about that I think are must-buys and will blog about them over the coming weeks.
1. Tommee Tippee bottles - still using these bottles and still love them.
2. Trumpette socks - still think these are the best socks ever plus I get lots of compliments on them.
3. gDiapers - I think I used them for about 3 weeks and ended up going back to disposables. I really disliked them because I found there was a constant smell of pee around Charlotte. I know there are other bloggers that use and like them but I personally would not recommend them.
4. Activity mat - one of the best purchases ever. We have the Shangrila Activity Mat. It was expensive but so very worth every penny. We still use this mat multiple times a day.
5. Mommy hook - yup, this is still a must-buy.
6. Fisher Price little lamb cradle swing - just used this thing today. Twice in fact.
7. Fisher Price soothe and glow seahorse - this little guy still sings Charlotte to sleep every nght. She’s gone from ignoring it, to watching it, to playing with it as she falls asleep.
8. Stork Craft Tuscany glider and ottoman - I sit and feed Charlotte every morning at 7am in this chair with my feet up on the ottoman. I still think it’s ugly but I still absolutely love it.
9. aden + anais muslin blankets - I don’t use these as often now but they were great for swaddling, as a summer blanket, and as a burp cloth when Charlotte was younger.
10. Ergo baby carrier - I just used it today when I went to coffee shop that I knew would not have room for a stroller. Having a baby carrier of some sort is a must.
11. Nursing cami - during the short time that I nursed, this was worn a lot.
12. Onesies - yup, I still prefer the onesies that zip or button all the way up.
13. Nursing bra - I packed my nursing bras away for next time although I wore them for a little while even after I stopped nursing!
