You should invest in some shower crayons

u/KingOfSockPuppets · 19 pointsr/todayilearned

Probably something like these ones I had as a kid. They were indeed the shit.

u/charliealamode · 14 pointsr/AsianBeauty

Lanolin. You can get a couple of cheap options at the drug store or on amazon this is the one I use, or this is really similar. Or Holy Snails has a balm that I've heard is good, but I remain too cheap to order it.

u/AstarteHilzarie · 12 pointsr/BabyBumps

I accidentally hit save, here are some more items you might want to register for:

Corner bumpers more of a concern when baby starts moving, but if you get it out of the way now you don't have to worry about it later. Same goes for plug covers and cabinet locks! Furniture anchors are a must-have, too. I haven't registered for those yet, need to figure out how many we need.


Pack'n'Play portable playpen, changing station, play mat, and bassinet. Even if you don't travel much, I think it will be handy for taking baby around the house while I do chores. They come in all kinds of designs, this one just stood out because of my nursery theme.

A glider or rocking chair, dresser/changing station, and crib. I don't have recommendations for these because I got mine as hand-downs.

Baby monitor I'm going with middle of the line video, because the audio only ones aren't much cheaper, so why not? I'd like to be able to peek in on baby and make sure he's okay without constantly disturbing him by entering the room. These come in all ranges with all kinds of features, so look at a few to figure out what you want.

Bibs. I love these because they have food-catchers. Mess will still happen, but it looks like these will at least lower the amount.

Infant soothie pacifiers

Breastfeeding pillow for sitting up Probably superfluous with the other one, but I like that it straps around your waist, cushions your back, and has pockets for drinks/snack/phone.

Pacifier clips, so you aren't knee deep in pacifiers that keep falling on the floor

Butt paste. I've heard a lot about this from other moms, apparently it's the best diaper cream.

Butt spatula admittedly I felt silly with this one, but the reviews are raving. Butt paste gets everywhere, and it's water resistant so an utter pain to clean - especially under your nails. On top of that, this makes sure you get a nice, even layer for baby's comfort.


Breastfeeding scarf! I think this thing is so neat, especially with a winter baby. You can wear it like an infinity scarf, but it'd big enough that when baby is ready to eat it will cover both of you comfortably! There are a lot of different styles, I picked a black one and a grey one just so they will go with any outfit.

Graco glider soother I picked this because I thought it was neat, then I saw a bumper with post partum advice list it on her must-have rundown.

Diaper bag! I went for the backpack style so DH and I could both comfortably use it, and honestly I don't want to deal with baby in one arm and an over-the-shoulder bag on the other.

First aid and grooming kit

Bottle sterilizer, because screw trying to hand wash them

Bottle warmer, no microwave/boiling water and guess


Bottles!

High chair. I picked this one because it is a 4-in-1, it adjusts from infant all the way up to toddler booster, so I know I'll get my use out of it.

Puj tub - it folds into your sink to be a warm, soft bathing surface for baby, and then when you're done you hang it flat in the shower, bo fuss, no mold!

I also registered at Target and BRU for some variety, some things that I don't have amazon links for:

Travel system.... I absolutely want one that is a carrier, clicks into a car base or a stroller. Getting two bases, one for each car, and the stroller base, would probably still be cheaper than buying two car seats, a carrier, and a stroller, and with these systems you don't have to wake baby up with every transistion.

Various cloth products, swaddlers, burp blankets, bath towels, bibs, etc. These are everywhere so just pick whatever suits you! I'm not registering for any clothes just because I know everyone is going to see "the cutest little onesie" and get it regardless.

Diapers! You can never have enough. I'd get a couple of packs from each size range. Don't open them until you know how big baby is, so you can exchange any that start too small.

Toys galore. Again, people will give you these registered or not, but if you see something that really strikes you, throw it in there! Jumpers and playpads are good to pick out.

Nursery decor - if you haven't gotten it all yet, black-out curtains, crib set, sheets, matress protectors, diaper genie, changing pad, laundry hamper, mobile, etc etc.

Books! Instead of cards, I'm going to ask people to bring inexpensive books with their personal note to baby, that way he can keep their messages as he grows. I put a good amount of books between $3-$6 on my registry for this, so hopefully we won't get a million copies of the same book.

This turned into an epic novel, but I hope it helps you with some starting places! Check out the reviews and similar products on things I linked, hopefully it will lead you to some things you like!

u/Dr8ton · 5 pointsr/TalesFromYourServer

This is the secret to life.

I used this as a kid. I used this in the Army. My buddies in the Army loved it. I now use it on my kids diaper rash. I still use it on hot summer days.

Use powder to stay dry.
When you get home, dry you junk. I usually stand over a box fan.

Apply this stuff to the affected area.

Please keep in mind that my face was a tiny bit angry in the pictures from last night as I had just finished OCM. The morning pictures are from right after I woke up, before doing any of my morning routine. :)

My skin type: Pretty dry, acne-prone (obviously), prone to redness. I also have dermatillomania (compulsive skin picking) which creates a lot of scabs/scars.

u/kerida1 · 4 pointsr/toddlers

When i did a trip with my kid at 18mths old (he is the same will not sleep unless in his bed usually) I had multiple items at the ready and would swap once i saw him loosing interest. Things other than the ipad that he loved, books ( he loves when you read to him), water wow books from Melissa and Doug, I got a monthly pill organizer and filled each little spot with a treat like puffs, cherrios, fruit snacks etc and he would work on opening and closing the little doors to find what was inside ( he was more excited to open and close than actually eat it). I also had his fav stuffed animal, a little bear he could work on buckles etc.
I travelled early in the morning because he is well behaved in the morning. He slept like crap the night before we returned and only the ipad would work ( i got him little headphones we practiced using so as not to annoy others) he watched the ipad for about 30 mins and i noticed he was drifting and i took him out his seat and held him as he slept all the way back ( i actually had him just sit in the airline seat and sent his carseat as baggage, i know having them in the carseat is safer so please don't judge it was what worked best for him)

Lanolin! I use 100% pure lanolin (meant for breastfeeding mothers) on my lips at night and it is awesome! I use this

u/krone6 · 4 pointsr/ABDL

This on every change. It works with my cloths and that puts me skin through a war zone, but with this I can stay in the most acidic of environments with ease for 12 hours in cloths (~8 sleeping then few more awake).

u/witch_life · 3 pointsr/BabyBumps

Burt's Bees Baby 100% Natural Multipurpose Ointment This stuff rules. I use it as an all over moisturizer, it fixes the weird chapped skin babies get, and works fantastic as a diaper cream (also compatible with cloth diapers!). It's a big old tub. We use it every day for almost three months and I'm less than a quarter way through the tub. Smells great, too.

At some point your kid is going to get gas and they won't understand what is happening to their butt and they will flip the fuck out. Keep gas drops handy! The Little Remedies Tummy Relief Drops work well.

u/YodaYodaCDN · 3 pointsr/AsianBeauty

Thanks for the lipcare tip! This one?

u/aka_____ · 3 pointsr/BabyBumps

We use Earth Mama Diaper Balm after every change, and Boudreaux's Natural Butt Paste at the first sign of redness. So basically the same as your idea. I really don't like the Honest all purpose balm though, just a heads up. I don't think it smells great to begin with but once LO has peed, it smells much worse. Never tried California Baby though.

We've never had a full blown rash with this method except one time after my MIL overfed her pineapple at 10 months old 😡 and then tried to play it off like "she must be teething". Uh, no. It was the overdose of acidic fruit, but thanks.

u/tortillachip38 · 3 pointsr/FormulaFeeders

It wasn’t immediate from what I remember. I think it took like 24-48 hours. We used these and they worked really well. Now we’re using the mommy bliss probiotic cause they’re cheaper but they work pretty good too.

u/Odellia · 3 pointsr/BabyBumps

And more heavy duty zinc stuff when she's really red with a liner (we used. Viva paper towels as liners)

u/crack_a_toe_ah · 3 pointsr/FormulaFeeders

Sometimes babies don't do well with a particular regular formula, but do fine with another regular formula. We tried a few different ones before asking a friend who had four babies for help. She confidently told us GoodStart would work. I had avoided it until then because I hate Nestle and their formula but she was right; he tolerated it really well and his eczema improved. We also used a lot of Aveeno baby eczema lotion.

u/BellaLou324 · 3 pointsr/clothdiaps

Unfortunately I have no laundry advice, as free and clear always works for us, however, I would like to recommend the Grovia Magic Stick for the rash. This is my secret weapon that I give all new moms, whether or not they cloth diaper. It's safe for cloth diapers, and whenever my guy has any redness at all, it goes away after one application of this. We actually just put it on every night and morning and he has rarely had a rash. Plus it lasts FOREVER. We bought one over a year ago and are still using the same one.

It might not be what you were asking, but it may help with the redness!

u/Starkmoon · 3 pointsr/JUSTNOMIL

My go to is Metanium .

My kids are 16 now and I still have a tube for sweat rashes and visiting friends babies. I also apparently started a small cluster of purchases in Berlin because my friend showed her Midwife the tube I gave her as a new baby gift.

u/KellySmithPhotos · 3 pointsr/beyondthebump

We were the same way. Our dentist suggested these spiffies. We do teeth then bedtime routine with bottle and then wipe her teeth before she falls asleep. They worked well till we cut out her bedtime bottle and didn't need to do it abymore.

u/katushka · 2 pointsr/Mommit

My son had reflux, like yours not bad enough for the dr to give us a prescription. We had luck with this gripe water:

https://www.amazon.com/Mommys-Bliss-Gripe-4-Ounce-Bottles/dp/B00E3Y0N5G?th=1

If you read the ingredients it's basically antacid with some ginger. (Some gripe waters have a lot of sugar/corn syrup, so read the ingredients!) But maybe worth a try, it helped us a lot. We also have to bounce our son to sleep on a yoga ball (while babywearing) and then transfer him to his bassinet. The rock-n-play bassinet also worked great to keep him at an incline and he slept much better in that than our flat bassinet (even after elevating the head of it, he never slept well there).

u/EnchantedNanny · 2 pointsr/AdviceAnimals

Laugh all you want at the name, but the best thing ever made..in my humble opinion is Boudreaux's Butt Paste

u/sourdoughobsessed · 2 pointsr/BabyBumps

This is the one I preferred. Same idea but no “filters” to buy and I thought it worked better.

u/jeremypr82 · 2 pointsr/Dentistry

Fluorosis is very common actually, but for the most part it's not very noticeable. I wouldn't worry about it, just try not to let your child swallow much fluoride toothpaste before they reach age 7ish. It's not like it's a one-off failure, it needs to happen consistently for it to be noticeable. It sounds like you're doing well. If you want to really stay on top of their oral health, you should start using xylitol products. Xylitol kills the bacteria that causes cavities and prevents plaque from forming on their teeth, among a number of other beneficial properties. The goal is to try and get 5 applications per day.

These wipes are really good for small children/babies after a meal/bottle: http://amzn.com/B001MS7BIS

Xylitol bulk sugar would be the most cost effective method, you could roll their pacifier in it, or sprinkle it on something else, directly into the mouth, etc: http://amzn.com/B000ORSIJ4

u/snailrabbitflamingo · 2 pointsr/Mommit

During this stage, I used "treasure baskets" a lot. I tried to keep one in each room that kiddo spent much time in. And I had basic categories of toys that I kept in each basket.

  • Something that rolls

  • Something that rattles

  • Something soft

  • Something to chew

    And “toy” didn’t always have to be a toy in the traditional sense. For a rolling object, we used balls but also used shower puffs. Something soft might be a small stuffed animal, or it might be a fuzzy sock. We let kiddo's interests guide this process. If he found something fascinating and it was safe for him to play with, we put it in a basket. If it wasn’t safe, we tried to find something similar that was safe.

    Some of kiddo's favorite toys from this time:

  • Baby shoes

  • Jicaro nut

  • Vuvuzela

  • Plastic tubes

  • Weighted wobble toy

  • Small car

  • Shower puffs

  • Egg shaker

  • Hacky Sack

  • Teether

    Once he was crawling and becoming interested in the kitchen cabinet, we emptied one cabinet out for him to play with. We put some baby-safe containers and dishes inside, and let him do whatever he wanted.

    We really didn’t buy much in the way of toys for this stage. A few hand-me-downs, and a few stuffed animals. Nothing really worth noting.
u/bananasmcgee · 2 pointsr/BabyBumps

One of our friends lent us this infant bathtub and we LOVED it. You can only use it for 4-5 months, but it's so nice to be able to bathe your baby in the sink. It folds down flat for easy storage and is super easy to clean. We even threw it in a carryon when we traveled!

Also, someone gave us a white noise machine and we are so happy to have it. When my mom or my in-laws come to visit, they can't seem to remember not to stomp all over the place or slam doors.

u/coratrash · 2 pointsr/AskReddit

this stuff works wonders on dry and flakey skin from all of the chemicals you are using to clean it.
Also, be sure to change the towels you are washing your face with daily. Wash your hands before and after washing your face. Use hot water to open up your pores, but then splash your face with cold water to tighten them again when you are finished. Always use a medicated moisturizer on your skin when it feels oily or dry. It will even you out.

u/GrowingASeahorse · 2 pointsr/beyondthebump

This was a godsend for us when Fiona was little and had cradle cap all over. I'd rub it in all good and comb out all the flakes. I did it every few days for a few weeks and it cleared up. We still use the ointment for stuff all the time (diaper rash, dry skin patches, etc) a year later. :)

u/mmmmm_pancakes · 2 pointsr/NewParents

Here's the butt product we use, in case it helps.

Combined with any good-quality wipes, this seems to result in a rash-free butt even with dirty diapers for extended periods. A rash does appear if we switch to crappier wipes or cream, though.

Also, my wife wants me to mention that her estimate of diapers is closer to 10/day, for the record. :)

u/teenlinethisisnitro · 2 pointsr/beyondthebump

We love Penaten. My Canadian MIL swears by it. It also helps to use Water Wipes.

u/simobk · 1 pointr/AskMen

I should answer the question myself, so here it is, as detailed as I can.

I shave once a week because I believe my skin would not recover otherwise, but lately I've been wondering if it might not be actually hurting and if I would not benefit from not letting the hair grow too long.

As for my protocol, there was a post a while ago on Reddit where a stripper explained how she shaved down there. I took her method, and adapted it, plus my own little things :

  1. I shave under the shower. I find the steam helps.
  2. Wash and exfoliate face with water as hot as I can. I use Neutrogena Men Razor Defense Face Scrub
  3. Apply baby oil to face. I use Johnson's Baby Oil, Aloe Vera and Vitamin E
  4. Shave using a single pass in the direction of hair growth. I use Gillette Fusion Proglide Power Men's Razor and Aveeno® Skin Relief Shave Gel. The single pass doesn't get me a clean shave, but I can live with it.
  5. Wash with cold water
  6. Apply Dove Men+Care Hydrate + Post Shave Balm

    Finally, I try to apply Nivea Soft Refreshingly Moisturizing Creme every day.

    Even with all this, I usually look like this on the first 24h after shaving.
u/Booperelli · 1 pointr/Mommit

My little has RSV too :( she turned a month old yesterday. I feel you, it's terrible. I got this snotsucker and it is excellent. Highly recommend it. We have a humidifier going as well and I steam her out in the shower. Her 1 month appointment is tomorrow, hoping maybe to get a nebulizer. I took her to the ER this weekend because redicare was closed (she had been sick since last Mon but was having labored breathing that morning) and they dxed her but didn't do anything for her. Shes in my arms now and her breathing is so crackily :(

Hope your little gets better quick :(

I smashed my face last year when I fell down a mountain. Thanks to the following, my face is back to the exact same with the exception of a teeny scar. Mederma, a tad expensive due to SPF but worth it cuz it was my goddamn face, triple antibiotic ointment linked here but cheaper when purchased as a generic, and Cocoa butter with vitamin E, also available in Walmart/Target places for half the price as listed here. Basically what you're looking for is lotions with vitamin E. I've had luck looking in the "ethnic" hair/lotion/body products section, and there's a whole variety of oils and lotions and rubs. Personally, my favorite is this one and it's usually $2 in store. Bio Oil can be a bit expensive, but a great and comparable product is Africa's Best Moroccan oil, or generic Baby Oil. Again, most of these products are available at Walmart/Target for a fraction of the price. They're all fairly pricey online because of the weight/shipping prices, despite it being shipped via Prime.

u/SpringCleanMyLife · 1 pointr/Bulldogs

Just making sure you're aware you should be cleaning it every day for her entire life (assuming you don't need to amputate).

What are you cleaning with? Are you sure you're getting all the way in there? There can be some crazy nooks and crannies that are hard to reach; you need to really dig into some of them.

What's worked well for both my bullies with innie corkscrew tails is a thorough daily cleaning with a sensitive skin baby wipe, plus a once weekly or so application of Desitin (diaper rash cream) or Penaten creme. I want to stress that this something you must keep up with, it is just part of the daily routine for your bully.

u/ForLoveOfHumanKind · 1 pointr/Parenting

u/Qwilla · 1 pointr/beyondthebump

Wow thank you so much for your reply! I have never heard of that 4Moms Breeze pack n play... it looks awesome! Maybe I'll get that instead since space isn't as much of a concern. Do you have any sheet suggestions for the bassinet top? Or anything else I could add to my list to make it more effective?

I do have some of those swaddles on my registry. I didn't mention them because they were a bit cheaper than my $40 limit thing, but I'm definitely getting some! I also have a car mirror on my registry too.

Thank you for the book suggestions as well! I have the Happiest Baby on the Block and heard wonderful things from the How to Solve Your Child's Sleep Problems. We're intending to do the Ferber sleep training thing around 6 months.

As far as a baby tub, this one was recommended to me. It apparently fits over a sink and you can wash them that way. Would that be a waste of money?

u/Elleandbunny · 1 pointr/beyondthebump

Sophie the giraffe - this is the very soft, but we prefer the soft version. The rings made it easier to hold, and seemed to keep its cool longer than other teethers we had. Also, no holes for mold to grow.

Silicone finger toothbrushes, and baby banana toothbrushes as his teeth came in.

Toys with silicone teethers (on ends or dangling) were also good.

u/tsukino_aiko · 1 pointr/breakingmom

so I am still not 100% whats up with my son but he farts and burps like you described, though not to that degree, if he does have reflux it seems to be mild so I am reluctant to give him meds (my own personal paranoia as I tend to have wonky reactions to even "safe" meds like tylenol) I asked my ped what other options before baby zantac are and she reccomended a product called [Gerber Soothe] (http://www.amazon.com/Gerber-Soothe-Colic-Drops-Ounce/dp/B00CQNR64M), it ain't cheap (about 25-28 bucks for a month) but it's probably in your local pharmacy and that combined with me cutting out milk and the liberal use of simethicone (about 4 times a day) have helped my boy a lot.

Like I said I think your son may have more severe problems, and if it's really a hernia then probiotics are likely to do jack all, but it's something that maybe can help?

Good luck and I hope you get some sleep soon!

u/slipstitchy · 1 pointr/beyondthebump

My LO has a Sophie teething ring in her crib (not the giraffe). Sometimes on the monitor I'll see her wake up, grab it and wave it around in the air before falling back to sleep, it's pretty cute. We gave it to her when we sleep trained at 5 months and put her in her own room. I'll consider a small lovey for night sleep when she can crawl. I don't think I'll ever put a blanket in her crib, it doesn't seem safe to me.

u/kghyr8 · 1 pointr/Dentistry

Start wiping off the teeth after every nursing. You can use a clean washcloth or look for something like Spiffies (https://www.amazon.com/Spiffies-ToothWipes-tripack-Apple-60-Wipes/dp/B001MS7BIS/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1506375148&sr=8-3&keywords=spiffies).

If the decay is progressing then the absolute best thing is to have the dentist apply Silver Diamine Fluoride. It's the best way to kill the bacteria and arrest the decay. Caries can progress rapidly in little ones. Fluoride varnish is good, and can be applied every 3 months, but SDF is more effective at arresting decay.

I would do a 3 month evaluation and keep on a 3 month schedule just to follow her closer. You'd have a better chance of catching the progression. That being said, going to the dentist doesn't prevent cavities. That can only be done at home. You've got to be vigilant at cleaning the mouth frequently and reducing how often she has milk (breastmilk or otherwise) in the mouth.

u/milky_donut · 1 pointr/femalefashionadvice

Have you been to a Dr. or a Derm yet? They may be able to prescribe you something and give you more ideas to help soothe the itch.

The longest mine has ever lasted was a week and I did the above methods along with hydrocortisone. I had luck a few weeks ago with Aveeno Baby Eczema lotion too.

I've heard Caladryl or Calamine lotion may also help, at least from what I've read while trying to search for quick remedies.

u/Tidus77 · 1 pointr/SkincareAddiction

Hmmm, it does look pretty irritated. Given what you've said precluded its appearance and the way it looks, my gut would be that it's a damaged barrier. I'm surprised your simple but good routine hasn't fixed it. You might need more hydration if your skin is having trouble holding onto water - it looks a little dry. Maybe a very gentle toner would help? You could also try an oat based product, e.g. Aveeno Eczema cream (baby line is fine too).

Otherwise, I think you should see a derm or a doctor - they might be able to prescribe something like a steroid that might be more effective or at least know how to treat it better than folks will here. It does seem fairly serious given how long you've had it and your routine.

u/guardiancosmos · 1 pointr/BabyBumps

And for the bigger things, you can usually find ones that fold up or are collapsible. I know there are swings and bouncers that can be folded when not in use. For bathtubs, there are ones like the Puj, that fit in the sink and can fold up when not in use, there are ones shaped like flowers that do the same, there are inflatable ones (though I don't think those are recommended for newborns), and I have a Fisher Price one that has a hook on one end so I can just hang it in the shower when it's not being used.

I live in an apartment, and almost everything I've bought can be folded up or is otherwise easy to store. It's totally doable.

Earth Mamma diaper balm is great. I’ve found it at Walgreens and Walmart before.

But yes, liners or even disposable ones will do the trick.

Organic Diaper Balm by Earth Mama | Safe Calendula Cream to Soothe and Protect Sensitive Skin, Non-GMO Project Verified, 2-Fluid Ounce https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0021HR94K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_.ZYBDbJ36EWE5

Momma love is a similar product and price.

My daughter is very prone to butt burn like yours. First, try to clean with warm water and a very soft cloth, no wipes. Then buy a buttload of Metanium. I used it when we lived in the UK and it was absolutely brilliant and the only product that has actually healed the burns.

I found giving my son baby probiotics helped a lot. When he was too young to chew I gave him Gerber Soothe Colic Drops and then later moved him to BioGaia Probiotic Chewable Tablets.

I found this store brand name teether made out of silicon, it is a ring, which my 5 months old son can hold easily with his tiny hands, he only puts that in his mouth, and nothing else, you can find similar ones one amazon

Here are mine:

  • Secure Beginnings Crib Mattress - a totally breathable crib mattress. You can take the "sleep surface" off and throw it in the washing machine when needed. I surprisingly don't do it that often. The mesh fabric and space under it helps in temperature regulation and air exchange. Basically, helped me as a new mom not worry about suffocation. I ended up going wild and getting two sleep surfaces per mattress. I got one set in the regular size and a mini crib for our room.
  • LED Touch Light - these suckers are rechargeable and hold their charge a long time. They're super portable. What I like best is that you can turn them suuuuper dim, which is great for middle of the night wake ups and diaper changes. We have one hanging from our headboard and one hanging above the changing table. And then another around the house. There are tons of sellers of this type of product and they're quite inexpensive.
  • Wet Bag - a reusable and washable bag to stash wet/dirty stuff. An essential for cloth diaperers, but also great for pooped on clothes, bathing suits, etc.
  • Fischer-Price Ultra-Lite Day and Night Play Yard - this is a smaller and less expensive version of a traditional pack and play. We kept it in the living room and baby spent a lot of time there as a newborn.
  • Gripe Water Lots of gripe water. Good for gas, sometimes hiccups, and gentle relief for stomach upset. Also helps some newborns poop.
  • Grovia Magic Stick Diaper Balm - made for cloth diapers, but would work for sposies. A barrier "cream" on a stick, so you don't have to get your fingers gross. Smells amazing - I literally sniff the stick every time we use it.
  • Freemies - great for hands-free pumping, especially in the car or at work. Fits inside the shirt. Can be hit or miss on if it works for individuals, but it works GREAT for my boobs. Regular flanges hurt me and didn't yield good output, but Freemies agreed with my body wonderfully.
  • Spectra Pump I have nothing but good things to say about the Spectra pump. I have the S1 (battery operated), S2 (plugs in), and the S9 (battery operated, but not as fancy as S1). I haven't had any issues with my pumps, but others have had great customer service experiences. It's a "closed" system, which means it's impossible for milk to get into the pump on accident. This is a good thing.
  • Kiinde Storage Bags - these breastmilk storage bags are more expensive, but highly durable. I love the twist top - much easier to use then a zipper top. We used the whole bottle system from 0-6 months. At six months, he realized he could take the nipple off the bottle and we switched to Como Tomo bottles. But for those months, it was SO NICE to just send the bags to daycare and wash only the nipples (the shells stayed at daycare).
  • Lillebaby Complete Airflow Baby Carrier - while baby carrier preferences will vary widely by body type and personal preferences, I love my Lillebaby most. It doesn't require any special insert for newborns and the lumbar support was awesome. The airflow version was great, as I live in a very hot state.
  • Lectrofan Sound Machine - you may be wondering why this is $45 and other sound machines are $20. Because it is amazing, that is why. Seriously 100% amazing.

    Hope this helps somebody!

    Edit: added a few more after the Spectra.

My daughter used this Tummy Tub 'til she was around 3 (she's a tiny bit in the short side). That seemed to help. I still use it as a barrier between her and the faucet, making bubbles to pour into the big bath, and to have a ready reservoir of rinse water on hair-washing nights. She also likes digging the water out of it to splash.

We still use something very similar to this folding bathtub in our regular tub to this day. Also wastes less water. And the Tummy Tub is used to collect the water from the faucet and pour it in from.

We have a spout cover, too, and it makes me less nervous, but she also went through a phase of jerking it off, making it pointless.

I wanted us to get one of these organisers, since they service as a kind of barrier as well as a distraction.

Paints/crayons helped.

Good luck!

I use Aquaphor or Burt's Bees Zinc cream and this Gripe Water
