portable white noise machine
We are starting to get much more comfortable traveling around with Kessler, so this portable white noise helps us keep her environment consistent no matter where we are. We use it in the car, in her pack and play at other people’s homes, and at the table at a restaurant. It clips on to her carseat or the edge of a crib/pack and play, so we can try to enforce naptime on the go.
ergo baby carrier
Kessler has made it to three college football games in her three months of life, and the Ergo Baby has made that possible. It keeps her on your chest, has a lot of structure and stability and grows with her. Newborns can fit in the Ergo, but so can older kids. It is a pretty big financial commitment, but I see us using it for a long time. Also it is something that dad won’t mind wearing!
biiby bib
Where was this when I was a new nursing mom?! The Biiby Bib is a “breastfeeding bib” that sticks in the bottom of your bra while you nurse. It catches milk rundown and spit up that ensues while you are feeding your baby. I have also stuck the tab in the top of Kessler’s onesies and used it as a bib on her while I am burping her after a feeding. These are a great thing to have at your nursing station when you are first learning the ropes of breastfeeding. They are a great material, and they wash extremely well.
