Top 5 can't live without baby items

There are a few things that I absolutely love and cannot live without on a day to day basis. I would recommend these items to everyone (starting with the best):

1. Sleepy Wrap - I love love love this thing so much! It is the best for carrying Emily around. Plus she falls asleep in it all the time and then you can just tuck her little head in and she'll just stay like that for hours. This one is especially nice because it's very long and stretchy. If you get one thing at all on this list, it should be this one!!

Here I am walking with Emily, it looks like she's in my shirt :)


Older kids can go in it too




She was asleep about 5 minutes after this picture was taken


2. Miracle Blanket - Friends of ours kindly passed this on to us and we actually kind of forgot about it until she was a few weeks old. Ever since then she's been swaddled in it for all naps and at night too (if she's not in my wrap). Swaddling is so important to keep babies asleep and this one really works! There are others out there that people like too...either way...SWADDLE your baby tightly!!




3. Bumgenius 3.0 Cloth Diapers - These diapers are the BEST! What a great way to save money and the environment. Plus they grow with baby and they're super cute :) We love using cloth diapers. I could go on and on about this but won't. Haven't had a blowout yet!!



4. Co-Sleeper - So convenient! She sleeps in a tiny little bed right next to our bed so it makes those middle of the night feedings so much easier!!







5. Snoogle - Ok so this isn't something for baby but it's for pre-baby. This pillow makes sleeping so nice while pregnant and eliminates the need for a billion pillows in bed.
