Becoming a mom again after 7 years was exciting but it also had me a tadbit nervous because so much had changed since I had my oldest two. So many new gadgets were avaiable so I wanted to make sure I purchased a few simple items that I felt I would need while we were home or out and about. The items that I have listed below are items that I found that have been useful for me and my husband almost everyday!
1.) BABY BUM BRUSH AND MINI BRUSH W/ CASE: This is my absolute favorite thing to have at home as well as in my diaper bag. I absolutely hated putting diaper rash cream on my oldest 2 children with my bare hands. I just didn’t like to do it. So, when I saw this on Amazon I just had to get it. All I do is put whatever ointment and/or cream I desire to use on the tip of the BabyBum and wipe it on my son’s bottom or the affected area and then wipe it off with a baby wipe. It’s sort of like a spatula for babies bottoms. I purchased these on Amazon and I am so glad I did. This is One of my best purchases yet!
2.) BURT’S BEES BABY DUSTING POWDER: Just so you know, I am not an “all natural” kind of girl but there are some things that I use that are all natural and this is one of them. This baby powder by Burt’s Bees is all natural and smells so good. My son is 7 months old so he’s drooling a lot as well as sweating like a grown man. Lol. This powder goes over his entire body to keep him fresh and clean. If you’re looking for an all natural baby powder, you won’t go wrong with this one.
3.) Munchkin Arm and Hammer Diaper Bag Dispenser: This is a must have!! I attach this to my diaper bag for easy access when baby boy has a blowout or an ordinary dirty diaper:) Blow outs can be quite messy. So, I use these bags for not only dirty diapers to keep the smell away but I use this for dirty clothes for when the poop sleeps through on his clothes. These bags come in 2 scents, citrus and lavender and they help keep the smell away and it’s an overall nice way to get rid of dirty diapers when you’re out and about.
4.) Aveeno Eczema Therapy Nighttime Balm: If your child has Eczema I would definitely recommend this! When we give our son a bath at night we put this on him because it helps keeps his skin soft and moist. It doesn’t have a scent but its thick and caters to baby’s skin to help keep it smooth. If you’re interested I have a video on my youtube channel on everything I use to treat my son’s eczema!
5.) Good ole Coconut Oil: I love using coconut oil because we use it for his hair and for diaper rashes. I’m sure it can be used for other things as well but that’s why I love this so much because it has a light scent and it keeps his hair moisturized as well as helps get rid of diaper rashes.
Of course I have a ton of other baby items that I love but these are some of my everyday favorites that truly help in ways I never thought they would until after I used them. I hope you found this post useful and I hope you’re able to pick up these amazing items for your baby as well!
