Now that G is one month
{I don't get how this happened}
We are developing a list of favorite things that we use with him.
1. Luvs diapers. We tried pampers and huggies before we tried Luvs and had significant leaks with both. Although I prefer pampers to huggies at this point, Luvs have had less leaks over all and seem to hold a lot and still keep the peanut dry!! The only negative is I like the wetness indicators on pampers and huggies which Luvs do not have.
2. Summer Infant: SwaddleMe's- G can not sleep for long without being swaddled. These swaddles on simple to use and a lighter weight so when it is hot out he doesn't get too hot! Plus they come in very cute deigns.
3. Snuza- Our Snuza is still my biggest piece of mind. Since G is still sleeping in our room in his pack and play, he can not use his Angel Care Monitor. We clip this little diddy on his diaper and I know it will tell me if he stops breathing. NOTE: we have already had TWO false alarms. One because he wiggled his way and and it was not reading him well and two because he wiggled so much it fell of. I have a VERY wiggly baby. However, both times I JUMPED out of bed saw he was breathing and put it back on. He did not wake up, although he rustled a little bit. I would also rather this false alarm, that way I know it works well!!
4. Chicco Keyfit Car Seat and Stroller- G loves his walks and car rides and I love this stroller. I rides so smooth, and is able to be run with well. Only downfalls: its pretty heavy to get in and out of the car. The covers to keep the sun out suck there are little corners everywhere that let sun in. I often just throw a light weigh blanket over part of it to help with that.
5. Avent Freeflow Pacifiers- For som reason these pacifiers are the ones G prefers!
6. Halo Swaddle Sleep Sac- Since we swaddle every night we need a variety. These are even SIMPLER to use than the summer infant. They do take a bit extra work to get his arms in them however which sometimes wakes the babe up a bit. These have a bit more fabric so they are perfect in chillier weather.
I am sure there are more that I am not thinking of but for right now these are our life savers :)

Those false alarms would scare the life out of me!! Glad to know it works lol. Love the little swaddlers, those seem so handy!
ReplyDeleteI love those swaddlers too!!! I have the sleep sack but it's too long for our bassinet. I can't wait to try it though!
