Amazon Prime: 5 Mom Perks

Another great must have for new moms or just busy moms who need extra time in the day 😅 is Amazon Prime!
Here are 5 things that new moms will love and appreciate about Amazon Prime:

1. Amazon Prime membership can help you keep on top of your baby, home, self care and even some grocery essentials with subscriptions (read power of automation). You can subscribe for all your baby essentials that do run out like Vaseline, formula, wipes, diapers and the list goes on.

2. Speaking of Diapers; Amazon Prime members also get 20% off the cost of Diaper subscriptions. 

 3. Free Same Day/2 Day Shipping for Prime members is also a good perk when you need your baby essentials pronto but don’t have the time (or energy) to visit the store. 😅

 

4. One of my favourite Prime benefits would have to be the self care options for moms (read Amazon Video and Amazon Reading). You can get Prime Video on your TV (with Amazon Fire TV Stick or even Roku) on your tablet device and on your Android or iPhone. Amazon Reading is a fairly new perk where you can read hundreds of titles for free! There really is nothing like a good show or a good read to relax the mind every now and again. My favourite show on Prime Video right now is Hanna! 💁‍♀️

 5. Finally, if you’re a mom who loves a good deal then you will love that Prime Membership gets you early access to lightening deals (read deep discounts) throughout the year and to member exclusive shopping events like Prime Day. 💃

Vicks for Baby & Moms

It’s already cold and flu season and another baby essential that I have in my motherhood toolkit is everything Vicks! I really do believe that the big box retailers should carry a gift set of various Vicks products for new moms. This would make the perfect baby registry item. 

Until then, you can make your own Vicks gift basket for any expecting or new moms in your life and it can include:

For Baby

1. The Vicks Baby Rub - safe to rub on baby’s chest

2. The Vicks VapoSteam for use in any humidifier with a medicine tray that allows you to pour liquid Vicks in.

3. Vicks VapoPads for use in the Vicks Vaporizer

For Mom

4. Regular Vicks Rub for mom

5. Vicks inhalers for mom

6. Vicks cough drops for mom

My mom personally used Vicks on me, as a child struggling with nasal congestion, cold and flu, so I was pleased to know it’s one of the only safe things that an expecting mom  or new mom can use instead of medication when battling the cold and flu. 

What other Vicks products do you use in your motherhood toolkit?

                                             

Graco Children Graco Glider Lx with Plug, Waterloo

I personally knew (in my heart) that for a swing/glider it had to be the @graco Glider LX Waterloo. My nephew had the exact one as a baby and I had personal success getting him to take long naps in it. I have the memory of him being able to walk and still climbing into this glider to take a nap. Love the sound features on it and the fact that it can support bigger babies (up to 30 pds). Although it was a gift, we would still buy it if we had to because baby got a lot of mileage out of this one. 

Update: We ran into an issue where the sound feature started to short circuit on the swing. We were directed by Amazon to call Graco and it was such a great customer service experience and replacement process. Once I sent all the required information the new product was at my door within two days. 

What is your go to brand for a baby swing?
