Safety First Comfort Pacifier

A little device I'd recommend for pacifier loving babies (or even just those who will take a pacifier) is the @safety_1st comfort check pacifier! The bonus pack also comes with a pacifier medicine dispenser. This combo has given me the confidence I needed when baby had to get the first set of immunization shots. I simply threw it in the diaper bag and started fever checking and continued at home for the 2 weeks following. Luckily, baby didn't get a fever this round, so I didn't have to use the medicine dispenser. I'm glad I have these two handy devices to face future rounds of baby immunization. It also is the best kind of budget thermometer for vacation and travel. As baby's safety comes first, this is definitely a top 10 baby must have in my books.

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?

                                             

Jolly Jumper Snuggle Cover

It’s cold weather season and full blown winter is fast approaching. It’s also the season of merry making, family parties and get togethers and mom’s need to get in on the action too! Enter the Jolly Jumper Snuggle Cover! This cover works with your baby carrier and provides a layer of warmth for your baby when you are on the go with baby in a Winter Wonderland.

This was such a convenience for me as a new mom in our first winter. If I had any errands to run around baby’s nap time,, I would just put baby in the carrier and sling the cover over. My baby would  instantly go to sleep in this natural moving sleep pod once we started out on our errands. I also love that it’s dual purpose and doubles as a stroller blanket! I definitely got a lot of bang for my buck in this product.

What products do you use to keep baby warm when on the go in the Winter?
