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. 

What’s your go to thermometer while on the go with baby? 

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?

                                             

Infantino Cuddle Up Ergonomic Hoodie Carrier

An infant carrier is a great newborn baby must-have option for new moms with more than one child and for mamas navigating city/suburban life! There are so many good ones on the market but this post is all about the @Infantinobaby Cuddle Up Ergonomic Hoodie Carrier. 

The Infantino Cuddle Up Ergonomic Hoodie Carrier is great because:

• It is beautifully designed. It differs from other carriers on the market as it has a very cute removable hoodie feature with vibrant colours.
• The adjustable straps really gives a comfortable ergonomic fit for parents. 
• It’s helpful for having baby close & comforted while still being hands free. If baby is fussy or clingy you can put them in the carrier and get major chores done around the house and on the go. 
• It’s good value for money as it can be passed down or on to multiple babies with little to no wear and tear. 
• It makes for a great baby shower gift. II received this as a baby shower gift for my first born and I’ve since gifted this to other new and expecting moms. It’s a very practical but cute gift that’s sure to come in handy.
