All month at BirminghamMommy.com we are going to be featuring tips and bits of knowledge for new moms. We already do this throughout the year, but you’ll see a lot of it this month. And we don’t know everything!! Please comment and let us know your opinion!
My personal favorite and most-have stuff: pack n play, video monitor, playmat, sleepsacks, swaddlers, temporal scan thermometer, exersaucer, bouncy seat, good stroller
THE pack ‘n play. It is by far the most important piece for us. You use it when they’re babies to sleep in, change diapers on, etc. Then it’s a playpen, then it’s a travel bed for toddlers. It is the single item I would invest in and choose very carefully.
Video Monitor– I gave my dish here.
The exersaucer– At our house it was the mobile command unit. It was frequently dragged from room to room it was so useful.
Bouncy seat– It bounces, vibrates and is easy to pick up and take room to room. Both of my kids lived in it for the first 4 months.
Stroller— Find the right one, for me it was one with a built in footboard for a second kid, thereby eliminating the need and expense of a double stroller.
