Baby stuff!

[littlesthobo]

Just for fun, tell me one baby item that you can't live without right now! You can only pick one!

My A&A Swaddle blankets.

A still needs to be swaddled to sleep, but i put her down and wrap her up and she is out like a light. They are wonderful.

[madamewaffles]

Merlin suit. On a good night we get 6+ hours straight of sleep 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[prvc678]

My car seat canopy that doubles as a nursing cover (and can be worn like an infinity scarf).

[comicSans]

K'tan. He doesn't nap more than 20 mins if I lay him down so I'd get nothing done and not be able to care for DD if I couldn't wear him.

[cavewmn]

Glider. I am amazed how much it has been used.

[mugster]

Our ceiling fan? I kid, kind of

[tootsie]

Swaddle blankets. I use them all day for different purposes. I really like the ones I got from Little Unicorn, the cotton is slightly rougher (not too rough) and holds a swaddle really well.

This sounds amazing!

I'm going to say my small swing. It lives in the kitchen but is small enough to be moved easily outside so we can hang out in the backyard. And it allows me to make dinner and sometimes sit down to eat it!

[katelou]

Velcro swaddlers- we are re-using the cheap Summer Infant ones from DD1, but I also have a Halo swaddle/sleep sack that was a gift from the hospital and it's so much better. Unfortunately it's microfleece and usually too hot.

The RnP.

[cabbagecabbage]

My ring sling. My favorite carrier for a tiny baby and the only way dinner gets cooked.

My Moby. B hates the car seat so much that if I take both boys out of the house B must be worn. He could be sound asleep in the car seat (which rarely happens. He's usually screaming) and the second the car turns off he's awake and yelling about it.

I'm going to a baby wearing meeting next weekend and I'm so excited to try something new. I'm thinking a ring sling, but @housecarders has made me want to try wrapping.

[rungirlrun]

The car seat. Obviously to keep him safe while driving, but without it (and the stroller and my car), this kid would barely nap.

[sarcaztic10]

I would say the Woombie. We like our sleep and he has a strong startle reflex.

I am thinking of switching to the Merlin suit soon though but I am not convinced of its magic... Is it really worth the cost?

[Susan0utLoud]

It's a tie between the Woombie and the Mamaroo.

The baby brezza formula pro. It's completely unnecessary and a luxury purchase but damn do I love it. Takes any effort at all out of FF (besides cleaning but I don't mind that) and I never have to worry about someone else not mixing his bottles right, etc.

L is a car seat napper too! He's given me three-hour naps in there!

[roccobabyk]

I'm going to go with the swing. Only way I get DD to bed at night. Even if he's wide awake he will sit in it for a few minutes at least.

[madamewaffles]

katelou, Halo has plain cotton Velcro swaddles! How big is your LO? A has outgrown his, I'll send it to you.

+1 didn't have on with DS but man I have put some hours on this thing

[katelou]

madamewaffles that would be awesome! She's 22 inches long. The one we have is size NB/0-3, is that what you have?

[Ray]

Our infantino carrier. He'll nap in there any day.

I think he has the 3-6. PM me your address.

[acorn99]

katelou, I also have an unopened cotton halo swaddle sack thing that I never used and dont know what to do with. It is the next size up from newborn and it is yours if you want it.

[mcktymck]

I second the velcro swaddle, we started using a Halo sleep sack a few days ago and Sam's been giving us 6-7 hour first stretches since!

Are our babies twins?  Serious hate of the car seat over here.  I don't get it, DD1 was never this way.

It's a little crazy how similar our LOs are. I'm sorry you're going through this too lol.
DS1 had none of these issues. Even his sleep issues weren't as severe as B's.

[ellebelle]

I guess I have to say the Miracle Blanket. I just wish it was a little bit longer but we're still making it work.

[jewelsofthenile]

My ktan and ergo i would probably never get out of the house without these. Its the easiest way to go to stores the library or on walks.
