Top 6 items to have for new mommies

6. Breast Pump: Whether you will breast feed or not, you will need to get all that delicious breast milk out. After a few days of giving birth, I produced an overwhelming amount of milk and needed to pump it out to avoid breast from getting engorged.

5.Boppy: This is to help the support you when breast feeding. You can simply lay the baby on there from the classic hold to the football hold and breast feed. There is also a traveling boppy. If you will not breast feed, the boppy can serve as an upright cushion for the baby to rest. 4. Sterilizer: You have to keep the babies bottles, nipples, and pacifiers sterilized at all times. I sterilize about three times a day.

3. Swing: This is the best invention ever. It will put your baby to sleep for hours, keep her entertained, and if she is cockily the rocking motion will soothe her and help relieve some of that gas. 2. Changing mat: I cannot tell you how many times you will take your babies diaper off and things will come flying out. The plastic mat will protect you, your sheets, and the baby from getting dirty. Again, you can buy a travel mat or disposal mats for when you are out in public areas.

1. Baby Monitor: I have a one bedroom apartment and got made fun of for having a baby monitor. This little device is awesome. I watch tv, cook, clean in my living room and watch my little one in her crib. When I go to sleep I keep the monitor by me and my hubby and I can hear and see if she needs me. There has been times my little baby started to choke on her saliva/spit up in the middle of the night. The monitor amplified the noise so even in my deepest sleep I can hurry to her and make sure she is safe. Lastly, my husband discovered that as he drives he can have the monitor camera on her to ensure she is comfortable.
