Surviving the Newborn Stage


1. MamaRoo this thing is the BEST for naps. Lola was not a fan of her crib or pack n play for naps in the beginning. Plug this sucker in, turn on the white noise, and she will nap for 3 hours! It's definitely pricey, and we got this one from Chuck's sister for free (Thanks Kelley!) and it's been amazing.

2. On-the-Go Sound Machine - we have this attached to Lola's car seat. We use the soft white noise the most. But it soothes her so fast in the car that she does so great now. Especially great for mama's weekly Target trips, when you want to spend an hour wandering the aisles and you don't have a crying baby in her car seat in the cart

3. Halo Sleepsack - the only way Lola will sleep at night. These are so great with the velcro to just zip her up and velcro her in so she can't wiggle her way out. Now that the winter is finally here, she wears the fleece ones and she is so snuggly and warm all night. She has given us several sleeps 8:30pm-7:00am and I think a lot has to do with how comfy she is

4. Sound Machine - Lola sleeps with the heartbeat sound on this machine, and it works wonders to drown out extra noise. With her room being right off our living room, we often find ourselves turning the TV so low we can't even hear it, and tip toeing around the house trying to be quiet so she naps good. But this machine definitely helps now that she naps in her room during the day

5. Old Navy Sleepers - these are the softest, lightest, comfiest, cutest sleepers ever. I wish they made these in adult sizes. They come in so many great colors (we have every single one) and they're the easiest for quick diaper changes because they zip right up no problem.

6. Swaddle Blankets - Lola naps swaddled in these blankets. We tried the Aden & Anais ones but they're too small for our tall girl. Little Unicorns has the CUTEST prints ever. We now own 5 ;-) And I've already pre-ordered this one, because I buy anything flamingo (duh)

7. Coffee - no need for explanation. You just need it. A lot of it.

And because no post is complete without a photo of my little pumpkin..
