My favorite baby items

So when I found out I was pregnant I was so excited and when reality hit I had no idea what I needed to buy. I love baby products, one thing I would suggest NOT doing is buying tons of clothes for your baby....friends and family usually are happy to give you their old stuff. So here is what I suggest...

You don't NEED these things but I think they make things easier :) what baby products do you like?

Tip: instead of investing in a nice stroller you can invest in a nice carrier (or multiple carriers) 

1. Solly Baby Wrap

I am in love with this wrap,  it is so breathable and stretchy. It's not thick like the moby but it feels very durable. My daughter currently weighs 14 pounds and when I wear her (which is basically everyday) I don't even feel her weight, just her snuggles! With wraps it's easy to distribute the weight by adjusting the shoulders. I think the Solly Baby Wrap is perfect for smaller babies and every new mom should have one. (Once you learn how to put it on it's easy and takes like literally 5 seconds) 

2. Ergo

Ergos are amazing, I personally don't think they are too great with small babies but I have friends who carry toddlers around like nothing! They come in all kinds of prints and varieties so you can find one that you love. They make an infant insert but I had a problem with my daughter sinking too far down and it bothered me. I look forward to using it with the back carry on hikes and long trips when Paislsy gets a little bigger. (Be careful for fakes, eBay and other sites sell a lot of fakes and your baby can get hurt using those)

3.  Bliss Naturals amber necklace

Bliss Naturals has beautiful amber necklaces (she's currently restocking more) for babies and adults. If you don't know about their ability to relieve pain I suggest doing a google seach to look at it yourself. I thought it was some bogus hippie stuff but it really works. I bought Paislys hers recently and she is 5 months. She is starting to teethe on and off so I want to help in any way I can. 

4. Sophie the giraffe

After reading reviews about sophie I decided to go with the smaller one and in my opionion, more safe version. The larger one has a risk of cramming down your baby's throat with it's leg and with the new one they make that impossible! FYI it does not smell like vanilla. My daughter loves this teether, she chews on it all day long! I highly suggest it, even though it seems unreasonably priced for such a small item. 

4. Space saver high chair

I had this suggested to me and it's genius!! What I love about the space saving high chair is you can bring it with you places. Example, if I am visiting my dad it fits easily in my trunk!
