Let me first start out by saying that I am in no way an expert on this. I’ve only been a mother for 9 weeks [but wow does time fly]! These are simply things that I have found to work wonderfully for us and our little. There are plenty of other things that we absolutely love [the Mamaroo for example], but I picked things that we use daily.

1. My number one favorite thing we have for Ainsley is the DockAtot. It’s super light so it can go anywhere. Plus it’s a great co-sleeper because it’s made from fully tested, breathable material. The cover is machine washable, which is great since we have a puker. Ainsley doesn’t have reflux, but it is said to help with that as well. The best part is how well she sleeps in this gem.
2. Honest wipes. I have to admit, I’m not a fan of the honest diapers; they don’t seem to fit our sweet one very well, but the wipes, I love. I’ve tried a couple different brands of wipes and in my opinion, there’s none that compare. They’re naturally made so there’s no harsh chemicals in them, and they’re not super wet like others.
3. We held Ainsley off on using a pacifier for a little while to make sure she got the hang of nursing. After a few weeks, we introduced the Wubbanub and she was a fan. They’re so great because of the weight from the animal. It’s harder to push out and she holds them herself now.
4. Miss Ainsley gets a stuffy nose quite often, so the Nosefrida is a lifesaver. The concept is a little strange, but with such a teeny nose, it’s great to have something to help our girl breathe a little better.
5. Along the same lines, the Oogie bear is another must have in my arsenal. I was having a tough time getting those stubborn boogers that were preventing her from breathing well. This tool is doctor recommended to assist in that challenge.
