Some baby product reviews

We got a ton of stuff from our baby shower and I thought it would be helpful to other soon to be mommies for me to review what we use and don't use out of popular baby items. I've seen this on other blogs and have gotten a lot of great advice.

Boppy pillow - great for bottle feeding or support for holding the baby. Not good for breastfeeding; you need more support and will end up using extra pillows or hurting your wrist (like me) from holding the baby up. I'm sure the Boppy will be great later for tummy time.

My Brest Friend pillow - good for breastfeeding (obviously), but depending on where you feed the baby, you may need extra pillows as well

Itzbeen timer - OMG a lifesaver! Walking around like a zombie makes for absolutely zero comprehension of time whatsoever. This timer allows me to track feedings, diaper changes, sleep, and I use it for tracking when I last pumped.

SwaddleMe - awesome product. I wrap Gabriella in when we go to bed and she consistently sleeps a good 2.5-4 hours in it. We have an organic cotton one and Chris had bought a bamboo one as well. Caution about the bamboo one--the fabric is so soft that is stretches out easily...allowing for arms to get out and consequently causing the baby to wake up.

Boppy Vine Swing - although we only just started using it, Gabriella loves it. It has the perfect recline for her and I love the automated weight adjustment for swing speed. Many of the other swings out there went too fast on their lowest setting, but this one is perfect.

Moby wrap - I got Gabriella in this the other day, kind've. I need to master the wrapping of it a little bit better...but I will say that the few minutes she spent in it, she seemed to enjoy.

Sleep Sheep sound machine - awesome awesome awesome. I think Chris and I sleep better b/c of this too since Gabriella is still in our room.
