I wanted to put together a list of items that have been out favorites this past month. I did this last month and it is great to look back to see what worked best for us and Eloise during the different stages she was going through.
This swing has become a life-saver. It really relaxes Eloise with the swinging motion and soft music it plays. There are several settings to choose from as far as songs or nature sounds. The swing has different speeds to choose from as well. What I love about the swing is that it can swing in different directions depending on which way you have the setting put to. For a while, Eloise only liked being swung as if she were being rocked in someone's arms. Now she likes being swung in the position the swing is in below.
We love our BOB stroller! Ever since I was cleared by my doctor to exercise again we have been putting this baby to use. Eloise loves being outside so it makes it even more enjoyable. The stroller is a smooth ride for both of us. It is easy to fold open and close. Not too heavy either. Because Eloise is still so small and can't hold her head up quite yet, we use the car seat adapter so she can come along for the ride while being cozy in her car seat still. I would definitely recommend this stroller.
This play mat has become a great entertainment item for Eloise as well as a good spot for her to practice tummy time. The turtle shown in the picture plays a few songs to keep her entertained. There are different toys that hang from the sides for her to grab for and hang on to. There is also a little mirror that she loves to look at herself in. These are really convenient to have because I can easily pick it up and bring it to another spot in the house.
I cannot say enough good things about these swaddle blankets, or pouches in a sense. At first I was bummed that we weren't going to get to use it. Eloise would scream so loud every time we put her in it. But what we learned was that she only was upset for a short time and it actually soothes her. I find that these keep her from waking herself up in the middle of the night by flailing her arms. She looks so peaceful in it when she sleeps. The Velcro also makes this swaddle so easy to use!
We have moved on from the Soothie pacifiers to the MAM. I feel like these are easier for Eloise to keep in her mouth. I found that the Soothie kept constantly falling out. Although the Soothie was a good starter pacifier I think she likes these a lot more too. So far, I'm really pleased with these and would totally recommend. No nipple confusion over here!
