We have only been at this for three months but there are definitely somethings we couldn't have done without.
swaddling blankets- These are the best ever! They mold to your baby's body but still keep their shape. (Thanks Auntie Lil)
gentle giraffe- We use this daily. During the day we use the relax setting and it puts Richter to sleep for an afternoon nap. At night we use the sleep setting (white noise) and it's lights out.
j&j lavender bath and lotion- Every other night is Johnson & Johnson Lavender bath night. Richter sleeps 8-9 hours a night everynight, but he seems to fall asleep faster and sleep sounder on bath night.
froggy-I can't say this happened accidentally. I have kind of forced this on the little man but he now loves his froggy and wants it when he is sleepy.
rockabye baby- Lullabies that are renditions set to modern rock bands. My favorites are Coldplay, Bob Marley, U2 and Guns N' Roses. We took one of our ipods and put only lullabies on it for Richter. We have a docking station in his nursery and play it at night when he goes to bed.
mam pacifiers- These are the only pacifiers Richter will take. Friends have told me that it will change the older he gets but for now we will stick with what he knows and likes.
pack n play- This has been very helpful. It is a bassinet and changing table all in one. We keep it in our living room and it is very useful throughout the day. The fact that it is also a playpen for the future is great.
BOB stroller-What an amazing stroller. The weather has cleared up a little in Virginia so we have been able to get outside quite a bit. Going on walks completely relaxes Richter. He zonks out on me every time. The BOB is such a smooth ride he naps the whole time.
I hope this list is as inspiring to as many of you as others' lists have been to me.
