Baby Must-Haves: Babylovebird's Top Ten
Raise your hand if you are totally overwhelmed with how many baby 'things' there are out in the world.
Yep, us too.
So that's why we have compiled a list of Babylovebird's fav baby things in life....so far. This is our ultimate top ten of what Chloe uses and loves the most- and we swear by all of it. *ages birth to one year
1. Dock a Tot
Chloe, a few days oldOh it is worth EVERY PENNY. It's portable, lightweight, and feels like the womb for babies. We have used it for Chloe's naps and have taken it for overnight travel stays (you can buy a travel case for it). We have used it since she was a newborn and praise it every chance we get. It's perfect for newborns until they grow out of it. You can buy a second larger size if you want!
2. Binxy Baby
Chloe, shopping of courseThe baby shopping hammock! So many comments and questions when Chloe is out and about in the Target aisles. Instead of lugging a huge, heavy, awkward car seat- pop this hammock on to any shopping cart and voila! Chillin' baby. Easy for you, comfy for baby, and room for groceries. Rolls up for keeping in the car!
3. Muslin Swaddles: Little Unicorn, Oliver+Kit, Mint Berry Market
These three brands have been our favorite. They're soft and easy to swaddle babies in. Perfect for napping, hanging out on the floor, and cool crisp days. Doesn't hurt their prints and colors are adorbs. We learned how to swaddle Chloe on YouTube! *you can find Little Unicorn at Research + Design and Sunshine & Bluebirds...Mint Berry is a Buffalo local Mom! Her stuff is online and inside Village Designs!
4. Bink clip holder
Any brand. Doesn't matter. Get them all. No more binks on the ground or falling out of Chloe's hands. You're welcome. See the green strap? Clipped to her with bink tied on. *find some at Buy Buy Baby it on Etsy like this: bink clips
5. Fisher Price Kick 'n Play Piano Mat
Entertainment! Whew. You'll find yourself humming the songs it plays but it's worth having some sort of musical, tangible play mat.
6. Graco Jogger
This one is all Beau. He runs with Chloe to train for his triathlons and it's been pretty easy to steer and control. Easy to fold down and has decent space underneath for baby gear and bags.
7. Bandana bibs
Get the style anywhere. Not only do they catch all the drool but they look a little bit cooler. We like the muslin ones because they absorb more. Chloe has a ton of them from all sorts of different places like Little Unicorn, Etsy shops, and Target.
8. Ergobaby
The Holy Grail. Another somewhat pricey must-have but also very worth it. Beau carries Chloe wherever we go and it makes it so easy to keep free hands and to not lug a huge stroller around in small areas. Very helpful for festival-going and running errands.
9. Land of Nod Activity Chair
Once Chloe could sit up a little bit, we started integrating the chair. She gets a kick out of sitting in it and playing with the soft features on the 'tray'. Keeps her occupied longer! Also very portable.
10. 4Moms Highchair
We liked this chair because it was simple and has a magnetized tray. Helpful that it matched our kitchen- so if you're all about the mono look, too- there ya go. It's been very easy to clean and the tray comes off a lot easier than most we tried.As Chloe gets bigger, she obviously will need and want different things to keep her entertained! This is a shortlist that we encourage you to try out. Keep your eyes peeled for more posts about Chloe's must-haves!
