Feeding
To
be honest, any steamer or blender will do. The reason I like this is that the
steamer side also warms bottles and jars of baby food. My only beef is that it
doesn’t hold much food, so you have to do a lot of little batches. Which I don’t
mind right now because he doesn’t eat very much, so one or two little batches
lasts us a week or two. But I am loving making my own baby food. Have you
checked out how much baby food costs? And it doesn’t even taste like real food!
Your
baby will decide if they like pacifiers, and he or she will decide which type
of pacifier they like. Everett started with the soothies but only took them for
about a month. I had a two pack of MAM pacifiers and he took to them. They are
adorable and come in tons of designs. Another reason I am glad he took to these
over the soothies is because they have pacifier clips. Bonus: you can customize
these pacifiers on the MAM website!! This is pricey so I will not be opting for
it, but it could be a really neat baby shower present.
Bathing
I
love this thing! We have transitioned to a different tub but this was amazing for a newborn-after the cord stump falls off.
First, we have a small kitchen sink (and I feel like it’s unsanitary to give a
baby a bath where I dump raw chicken juice). Baby can’t wriggle off of this thing,
and it’s nice and warm in the water soaked sponge. Best part: It’s only $6! One
of the best buys for baby!
Playtime
Grandma
bought Everett and he LOVES it right now. He gets such a “kick” from kicking it
(get it, kick?!?!). The piano notes play notes and then a song if you don’t
kick it again right away. Everett loves looking in the mirror and trying to
grab and eat the toys. The toys also come off. Thanks Grandma Lu!!
That's it for my mini
series. This was really fun. I might do something like this monthly if I
can find the time! I hope you enjoyed!
