Baby Products

Hello friends!

It’s been a solid three years since I’ve had a baby, but by the looks of all the insane new baby products you would think it had been 10 years since I had my last kid. I’ve been obsessively stalking blogs after blog to find out what I have been missing out on these past three years. I found a few that I’ve added to my must have list and I want to know if any of my amazing mommy friends out there have experience with them.

The Owlet Smart Sock

My friend Tara loves this thing, and frankly that endorsement is enough for me to want to strap this thing onto Quinn to see how well it works. I’ve read a ton of great reviews about the smart sock, and quite frankly I can’t wait to use it. It is pretty much an at home pulse ox monitor. They use them in hospitals, so I feel good about using this at my house. I know the company is developing an FDA approved version, but I don’t know when that will be available. For now, I will be using the one I got from my wonderful friend.

Kiinde Twist Breastfeeding Kit

Omg you guys….this kit looks fabulous. Talk to any parent and they will tell you how much they hate washing bottles. It is literally the worst thing you have to do as a parent.  The worst…… Seriously the thought of never having to wash another bottle again makes me want to run out to buy buy baby and snag this bad boy up right now. But I won’t because it’s after 10 and I’m sitting on my couch in my pjs wishing I had a glass of wine in my hand. But I digress…. This miraculous invention has an adaptor you hook up to the actual pump. After which you screw a cap on and store the milk, when you are ready a to use it, you stick that bad boy into their bottle warmer and voila… Perfect temperature milk for your lil babe. Oh ya, then you pop it into whatever this amazing bottle contraption is, hook up the age appropriate nipple and it’s off to feeding town.

Do you know how rich I would be if I had thought of this darn thing? It seems so logical now, but man… Good for the people who did this. Take all my money!  Well actually not all of it, the whole kit is quite reasonably priced and so are the milk storage bags. I reallllllly hope this one meets my expectations, because I’m putting all my big hopes and dreams into one basket. This is a must have on my wish list.

DockATot

You guys… I don’t know about you but this thing looks scary to me. I’ve seen people put their babies in this thing in their cribs to sleep and something about it to me screams suffocation. All the studies tell new moms to get rid of bumpers and anything in the crib until they are 16 years old….. This one just seems… How shall I put it… Totally off the rails. I don’t know, maybe I’m just out of loop, so if anyone has thoughts on this bad boy, I would love to hear them.

I could actually be here all night showing you things I’ve seen online, but that would be ridiculous, and I’m actually quite tired… Soooo I’m going to call it a night and ask that you help a momma out.. Let me know your thoughts on these products and any other new things I’ve missed in the last three years.

have a great night!

Omg.. Pressed publish and totally forgot to share, I think most people know this by now, but we are having another little boy!

Cheers!
