10 Products We Loved Through The First Year With Our Fourth Baby
Wildbird Aerial Carrier
I absolutely loved the Wildbird Aerial Carrier, and it was a saving grace to free up my hands while keeping baby close. It was so comfortable on my hips and back, and I knew baby was comfortable as well. Plus, there are so many great colors and patterns to choose from!
Snuggle Me Organic Lounger
The Snuggle Me Lounger was perfect in the newborn stage for giving me peace of mind, knowing that baby was snug and safe during those early naps.
Fawn Design Diaper Bag
Moms of littles, you need this Fawn diaper bag! No shortage of space for bottles, extra clothes, diapers and wipes, a changing pad, snacks, etc! I love the backpack feature for keeping the bag comfortable and secure on my back, off my shoulder, and keeping my hands free. Everything inside is easily accessible and organized. And I know we will use this diaper bag far beyond the baby years!
Baby Delight Bouncer
We found this Baby Delight bouncer at Target and our little babe loved it! We played around with hanging different toys from the toy bar and she had so much fun grabbing at them. It was such a joy to see her hand-eye coordination improve as she grew.
Lovevery Toys
I have yet to be disappointed with the Lovevery toys. We have the wooden book, rattle, hide & find drop box, and wobble stacker. They definitely were favorites during tummy time, learning to roll, and encouraging babe to crawl and sit up. Each toy is thoughtfully designed for different stages of baby’s development, and she still uses them to this day.
Graco Simple Sway Baby Swing
There is no doubt why we have used the Graco Simply Sway swing for all four of our babies. It is simple to use, quiet, and easy to move out of the way if needed.
Skip Hop Activity Center & Play Table
As baby grew older and out of bouncer, we knew she was ready for something more advanced, interactive, and playful. With the Skip Hop Activity Center and Play Table, we were able to place baby in the seat, knowing she’d be entertained and secure. She now stands at the table and walks around to each activity. Moving the table around our home where needed has been a saving grace for keeping her entertained so we can accomplish something. (IYKYK!) It even came outside on our deck with us!
Retract-A-Gate Baby Gate
We knew when we were looking for a baby gate that we did not want one with a swinging door, and we didn’t want one that was in the way when not in use. We love the Retract-A-Gate baby gate not only because it keeps baby safe from the stairs, but because it retracts away out of sight when we don’t need it.
Silicone Bib & Utensils
We waited until baby was five to six months old before starting solids, as we felt that was the appropriate time to wait before introducing foods for her success. These silicone utensils were perfect for her to explore the tastes and textures of the foods. Once she was able to grasp them, she played around with them when not in use, improving her hand-eye coordination for feeding herself (still a work in progress!), and we knew that she was safe from poking herself with metal utensils. I also highly recommend a silicone bib for easy clean up!
Koala Kubs Baby Shampoo & Wash
This baby shampoo and wash is so good, we’ve used it since baby came home from the hospital. It is gentle on her skin and cleanses her wild hair without making it greasy. There is nothing quite like the smell of a baby fresh out of the bath!
Each of these products were a saving grace during the first year with baby number four, and some of them we still use to this day!
