I put frozen peaches in it (to try to avoid the mess of something red/blue/berry colored!) and... I dunno, maybe he just doesn't like peaches? or maybe the cold is weird for him? Tried it twice and no go. Maybe I'll put some actual food in it so he can figure out your supposed to suck on it. cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01050161461399202632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144215892670299504.post-21819890628786378842014-04-10T12:48:25.032-04:002014-04-10T12:48:25.032-04:00#5 .

You'll need an excuse to get out of the house later to get more! We ended up going with the SwaddleMe for our little (3 was a good number) because she could bust out of the well tied blanket. I definitely still used the A+A blankets as a quick nursing cover, light cover in late summer or fall (for buggy nights or to cover her car seat while sleeping). <br />Burp rags - get a million. Or maybe at least 10-15. We use the Gerber 6 ply diapers (not the 3 ply birdseye). All cotton, get softer every wash. Super absorbent. Also found at Target. Worth the $15. Not fancy, but the best!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11306234153516518132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144215892670299504.post-83040008411366018012014-04-05T14:10:10.070-04:002014-04-05T14:10:10.070-04:00Just FYI, if you have health insurance it must, by...Just FYI, if you have health insurance it must, by law, pay for 100% of the cost of an electric breast pump. So if call them and find out which ones they cover and which ONLINE (the online part made my life so much easier) medical device suppliers you can order through. I used a manual pump with my oldest. It was not fun. Got a free Medela electric pump with my third (free if you don't include the cost of the premiums we pay the health insurance company...) and it's so amazing.Tim and Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18154654424901221557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144215892670299504.post-8622640689317589822014-04-05T11:51:11.413-04:002014-04-05T11:51:11.413-04:00Best gift - Bacon of the Month club for 3 months. ...Best gift - Bacon of the Month club for 3 months.

I can't comment on the cover, because I always used my clothing to cover what I needed to cover. I know you can use swaddle blankets as a cover if you decide not to go with a fancier one. I would get at least a couple swaddle blankets, I had at least five with my newborns (but I wasn't using an expensive one, just the cheaper ones from Target). Maybe get a couple nice ones and then have two or three of the cheap ones to use if you need them.Amy @ Consecrated Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00388283707930930940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144215892670299504.post-18175049475053080352014-04-05T09:34:26.209-04:002014-04-05T09:34:26.209-04:00Grace,

(E.G. 4 Moms should just give you one of everything they have for free since you are the one who introduced me to them and many of their products are not on my list. Hello baby rocker thingy)<br /><br />I have a question for you or any moms who have done this before...<br />I hear lots of feedback about the amount of swaddle blankets one needs. Do you have a realistic number for the amount you would recommend. Also, do they work a burp cloths, nursing covers, etc...Should I invest in burp cloths as well?<br /><br />Thanks a million!<br />AmyAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05088206323257810187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144215892670299504.post-48356032560410047862014-04-05T07:45:51.675-04:002014-04-05T07:45:51.675-04:00I'm totally out of touch with the baby stuff b...I'm totally out of touch with the baby stuff but how awesome is Five Guys?

This is one of those things that husband was sent out to Target to pick up in a last-ditch effort to save my sanity, and it DID. So the bulb can be all you need, but when your kid is congested to the point of concern, I haven't found the bulb as helpful. But whatever method you choose, nasal saline baby spray makes it work one thousand times better! <br /><br />And I agree about the murder scene post-frozen-berries in those mesh things. Never again. And Amazon Prime just sucked the most worthwhile $84 of my year out of my account when it renewed on Wednesday. I've never been so happy to give up $84 dollars. Amazon Mom is also awesome -- I order ungodly amounts of Huggies wipes and 80-roll boxes of toilet paper with the 20% subscribe and save discount.

Called a Razberry, I think? <br /><br />Netflix membership would rock- I binge watched all kinds of guilty pleasure tv series on my phone when I was home with the baby.<br /><br />I got a digital photo frame for my desk at work before I went back and I still love it. Mine rotates pictures of my kiddo every 30 mins and is easy to add new shots to :)<br /><br />Dunno if it's practical but I loved the little Trumpette pack of socks that look like little shoes (Mary Janes for girls, Converse for boys) for that age when shoes are just silly, but they need their feet covered!Sherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06734548371429836171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144215892670299504.post-76398478554996989642014-04-04T22:17:12.453-04:002014-04-04T22:17:12.453-04:00Second the woombie.
