Mama Must-Haves

I know I am only 5 weeks into this whole mother thing but there are a few things I cant live without, or could I?

This book has been amazing, already. Elaina just hit her first "leap" and it was so neat to know how to support her during this time of developmental change and also not go crazy because I couldn't make her happy at times (I'm sure there are many more of those to come!) This book is on sale at Amazon and is great for moms with children under 20 months. Babies go through growth spurts, and developmental "leaps", this book helps you recognize those leaps and how to engage and stimulate your little one during that season.

Because of the c-section this co-sleeper made night feedings much easier the first few weeks. I was not able to get up from a laying down position very easily and this helped make those late, sleepy nights easier. We have also taken this to grandma and nana's house. For the time being its lot easier than a pack-n-play, once she is bigger our traveling load will increase!

Lastly, I know its only 3 items, would be Baby Connect for the iPhone. This app has been good at helping me know when the last feeding was, what side I was on and also tracking all those diapers. Weight gain was really difficult the first 4 weeks and so I was put at ease when I could see she had wet a good amount of diapers. I am sure I would be just fine if I didn't have this application,but it has been a nice piece of technology.
