Things a new mom didnt know she really needed?

Kristen

Hello,

My cousin is about to have preemie twin girls and Iâd really like to get her some things that would truly be useful to her. So my question is for all the moms, what was truly useful to make you and your babies more comfortable, relaxed, happyâ¦

I know a helping hand would be very useful but she lives across the county and she does have family there to help her with that. Iâm honestly looking for materialistic things that would really help her without just being âclutterâ All suggestions are welcome, thank you for reading this. :)

Answer
I have a 2 1/2 month old, and throughout this time, I kept writing down the things that really came in handy for me and things that I could have done without. Some of the things that are really really helpful for me are:

1. Bottle Warmer - I pumped my breastmilk due to inverted nipples that made it hard for me to breastfeed so in the middle of the night I had to have bottles ready. This warmer has done wonders cause I kept it in our bedroom and it has a cooler that holds two bottles. It helped me avoid going out to the kitchen and made my life a lot easier. Whether she is breastfeeding via pump or bottlefeeding, this warmer really helps.

2. My breast friend - this is an alternative to the boppy. I still find multiple uses for my boppy, however, boppys don't provide the best support when breastfeeding. My brest friend is sturdier and provides much better support for your back and shoulders when breastfeeding. It also allows you to transport the baby to their crib when sleeping, holding her on there without alot of movement.

3. A backpack for babies or sling - this worked miracles for me with my newborn during those stages when she really wanted to be next to mommy all the time. Before this, I found myself bound to the bedroom feeling guilty if I didn't hold her, but once I put her in the carrier, I was able to cook, clean and feel liberated to do things around the house. I recently discovered the Moby wrap. I don't know how this would work with twins, but it can help with one at a time. Go to www.mobywrap.com.

4. Glider - Oh my gosh.........this thing works wonders with putting the baby to sleep or comforting them when needed.

5. Swing - she tends to enjoy this as well, and often times she goes to sleep here.

6. Sleeper Bags - These are very helpful to avoid unbuttoning a lot of clothes in those midnight hours. My husband loved these also.

7. Breastfeeding Bras - some say you don't need these but they were a God send for me, even when pumping. They would help hold the pump in place so my hands could be free to do other things. And believe me, I pumped a lot.

8. A Breast Pump - I invested in the Medela Pump that runs about $300 or $280, I can't remember. This was such a worthwhile investment. Whoever says the manual pumps are okay have never had to pump before. I believe in investing in the top of the line when it comes to pumping.

9. Gift Cards - my friends gave me tons of gift cards for my shower(s) and they were so handy. It helped me during those times I wasn't working and needed things for the baby.

10. Diapers - Find out what kind of diapers she prefers to use for them and stock up. I am still surviving off of the diapers we recv'd from our shower.

11. Burping Clothes - I prefered the kind that are like diapers. they can be purchased in WalMart where you get 12 for $12. I can't seem to get enough of these.

12. Bibs - I never knew bibs were so expensive. Get tons of these for later. They don't tend to use as much when newborns, but at around 2 months, they start to drool more and it helps when you burp them and they spit up. I never had many so it caused me to change her clothes a whole lot more.

If she doesn't mind second hand items, I highly recommend shopping for used baby items on www.craigslist.com. You can find great deals on their for things like the glider or swing.

Hope this helps!
