Diapers: Pampers Swadlers!! 100% my favorite. (Every bad experience I've had was Huggies). They make premie size, they have a wetness indicater stripe, they're soft and have velcro tabs, they're netting pulls wetness away from her skin and I've never had a leak.
Wipes: Huggies Natural Care. It's not actually the wipes it's the containers. They have a little rubber peice that holds the wipe out and keeps the rest from drying out.
Diaper Rash Cream: Dr. Smith's Diaper Ointment. I personally can't STAND the smell of Desitin! Dr. Smith doesn't have an unpleasant order and it worked wonders on Riley's monster rash. It was recommended by the peditrician.
Toy for 3-6mo: Taggie! It was a gift from one of my mommy friends. It's just a piece of birghtly colored soft fleece surrounded by different colors and textures of ribbon in loops. It was the first toy she actually played with. And she still loves it.
Ok, I also love: The Bumbo (SOOOOOO USEFUL), Reusable nursing pads, the Boppy (although I've also heard wonderful things about the My Breast Friend pillow), the Medela Symphony & Pump in Style, the Johnson & Johnson lullaby cd that came with our bath set, my old school wind-up swing
Not really loving: The cling car shade, baby clothes with buttons down the back, the pacifers that came with snap on cases (they still get dirty), the sleeping wedge (she always fell off), jammies that are soft on the outside but rough on the inside (I mean come on!), thebump.com (horrible nasty people)

I love our all in one cloth diapers! However when we are not home we use pampers swaddlers, huggies are NOT baby friendly.
ReplyDeleteFor wipes I tried reusable wipes but I really did not enjoy the reusing part, haha. I like the huggies wipe container for the same reason you do, the rubber part. I have found the walmart wipes to be just as soft as the huggies so thats what we use. Not to mention I got a 720 count box of them for free.
I have no preference on diaper rash cream, thankfully we have not needed it yet. I do really like the johnson and johnson baby powder.
Toys: Logan loves this black and white arm rattle, its soft like velvet and has an elephant head on it. the toy wraps around his arm or leg or whatever and then it has a rattle dangling from it. He loves when I wrap it around the carseat. He just grabs at it and laughs. Also as of this afternoon he really loves toothbrushes. His brother gave him his toothbrush today and Logan just laughed and chewed on it for almost an hour.
I could not live without our swing! It never fails to put him to sleep no matter what kind of a mood he is in.
I love super soft jammies and blankey.
I loooove the ladies on cafemom babies born in oct. They are always supportive and kind. They have calmed some fears and been a good ear when I needed to vent.
I LOVE my maya baby wrap! It goes over both shoulders and around my waist so Logan feels weightless. I have hands free and he is a happy little man.
I Dislike
baby slings! they kill your shoulders, the wraps are the way to go! Just no moby wraps they have a HIGH drop rate, something about the material.
