Mixed Space and Time

This will be a mixture of so many things.

Pregnancy/Baby product review



So I have gotten questions about what products I found to be helpful during pregnancy and after. I got this question with my first child and I had a few things but now that I have a second child, I realized I have a lot that I loved from the first time. I will also include the things I did not like. I will try to put where I got them if I remember. Mostly likely it was Amazon or Target. So let’s get into it. 

Pregnancy

Pregnancy Pillow: PharMeDoc C-shape full body pillow. This was the best pillow!!! So comfortable! I am able to use it after pregnancy too. Mostly being used for nursing at the moment.
Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula: It’s a brand I know and love. I’ve used it for dry/itchy skin so I figured it would work for my belly as well. It did! 
Nature made prenatal + DHA: Easy to get anywhere. 
Hanes Women’s stretch cotton cami: This was so perfect for my growing belly! All I wanted was just to lounge at home and with it being hot in Florida, this was perfect.  
Overalls: They were just super cute and fit my growing belly! 
Maternity underwear: Hated the ones I got. It was just uncomfortable with my belly. 
House slippers: They are so so comfortable! I just wanted some house slippers I could just slip on while pregnant and once the baby came. 
Leggings: Colorfulkoala! Hands down the most comfortable leggings! They fit my belly to the end! I even got the biker shots too. Gymshark Training leggings were also perfect! They fit my belly until about 8 months. 

Postnatal

Nursing Bra: Auden nursing bras from Target are amazing and affordable. They give me the support I need and they are a soft material. 
Leggings: Colorfulkoala and Gymshark again! 
Walking shoes: I got Nike Downshifter 11
Pumping Bra: Just the Medela pumping bra. 
Hydro Flask: I already had this and I love my water cold. It helps me continuously drink water. 
Haakaa Ladybuyg: HEAVEN!!! I had no idea about this with my first son. This is a must if you are breastfeeding! This thing catches your let down when you are feeding on one side. I was able to get 2oz. I never knew how much was being wasted. 

For baby

Bottles: MAM bottles. It was the only bottle Alrick would take and they are working well with Kai. 
Baby Carrier: Lillebaby 
Stroller: Doona Stroller. This is pricey but it was worth it! It’s a car seat that turns into a stroller. Most of the time it was just me taking Alrick to doctors appointments or to the store, so it was perfect. We just kept it for Kai as well. 
Nail Trimmer: Baby electric nail file! It is honestly the best! We were too afraid to cut them and this works fast and easy. 
Car Camera: We wanted a camera this time around. We found it so hard to put that little mirror up because the headrest we have isn't one that moves. We weren't able to strap it in. 
Ubbi: Love this diaper pail! You can use any trash bag with it. You don't have to a specific one like most out there. We had the genie the first time and hated it! 
Pack and Play: This had been so amazing to have!!! I love the bassinet part about it. It's nice to just put Kai in there when I have to cook or do laundry. Also the fact that there is a changing table, WOW! I don't have to walk to the room. I can just do a quick diaper change and still be in the same room as my oldest son. 

If you think of anything I did not mention, ask away!
