Our second month had us still learning all about our little girl and what products were especially important to keeping our little one happy. She at this point hasn't really shown any interest in many products so again these are from our point of view.
1. Destin. Due to the dairy intolerance and trying to figure out what I am eating we were left with some caustic poops and that left some diaper rash as well. We tried the butt paste but it never stayed on long enough to actually help and heal. Maximum strength Desitin to the rescue. Our pediatrician told me to "layer it on like frosting on a cupcake.....you know, for someone who loves frosting." I guess thats the best way to describe it and it TOTALLY worked. Diaper rash gone in a matter of 48 hours.
2. Summer Infant Baby Wifi Monitor: This thing is magic when we need to leave her for naps. Not only does it rotate and have night vision, but it also has an app that we can access from our phones which is nice for when babysitting occurs.
3. Chicco Cortina Stroller: While our little one absolutely HATES being in the car seat, she is perfectly content with just wheeling around in the stroller, even when in the dreaded car seat.
4. Graco Pack and Play: Since we took our very first trip this month, we needed to have a place to put our little one. She was still small enough to use the changing station and it was perfect to have on us, She slept in comfort and ease our entire trip. This was worth the cash. It also sits downstairs for various naps that need to be taken on the first level.
5. Pampers Swaddlers: I know I said we loved the Huggies Little Snugglers last month, but in going up a size we realized that the huggies gapped a lot around her legs, which lead to some un-welcomed leaking. The swaddlers fit so much better and when we go through our stash I will buy more of them!
6. Taggies Soft and Snug Bouncer: This cute thing has been discontinued, but I am so glad we have it. Emma hated it at first and I thought it might have been a waste, but one day I pulled it in the bathroom so I could take a much needed shower, strapped her in with the vibration feature on and she fell asleep while I showered. This is a godsend to those who need a moment to just let the water run down!
7. Little Remedies Gas Drops: With reflux and a dairy intolerance comes a lot of built up gas. To ease her pain and discomfort these were treated like gold in our house! We have since got the gas under control, but it was a life saver in the beginning!
There you have it, our second month favorites!
