Must-Haves

5 month

Teethers, Teethers, & more Teethers- I put Sophie on this list because I am trying my god forsaken HARDEST to get Landon to chew on her. Everyone out there said this is a must have- we got it and he wants nothing to do with her- takes one chomp and chucks it across the room. The round teether with all the things sticking out is a favorite because he can grab it easy and move to each part of it. We are in the process of an Amber teething neckless, one has been ordered, Roberto is aware his son will be wearing a neckless, and hopefully we will find some relief from the fussiness. I will be sure to report back.

Hyland's Teething Tablets- Again not sure if they work or not but I pop them on a regular basis. It says all natural so I'm game.

Jumpers- Yep loves them. The saucer is a favorite and the one that hangs from a door way is awesome too. He can spend a good amount of time in them before getting bored which is always a plus.

Baby Bullet- I am by no means a all organic "crunchy" mom. I am trying though (hence the teething neckless). My dad bought me this for Christmas and it is very easy to use. I am super lazy so I was worried I wouldn't commit to it but its a little to easy to walk away from. I can just steam anything and throw it in there with water and it makes tons which when freezable they are good for 30 days. Also if you look at the shelf life for the baby food it kinda makes you wanna gag. I mean lets be serious I will probably buy some next week so go easy on me.

BabySpoons- An obvious here- cant use real spoons because they are monsters when eating and will cut their little gums. Plus they make spoons that turn white now to let you know the food is to hot? Genius.

WubbaNub- BEST INVENTION EVER. He loves this. Kinda. He loves throwing it across the room more, but when he is in his car seat all bundled up like the kid in Christmas story and cant move it works wonders, it cant fall out.

Last but not least- a dog. Any dog will work. A live one will be best. The belly laughs that come out of this kid when the dog walks makes my heart explode. Cant take it. Plus the dog cleans up the floor when he drops food, spits up, drools, etc; its a win win.

3 month must have

4 month





Dr. Browns Bottle (8 Oz)- We tried AVENT bottles at first and he had such bad colic that I ended up going out and buying the Dr. Browns which are supposed to be the best of the best. It did help his colic however I am not sure if it is because he just simply "grew out of it" or it was actually the bottles. I would recommend NOT registering or buying a ton of bottles until after you find out what works for you, of course someone told me that and I didn't listen- I ran out and bought 4 packs of avent 4oz bottles and 4 packs of the 9oz ones so now we have millions just sitting around. FAIL.

Dr. Brown's Bottle Brush- This is the best bottle brush no just because it is a Dr. Brown one but because the bottom comes out and cleans out the nipples really good.

Halo Sleep Sack- so basically Landon sleeps on his stomach, there I said it, and has been since 6 weeks old, said it again. SIDS I know thank you. BUT he was monitored every second for 4 weeks before I let him sleep alone like this. POINT is ... he fusses alot during the night and he somehow wiggles his way out of the blanket I have on him (SIDS again) so I put him in his jammies, zip this sucker up, and WHAM he cant get out of it so its a blanket that just follows him. No I do not swaddle his arms while he is face down fyi. Any sleep sac will work this is the only one I found that I could get a decent pic of.

Crane Air 'drop' Humidifier- I have talked about this before but it is a must for a newborn. I am not sure if I would get this style again or not- sometimes it makes the floor and the furniture around soaking wet which is not much fun dealing with when you have a screaming newborn

Bouncy Seat- Ok ladies this is a MUST! When I registered... I registered for cute and cuddly *NEWS TO ME* babies do not like cute and cuddly, THIS is what I have and we have used it a total of ZERO times, he hates it there is nothing for him to look at or play with. It does come in handy for feeding cereal in but that's what highchairs are made for. Do yourself a favor and get something that has toys right infront of their face so they can hit them grab them stick them in their mouth etc. The tackier the toy the better

Cloud Sound Machine Soother, Sleep Sheep- Another must! This sheep has the most amazing soothing sounds such as rain, heartbeat, whale noise, and waves. We originally got the sound machine which has "white noise" I was told babies like this.. so I bought it. White noise is apparently CAR HORNS honking and static... awful scary noises that he did not enjoy falling asleep to what-so-ever.

Aveeno- Baby aveeno cream is AMAZing! He has such soft skin everywhere except his face! I didnt want to put the original baby cream on his face so I bought this and it takes all the rough bumpy red skin away

Baby Einstein Caterpillar Friends Play Gym- I cant find the one we have but any activity gym is a must he loves laying there and kicking his feet battling the toys

Johnson's Baby Bedtime Bubble Bath and Wash- I am convinced this stuff makes him sleepy. He can be in a FIT of rage, I plop him in the tub wash him with this and feed him a bottle and he is OUT cold.
