Baby Faves
Being pregnant is fun and all until you can’t decide which leggings you can muster the energy to shimmy into. Just sharing things that I used and loved, as well as things that didn’t make it to baby #2.
Gear & Travel
-
Blanqi Maternity Leggings
Blanqi - Shop Now
These are great from about 4-7 months pregnant, but hard to put on as you get bigger. Would recommend getting 1-2 pairs, and return the 2nd pair if you decide these aren’t right for you!
-
Motherhood Maternity Leggings
Motherhood Maternity - Shop Now
The easiest leggings to put on that don’t squeeze your gut! Highly recommend for a majority of the pregnancy. The only con is that they are pretty see-through, but wearing long shirts helps.
-
Bio-Oil for Stretch Marks
Bio-Oil/Amazon - Shop Now
Personally, didn’t see a huge difference but I slacked on usage. I’ve heard great things though! Being a mom of two leaves little time for me to stress about stretchies, but I’m all for feeling good in your skin!
-
Tummy Butter for Stretch Marks
The Spoiled Mama - Shop Now
Helps prevent stretch marks by keeping your belly moisturized. Was able to use one 8 oz. for two pregnancies because, again, I suck at remembering. Wish I could say “it worked,” but worth a try for you!
-
Prenatal Vitamins
Ritual - Shop Now
Absolutely loved these vitamins, and they offer a subscription so you can set it and forget it. I still use these after both babies because I believe this really helped my hair growth. Great smell, too!
-
Pregnancy Pillow
Leachco Snoogle - Shop Now
This paid for itself tenfold. This was super cozy to cuddle with and helped with back pain for sure. Something I’d strongly recommend having especially as you start to grow bigger.
-
Acid Reflux Relief
Omeprazole - Shop Now
Please ask your doctor before taking!
This was SO helpful for both of my entire pregnancies. Sleeping is hard enough as it is, why add reflux to the list of reasons you’re up at night?
Feeding
-
Formula Dispenser
Baby Brezza - Shop Now
My saving grace! Babies don’t like to wait, this dispenses formula/water only at perfect temperature in seconds. Seriously a great investment as traditional bottle warmers can be very inconsistent.
-
Baby Formula Dispenser
Ladiso - Shop Now
Total godsend for being on-the-go and formula feeding!
Highly recommend these for ease of pouring pre-measured powder directly into a bottle. -
Portable Bottle Warmer
The Baby’s Brew - Shop Now
One of my top favorite things! Rechargeable, decently quick (3-10 min), and just overall convenient for on-the-go. Only works with breastmilk and water (won’t work with a pre-mixed formula bottle). Bottle adapter is necessary to operate and these are sold separately!
