3 Must-Haves For Newborns You Didn’t Know You Needed
Bowron Babycare Sheepskin Rug
Never thought I would need one, but have quickly learned this is one of those things that you didn’t know you needed until you have it. I have found so many uses for our Bowron Babycare Sheepskin Rug since my 4th child was born in April! We use it almost daily to line our Moses basket. We also like to use it as a safe, hypoallergenic and consistently clean place to lay the baby down whether it’s for tummy time in the living room or on the kitchen table to give him a massage. We even used it in our newborn photo shoot for our birth announcement cards.
It’s warm in winter, cool in summer, luxuriously soft and easy to care for. We absolutely love it!
Retails for $110 and can be purchased on bowron.com as well as Amazon, Wayfair and Overstock.
Nested Bean Zen Swaddle
My last 3 kids were not big into being swaddled, but perhaps that’s because they just didn’t like all the swaddles I tried. The Nested Bean Zen Swaddle has been one of the single most useful products I’ve used with my 4th child. I thought I would never love swaddling because every time I tried swaddling with my other 3 kids, they would flip out, squirm, start crying and need to be taken out of it and resettled. However, this 4th baby LOVES the Zen Swaddle! I wrap him up in it and within 5 minutes, he’s fast asleep. The bamboo blend fabric of the Zen Swaddle Premier is as soft as your favorite pajamas. The lighted weighted pads on the chest and sides of the Zen Swaddle simulates the pressure of mom’s touch, making is easier than ever for baby to drift off to sleep. We absolutely LOVE our Nested Bean Zen Swaddle and highly recommend it!
Prices start at $29 for the classic Zen Swaddle Classic and $39 for the Zen Swaddle Premier. Get them on nestedbean.com as well as Amazon and Buy Buy Baby.
