My Post-partum Favorites

I gave birth to my second baby girl. Since then I have been able to get a feel for what I need and what makes being a new mom again easier. Usually, I prioritize practicality over aesthetic-ness but surprisingly I found items that fulfill both of those needs.

The first few items are for breast feeding and the other ones are for convenience.

First item is reusable nursing pads . I love that I don't have to keep buying packs of disposable ones and having to switch to a new pair of pads throughout the day. They are super absorbent and actually very cute. They come with a washing bag that you just throw them in and put them in the washing machine. 

The next items are nursing bras and nursing tops. The bras make it so much easier to nurse and pump without having to manipulate your clothes a lot. I really like to use the nursing tops on the weekends so that can easily feed my baby but still feel like I'm wearing a shirt. The tops also give good support while also being nice and stretchy. The straps are adjustable for both the bras and the tops, so they are super comfortable. 

Next, there is the baby carrier (from infantino) that I use almost all day. It is super easy to use and adjust. When I use it she falls asleep so easily and when she's awake she gets to see everything and seems so entertained by everything. When she gets bigger, I will be able to turn her around so she can face outward.

The last item is a baby rocker. I really like it because if I'm staying one room for a while she can just chill in her chair. She enjoys sitting and watching me cook or clean while I rock her.
