This past weekend, we finished painting our nursery and assembling furniture! We decided to go with pure white with a peach accent wall, and I love how it turned out. I’m excited to share the whole nursery on the blog once I pick up a few more things we need - like a rug, lamp, and plants for her room. But before we get to all of that, I’m taking this week to prepare for baby girl’s first year by picking up all the necessities that we’ll need. I almost feel like a first time mom all over again since, so many things have changed since I had Aimery - I’m amazed by all the great products that are out there for parents! Keep reading for 7 ways I’m preparing for baby girl.

BABY MAGIC

First up is hypoallergenic bathtime products! Aimery had sensitive skin as a baby, so I’m making sure we have great quality products on hand for baby girl. Baby Magic has been a trusted skincare brand for babies for decades, and their baby bath and lotions are hypoallergenic, dermatologist tested and free from sulfates, dyes, parabens and phthalates. Calming Baby Bath is a hydrating and tear-free formula that contains Lavender & Chamomile to keep skin soft and encourage sleep. Calming Baby Lotion locks in moisture and is the perfect addition to the post-bath nighttime routine. Lastly, the Gentle Baby Lotion has the classic scent of Baby Magic, with good-for-you ingredients like Vitamins and hydrating Aloe. Baby Magic will be donating a portion of proceeds of its white-tagged 30 oz. Gentle Baby Lotion, Calming Baby Bath, and Calming Baby Lotion this September to Baby2Baby – an organization that provides children living in poverty with all the basic necessities for living.

DISNEY LULLABY PLAYLIST

Aimery has always enjoyed falling asleep listening to music, and I’m looking forward to getting baby girl into a regular, healthy sleep routine as well. We love the Disney Lullaby music playlist to bring soothing and calming Disney songs to her nursery, while encouraging relaxation and sleep! You can stream these songs on every streaming service, along with the Philips Pregnancy+ and Baby+ apps! Listen to the Disney Lullaby playlist with your preferred streaming partner here!

TEETHING PRODUCTS

Teething products are an absolute must when preparing for your baby! Baby Banana has great products for your teething baby that also acts as training toothbrushes. The Magical Unicorn Training Toothbrush helps babies learn how to brush their teeth during the teething phase, when they want to put everything in their mouth. They also have a Mystical Dragon Toothbrush that is made with 100% food grade silicone and dual sided bristles, so babies can work out their roughest teething pain! The Lil’ Squish Jellyfish is a sensory rattle and teether toy, with a variety of textures. Use code FALL50 to get 50% off now until 09/30/2020.

AUTO-DISH DETERGENT PODS

I am already starting to nest around our home, and I want to make sure our whole space is deep cleaned before baby girl makes her arrival! Lemi Shine Dishwasher Detergent Pods are powered by natural citric extracts to clean the toughest stains. I love these pods because they are made without harsh toxins or chemicals, making it a safer choice for our family and the environment. Lemi Shine can be purchased in stores and online at a variety of retailers in the US, including Target, Walmart, Amazon, Albertsons-Safeway, Publix, and HEB.

VITAMIN B12

While I am focused on picking up everything I need for baby girl, I’m also making sure to have everything that I need! It’s so important for us moms to be just as prepared for our baby, and I love these Pink Get Up & Go B12 Fast Dissolve Tabs with 5000 mcg of Vitamin B12. These on the go tablets dissolve quickly and include amino acid L-Carnitine. They have a great natural mixed berry flavor while being Non-GMO and free of gluten, dairy, artificial flavors, and preservatives. You can visit pinkproducts.com for a $2.50 off coupon and to find them at a Target near you! Valid through 12/31/20.

MY FIRST HOROSCOPE

I absolutely love this horoscope book illustrated by Rachel McAlister! My First Horoscope introduces babies and toddlers to all the signs of the horoscope, with a space to personalize your little one’s birthday and sign on the final spread. Through this book, you will learn what your little Pisces, Taurus, Leo, or Sagittarius might be like! Wouldn’t this also make for a great baby shower gift?

BREASTFEEDING CONSULTATION

Another way that I am preparing for baby girl is through planning a breastfeeding consultation! I never really breastfed Aimery because I didn’t have the proper education and didn’t feel comfortable doing it. I believe that fed is best, and have experienced first hand that making decisions about infant nutrition is hard. Whether you are planning to exclusively breastfeed, deciding what pump to buy, or supplementing with formula, SimpliFed helps parents decide which route to take. They offer online breastfeeding consultations with an experienced international board-certified lactation consultant from the comfort of your own home to wade through these decisions. You can schedule an initial consultation for 30 or 60 minutes, and any follow-up appointments as needed. Right now, they are offering a 10% discount using my code Beingsummershores--SimpliBox110.
