What Every New Mother Needs

This is kinda of funny after my last post all about drinking but thats just me, well rounded. There are several things that I find very useful but I try and keep my "Things" basic.

1) A sling is a must. This is great for nursing and easy on and off. I love the MamaBaby wrap. The material is soft and is stretchy. I like to keep it in my car so I always have something for in and out easy grab. http://www.mayawrap.com/products.php

2) Ergo backpack. As they get older this is absolutely amazing. http://www.ergobabycarrier.com/

3) Muslim Blankets they are soft, light, and yet surprisingly warm. They come in packs of 4 and I got two. I also have the Winter Weight blanket which I adore. It is great for covering both of us when nursing. http://www.adenandanais.com/

4) I have 2 lamb skins. I use one in the car and keep one in the house. Wool is naturally wicking and is very soothing.

5) A amber necklace for teething. http://www.amberartisans.com/

6) 2 potty's one for the car and one for the house.

7) A good stroller. I mostly carry my kids but a good stroller is very handy. I am a walker not a runner so The Maclaren Techno works just fine for me. It is well worth its price tag. It rolls smoothly and has plenty of storage. http://www.maclarenbaby.com/us/content/view/105/497/lang,en/
