Baby Item Reviews


As many of you know, I had a cute little baby girl. :) Which means a lot of new items that my husband and I buy and try out, some things because we absolutely need them and some things just for fun.  I thought I would do my very first review post on some of the baby items that we have purchased and how I've liked them.

1. Snuza hero
So the Snuza hero clips onto the baby's diaper and monitors movement.  Although the Snuza hero does not prevent SIDS it does monitor the baby's movements and it gives you warning if your baby stops moving.  What does this mean? well since it clips onto the diaper the movement it registers is the baby's breathing, if the baby doesn't move for 15 seconds the Snuza hero starts buzzing and if at 20 seconds the baby hasn't moved it starts an alarm.

My Thoughts: I LOVE IT, BEST $100 that we have spent.  I had read a lot of reviews where they had lot so false alarms and although it has happened twice with me I just can't express how much better I sleep at night.  I definitely recommend it!!

2. Tommee Tippee bottles (9 oz)
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Tommee Tippee bottles and let me tell you so does Aria. They are easy to clean and the nipple is really soft (idk if that the word I'm looking for) so it's easy for Aria since they have different flow variations (she is at the first one which is low flow).  We tried Avent bottles and Aria DID NOT like them.  We have never had a problem with Tommee Tippee though. 

3. Diaper genie elite
Okay when the husband was like lets get a diaper genie I was like Pffffttttt we don't need a diaper genie, we can just get a trashcan. WELL aren't I glad that we did. It's AWESOME and our baby's room does not smell whatsoever.  It is extremely easy to change the liners and it holds a TON of diapers!!!!

4. La leche league sports nursing bra
I don't know what I would have done without this bra, especially when my boobs got engorged. SERIOUSLY it was a lifesaver, because I was in so much pain.  It seriously helped me a lot even though I ended up not being able to breastfeed :(. 





5. Munchkin high speed bottle and food warmer with pacifier cleaning basket
I do not recommend this bottle warmer.  You have been forewarned. It lasted like a few days before it didn't work anymore. We had to go buy a new one because it stopped warming the bottles.  =(

Organizational/planning







I LOVE LISTS!!!!!!!! Like I'm obsessed with them, I LOVE MAKING THEM.  But what ends up happening is I have lists EVERYWHERE.  From my samsung snote to sticky notes to random pages in my notebooks to my filofax (that I recently sold *cries* I'll tell you why in a minute).  So in order to counteract all the not so organized lists, I scoured the internet in search for something that would stop it (since in my goals for the year I have GET ORGANIZED).  This is when I found bullet journaling, if you don't know what that is well you should look it up because it's GENIUS.  If you want to also add to the organization and find something that helps you time manage you should also check out spiraldex because I'm about to start using it soon because it's awesome too!!!! Okay so the reason why I sold my filofax was that well it was TOO big and I had to leave it at home all the time because it didn't fit into my purse (and now diaper bag that is super cute that it doubles as my purse) so I started not using my filofax as often which made me quite sad because I LOVE it.  This is when I decided that it was best that I part ways with my lovely A5 yellow finsbury because I wanted a new one, probably a personal filofax.  Well because they are so expensive I decided to add another goal into the array of goals I already have.  Since I found the bullet journaling I decided to buy a notebook that I could bullet journal in and IF I use all of it, then I can buy a new filofax (which gives me time to save up for it).

GOALS I'm adding to my YEARLY GOALS:

  • bullet journal
  • buy a new filofax
  • get better at time management
  • blog more often (okay you caught me this is already in my yearly goals, but I thought I should remind myself) so I guess in the world of bullet journaling I should put an arrow ------>
