Things We Couldn't Have Lived Without: 2 Months

I thought I'd keep this going since there are some readers who aren't mommy's yet, but are thinking about it soon. You know who you are! :) We still love all the things on the 1 month list, but here are a few more recommendations:

1. Angelcare Monitor. Benton is sleeping on his stomach now due to reflux, so Landon and I bought this so that we could rest a little bit easier (and we have!). It came highly recommended from other friends with little ones.

2. Breathable Crib Bumper. Benton is able to scoot himself all over the crib, so we removed his crib bumper. After we removed the bumper, there were a few nights were we found him with either his arms or legs hanging out of the crib. Obviously, he woke up everytime his arms or legs were out, and he in turn woke us up. :) The crib bumper is made of mesh material, so it prevents his body parts from escaping, but also allows him to breath if his face is up against it. More sleep for everyone.

3. Gripe Water. When Benton gets the hiccups, he spits up ALOT and for a long time. We use the Gripe Water to get rid of the hiccups! It works probably 75% of the time.

4. Brookstone Baby Noise Machine. We also have the Sleep Sheep, which we like, but it only plays for 45 minutes. The Brookstone noise machine is great because it plays continuously, which is perfect for nighttime!
