Jess LeeCan't live withoutDon't bother getting lots of nursing bras/tops initially as you don't know how big your boobs will be or what fabric will feel like. The bra I live in is the Bravado! You want to avoid underwire anything until the baby is breastfeeding consistently and is around 2 months old. Using it before then can cause a plugged milk duct. Order a few for the beginning, wait and see if you like, then order more. Make sure you have some before the baby comes, and bring one to the hospital too. Don't go nuts and buy a bunch of huge bras when you are engorged - things normalize a little after the first week!!

Expecting Better: Why the Conventional Pregnancy Wisdom Is Wrong--and What You Really Need to Know (The ParentData Series)

Pregnancy Care

Expecting Better: Why the Conventional Pregnancy Wisdom Is Wrong--and What You Really Need to Know (The ParentData Series)

Emily Oster is the non-judgmental girlfriend holding our hand and guiding us through pregnancy and motherhood. She has done the work to get us the hard facts in a soft, understandable way.” —Amy Schumer Fully Revised and Updated for 2021* What to Expect When You're Expecting meets Freakonomics: an award-winning economist and author of Cribsheet and The Family Firm disproves standard recommendations about pregnancy to empower women while they're expecting.  Pregnancy—unquestionably one of the most pro­found, meaningful experiences of adulthood—can reduce otherwise intelligent women to, well, babies. Pregnant women are told to avoid cold cuts, sushi, alcohol, and coffee without ever being told why these are forbidden. Rules for prenatal testing are similarly unexplained. Moms-to-be desperately want a resource that empowers them to make their own right choices. When award-winning economist Emily Oster was a mom-to-be herself, she evaluated the data behind the accepted rules of pregnancy, and discovered that most are often misguided and some are just flat-out wrong. Debunking myths and explaining everything from the real effects of caffeine to the surprising dangers of gardening, Expecting Better is the book for every pregnant woman who wants to enjoy a healthy and relaxed pregnancy—and the occasional glass of wine.

Then there’s the soft, organic jersey insert with two removable pieces for their customized comfort as they grow. Install easily in a cab directly using the belt path on the shell—no base necessary—or in the family car with the PIPA RELX base, featuring on-the-go recline. Equal in versatility and safety, PIPA rx is fashioned solely from materials that are free of fire retardant additives. Give them—and yourself—a good start on the journey.

Jess LeeCan't live withoutThe Pipa is a little more expensive but it is light and easy to use. I am OBSESSED. Get the Pipa (not Pipa Lite because it is FDA approved). People also like the Chicco Keyfit 30. Get an extra base if you have multiple cars. The only thing with the Nuna is it is not compatible with the BOB Jogger but you aren't supposed to run until later. The Doona is the new hottest contraption with the carseat and stroller all in 1. Supposedly amazing!

Bodysuits

Burt's Bees Baby Organic Short Sleeve Bodysuit (5 Pack) - Sunshine, 0-3 Months

GOTS CERTIFIED 100% ORGANIC COTTON BODYSUITS GOTS doesn?t stand for ?gentle on the skin??but it might as well. The Global Organic Textile Standard is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibers, and it proves organic fabric is the real deal (and helps you spot the brands using the word unethically). Baby?s tender skin takes years to develop the protective quality of an adult?s; therefore it?s more susceptible to the effects of harsh chemicals. Our GOTS certification ensures the highest level of purity from seed to seam, because we want your seal of approval, too. COZIEST, SOFTEST COTTON FABRIC Much like bottles and babysitters, not all organic cotton is created equal. To get ours snuggle-ready, it?s combed to remove impurities and short, coarse fibers, then ring-spun to make smooth, high-quality yarn. Trust us: you?ll wish your clothes felt as good as these comfortable bodysuits. LAP SHOULDER CONSTRUCTION & FLAT-LOCK SEAMS OFFER MAXIMUM We want to make your life easier. The lap-shoulder feature makes dressing baby a breeze with maximum stretch when pulling over your little bee?s head. Our flat-lock seams provide smooth, flat edges against their delicate skin. No extra fabric to cause skin irritation or rashes. REINFORCED SNAPS Our snaps are reinforced with binding to ensure maximum comfort and strength.

The Wonder Weeks: A Stress-Free Guide to Your Baby's Behavior

The Wonder Weeks answers the question, “Why is my baby cranky, clingy, and crying?” with helpful guidance. Maybe they’re experiencing a leap in brain development, after which new skills are mastered, discoveries are made, and perceptions evolve. Fussy behavior might signal that great progress is underway! Better yet, these phases occur on similar schedules for most babies―as explained and mapped out in this book―so parents can anticipate the “stormy weeks” that precede the “sunny weeks.” Based on decades of research, this fully revised sixth edition covers the first 20 months of a baby’s life and includes: The top 10 things to know and remember about a leap Fun games to support brain development Fill-in-the-blank checklists to help better understand personality and behavior traits Science-based explanations about sleep Fresh insight and recent commentary from new parents who’ve used The Wonder Weeks Anchor moments to keep new parents sane, especially when they are exhausted and discouraged With 2 million+ books sold, and 4 million+ downloads of the corresponding app, The Wonder Weeks has struck a chord. Join the phenomenon that has been embraced by celebrities, social media influencers, and parents worldwide.

Cribsheet: A Data-Driven Guide to Better, More Relaxed Parenting, from Birth to Preschool

by Emily Oster(Author)

Miscellaneous Parenting Resources

Cribsheet: A Data-Driven Guide to Better, More Relaxed Parenting, from Birth to Preschool

From the author of Expecting Better and The Family Firm, an economist's guide to the early years of parenting. “Both refreshing and useful. With so many parenting theories driving us all a bit batty, this is the type of book that we need to help calm things down.” —LA Times “The book is jampacked with information, but it’s also a delightful read because Oster is such a good writer.” —NPR With Expecting Better, award-winning economist Emily Oster spotted a need in the pregnancy market for advice that gave women the information they needed to make the best decision for their own pregnancies. By digging into the data, Oster found that much of the conventional pregnancy wisdom was wrong. In Cribsheet, she now tackles an even greater challenge: decision-making in the early years of parenting.  As any new parent knows, there is an abundance of often-conflicting advice hurled at you from doctors, family, friends, and strangers on the internet. From the earliest days, parents get the message that they must make certain choices around feeding, sleep, and schedule or all will be lost. There's a rule—or three—for everything. But the benefits of these choices can be overstated, and the trade-offs can be profound. How do you make your own best decision?  Armed with the data, Oster finds that the conventional wisdom doesn't always hold up. She debunks myths around breastfeeding (not a panacea), sleep training (not so bad!), potty training (wait until they're ready or possibly bribe with M&Ms), language acquisition (early talkers aren't necessarily geniuses), and many other topics. She also shows parents how to think through freighted questions like if and how to go back to work, how to think about toddler discipline, and how to have a relationship and parent at the same time.  Economics is the science of decision-making, and Cribsheet is a thinking parent's guide to the chaos and frequent misinformation of the early years. Emily Oster is a trained expert—and mom of two—who can empower us to make better, less fraught decisions—and stay sane in the years before preschool.
