Ann MarksCan't live without“Pumping is necessary if you are EBF and/or wanting to offer your baby breastmilk from a bottle (so you can get so much needed / deserved free time). I love the Baby Buddha Breast Pump becasue it saves time with it's signature long-pull. Being a single mom of 3, my time is one of my most valuable resources, so I am always looking for ways to streamline my workload. Making pumping more effective and efficient is one way we can save a little time in parenthood. This pump is IT!!! ”

$24.98

ANTI-COLIC BABY BOTTLE. Anti-Colic internal vent system is clinically proven to reduce colic. Decreases spit-up, burping and gas. CONSISTENT FLOW RATE. Vacuum-free feeding is closest to breastfeeding and Dr. Brown’s silicone nipples provide a consistent flow so babies can feed at their own pace. PRESERVES NUTRIENTS. The anti-colic vent system is proven to help preserve bottle milk nutrients and aids in digestion for a better night’s sleep. BREASTFEEDING BOTTLE. The breast-like nipple shape encourages a proper latch for a more natural bottle feeding experience and eases the transition from breast to bottle and back again. BOTTLE GROWS WITH BABY. Dr. Brown’s Natural Flow Anti-Colic Options+ baby bottle works best with the internal vent system in place but can be removed as baby’s feeding develops – no need to introduce a different bottle. SUSTAINABLE BABY BOTTLE. Dr. Brown’s Narrow bottle is designed to nourish through all of baby’s feeding stages and is recyclable. PLASTIC BANK COLLABORATION. Dr. Brown’s has collaborated with Plastic Bank to prevent ocean plastic and reduce their plastic footprint.

Ann MarksCan't live without“My all-time favorite bottle system because it is the most universally accept bottle system for babies across the board. There is no need to re-invent the wheel when it comes to bottles. These bottles (and their age-appropriate nipples) will help ensure you avoid any potential bottle aversion with your little one. I highly recommend just getting the 8oz bottles to start so you don't have to buy more when your baby starts needing more milk. They have options for plastic bottles and glass bottles and I just can't say enough great things about Dr. Browns. ”

Ann MarksCan't live without“If you are planning to use frozen breastmilk and/or formula, I highly recommend getting a bottle warmer to help warm baby's milk. There is no medical need to warm milk for your little one, so if they drink it cold that's amazing, but most babies prefer warm milk and this is an essential "ingredient" in feeding your baby well from the bottle. NOTE: You will need to purchase bottle caps to use when warming milk to prevent the spread of bacteria and avoid the nipple being too hot and/or compromised by the heat. Bottle warmers are also great becasue you can preemptively warm the milk up to an hour before your baby's next feed which is great for my fellow a-type mamas!!! ”

Ann MarksCan't live without“My all-time favorite swaddle!!!! It's tight to the body and mimics the "womb" (hence the name). My babies preferred their arms to be swaddled on their chest instead of down by their side, so your baby might like that too. Your baby may fight the swaddle a little bit at the beginning but if you rock them to sleep in this and help them, they should grow to love this little Woombie suit. ”

Ann MarksCan't live without“A sound machine is a MUST for any baby nursery. No it's not a sleep prop, becasue you can recreate white noise anywhere you go with sound machine apps. Being able to cancel out other household noise can really help to make an optimal sleep environment for your baby / toddler. My kids STILL use their "shushers" every night when they sleep, and I reap the benefits of the white noise coming from their room. ”
