Master the day!

Being a mom can be overwhelming. There are many hacks that moms can google and many people seem to always know what the best thing to do is. Here are a few things that I found helpful:

1. Get a crib that baby can grow with. Playpen is a good alternative if you don’t have money to buy a crib.
2. If you live in a huge house or apartment, set up at least 2 changing stations. Foldable changing stations are good alternatives if you have low budget.
3. Rocking chair is good when soothing baby, feeding baby but any form of Chair in baby room is helpful.
4. When going out for long periods, always have extra changing of clothes for your baby and yourself in your bag.
5. Buy front zipper sleeper for babies because they take less time to open up than the button sleepers
6. Rompers are your best friend. Most babies do not feel comfortable being dressed up, even if parents feel that they look adorable. Babies want comfortable clothes. I recommend rompers and rompers with stockings in winter. (Try to get cotton ones if you can).
7. With Anti-colic baby bottles cant go wrong. They help to prevent and reduce colic and other gas problems.
8. Use a sterilizer that can hold at least 6 bottles and that has different program functions.
9. Get a baby Milk machine for e.g. a baby Breezer that prepares bottle within seconds at the right temperature.
10. Today there are many forms of baby milk products on the market. There are products for babies with gas problems, colic problems, allergies etc. Don’t be afraid to ask your health care specialist if your baby is showing signs of uneasiness with the current formula.
11. Use a waterproof pad in your baby’s crib and on changing table.
12. Get a baby phone with external monitor or baby camera with app so that you can check on baby in baby room.
13. After 9 months in a loud womb, the outside world is rather quiet for newborns. Get a white noise machine or download this music to help baby fall asleep. A lullaby playlist can also help baby fall asleep.
14. Gripe Water can help babies who have problems with colic or gas.
15. A baby swing or bouncer can help you put baby to down for short periods so that you can do something. (Please note it is not safe to leave babies unattended for long periods, it is not safe to leave babies in a baby swing for long periods).
16. Breast Pump helps to always have milk prepared for baby when needed. Pump when you have time and store milk for later.
17. Humidifier moistures the air and creates optimal breathing conditions, allowing babyto sleep comfortably.
18. Buy as many Pacifiers as you can because they can to comfort babies generally but can also help when babies have hiccups.
19. Playmat is a great for giving older babies the ability to relax without feeling clustered. If possible, get a colourful playmat with rattles etc.
20. Odour-free diaper pail: Like a regular trash can, an Odour-free diaper pail filters dirty diapers into a plastic sleeve, keeping the unit clean (and dry) and allowing you to easily empty the pail.
21. Dark curtains for baby rooms. Blackout Curtains. Dark curtains help baby sleep better during the day as they produce a they fake nighttime.
