Stocking Up On The Swaddles From Aden + Anais (Preparing For Baby)

Product Received

As with previous babies that I have prepared for, I know that one of the top items to add to any list or registry are the swaddle blankets. When I was pregnant with Wyatt, I knew right away that I would stock up on the swaddle blankets from the Aden + Anais line of products. I had quite a collection, but as he got bigger and we had friends who had babies, I passed along my collection, not thinking that I would have the chance to prepare for another baby in our family. Well, you can guess that when we got the announcement that a new baby would be joining our family in the coming months, I got excited to once again prepare for the arrival of a new baby. Naturally, one of the first items I have had to stock up on are the Swaddles from one of my favorite companies, Aden + Anais. Since we still have time before we will even know whether the new member will be a boy or girl, I knew I could start to look at items that were neutral. When I was given the chance to review a pack of the Swaddles from the Aden + Anais collection, one collection caught my eyes right away. The pattern is the Jungle Jams from the Classic Swaddles collection! I adore the jungle animals in this collection, and with this print theme, I can go with the collection as a neutral design and go with it for either a boy or a girl. Then once we do find out what the sex of the baby will be, I can begin shopping for the gender specific swaddles to add to the collection!


Aside from the adorable prints, I have found that with the classic muslin swaddles, the breathable fabric is ideal, especially for the warmer weather we get here in Texas. I like that I can swaddle baby and keep baby comfortable, even in the warmer weather, all while keeping baby from overheating. One of the things that I had noticed about having the Aden + Anais Swaddles with Wyatt was, it seemed that after I would wash them each time, they would get softer, making them nice and cozy for both baby and mom to use! I also like that with the Aden + Anais Classic Swaddles, they are quite big, making it easy to swaddle baby, and the size is also a plus for nursing moms to use to cover up with! In all, I have found the Classic Swaddles from Aden + Anais to not only be a must have for when I prepare for a new baby, but also a must have for any parent preparing for a baby!

Bottle Making On The Go Made Easier With The Mixie Bottle (Preparing For Baby Guide)

Product Received

When you have a baby there are things to prepare for, like feeding times. I mean, you truly can not prepare for what babies awake and feeding patterns will be, but as a parent, you can prepare for the feedings by having the tools to make feeding time easier. Recently I was sent such a tool when I was sent the Mixie Bottle. With the Mixie Bottle, parents can have a less stressful time when it comes to those feedings when baby is wanting the bottle now and not in a couple of minutes, lol. To use the Mixie Bottle, parents can prepare a bottle, then mix it later.

Which can really come in handy during those feedings when you are on the go, or even at night when trying to measure out the formula while you are half asleep, getting the majority of it all over the counter. Aside from the convenience of being able to prepare bottles ahead of time with the Mixie, parents can also use the nipples from the Dr. Brown's and BornFree wide neck nipples! So if you are preparing for a new baby, and you want to make those feeding times a little easier, then get the Mixie Bottles today!!

Keeping Babies Skin Soft And Irritation Free With Exederm (Preparing For Baby)

Product Received

When it comes to caring for baby, whether they are a newborn or a toddler, I find that keeping babies skin soft and smooth is something I aim for. With each of my babies, they have had issues with eczema. For me, insuring that they have the healthy, soft, baby skin is a priority. One family of products that I have loved using for Wyatt to help keep his skin staying soft and clear is Exederm.
With the products from Exederm, I can get a full line of skin care products for my baby, that will help hold in the moisture as well as help keep my babies skin clear of any irritations. I like that there are no chemicals that can irritate babies skin, there are also no fragrances or dyes added. I also like that when I use the body wash during bath time, I do not have to worry about the wash getting into his eyes, and we can enjoy bath time without having to worry about Parabens, Propylene Glycol or any other unneeded products added in our baths! Then after bath time is over, Wyatt can enjoy a massage, which helps calm and soothe, with the Exederm lotions and creams, leaving his skin soft and free of any trace of eczema. So as you prepare for your new baby and as we prepare for the newest member of our family, we will keep the products from Exederm on the list of must have items for baby!
