When I was pregnant with my first baby 3 years ago, I remember reading every possible blog post and checklist I could find to research the best breastfeeding tips & products I would need when my baby finally arrived! So I wanted to pay it forward & share my top 10 newborn breastfeeding essentials list of everything I used as a first-time new mom… & share my favorite brands of each, too! Hopefully, this will inspire your pre-baby checklist & help you feel a little bit more prepared for your sweet baby’s arrival!

3 Newborn Sleep Schedule Tips (That Had My Second Baby Sleeping Through the Night by Six Weeks Old)

3 Newborn Sleep Schedule Tips (That Had My Second Baby Sleeping Through the Night by Six Weeks Old)

Ah, newborn sleep. It’s such an emotional topic & I have start by saying I am in no way an expert on this topic… I literally held my first-born baby for every.single.nap until he was over 12 months old! I’m. Not. Kidding... So needless to say I was a total skeptic that a newborn baby could (or even should!) be sleeping through the night by 6 weeks old.

But honestly, baby girl (baby #2) was actually sleeping through the night from 10pm to 5/6am at just 5 weeks old already… and I don’t say that to brag… I say that as a mama who once held her newborn baby boy (baby #1) for every.single.nap until he was over 12 months old. So I thought I would share the 5 things I did differently with baby #2 that helped me teach her how to sleep through the night by six weeks old. No crying involved. Well, except for my happy tears from a full night’s rest.

If you follow along on Instagram (if not, come on over + join the party), then you’ve probably seen my baby bump #2 making an appearance these days. I just entered my 3rd trimester & am feeling all sorts of baby #2 kicks + flips and excited emotions anticipating her arrival this spring!

When my hubby & I found out we were expecting our second little bundle of joy last fall, I totally expected this pregnancy to be rather similar to my first (other than the fact that I have a feisty little toddler running around this time!) But I’ve actually been pretty surprised by some of the things I’ve learned from this pregnancy #2 so far & wanted to share them with all of you today in hopes of inspiring any soon-to-be mamas or anyone wondering about the joys of motherhood + pregnancy! Here’s a little sneak peek behind the scenes into my recent pregnancy #2…

5 Things I Wish I Had Known About Breastfeeding

#1 Breastfeeding is actually kind of hard!

It takes so much disciple and sacrifice, but every second is absolutely worth it. Anyone who tells you otherwise, either has never breastfed or just doesn’t remember correctly! It’s definitely a commitment. But if your able and willing, I think it’s one of the best gifts you can give to yourself and your baby. The special bond. The amazing health benefits for both mama and baby. And the extra time spent together is absolutely more than worth every late night pumping session, sore nipple, milk blister, or millionth nursing bra you try on! …

How many times have you cringed as you discover your baby pooped out on his adorable little outfit?

Or your toddler smeared raspberries all over his khaki shorts you were planning to use for family pictures next week? True story.

I’ve been there countless times + sometimes even the thought of trying to get some stains out was enough to make me want to cry. I may have been a little too attached to my baby’s clothes, but what can I say? They’re adorable + motherhood has made me all kinds of sentimental.

From soaking them in the sink for days, to using bleach on anything white, and even throwing them in the wash asap, nothing seemed to work well enough! And after 6 months of spraying + scrubbing + soaking his little clothes with every kind of soap, bleach, or stain spray imaginable, I finally found the magic!

Hey, there! I hope you’re having a wonderful start to the month of June!

Pajamas are one of my favorite baby clothes to buy. They’re just so cute + snuggly and there’s really nothing better than putting a freshly washed babe in bedtime jammies. Now that it’s summer, I’ve been on the hunt for some new short jammies for my little guy. He already sweats like crazy in his sleep, so getting a few more pairs of short sleeves + shorts pajamas was a must for summer!

Oh my goodness, teething is rough!

It breaks my heart watching my little guy in teething pain + grasping at anything and everything he can get his hands on to bite on for some relief. I remember days when he would go through 3+ drool bibs because he was teething so bad. Teething stages come and go, but over the past year I’ve found some of the best baby teethers for each stage that really helped my little guy (and his mama) get through some tough teething days! Hopefully, some of our favorites will become some of your favorites too + help your teething little babe feel better!
