Here are my personal recommendations. Every mother has her own preferences.
Most of our clothes are shipped directly from the manufacturer. It may take 1-3 weeks for your order to arrive. (Mittens, veggie hats and bloomers are available to ship by the next business day). As with any clothes with printed graphics, the cute printed graphics on some of our organic baby clothes will fade over time with multiples washes.
All three of my babies were born at average size. However, they outgrew their 0-3 month clothes in 4 weeks, 3-6 months clothes in 2 months, and 6-12 months clothes lasted longer. I would recommend registering few of the smaller sizes and more of the bigger sizes.
All of my babies are born during winter. I used the footies most of the time during the newborn stage. I just love footies. It covers their entire body. I sometimes used the short sleeve bodysuits under footies for extra layer of warmth.
The bodysuits, also known as onesies, are my favorite piece of clothing for babies. I just love the fact that it covers their belly. I use the bodysuits from infant stage all the way up to 2 years of age.
Mittens are a must. Babies unintentionally scratch their faces. I cover their hands with mitten for first few month of their life. I would recommend registering for more than one pair of mitten. When one pair of mitten is in the laundry, you need another pair. Because it is a small item, it tend to get missing somewhere around the house.
I love the BabyLegs. During spring, fall and winter, my daughter wears them everyday. During summer, I use them occasionally. It is so cute, and functional! They are one of my best sellers.
Our most popular carrier is the Moby Wrap. Your baby can be carried in many different position including foward facing, and it's incredibly comfortable to wear. I personally have 5 different type of carriers. I use them all! And I love them all! I use the carriers occasionally during the newborn stage, everyday from 4 months to 12 months, and less often as my baby starts to walk. I use them until my child is at least 2 years of age. It can last you from your first child to your last child. And you will use them for years! I absolutely love carrying my babies. Whenever I carry my baby in public, the whole world smiles at you. Baby carrier is a must for all new mothers! All our baby carrier comes with instructional pictures and descriptions on its use. However, if you are more of a visual person who needs to see how they are used, there are many YouTube videos available on www.youtube.com.
It is so important that you choose baby shoes that have soft-soled baby shoes. As close to mimicking natural foot movement is important during this development stage. My two older boys are very coordinated and athletic. Could it be because I made them wear soft-soled baby shoes until they were at least 2 years of age?
Baby bath towels comes in all kinds of sizes and thickness. I find myself always reaching for the thicker and generously baby towels. Our Organic Hooded Towel & Duck Wash Cloth Set is just that. Thick and generously sized at 32 x 32 inches. The Organic Tery Hooded Towel by Imse Vimse is thinner and sized at 29 x 29 inches. This is the most reasonably priced organic baby bath towel that I found.
My sister, who is on a very limited buget, asked me if it is really necessary to have a separate towel for the baby. My answer? No, it is not necessary.... just like it is not necessary to have many other things that we love. However, it is definately nice to have a hooded towel that can cover your baby's head and wrap the body as soon as baby comes out of the bath.
Please do at least consider or think about cloth diapering. It will save you money, save the environment, and it is not as difficult as you might think. I did not know much about cloth diapering with my first child, and he was on disposable diapers until potty training. With my second child, I tried cloth diapering. I wanted to save money and bought the cheap prefolds (Gerber) and diaper covers from one of the big chained stores. I failed cloth diapering, because the diapers often leaked. It was frustrating to change my baby's diapers and clothes frequently. So, I gave up on cloth diapering. With my third baby, I did not cloth diaper until my friend told me how fun it is to cloth diaper. She educated me on all the options. I started to use these high quality cloth diapers, and now I LOVE cloth diapering. After years of disposable diapering, I'm kicking myself for not cloth diapering all these years! I could have save so much money, not to mention the environment! With better products, now I do not have any leakage issues, and absolutely enjoy cloth diapering.
Bamboo Belly Bandit is one of our best selling products. Not only you will love the fact that it will help flatten your belly, but it has an additional benefit of back support! My friend bought a belly wrap from a department store, and she didn't like it at all. It was made of unbreathable material that made her hot and sweaty. She loves the Bamboo Belly Bandit, because it is made from breathable, natural material. I never got to use this one since I found this product one year postpartum! I'm pretty much back to my postpartum weight.
If you are interesting natural parenting, Mothering magazine is for you. I used to wait every two months for this magazine to arrive. I wish they printed every month! Unlike other magazines that I skim through, I read cover to cover, all ads, and every single word. It is so good for my soul. I feel rejuvenated as a mom after reading all the articles. I keep every single copy and share them with my friends and sisters. This magazine cannot be thrown away.
Though pacifiers are not necessary, there were times when I felt that I really needed them. When walking, nursing, and turning on the water facet won't work to calm my baby in the middle of the night, I was thinking, 'Why didn't I buy a pacifier!' The natural pacifiers that we carry are made with 100% natural rubber in Europe. It is completely safe and durable. This is the only natural pacifier in the world that I was able to find.
These items are must-have baby products. All babies go through sore teething stages. It can be difficult stage for both mom and the baby. When babies are teething, they can get quite fussy. You can never have enough of teethers.
Breastfeeding will provide your baby with the best start in life. Breastfeeding can be a wonderful experience. However, you may face some difficuilties, as I and several of my friends have. During the first few weeks of nursing, you will have sore nipples. Though I never got to use the Natural Nipple Butter, it is one of my best selling products. Unlike other sore nipple creams, the Natural Nipple Butter by Earth Mama Angel Baby does not contain lanolin. It is completely safe for your baby and very soothing for your nipples.
Plugged milk ducts and mastitis are not as uncommon as you think. I had several plugged milk ducks, and my sister had several mastits infections. Since I gave my sister the booby tubes, a heating/ cooling pad, she is now able to help prevent infection whenever she gets plugged milk duct. She heats up the booby tubes in the microwave, and they cover her plugged areas so much better than other heating pads.
I love the Milkmaid Tea. I love tea in general. So, it's nice to drink a sip of tea that helps with milk production. There are many days when I feel like I just don't have enough. Whenever I drink the tea, I feel like I am producing more milk. I always have it in my pantry and ask my husband to brew up some tea for me!
The silk/wool nursing pad is a naturally anti-bacterial, soft and luxurious nursing pad, especially useful for mothers who suffer constant infections. Because it is made of silk and wook, it is not as durable as our other nursing pads. Our organic nursing pads are the best priced organic nursing pads availale in the market. The Milk Weeds nursing pad is designed for super absorbency. Great for mothers who tend to leak gushes.
I gave this pillows as a gift to my friend and she loves it. It's not a surprise. The Blessed Nest organic nursing pillows are filled with organic buckwheat hulls. Unlike other nursing pillows which can trap heat, buckwheat nursing pillows allow air to circulate, providing ultimate comfort for you and your baby. I personally LOVE to sleep on buckwheat pillow. Buckwheat pillow will never go flat, can be shaped to whatever you like, and feels so comfortable. My older son was having a fever one day, and all he wanted to do was lie on the buckwheat pillow. He said the pillow felt very cool on his head. These organic nursing pillows will last from pregnancy discomfort, to nursing, and beyond. It is the best nursing pillow! You need all the support for proper nursing positions!
All the kits are wonderful to register, because they have little bit of everything. My daughter was born with long hair. I used the Angel Baby Shampoo and Body Wash to shampoo her hair. It smells so good. And I love the fact that the it is a natural smell, not chemically produced fragrance. I also love to use the Angel Baby Oil to massage my daugher after bath. Baby massage is good for your baby! Stretch their growing muscles and body as you massage their body. If I do not have time for baby massage, I just use the Angel Baby Lotion to moisturize her skin, especially during winter.
