vons tips.

I do not go crazy over all the baby products out there, but if I had to give a few must have products for new Mom's these are the things that I would suggest. These are all things I didn't have with Van, but have found they make life a. lot. easier now that I have them.

Someone gave me a bassinet to use for Vin. One word...life saver. I wouldn't spend a lot on it, try to barrow if you can. Vin is already sleeping in his crib, so it's not worth spending a lot of money on. It is extremely nice to have in those first few weeks though.
Buy a car seat with one of these doo-dads... It makes it SO nice that it tightens with just a pull, and will loosen with a push of that orange button. So there isn't a constant fixing of the straps every time your baby grows. Trust me, that is a huge pain. Worth the extra money you spend.


Get a comfy rocking chair. It makes those middle of the night feedings way easier, and it appears that Vin likes it too! =)
If you plan on nursing, make sure you have someone to talk to. I didn't make it very long nursing with Van. I have done fabulous this time, because of people like my Sista who listen. I have seriously called a billion times to ask questions, which was the biggest mistake I made with Van. I felt like a stupid new Mommy so I didn't ask questions. I have asked way more questions this time around, and it has made a big difference.
That is all. My 2 cents. Take it or leave. Add to it if you want.

Thanks!! Good to know, I've been looking at car seats and I can't decide... I saw one at Costco the other day that is like a big giant one, but not one that you can click in and out of a base to carry them around in.......
Do you have a good nursing cream? I found I really needed one with Matthew so I used the coco butter kind... It helped. A LOT...
