Tracy's Favorite Things - Mommy Edition

Although I stopped nursing months ago, I still feel like I need to share with the world how great the "My Brest Friend" nursing pillow is. 

This nursing pillow saved my "nursing" life!

I know the Boppy pillows are very popular, and cute, but for nursing, mine just wasn't cutting it!  I tried it for a few days, but it wouldn't stay high enough to really support Zachary and I ended up putting other pillows under it or just hunching over. 

A few days after we brought Zachary home, I went to my check up at the Mother/Baby Center and the nurse suggested the "My Brest Friend."  It changed everything!

I loved how it wrapped all the way around me and was adjustable.  It has a great foam piece that supports your back too!  It's like a little shelf for baby to rest on.  It also makes nursing hands-free. 

I am so crazy about this item that I have stopped total strangers at Babies R Us who are looking at a Boppy and tell them to get a "My Brest Friend."

This is one of my FAVORITE baby items ever! 

I think every nursing Mommy needs one!

Do any of you have one?

Comment and tell me why you love it so much!!

Join Amazon Mom and buy one from Amazon.com!

This is the one that I have:

Zachary finally started getting his two bottom teeth right around Christmas. About a week later, Joey noticed a few small teeth marks on the crib! We have a beautiful crib, with a front rail that does not fit the usual crib rail protectors. We also didn't want to use the "gummy" one that sticks to the wood.

Of course I checked out Amazon.com and their Amazon Baby section and I found these awesome crib wraps by Trend Lab!

Fa



They are made of fleece and you tie them onto the crib. They don't damage the wood and are very easy to take on and off! The best part is that they can be washed!! They come in a ton of colors too!

We ordered both the long one for the front, and the set of two short ones for the sides. They have been on for a few weeks now and they are working out wonderfully!! 

Here is what they look like on our crib:

Notice that the crib is SUPER bare!

At about 9 months he started standing on his bumper, so we had to take it out! There is nothing left now!

Cold season is in full swing and it seems like Zachary has had a runny nose since before Halloween!

The latest addition to my Favorite Things list is:

BOOGIE WIPES 

These look like baby wipes, but they are specially made for noses because they have saline in them!  

They literally melt crusty boogers away! 

They are so gentle on Zachary's nose, even when it is red and sore from being wiped over and over again!

These have truly been a live saver when Zachary just can't seem to handle another swipe of his nose!

If you sign up HERE they will send you a coupon for $0.50 off a package. 

I try and buy them when they are on sale at Babies R Us.  (2 pack for $6....plus I used the coupon last time!!)

I am now including these as one of my "Can't Live Without" items I give to new Mommy friends for their Baby Showers!!

I use the "Fresh Scent" type for Zachary, but I have heard the "Grape" ones are good too!  

(My sister-in-law Tammie warned me to stay away from the Menthol ones!!)

Have you ever used Boogie Wipes?  Do you love them as much as I do? 

I would love to hear from you Mommies!!

I love my Boon Grass Drying Rack! It's small, doesn't take up too much counter space, holds drying bottles and pump parts, PLUS it's really cute and modern looking!

I hated all of the drying racks I saw at Babies R Us! We found this one at Target and I just couldn't resist it! The green "grass" pulls out of the bottom tray for easy cleaning!

You have to admit......it's pretty cute right?!!?

Today as I was changing Zachary's diaper I realized how much I LOVE my Sarah Bear Diaper Caddie! It looks super cute sitting on his dresser/changing table and it really does keep everything organized and all in one place!


I love how the wipes case fits perfectly into the center! (My wipes case is a Pampers case that I refill with Costco wipes) There is a handle so that you can carry it from room to room, but I am lucky enough to live in a one-story house so my caddie never leaves it's place!


I have the Jackson design, but it also comes in a few other colors. If you do want to buy one....Target has them $5 cheaper than Babies R Us!!


Look how cute it looks in Zachary's room:

I have had a lot of people ask me about the onesies that Zachary was wearing in his 1 and 2 month pictures. They actually aren't onesies! They are stickers that go onto a light colored shirt or onesie! Of course a Mom invented these! (Thanks to my sorority sister Allison M. who used them on her twins this past year! Check out her blog: The Mangiafico Family! I love that by 11 months her kids were tearing them off of themselves!!)

I thought I would post the info for my Mommy friends, but also for any of you who know a Mommy-to-be! These would make a GREAT and unique Baby Shower gift! Yesterday I gave a set to my Mommy-to-be friend Shalimar, and I can't wait to see little Valentina in her monthly pictures!

They are called Picky Sticky! Click here to check them out: Picky Sticky

Enjoy!
