Forgot I had this Love to Dream swaddle sack that’s been great during his naps! And we finally started using the breathing band for our Nanit and it’s been so nice to know he’s breathing at all times even when he looks so still!

One of those simple baby items that ends up being really helpful in everyday life. I like having feeds portioned out and ready to go so I’m not trying to deal with scooping formula while already out with the baby.

This is the breathing band that came with our nanit camera. It basically monitors his breathing when it’s on which gives us peace of mind since he’s now in his own room. We felt a little overwhelmed by all the stuff the owlet sock tracks, so we thought just monitoring breathing would be a good middle ground!

Mom fit of the day thanks to Walmart!

#LTKmomlife #LTKootd

A few Walmart finds for me at 4 months postpartum. I’m in that weird in-between stage where I don’t really want to spend a lot on clothes yet, but I’m also ready to stop living in the same few stained T-shirts every day. I still need things to be comfortable and practical since I’m up and down with the baby all day, so these felt like good easy pieces for this season without spending much.

Walmart coming in hot with the summer baby clothes! I just grabbed all of these for Ollie in 6–9 months, and there were so many cute options for summer, beach days, little patriotic moments, and just easy everyday outfits. Sharing everything I picked up because the baby section got me good this time.

Wanted to love these so bad because the style is genuinely really cute and they actually feel well made, but the sizing was very off for me. I ordered a large and they were literally skin tight, so I would definitely need an XL or even XXL to make them work. Posting them here in case anyone’s interested because I do think they have potential, but I personally think they run small and would be really careful with sizing.

I had no idea Mrs. Meyer’s made dog products, but we’ve been using these lately and I’m honestly so into them. Both are the sweet chamomile scent, which I really like because I feel like so many dog products either smell kind of weird or are always lavender. With a new baby, we are definitely not as on top of dog baths as we used to be, so this has been a really good setup for keeping him fresh in between.

Formula feeding already comes with enough to think about, so anything that makes it feel simpler is a win for me. I’m in a season where I really need baby products to fit into our actual life — not take up more space, create more steps, or make leaving the house feel harder than it already does. This setup has felt really practical for that. Linked the one we have

One thing I’m learning with crib naps is that not every transition needs to be all or nothing - sometimes a gentler middle step makes a lot more sense. This transitional swaddle has been a really helpful fit for us in that stage. Linking it here if you’re also in the sleep transition phase

Going through my pre-pregnancy clothes lately has been a little humbling, if I’m being honest. I have one pile that definitely doesn’t fit and another that is so far off it’s almost funny.

I think that part of postpartum has been harder than I expected — not even just that my body looks different, but realizing I can’t keep measuring myself against the version of me that existed before all of this.

Anyway, sharing these shorts because they actually feel good on my body right now. They have a little more length than I normally would’ve gone for before, but they’re comfortable, flattering, and have a good amount of stretch, which is very appreciated at this stage.

To everyone who told me to put this in his crib… thank you. It’s been buying me an extra 2 to 5 minutes here and there, which honestly makes such a difference when I need to do the tiniest thing, like go to the bathroom or quickly get something done. One of those baby items that has ended up being way more helpful than I expected.

This is one of those routines that is constantly happening in our house right now, so anything that makes it feel easier or more streamlined is worth it to me. Linking the bottle washer, bottles, and nipples we’ve been using lately.

A very simple upgrade, but a good one for us. Ollie had started seeming a little impatient with the size 1 nipple, so we moved up to the Dr. Brown’s size 2 wide, and that was all we needed. Same bottles, just a quick swap.

I love a good Amazon find, but for something like a baby memory book, I wanted something that felt a little more timeless and a little less temporary. This one just felt more like something I’d actually want to keep coming back to for years, and the inside pages were a big part of that for me.

A legit mom must-have. I got this thinking it would mainly be for baby stains, but at this point it’s honestly saved more of my clothes than Ollie’s. Spit-up, random mystery spots, all of it. One of those little products that’s earned a permanent spot in the house.

A little real-life mom moment from our safari park day. It ended up being time for Ollie’s bottle while we were on the safari ride, so we figured out how to feed him while he stayed in the carrier and honestly it worked out so well. One of those outings that reminded me you can still do fun things with a baby, even if you have to adjust on the fly a little.

This fish tummy time mat has been a recent hit in our house.

This little rainbow fish is starting to get way more interesting around here 🐟🌈

It didn’t do much for him at first, but now that he’s more aware and starting to grab at things, it’s been really fun to watch. The crinkle texture + bright colors keep him engaged, and it’s easy for his little hands to hold onto.

We call this his little “fish TV” 🐠 and it has been such a hit lately.

This Baby Einstein Sea Dreams Soother keeps him completely locked in — the moving fish, soft lights, and music are somehow the perfect combo. It’s one of the only things that consistently holds his attention during wake windows without feeling overstimulating.

Ok Target… you got me 😅 I popped in this morning and ended up finding the cutest baby boy outfits for warm weather — and of course San Diego is having a little heat wave right now, so I couldn’t not look.

My baby's new favorite accessory is his cute bucket hat! But it gets pretty hot out there, so I brought along a little mini fan to keep him cool. This portable fan is a game-changer for those warm days, providing a gentle breeze that's perfect for little ones. It clips right onto his stroller and comes with a rechargeable battery for on-the-go cooling.
