Mother’s Day For Pregnant Moms

Summer is almost here and with that I know three people having babies.  One being my sister.  My kids are older, so I have learned about some great products new moms should have.  Helping out a pregnant mom is something seasoned moms are good at.  Here is a fantastic list of ‘Must Have’ products for babies on the way!  Better than letting her do a trial-and-error for new products.  Here is a great ‘must have’ list for new moms.  Great for baby showers, baby registry or gifts to bring after the baby is born.

Must Haves For Mom-To-Be

Dreft Laundry detergent.  It’s been around for generations and is perfect for newborns clothing, bedding, washcloths and more.  No harsh chemicals hypoallergenic and great at removing stains.  My Dreft is something my family used, as recommended by our pediatrician.  When some baby lotions bothered my daughter’s skin the dermatologist seconded the recommendation for us to use Dreft and nothing else on any clothing my daughter wore.   Taking care of my children, from laundry to cutting their fingernails, is all just small parts that make up our days and weeks as they grow.  Dreft also has a new product, Blissfuls, in-Wash Scent Booster.  Smelling it brings me back to the scent of a newborn baby.  It brings back memories of holding my firstborn in the hospital.  As a first time mom I had no idea about laundry detergent or even how to launder children’s clothing.  Now that I’ve been doing it a while, it is just second nature to go back to Dreft.  The smell of freshly-washed baby clothing brings back so many memories.  Dreft will be partnering up with Sean and Catherine Lowe  for an awesome Baby Shower Event held for them on April 27th.

Not everyone needs a  breast pump but it is important to shop for one knowing why you will want it.

•  Do you want one when baby is a few months old, in case you leave the baby with a sitter?
•  What about having one around just in case you are engorged?
  Lots of different reasons to have a pump.
  There are also unforeseen issues.
• Baby being premature or has a weak suck.
