one of my girlfriends recommended this carrier to me and we have LOVED it. with shiloh, i used the solly wrap carrier 24/7 and loved it (i still do), but this one has a very similar feel to a wrap carrier but its WAY easier to get on and off. lyla usually does at least 1 nap a day in this thing - she's so cozy in there but still very snug and secure. and i love how easy it is to take on and off!

any excuse to eat a delicious oatmeal chocolate chip cookie AM I RIGHT? i ate these cookies when i was nursing shiloh too and legit look forward to it everyday haha. i usually have 2 a day and they taste amazing. they have ingredients in them like oats, brewer's yeast, and flax seed that can help boost your supply! i feel like my supply with lyla has been great, and i've eaten 2 of these every day, so they must work! another great gift idea of buy for any mama or mama to be!

pacifiers are one of those things like...all babies will have their own preference haha. we tried SO many different pacis with shiloh and MAM was her favorite! so we tried mam right off the bat with lyla and she also loves these! i love the cute matte colors they come in now too!

this was another item i swore by with shiloh that's working like a charm with lyla. it's one of the only swaddles we've found that lyla can't escape from haha it actually keeps her arms down nice and snug, and it's really easy to use! i think the key to good newborn sleep is having a good swaddle and we swear by the ollie!!

we got this stroller right before i had lyla and i LOVE IT! we used the uppa baby with shiloh and loved that one as well. but i love that this one is a little more compact + easy to fold up! either stroller is a great option but i like the nuna more!

i shared all about the elvie on my stories last week but this breast pump has been a GAME CHANGER. it's a wearable / portable breast pump so you can put them in your nursing bra and be totally hands free / mobile. this is incredible especially if you have more than one kid! so i'll nurse lyla, put my elvie pumps in, and then be able to get up, make my coffee, get shiloh's breakfast etc. they are so quiet, efficient, and easy to use!

lyla has been LIVING in kyte baby clothes! they are all SO soft and i love the zipper option so you're not messing with a million buttons! i'd say 90% of her newborn wardrobe is kyte baby! we're obsessed!

this is a new baby item we got with lyla that has been so clutch! we attach it to her carseat so we can have white noise on the go - at restaurants or out at appointments etc. if she's sleeping, this helps her to stay asleep / nap on the go!

we used this sound machine with shiloh (still do) and are loving it for lyla as well. it can connect to your phone, has lots of different sound options, a nightlight etc!

i've been using the hakka when i nurse lyla and it's INCREDIBLE. you put it on the breast you aren't nursing on to catch your let down milk and i've already been able to store up so much milk just using this alone! a really cheap and easy way to save / store up your breast milk!
