Miss Mouth's Messy Eater Stain Treater Spray. The BEST thing ever!

Items To Skip Adding:
Johnson and Johnson baby wash
Neft baby detergent
Any baby monitor that is on wifi
Wipe warmer
Changing table (if you have the space, I would opt for a dresser instead because it holds so much more and then get a changing pad to put on top of the dresser)
Pacifiers- people will give you pacifiers! Its like the “go-to” shower gift
Baby blanket- ANOTHER go-to shower gift, you’ll have more than you will know what to do with, so don’t add them on your registry. Remember, it’s all about strategy
Bottle sterilizer (unless you’re already 100% planning on formula feeding or pumping)
Baby clothes

Special thanks to this week’s advertiser, Nourish Meal Delivery!
One of the BIGGEST game changers for your postpartum recovery is well… TWO things. ONE, Eating NUTRIENT dense, HEALTHY food that serves you well in postpartum and TWO, resting- which means you taking the time off from cooking. Which is why I believe Nourish is the postpartum game changer you need as it addresses both of points in ONE. Nourish Meal Delivery offers anti-inflammatory, allergy-free, organic postpartum meals right to your door. Their ingredients are washed with electrolyzed ionized water, ensuring the highest quality. They use galactagogues to boost milk production and nurture lactation and manage sugar levels with Ayurvedic herbs to speed healing after childbirth and throughout your postpartum journey. I will yell about how awesome Nourish is from the rooftops!
