According to a recent survey done by What to Expect, more moms than ever are finally using their baby registry as a place to start adding the essentials - the no-frill things that parents (moms especially!) actually need whenever they come home from the hospital with a new human to take care of. Gone are the days of adding wipe warmers and fancy bedding (boring bedding means safe sleep!), as we’ve entered a new era in baby registries.
Instead, moms are focusing on the basics - the everyday items you will use nonstop and not know what to do with your life if you run out of them. There is also a HUGE focus on health and wellness items for both mom and baby that not only make the weeks following your baby’s arrival easier but the months and years that follow, too.
Full stop: we are here for it!
Take our advice (we’re moms who have been there) and add these health and wellness baby registry items to your list. While we can’t promise sleep-filled nights, we can promise that these products will make a difference in your everyday mom life. More time for baby snuggles!
Did you know that most babies can’t breathe through their mouth up until they are one year old? It’s true! Being primarily nose-breathers, it makes everyday things like sleeping and eating hard whenever your little one is the slightest bit congested. Enter the NozeBot, an electric baby nasal aspirator that provides hospital-grade suction from the comfort of your own home - no manual sucking required (yuck!). Developed by a Pediatric ENT, the NozeBot gives you the ability to use the aspirator with one hand while you use the other to stabilize your baby’s head (no alligator wrestling!) and clear congestion in seconds.
