The Best Products to Help Your Baby Sleep

The Best Products to Help Your Baby Sleep. Get great naps and have baby sleep through the night. 

Having the right tools can help you get a job done easier. This is as true with getting baby to sleep as it is to fix a flat tire. Obviously a baby is not a tire, so using the tools correctly won't guarantee all sleep goes perfectly. Baby is a human and might respond in unpredictable ways, but these products have proven over and over to be helpful to get baby to sleep.

If you want a chance to win ALL of these products in one prize pack, head right over to my Instagram to enter to win! This is an amazing prize pack. The ladies of the BFBN and I teamed up to bring you this amazing prize pack. Collectively, we decided what our favorite items were for helping baby get great sleep. Here they are. This post contains affiliate links. 

On Becoming Babywise

We must start with the obvious--On Becoming Babywise! This is my favorite book to get baby sleeping well.





Muslin Swaddle Blankets

Muslin swaddle blankets are great for swaddling the younger babies. It can also be great for wrapping your baby up when you are out and about. 

Swaddle Blanket
A swaddle blanket is a great way to help baby sleep well. I love swaddling babies. The Woombie is great because it is convertible and breathable. Read my post on Swaddling for more.

White Noise Machine
A white noise machine is invaluable for getting baby to be able to sleep without being interrupted by random noises. There are a lot of great white noise machines out there. The Homedics is one and the Dohm is another great one.  Read all about sleep props here. 

Travel Sound Machine
If a sound machine at homes makes sense, then so does one on the go. This can be helpful in the car seat or stroller.






Gripe Water
This is one of my favorite products to help baby sleep well. I used it with my last two babies and it made a world of difference for both of them. Read all about how to help a baby with gas pain here.

Gas Drops
Gas drops are just as helpful as gripe water to help baby sleep if your baby is gassy. Only two of my babies were gassy and needed this, but it was necessary for those two.

Car Seat Canopy
A car seat canopy is a great item to have to help baby sleep on the go. Babies sleep so much that there will be times your baby is out and about during nap time. This helps block out the physical stimulation to give baby a better chance at sleeping on the go. Add in the travel sound machine and you have a winner!

Pacifier
A pacifier can come in handy when you are trying to hold baby off for a feeding or get baby to sleep while out and about. Some people use pacifiers for sleep regularly. Read all about sleep props here.

Baby Sleepers

These are handy just in general but also helpful for sleep to keep baby cozy for sleeping. Read how I recommend to dress baby for sleep.

Goodness Bee Eczema Balm {Giveaway}

I was given a sample of this product in exchange for a review. All stories and opinions are my own. 

Almost one year ago, I introduced you to Goodness Bee Eczema Balm. It was a life-changing find at our house (and you know I don't say stuff like that lightly). What better way to celebrate a one-year anniversary of something so impactful than to do another giveaway!

Okay people. This stuff works. It works better than anything else I have ever used on my girls for dry skin/eczema spots. 

Ever since Kaitlyn was a toddler, she has had a dry crack on her lip, right at the corner of her mouth. It gets worse at certain times of year. But it was almost always there. When I look at pictures, it is usually present. Since they sent us this cream last year, it has never gotten bad again. Any time we see it start to creep up, we apply the cream and BAM! It is gone. She never has to apply more than once a day to keep that painful crack away from her life. It use to get so bad it would split and bleed and scab up...no more. 

Not only does that banish pain for her, but she is now nine years old, and nine year olds start to get self-conscious about big scabs on their face. 

This not only works for eczema issues, but just dry skin that comes up. You know the raw skin under the nose during a cold? This works on that, too. If you live where you have season change, you know that extremely dry skin you get in the season change time? This works on that. Dry lips? This even makes a great chap stick.

I love this stuff and highly recommend it to you! And today you get to enter to win some to try out. Enter below and good luck!

Baby Monitors {Plus a Giveaway!}

“This giveaway is a partnership with Nakturnal, with a prize of a gift certificate”

When Brayden was a baby, we lived in a small space with no bedrooms. When he was about six months old, I finally had the bright idea to put him in the large bathroom to sleep so that our open concept house didn't go on lockdown every time he had a nap. It was all one floor and a small space overall, so the next part is comical. I used a baby monitor. Yep. I was never more than 50 steps away from him, but I felt compelled to use a baby monitor so I could hear every deep breath he took. And of course you know if I was using a baby monitor, it was up as loudly as it could go. Clearly I love baby monitors.

My love for baby monitors has not diminished over the years. As our family has grown, we have moved into larger homes, and the home we are currently in actually warrants a baby monitor. If my baby cried, I wouldn't be able to hear my baby without the monitor. 

A baby monitor definitely is a double-edged sword. When you can hear every breath your child makes, then you probably aren't sleeping as well as you could, and your baby likely isn't, either. For example, when Brayden was a baby, I prided myself on being at his side the second he made a peep in the night. I am a very light sleeper, and I have found being a mother with a newborn only makes me more light. 

As more babies came my way, I came to realize that babies make noise while sleeping. Lots of noise. While sleeping. This means that many times, those peeps were made while asleep. I learned with my girls to wait a bit before jumping to pick them up. I would wait and make sure they were actually awake and not just making noise in their sleep. So having a baby monitor can lead you to reacting too fast to every noise your child makes. 

As time went on, new things came to be common for the nursery list. Among those was the video monitor. If the baby monitor was something to magnify sounds, the video monitor added a whole new dimension to the parenting picture. I came to realize things. Things like, times where I thought a baby had quietly drifted to sleep and then woke 20 minutes later crying were actually times the baby was awake for 20 minutes before crying. That is a game changer because it changes how you approach waketime in the future. One way means waketime was too long, the other means it was too short. That is helpful and vital information! 

It also helped me know with Brinley, my fourth baby, that often she cried in her sleep, even as an older baby. She didn't just do that as a newborn. She did it as a "veteran" baby. Now, I had been around the parenting block enough times to know to not rush in right away, but the video monitor helped me know to not rush in at all. She was still asleep. She would cry for a couple of minutes and then quietly continue sleeping. 

Some people like to stop using monitors as soon as baby consistently sleeps through the night, which isn't necessarily a bad idea. It will probably leave you sleeping better at night. But like I said, I like baby monitors. Brinley still has both her sound baby monitor and her video monitor in her bedroom. If you worry about removing the monitor all together, you can always turn it way down. And I get it! Monitors can disrupt your sleep.

When McKenna was a baby, I had to put the monitor as far across the room from me as possible, on the lowest volume setting, covered by a pillow, and I slept with ear plugs. I still heard her just fine. My husband never heard her before I did. So I get the trouble monitors can cause with sleep. If you live in a home with a setup where you can ditch the monitor, it can definitely be helpful to your sleep!

By the way, let me throw  plug in for the baby monitor we use for Brinley. It is a VTech Safe & Sound Digital Audio Monitor. It still works as well as it did the first day we got it (four years ago). Also, something very helpful for me is that it doesn't send every peep over the monitor. It waits until the sound is consistent. So you don't hear unless your baby is really, actually crying. Fabulous. 

I have come a long way since my days of using a baby monitor basically needlessly. Despite any sleep I may have lost with the monitor use, it has been instrumental in me recognizing patterns and deciphering cries for my babies. It has helped me get to know them faster and address their needs with more accuracy. So I am a big believer. 

For fun today, we have a giveaway! The prize is a $50 USD gift card! You can use that $50 to buy a monitor or something else you need for your baby.

Babes, Tots, and Kids eBook Giveaway!

It is that time of year again--time to think about school time! It can be hard to work in planning and executing preschool at home. This is especially true once you have more than one child you are trying to work with at a time. It is hard to know what to do with a four year old AND a two year old at the same time that will work for both of them equally.

That is why Raegan and I wrote the book Babes, Tots, and Kids. As  moms who do preschool at our home, and Raegan homeschools. We wanted a program we could use with all of our young children at the same time. We love it! I have done the activities for all of my children and have really enjoyed it. You will love it!

Super Baby Food Cookbook {Giveaway!}

This is a sponsored post. I received this book for free to review it in exchange for this product. This post contains affiliate links.

I have talked about the book Super Baby Food on this blog several times. I love the book! The author, Ruth Yaron, has just released a Super Baby Food cookbook. Hurray! This book is full of recipes for baby on up through children. The recipes include full color photos, which I always love in a cookbook. It is also much smaller than the big purple book, which is handy for using in the kitchen and/or taking around with you when on the go.

This is kind of like the Cliff's Notes version of the original book. If you want healthy food ideas for your baby and don't need the massive amounts of information in that book, you can get this book and just put it into action. 

Or if you are like me and love the massive amounts of information but also love photos for recipes, this is a great addition to the Super Baby Food book you already have. 

In the Super Baby Food Cookbook readers will find:

1. Nutritious, delicious and easy to follow recipes that include favorite ingredients such as fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes, as well as recipes for smoothies, nut milks, granola, and mock ice cream—many the whole family will enjoy!
2. A bonus of  “healthy extra” tips and how to use them in recipes, including chia seeds, wheat germ sprinkles, hemp seeds, flax seeds, and more. 
3. Super Baby Food recipes come to life, from the simplest Avocado Smash to the infamous “Super Porridge,” to complete breakfast, lunch and dinner meals.

If you want to know my thoughts on the original book, see this post: Book Review: Super Baby Food

Goodness Bee Eczema Balm {Giveaway}

This post is written in partnership with Goodness Bee. All opinions are my own. 

A few months ago, I was contacted by Justin from Goodness Bee.  He told me he had developed a cream for eczema to help his daughter. They had tried multiple solutions to help their daughter out and nothing was working. Necessity is the mother of invention, and love can drive us to do more than we think we can, so he experimented and produced a cream. He asked if I would be interested in trying it, which I definitely was! He sent me a complimentary balm and asked me to share with you my findings.

It is amazing. You may know McKenna has eczema. Brinley came along and also had it, though we were able to keep it under control with our tricks--other than one spot on her face. I recently realized that (duh) that dry spot on Kaitlyn's face by her lips that is almost always an open wound is eczema. We have tried many, many products over the years. Some work better than others, some not at all.

We tried this cream on Kaitlyn. For her entire life, she has times of the year that she just has this open wound on her face. It cracks and it hurts. Staying on top of it has proven to pretty much just leave a red streak instead of a crack, but if we miss one day, the crack appears. Also, she is getting old enough that she feels self conscious having a red sore on her face.

This Goodness Bee cream has made it so Kaitlyn has not cracked at all. I only apply it when the skin starts to get red. One application cures it right away and it stays find for many days and sometimes more than a week. Oh how I love this cream! I don't have to apply it daily, and as soon as I see an issue, I apply it and the skin is healed within hours. In past years, we have had to stay on top of it daily, and one slip up meant at least  week of daily applications to get it back under control.

Brinley had her eczema spot pop up on her face during a cold. A little cream and it was gone! I have used it on myself on just dry, irritated areas of skin and it is better right away.

I love that I don't have to use much of this--the stuff will last a very long time.

If you want to see before and after pictures, check out their website: http://goodnessbee.com/

I have always said different things work for different people, but I would say if your child has eczema, try this first. It is 100% organic. They also use minimal amounts of ingredients to prevent further irritation from other ingredients. It works so well and so fast that it is so worth the monetary risk. Though I must point out that they offer a 100% money back guarantee, so your only risk is shipping cost.

June 2016 Update: This stuff is still absolutely amazing. I will definitely be purchasing a new balm when ours runs out, but it hasn't run out yet!

Laurelbox {Giveaway}

This post is in partnership with Larelbox. I received a Larelbox to try in preparation for this post. All opinions are my own. 

In life, we often go through difficult times. As friends and family members, when we see someone going through a hard time, we want to do something to show love, care, and concern, but sometimes we can't think of what to do or get. Enter Laurelbox (www.laurelbox.com).

I love the idea of this company. When someone has a miscarriage or stillborn baby, people are often at a loss of what to do for that person. The Larelbox is a touching way to do something for that woman. When you lose a child in that way, you don't have a lot to hold on to to remember that child by. Something like this will give the woman something to hold on to--something to look at to remember her little one by.

They also offer boxes for difficult seasons, baby or child loss, infertility, foster families, spouse loss, and family member loss. You can also create your own box. They even ship internationally!

The ladies of Laurelbox sent me a box in honor of Braxston. I loved it and wanted to let you all know about this company and they offered to do a giveaway. 

The winner of the giveaway will get a personalized Laurelbox. You can use it as a gift for someone you know or for yourself to nourish your own heart. 

You will get your choice of one forget me not or infinity necklace (in gold or silver), choice of herbal tea, choice of a tea towel, and a seed plantable paper.

They are also offering a 10% discount to all of you. Use the code CBWMom. This code will expire July 3, 2015.

Chronicles of a Babywise Mom Book of Logs Giveaway

Several years ago, I created a book of logs to help people track things for their baby's first year. It outlines the things I pay attention to when problem solving and looking for patterns. It should help you to be able to identify what works and what doesn't as well as giving you guidelines for where you should be. You can read more here.

I only charge $1 for a downloadable copy, so it is very affordable for everyone. Even so, I thought a giveaway would be fun. I will give away 5 copies of the logs with this giveaway. A penny saved is a penny earned, right? Enter below and good luck!
