1. Double up on sheets
To make middle of the night crib sheet changes easy, layer your crib like this: mattress protector, crib sheet, mattress protector, crib sheet. Then all you have to do is rip off the top layer and you're done!
2. Prepare night bottles ahead of time
If you're formula feeding, instead of having to fix a bottle for every night feeding, plan ahead and keep pre-filled bottles and pre-measured formula nearby at night so all you have to do is pour and shake!
3. Drink cold water while breastfeeding
I had already quit breastfeeding before I had heard this hack, but during the early weeks when breastfeeding is painful, I've heard that taking a sip of ice cold water while latching the baby on can help get your mind off of the pain! Even if it doesn't work, staying hydrated is always important during breastfeeding!
4. Use less wipes
When your baby poops, instead of using a ton of wipes, use the dirty diaper to wipe away most of the poop before using wipes. As an added bonus, most of the stinky poop is folded up in the diaper too!
5. Starting solids
When you're starting solids, if you're having a hard time getting baby to eat off of a spoon, let them suck the food off of your finger!
6. Pants under a onsie
For a cute chic look, try snapping the onsie shut over the pants! I especially like this look with patterned pants!
7. Reusable changing table
Instead of buying a changing table that you'll be done with once you're out of the baby stage, use a dresser and a changing table pad on top of it! Bonus hack: If you live in a 2 story house, keep diapers/wipes on the other floor too!
That's all for now! But keep an eye out for a very special blog post tomorrow!
