Peycie's essentials

I was thinking on what to post and suddenly realized that I haven't shared with you my LO's essentials.  Babies are sensitive and you're lucky if your LO didn't show any sign of allergies with the first products you used to them.

MILK
Peycie was only breastfed for 2 weeks and her Pedia (who is my SIL) gave her Similac.  Don't get her wrong, my SIL is a pro breastfeeding pedia, it's just that Peycie finds it hard to latch on me and also I can only produce 1 oz per pump despite of all the "sabaw, malunggay" and clams. 

BOTTLES
Way before I gave birth, I was looking for reviews on each brand of baby bottles and Avent has the best reviews.  I chose Natural because it has a breast-shaped teat in which will not lead my baby to confusion.  I only bought the starter set believing that I'll only use it when I get back to work.

 

STERILIZER

When I was still pregnant, I did not opt to buy a sterilizer yet, just like the bottles because I believe that I can/will exclusively breastfeed my baby.  I remember, when we decided to mixfeed, I asked my husband to buy a sterilizer and even called me while in the mall because he didn't know what to buy.  I just told him to purchase Chicco (read good reviews as well) which can fit the Avent bottles.

 



DIAPER
We use 2 diapers on our baby.  Huggies Dry during day and Drypers on night time.  I haven't experienced leaks on these 2 nappies.

 

 

BODY WASH

We arrived home from the hospital with Lactacyd used by the Nursery for our baby.  We used it for the mean time, however Peycie developed rashes and immediately stopped it.  From then until now, we use Cetaphil for her and luckily no more rashes or any sign of allergies.

 

 

SHAMPOO

On her 1st month, we used Cetaphil too as her shampoo but eventually changed it to Mustela on her 2nd month.  Again, this is based on moms' reviews on GT. :D

 

 

BABY WIPES

We tried different wet wipes and Kirkland is the only one which doesn't easily strip.  We only buy this at S&R and I am not sure if it's available in other stores.  By the way, I only use this to clean her poop, but still using cotton and clean water to wipe the area everytime I change her diaper.

 

 

 

 

COLOGNE

My SIL advised me not to put any cologne yet when Peycie was still really small.  I started using it on her baptism.  We are using Enfant not only because I received it from my baby shower but it smells good too!  We only put it on her clothes and not directly to her skin.

 

 

LOTION

It happened one time that my baby's skin got dry.  We only trust Cetaphil to moisturize her skin.

 



 

So far, these brands work well with my baby.  Planning to try different shampoo and soap for her but only when she turns 6 months. ☺
