- Hi guys, welcome back to my channel.
Today I'm filming for you my baby must-haves,
or my baby essentials for a baby that is
three months to six months old.
My son, Jackson, is nearly six months old
and these are all the products
that we have been using the most over the past three months.
I thought I'd film this because my
Newborn Essentials video was so, so popular.
So I will link that down below. If you have a younger baby,
definitely go and check that out.
Obviously at this age a baby is playing more,
they're able to do more, so I have
so many products to show you.
So I'm just going to quickly run through them.
I know you're a mum, I know you haven't got much time
to watch this kind of thing.
If you have any other questions, please comment below.
I always reply to my comments,
and I will make sure that I link all of these products
in the description down below,
if you want to go and have a look at them,
or find out more about them, the links are down below.
So, to start out, I'm going to talk you through
all of the products that Jackson has been loving
in terms of entertainment.
So, the first thing that I have been going on about
for the past three months is his Jumperoo.
Now I am not sponsored by these people at all.
He just loves this toy so much.
He will happily sit in it, in the kitchen,
while I make breakfast, lunch, dinner,
while I do things, he loves to sit in it and play.
He actually loves this product so much
that we have got a second activity center
to have upstairs now, so that while I'm getting dressed
or putting on my makeup, he can sit happily in that
and play with all of the toys around it.
I know it may seem a little bit excessive
to have a second activity center upstairs,
but it just makes my life so much easier
because he was definitely getting fed up
of just laying on his back with toys on my bed
while I got dressed.
Obviously to go with a toy like this
your baby has to have quite good
head control and neck control,
and I don't really put him in this for longer than
10 to 15 minutes because he is still quite young.
If your baby isn't ready for this,
my son has also really loved having a play mat.
We have had this same one for all of our boys,
and I really like it because you can
add as many toys onto it as you want.
There's music on it, there's a mirror that he loves,
and he will happily play on it,
either having tummy time or on his back.
Jackson also quite likes sitting up
in this really bright colorful ring
that we got on Amazon.
All of my boys played with it before
and it's great to help him learn how to sit up.
He can also just lay in there with some toys and he
quite likes to look at all of the bright colors around.
Jackson still loves his cot mobile as well.
This one is from Mamas and Papas.
We just got it really because it goes with the decor.
Quite enjoys the music and just watching it go around
while I choose his clothes for the day.
Jackson still also loves the Lamaze toys.
They're so bright, they're so colorful.
This one's got a mirror and makes music as well.
I've also added some Lamaze toys to his play mat as well
because he really does seem to favor them.
They're really bright, they're really colorful.
They have, like scrunchy bits on them.
And he's also now getting into books.
He really likes when I read him books now.
We love these That's Not My books
because they have like some texture on them
and they're quite simple for him
to look at the pages as well.
He also likes books that make sounds
or have sound buttons on them,
or have lots of textures and bright colors.
This wedge had been really, really great.
I found it on Amazon, and I bought it because
I felt like Jackson hated being in
his flat carrycot of the buggy.
But he wasn't quite ready to go in the
sat up part in his buggy, either,
so I looked for this buggy wedge.
It fits really well in our buggy,
and I don't only use it for the buggy,
I also sometimes use it on the play mat
because he doesn't like being really flat.
I personally think he's got maybe a little bit of reflux,
so he likes to be a little bit more sat up.
Or he's just being nosy and looking around.
But we have loved it.
We use it all the time.
We lost it momentarily on holiday
because we would even use it when he was
laying on a sun lounger to lay him on.
And we both panicked, we were like where's the wedge?
Where's the wedge gone?
We need the wedge.
So we have really loved it.
If you have a nosy baby, this might keep them going
in the carrycot part of the buggy for a bit longer.
We also just got this car mirror for Jackson.
So it goes on the seat in front of him,
so when I'm stopped at a traffic light,
I can quickly look back in the rear view mirror
and see that he is happy or asleep or what he's doing.
It just personally gives me a little bit of peace of mind
that I can kind of check on him.
And now with babies having to be in
rear facing car seats for so much longer,
I just thought it was worth mentioning this product.
Speaking of car, he is still in his Doona car seat
and I still absolutely love it.
I've done a really in-depth review on this car seat,
so I will link that down below.
It's brilliant, it has wheels that stay
attached to it at all times.
Especially for me, as a mum of three,
I find it so easy that when I do the school run
I don't have to open the boots,
the wheels are just ready to go.
You just click them down and off you go.
And I still love it, so I had to mention it again.
We also still really love our Angelcare monitor.
This is a baby monitor that has video and it has sound,
but it also measures your baby's breathing.
This really gives you peace of mind.
Because Jackson sleeps on his front,
if he didn't breathe or move or anything
for 20 seconds an alarm would go off.
I just really love having it, and knowing that
he is breathing, and that he is safe and well.
It just gives me peace of mind.
I am quite an anxious mother.
So if you are, you might also love this monitor.
Jackson has just woken up from his nap early,
so he's going to help me out with the rest of the video.
So another thing I wanted to mention was his changing mats.
We get the changing mats with really high sides.
We got one on John Lewis and one from Amazon,
and I love having them.
Obviously I would never leave him on a changing mat,
but it gives me a little bit of peace of mind
because he can roll now.
They are so, so quick, so you have to be so careful.
(baby coos)
Yeah.
I also thought I would mention his babygrows.
We get the majority of his babygrows from Next
and they just wash up really well.
There's great designs, so I wanted
to show you those as well.
I've got two bath supports to show you.
He still loves this one that you just lay on,
and it's a really thin material.
And I love having this because
you don't need a separate baby bath.
You can just stick it in the bath
and drain the water as you normally would.
And now that he is getting older,
we have got this second bath support
that he can sit up in, and he absolutely loves it.
It's so nice that he can sit with his brothers,
and play with the water.
He doesn't have a long bath, so he sits in this quite well.
As they're getting closer to six months,
I would definitely recommend a bath support like this,
because it just goes in the bath,
and you can drain the water easily, and it was really cheap.
Next up I have some teething products to show you.
I don't know about your baby, but he has been
teething so much over the last three months.
We have absolutely loved him using bandana bibs.
They are basically just a triangle,
you can get them at most places.
And I like them because they go right under the chin.
They catch all of the dribble.
He also loves this teething toy.
It's called Zoli, I got it on Amazon.
It's really easy for him to hold.
It's really gummy, it's really ridged,
and he chews on it for ages.
It's a great one to give him when he's sat in the car seat,
so I wanted to show you that.
We also had to mention his Sophie the giraffe.
He absolutely loves it, he can grip onto it really well.
It's a really good rubbery texture for him to hold
and to just chew on when he's teething,
so I definitely recommend that.
I'm really hoping you can see this,
but a viewer actually sent me a bunch of
teething jewelry and it's so clever.
I never had this with my other children.
I will put the links down below.
This one is in lovely spring colors.
It's quite stylish and you can actually just wear it.
And then your baby can eat your necklace, play with it.
No problem, they're rubbery, they can chew on them.
I even got a teething bangle, so that he can
eat my bangle if we're just out sat somewhere.
They come in all kinds of different shapes and styles.
Here is another just gray one.
And I've bene finding myself using them a lot.
Jackson loves chewing on them,
and I just think they're such a clever product.
Right then I also wanted to talk you through
a few weaning products that we have been loving.
We have weaned Jackson slightly early
at five months rather than six months.
But so many people have asked me what highchair we use.
We have the Ickle Bubba highchair, which I love.
It's really comfortable, the seat is like memory foam
and it's quite stylish, I really love it.
We have also always loved our Ikea highchair.
It's super cheap, so easy to use, so easy to clean.
You can take the legs off and take it away with you,
or to someone's house if you needed to.
So we also have loved that.
We also recently found this product.
These are little pouches that you can
stick your own homemade baby food into.
There is a zip lock on the bottom,
and then you can take them out for ease.
They're so convenient.
They're as convenient as store bought pouches,
but you can make the food yourself,
so I definitely wanted to mention those.
And finally, I just want to mention
what medication we've had for Jackson.
I've had that question a few times,
and he has definitely been getting more colds,
especially from his brothers bringing germs home.
So we always have these things in our cupboards.
We always have Calpol, we always have saline drops,
if he has a blocked nose, because
if your baby has a blocked nose
it's really hard for them to feed.
So these have been fabulous.
He also really loves Teetha powder
when his teeth really hurt.
They really calm him down.
Also been using liquid Anbesol,
which numbs the area that it hurts on his gums.
So that has also really been helping with any teething pain.
Yes, that is it for this video.
I really hope you liked it, please give it
a big thumbs up if you did,
and I will definitely film a 6 to 9 month
baby must-haves, if it's something that you want to see.
Don't forget to subscribe for more videos.
I post Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 7:00 p.m.
And I will see you very soon.
Bye.
