Hi!
This week, my younger sister, Paige, joined me on my podcast, WITH WHIT! She is a brand new mom and shared her experience of life in quarantine with a newborn. Moms or soon to be moms…I highly recommend you listen! She gives some amazing insight that I hope will help you with any anxiety you might be having.
AND we are back with more of Paige’s Picks! Below you will find her go-to new mom resources and feeding and newborn necessities she is using and loving! Stay tuned for things she thinks you should have around the house and nursery!

- Swaddles:
- SwaddleMe (used these from day 1- 6 weeks)
- Love to dream (used these sometimes, so easy, and the babies love having their arms up)
- Sleepea (good for when the baby starts squirming a little, we loved these because he couldn’t wiggle his arms out! We didn’t use the Snoo, so we bought the swaddles that you use without the Snoo)
- Halo Swaddle and Sleepsack (Wolf started rolling from his belly to his back at 8.5 weeks so we transitioned to the Halo Swaddle Sleepsack around 9 weeks so he could have his arms out). He is now 12 weeks and we are just getting ready to switch to the regular Halo Sleepsack.
