As busy moms on the go, it is so helpful to have the quickest and most effective products to help us on a day to day basis. Whether it is the best traveling pumping and breastfeeding supplies, a portable steamer to get the wrinkles out of our clothes, baby gadgets, or kitchen cleaning supplies, we will usually do whatever it takes to make our lives a little bit easier.
Below I am sharing some items that have helped me significantly as a busy, nursing mom on the go!
(to shop any of the items, you can click the pictures or the links below)
Steamer: I absolutely love this handheld steamer for removing wrinkles from any clothes. Just add water, plug it in, and steam out your wrinkles. It’s perfect for traveling, on the go, or a quick steam before you are running out the door. Bye bye to irons!
Medela Handheld Pump: If you are a nursing or pumping mama, this handheld pump is so helpful. I can’t tell you how many times I have had to pump on the go, in the car, or around the house. As a busy mom, I can’t always be attached to an outlet. I use this handheld pump on one side and my haaka on the other to catch the letdown, and then I switch sides.
Medela Steam Bag: These steam bags are so quick and easy for sterilizing bottle and pump pieces. Each bag can be used up to 20 times. Just pour 2 oz of water and stick it in the microwave to clean. Perfect for at home or traveling!
Medela Wipes: These wipes are also the best for traveling with bottle and pump parts! You don’t even need soap or water. Just wipe your pieces down after use and let them air dry or dry with a towel, and you’re ready to use them again asap!
Sleeping Eye Mask: Raise your hand if you sleep with an eye mask?! If you don’t, I know what you’re thinking. “How could someone sleep with that over his/her face?” I used to think the same thing until I started using this. I sleep so much better with this over my eyes. It blocks all light, is soft and comfortable, and has an adjustable strap for all head sizes. I even got Austin on board. Call us high maintenance sleepers, but I promise it is so worth it ;).
Make Up Wash Cloths: I saw these at my parent’s house in their guest rooms and immediately ordered some for my house. These are great for yourself or a guest room to avoid nasty make up stains on your nice white towels. Plus, they are super cute!
Sassy Stacks of Circles: Love these little stacking rings. They are each a different texture and size, which keeps Ansley constantly entertained. She can shake, teethe, stack and carry them around.
Joovy Walker: This is one of my number one favorites! We started using this around 8 months, and it has kept her occupied longer than any other toy, bouncer, or seat we have tried. She learned to put one foot in front of the other and began learning to walk by using this every day!
Munchin Snack Cups: These are perfect for any baby snacks! We use these for her Happy Baby Puffs especially when we’re on the go. She loves being able to carry this around and feed herself.
Munchin Straw Sippy Cup: Ansley is still learning to suck from this sippy cup, but I have many friends that have highly recommended this one. It has a weight on the bottom of the straw to help keep the straw in the water, two handles on the top, and a cover for the straw.
Baby Portable Fan: This has been one of my top sellers from y’all! It wraps so well around the car seat or stroller. It has 3 power settings for low, medium, and high. It can be recharged with a USB cord and has a great battery life.
Stack Up Cup Toys: I figured we should get Ansley her own cups, since she always loved playing with ours. She loves to teethe on the edges of the cups, and they are also great for stacking.
Sit to Stand Learning Walker: This is so fun! It can be used as a push walker as baby is learning to stand and walk. The front part also can be removed as a separate interactive sing-a-long toy. Ansley loves this!
Magnetic Screen Door: We have had this since we got Millie, and it is perfect for keeping bugs out of the house on the days we want to keep the back door open! It easily tacks onto the outside of the door and has a magnet in the center to automatically close after walking through.
Meyers All Purpose Cleaner: These are some of my favorite cleaning products. Not only do they smell amazing, but they get all dirt, grime, and food stains off of the counter. We use the counter spray constantly, especially after Ansley eats ;).
Weiman Counter Top Spray: This one is also such a great spray! It disinfects, protects and shines the counters (we have Quartz countertops), and smells so fresh!
Weiman Stainless Steel Wipes: Say goodbye to dried food and fingerprints on your refrigerator, microwave, oven, and dishwasher! These work magic to keep your appliances looking fresh and shiny!
Folex Carpet Spot Remover: With a baby, a dog and a white rug, I knew I needed a good stain spray. This one is also MAGIC! Whether it’s red wine, dirt, wet mud, or food, this spot cleaner removes stains right as you spray. It also comes with a cloth and 2 scrub brushes too!
I hope this was helpful for any other busy moms! I know these have been life saving products for me as I am constantly on the move with the baby.
