Graco SmartSense Soothing Bassinet

I was sent this bassinet earlier this year and I am SO impressed! I wrote a full review of the Graco SmartSense Soothing Bassinet.

The review has all the details about this bassinet but a few key features are:

This baby bassinet responds by gradually adjusting the gentle motion and white noise, cycling through soothing combinations to help lull baby back to sleep. It offers soothing combinations to choose from, including gentle motions, soft vibration, multiple speeds, white noise, and calming music.

• Stream your own songs or sounds directly from your device with Bluetooth

KeaBabies D-Lite Wrap Carrier

I’ve been using KeaBabies for a few years now and have always been pleased with their lineup of baby gear! They make practical baby products that are on trend, affordably-priced, and very useful to moms!

They recently launched a new carrier to their lineup, the D-Lit Wrap Carrier. I love that this carrier takes the classic wrap carrier and makes it way easier to put on!

I’ve seen lots of moms using wrap carriers and the straps over their shoulders and back are so bunched, in a way that leads to back pains for mom.

Moms from church can attest to the fact that I often will stop and offer to fix the rails (straps over their shoulders/back) on their carrier for them. It’s just hard to do that on your own but also if no one has shown you how much of a difference it makes to have them fixed, you just don’t know.

With this carrier’s design, you don’t have that kind of issue! That means you can do a whole lot more baby carring without your back aching, making both you and baby happier!

It’s available in a few different colors. Since I don’t know our baby’s gender yet, I got it in this beautiful Warm Hearth color which is perfect for boy or girls.

KeaBabies has a large selection of carriers – check them all out on their website or on Amazon. When ordering from the KeaBabies website, use code ThriftyNifty to save $5 off of your first order!

VTech 1080p Smart Remote Baby Monitor with Stable Floor Stand Mount, 5″ HD LCD Screen

I’ve always wanted a baby monitor that looked down over my baby’s bed. The problem was, I was not at all interested in mounting it to our wall. I hate to put holes in the wall that aren’t going to stay there for very long.

That’s why I was SO excited to discover this new monitor from VTech that comes with it’s own floor stand!

The over-the-crib floor stand is my favorite feature, but there are a lot of other reasons to check out this baby monitor too!

• Free live 1080p remote access via smartphone and tablet
• High-definition, 5-inch color LCD screen parent unit
• With smart detection, receive a “Baby’s face is not in full view. Please check!” alert on the display or smartphone if your baby’s face is covered or they have rolled over on their stomach
• Get detailed summary of your baby’s sleep patterns and analysis of the quality of their sleep
• Get free video and written tips from an expert on how to improve your baby’s sleep habits
• A soothing night light on the baby unit gently illuminates a dark nursery.
• The overhead stand ensures you always have a full view of your baby.

You can purchase this monitor at Walmart.

Kindred Bravely Louisa Maternity & Postpartum Legging

I can not say enough good things about these leggings from Kindred Bravely! I sing their praises to all of my pregnant and postpartum friends and family. They. Are. The. BEST!

Why are they the best? They have an amazing amount of stretch to them while offering SO MUCH support!

I developed problems in my veins during my 5th child’s pregnancy. I’ve learned that when I wear these leggings, my legs feel so much better at the end of the day. The leg that typically swells daily by this time in my pregnancy hasn’t had any problems on days I wear my leggings.

The belly support panel on these pants also offers plenty of stretch while also offering so much support to my growing bump.

I love to wear these leggings. They look and feel great.

I own 3 pairs! Two of my pairs are the classic style and one is the pocket style. The pocket style is great but I prefer the classic style a little bit more. The pocket leggings definitely have a more athletic look to them, while the classic leggings are perfect for pairing under my dresses and tunics.

You can purchase these amazing leggings HERE. Trust me, you won’t regret it! Use the code THRIFTYNIFTYMOMMY15 to save 15% off of your first order. This code is not valid on discounted items, bundles, or gift cards.

Graco GoMax Travel System

I’ve been a mom and reviewing baby gear for 15 years now. I’ve tried my fair share of infant car seats, strollers, and travel systems. I was recently sent the Graco GoMax Travel System for review. I plan to publish a more in depth review in the future but I wanted to share my quick thoughts with you.

• This travel system is probably the lightest one I’ve ever used. The stroller is exceptionally light without feeling cheap or poorly made. Even the car seat is a bit lighter than others I’ve tried.
• In the past, one of my complaints with Graco is that their products were more affordable but looked cheaper too. That’s NOT the case with this travel system. I love the look! It’s stylish and chic! The fabric feels and looks modern and top-of-the-line. Tjhe leather accents are the perfect touch.
• The car seat is so easy to install, whether you’re using the base or without the base.
• The stroller folds up so small – I love that it even comes with a storage bag that’s also a backpack. I wish Graco would also offer a storage bag for the car seat and base when not in use.
• The stroller pushes with such EASE. Even my kids were pushing it around the house and marveling at house easy it was to push.

You can purchase the Graco GoMax Travel System on Amazon.

This travel system would be great for any new parent but especially if you will be using public transportation, you will love this travel system!

BIBS Try-It Collection

I know there are some breastfeeding moms who choose not to use pacifiers but nearly all of my babies have used one. I tend to produce more milk than my babies need or want, yet they still want to suck something to self sooth. That’s where pacifiers have made a big difference for me.

I absolutely love this collection because it makes it easy to try multiple different pacifier shapes to find the one your baby prefers (because trust me, they don’t always prefer the same type!).

The nipples for these pacifiers are made with either natural rubber or silicone.

You can purchase this set on Amazon.

Dreamland Baby Dream Weighted Sleep Swaddle

I never started using swaddles until my 3rd baby and then I realized how helpful they were. Now I use a swaddle frequently during the first couple of months with great success.

While I’ve never tried a weighted swaddle, I was excited to discover Dreamland Baby’s weighted sleep swaddles and can’t wait to try them out with our new baby! Some of my older kids have weighted blankets and really like them so I can see why a weighted swaddle could be a game changer for a baby!

These weighted swaddles are designed to evenly distribute weight from your baby’s shoulders to toes, to help naturally reduce stress and increase relaxation.

The Dream Weighted Swaddle can be worn three ways, both arms in, one arm in, or both arms out, depending on your baby’s preference. This swaddle is a 1.0 TOG, perfect for 68-73°F or 21-23°C. It’s available in sage green (pictured above), grey star, and ocean blue.

You can purchase one of these weighted swaddles at the Dreamland Baby website and also at Amazon.

Graco SmartSense™ Soothing Baby Swing

I needed a new baby swing for our baby due this fall and when I saw this swing from Graco, I knew it was the one!

The Graco SmartSense Soothing Baby Swing is designed to soothe your baby in seconds, with technology that hears baby’s cries and responds with calming sound and motion. This baby swing has thousands of combinations of gentle motions, soft vibration, multiple speeds, white noise, and calming music.

Swing, rock, cradle, and glide motions mimic the way parents naturally soothe their babies, while a cozy body support made with organic cotton fabrics plus 3 recline positions.

I absolutely LOVE the minimalistic, clean look of this swing. It will blend in with our home decor so well.

Purchase this swing on Amazon.

BIBS Knitted Blanket

One thing I’ve always gotten for each new baby is a great blanket. When I saw the gorgeous knitted blankets from BIBS I knew I’d found one for our new baby and – bonus – it’s gender neutral which is perfect since we don’t know the sex yet.

BIBS Knitted Blanket is made of 100% organic OEKO-TEX® certified cotton. It’s sized 70cmx100cm.

I can’t wait to use this blanket with our new baby. He/she will look so precious wrapped up in this blanket!

You can purchase this blanket HERE.

Kindred Bravely Reese Oversized Linen Button Down Shirt

I’m obsessed with all things linen! It’s so soft, durable, breathable, and looks great too! I was so excited to discover that Kindred Bravely has started to product linen clothing!

This shirt is available in sizes Small – 1X and in colors Natural and French Blue. It’s great during maternity (wear it as a layering piece unbuttoned when your belly outgrows it) and then a wonderful item to have on hand postpartum.

You can purchase the shirt and shorts on the Kindred Bravely website. Use the code THRIFTYNIFTYMOMMY15 to save 15% off of your first order. This code is not valid on discounted items, bundles, or gift cards.

Mockingbird Single-to-Double 2.0 Stroller

Maybe you already have at least one child and you’re looking for a double or triple stroller or maybe this is your first baby but you’d like to have a second baby not long after.

If so, then I’d recommend checking out the Mockingbird Single-to-Double 2.0 Stroller!

This stroller:

• Quickly changes from single, to double, to even triple rider mode (with the addition of a second seat and riding board)
• Is modular so you can configure it tons of different ways
• Has a huge storage basket and x-large shade canopy
• Pushes with ease
• Features a one-handed fold

Check out my full review of the Mockingbird Single-to-Double 2.0 Stroller to get all the details. You can purchase this stroller here.

KeaBabies Ease Maternity Support Belt

Look, if you’re pregnant and you don’t have a maternity support belt yet, don’t waste any time! Head to KeaBabies and grab this to make the rest of your pregnancy much easier! I love mine so much!

This support belt will help you with:

• Lower back pain
• Round ligament pain
• Pelvic floor pain
• Posture correction
• Postpartum pelvic joint recovery

KeaBabies has these support belts available on their website or on Amazon. When ordering from the KeaBabies website, use code ThriftyNifty to save $5 off of your first order!

VTech V-Hush Stroller Rocker

Since our baby isn’t here yet, I haven’t had the opportunity to try out the VTech V-Hush Stroller Rocker, but I am SO excited to have this when he/she arrives!

You can attach this to the stroller, stationary baby seat, crib, ect. to add a rocking motion to help soothe your baby.

It has 3 different rocking speeds, plus options for soothing sounds, songs, and a nightlight with 2 brightness settings. The battery is also rechargeable!

You can purchase this awesome piece of baby gear HERE.
