Why don't other moms tell you essentials you need to make your life easier? Is it that they don't think about it, or they simply want you to learn as you go, as they did? Maybe a little of both! Well, I'm here to tell you some essentials you can't live without. These also make great gifts for expectant mothers! 1. Hammock Swing - You automatically assume you need a rocking chair for the nursery, right? Don't get me wrong, rocking chairs are great. I was very attached to mine until I sat in a friend's hammock chair one day. I went home, hopped online and searched online stores like SoothingCompany.com, and ordered one with a stand immediately. No more aching back from sitting there rocking all night in a stiff chair. 2. Aden and Anais Muslin Blanket - If you are breastfeeding, you cannot be without these ...
