Nursing Bras, Tummy Tubs and baby bath stuff

[MariaM]

These are the bulk of the remainder of my shopping list, and I'm starting to stress just a little seeing as there's a very good chance this baby will be here in just over 2 weeks.
2 weeks!

So tell me what are the best nursing bras, in your opinion?
Anyone have a tummy tub? Opinions?
What baby bath stuff do you use, soaps and lotions, etc...?
What about wipe wash?

Well, I can't answer most of your questions. I use reg bras when I nurse, I don't know what a tummy tub is (but now I'll be reading) and I use plain water for my wipes.
but w/ bath wash and lotion I use plain jane Baby Magic original. I know that isn't super cool or anything, but my first boy is a red head who had SUPER sensitive skin and the Baby Magic was the only thing that didn't break him out. We tried Burts Bees, homemade stuff etc. and they all affected him badly... so now it's all I stick with.

I like Glamourmom & Target nursing tanks. (Target is much cheaper!)

For baby wash, I like Naturally Luxe. We rarely usually use lotion on the kids, so no comment there. I'd probably order from NL if we needed some. We use NL baby wash for wipe solution too - just a few drops in a foamer bottle full of water.

We haven't used a tummy tub, but I think Di Linh used a bucket in a similar way?

She did Allison! I've already gotten her advice, lol.
I just like hearing lots of opinions on things like this since everyone is so different.

I get my bras from Motherhood. I am large chested and out of all I have tried those just seem to agree with me best.

Tummy tub don't have one but had a friend that used a bucket. I stick with a regular baby bathtub since I am still scared of slippery babies.

Baby stuff I am also stuck on. Last time I used stuff from BlueHouseSoaps and loved it. I stocked up but it's gone now. I was thinking of getting the Naturally Luxe all over baby wash though. Not sure what to get for lotion. We use shea butter lotion from Frost Fish Cove soaps but I think that is a bit too heavy for a little one but it's the only thing that really works for my sensitive, dry skinned kids.

Wipe wash I have tried a few but never found the love. I use plain water. Keep a stack of damp wipes in the wipe warmer and that is what I love.

tummy tubs are super popular over here, but we never used one. i know a lot of people who swear by them and equally as many people who said they didnt like it and switched to bathing with baby. we just always bathed with the babies i cant believe how close you are!

I love Bravado nursing bras and I normally just use plain water in a spray bottle for wipes. I love Burt's Bees apricot oil for after bathtime and northern essence diaper rash salve. I don't know what kind of baby wash I am going to use this time around.

I love japanese weekend "hug" nursing bras. Ummm... I still wear them because they are like normal bras.
We never used any soap or lotions. We did start using a shampoo eventually, we used california baby shampoo.
We didnt use wipe wash either, just water.

I am not much help huh?

I prefer the Aveno baby wash until they are about 6 months old at least.

I rarely use lotion.

Wipe solution is plain water 90% of the time. Otherwise, i use a monkey bit wipe wash cube here and there.

I use CA baby diaper cream and CHH Bee Balm. I prefer the Bee Balm over anything else though!

I have no clue what a tummy tub is. My kids always just bathed in the sink or with me. Usually with me. Shower, bath, doesn't matter. If it's the shower, DH is just on hand to take the baby when he/she is done. Or most of the time, it's DH giving the bath/shower and I'M on hand to take the baby.

Oh and the best diaper rash salve ever is by Frost Fish Cove Soaps. That stuff seriously has cured every rash in 24 hours or less. I stocked up on 4 jars already LOL

I have Bravado nursing bras that I bought to use for nursing a toddler...less NIP w/ DS1.

But for my DS2, with NIP, I wanted nursing tanks only, so I don't have to worry about exposing my belly and back. I have Glamourmom and Bravado. The Glamourmom ones are easier to unclasp, and the band is adjustable. The Bravado have no adjustment in back, so less digging of the clasps. I suppose I prefer the Glamourmom.

For bath stuff, I use CA baby wash. Wipes..I just use plain water. Though I do have CA baby diaper area wash in the car, just in case.

no tummy tubs here. i either bathe with baby or plop them in the sink for a quick once over.

i have used motherhood nursing bras, anita nursing bras and something i got from nordstrom that i can't think of right now. i will likely use glamourmom nursing tanks for the first couple of weeks when my boobs are at their biggest and then order something from nursingbras.com when things settle a bit size wise.

i really like the glamourmom nursing tanks. i'm tallish and their long lengths actually stay over my tummy and don't creep up. they also have a new style with bigger cups but normal body size for when you're engorged.

as for bath stuff...i'm stumped. i love california baby, but it's so expensive. i might just buy one little bottle of unscented all over body wash and only use it occasionally. yes, i'm cheap.

I like breakoutbras.com . She has comments on almost all the bras that I've found extremely helpful. Free shipping and there's always a coupon code if you google for it.

For baby wash I have Naturally Luxe. But I use it very sparingly and I"ve had the same bottle for at least a year now. Just plain water for wipes but there's been a few times I've put just a drop of that baby wash on the wipe. It's easier with the bigger kids around, though to run and wet me a wipe or 2 when I need it.

Never used a tummy tub but would give it a go if I had it to do over. I bet you could easily sell it at a resale shop if you decided you hated it and probably recoupe 1/2 your money.

2 weeks?! Are you going to go ahead and schedule an induction? Im so happy for you honey, its almost here!!!

Im totally into GlamourMom here too, I have about 13 tanks now and thats all I wear, with cardigans for easy access. I prefer the bra style strap over the cotton strap because you get more support, but thats just me. I also always size up in those because they fit small (Im still comfortably wearing a large and am now about 140lbs and a big C cup if that helps).

I was thinking about the tummy tub too but read some reviews that werent so glowing so I skipped it, we have a mesh bath chair and use that with success, but I think its just preference, the tub does sound cool though.

CANT WAIT!!!!!
