Breast Pump
With a mother’s breast milk noted for its superior and special nutrients, any new mom would love to give their little one as much of the natural wonder food as possible. Rather than keep running home to breastfeed the baby a breast pump can help to ensure there’s always bottle full of the special food and drink for the newest and first entry into the household.Here is a list from the Consumers Affairs of the Best Breast Pump for 2017.
Smartphone apps
In this time and age, a Smartphone might not look like a special recommendation for a new mother, but it definitely is! As our offline social lives get thinner the apps for virtually everything, even nursing a baby, increases. Thus, when your days or month old bundle of joy has the flu or some condition you hardly understand at the middle of the night a few apps will get you the answer you need rather than wake up your mother thousands of miles away. Sleepless nights are also a new reality, and the device will come in handy as the little one falls asleep in your hands. Check out those parenting apps.
It’s hard to know when to check on your baby or monitor her movement. Snuza is a monitor that detects the baby movements that allows you to do other duties as the device, clipped on the diaper of the baby close to her tummy, does all the work. In case the device senses zero movements for a quarter of a minute a shrill from the alarm will alert you to go and check the little one.
A new mom who is trying to juggle entrepreneurship, clients, and a baby needs all the help she can get. The pocket nanny from Itzbeen is a unique piece of tech allowing you to keep track of the little one’s diaper affairs, feeding, and naps, among others.

It’s a singular mobile tech that will intelligently decipher the baby’s sleep stage and react with the right noise and lights fitting the occasion.
Web viewing baby video monitor (with or without remote viewing)
Would you like to know what the nanny does with your bundle of joy at home while out there meeting the needs of your clients? What about peeking at the special little bundle of joy in your breaks at work? A video baby monitoring device enabled with web viewing maximizes the power of the internet, home camera, and wireless connection to connect you with your home or baby’s nursery. Nannys aren’t perfect and keeping an eye on the toddler can give you some much-needed peace of mind.
