Easy Life Hacks for New Parents

Having a baby is both the best and scariest thing that can happen to a person, especially if it’s their first one. Fortunately there are plenty of books and online lists (like this one!

) that can help you on your new and exciting journey into parenthood.

Even if your new baby is fussy, or your toddler has a short attention span, there are ways to make your life a lot less stressful while still giving your child all of the attention they need.

Here are some simple, easy and fun life hacks for new parents. Stick with us mama, and you’ll become a great parent.

Keep a Mesh Bag for Tiny Socks

Socks in general are prone to disappear in the laundry, so tiny baby socks are practically done for. Instead of just crossing your fingers and hoping they don’t get lost, keep all of your baby socks in a mesh bag and wash them in it, too.

Invest in Amazon Prime

We know what you’re thinking, “Amazon Prime, but why?” Well, ordering items online can sometimes save you more time and money than going to the store or ordering something online and paying for shipping.

If you have an Amazon Prime subscription you can save up to 20% on diapers alone. And, you’ll get access to Amazon’s library of children’s shows and music!

Protect Rubber Duckies from Mold

We have a fun trick to protect rubber duckies and bath toys from getting gross from mold and mildew. All you have to do is plug up the holes underneath the toys with a hot glue gun so that no water gets stuck in the toys.

Overpack Your Diaper Bag

When you’re traveling with your baby and need to pack a diaper bag, maybe pack an extra shirt for yourself, too.

Sometimes when feeding your baby they’ll spit up on you and when you’re out in public that can be hard to clean, and sometimes it’s nice just having a spare to swap out.
