Les "MUST HAVE"  N°1 : Les langes

“MUST HAVE” N°1: Swaddles

Posted by Marine Fontana on

Far from realizing the importance of these delicate diapers for my baby; It was practice that made me understand my mistake. Let me explain to you why these cotton muslin squares will become your everyday partners.

NAPPINGS, ALLIES FOR SMALL EMERGENCIES AND COCOONING MOMENTS

After several months of experimentation, and a lot of hindsight, I am going to share with you my list of “Must Haves” in our little baby's trousseau. The facts speak for themselves and I reviewed my role between the mother I thought I would become and the one I really am. Likewise between what I imagined was necessary and reality: there is indeed a “gap”! (no, no, the cushion bottle* or the pacifier sunglasses** are not to be put in No. 1... but I'm thinking more of the diapers!).

Aside from my desire to tell you that everything is to be had at Milinane, I will simply give you a list of the essentials, as objectively as possible.

THOUSANDS OF SWAPS!

I'm going to start by talking to you about diapers. These are our allies for a few months. From the first days, whether you are bottle-feeding or breastfeeding, you should always have one on hand. Given the recurrence of meals, we don't skimp on the quantity. You need at least 4 to have 2 clean ones per day but you can easily go up to 10!

In permanent contact with our baby's skin, we do not hesitate to choose quality cotton that does not become rough at the first wash. As much as possible, opt for the widest ones taking into account the diversions that we make of them!

MULTIFUNCTION AND INVENTIONS...

And yes, you will surprise yourself to find very varied functions in it! Emergencies invite us to be imaginative. To give you an idea, I myself have used it as a temporary comforter, an extra change sheet when out walking, a baby wedge when it is well rolled up, a spare bib when we are short, even improvising a extra panties for lack of having a change of clothes! And I'm probably forgetting some! The diaper becomes our best friend as it stands, like a shield, between our magnificent silk shirt that we enjoy putting on again and our little angel. He is the firefighter of the “big burp” and just about anything that has a liquid appearance and must be stopped instantly! (let’s stay Smart please ;-)

With use, cotton muslin softens; the diapers remain pleasant for baby's skin.

So slip 2-3 into your maternity suitcase and include them in your birth list!

Confirmed moms, do you vote for this best? Tell me everything.
