Are you expectant parents, or have you recently introduced a new baby to the world? It is generally a hectic time and a quick learning process; you have to learn about your child’s nature and personality, bond with them emotionally, and look after their practical needs; feeding, nappy changing, and ensuring they get enough restorative sleep.
With so much going on in your life, it can feel like a bit of an upheaval, all of a sudden you have very little time to yourself and most of your waking life is spent thinking about and caring for your new baby. At the same time, you don’t begrudge this; there are times when you wish you had a little minute or two to yourself to rest-up or do something you also enjoy.
New technologies, devices, and baby products are changing our parenting methods for newborns, infants, and toddlers; there’s no need to get-grotty when cleaning out your baby’s airways anymore, you can use a nasal aspirator, and measuring the temperature and quantity of formula milk has never been more efficient and accurate with machines to do the work. Below are some of the best products on the market in 2020.
The snotsucking nasal aspirator
Because babies and infants don’t have complete control over their breathing is common for snot to build up in the airways and cause them discomfort; they might have a runny nose, noisy breathing, snoring, sneezing, or coughing. If your baby is fussy, perhaps nursing, taking a bottle, or going to sleep, it could sign that they have some nasal congestion. The easy way to solve this is by using a nasal aspirator, which can quite effectively remove the troublesome snot.
The NoseFrida Aspirator with extra filters is a top pick for 2020; this snotsucker differs from bulb syringes. It’s designed not to damage the delicate mucous membranes in your baby’s nasal airways. Damage to the mucous membranes high up in the baby’s nose can irritate and bruise, leading to inflammation and further blockages. The hygiene filter in the device is super absorbent and easy to dispose of and replace. It is entirely non-toxic and designed by doctors.
Before each feeding, it’s good to use the aspirator, to make sure your baby can eat in comfort. Don’t use the aspirator when your baby is lying down, for best results sit them upright, as in a car seat. One nostril at a time, use the aspirator to extract the loose mucous in the cavity; repeat with the other nostril. You can then dispose of the used filter and install a new one for next time. You might find that you need the aspirator regularly in the early months and years until your baby has better control of their breathing.
Hipp infant milk
Breastfeeding is a time for bonding with your baby, and it’s recommended for at least the first six months of your infant’s life. Still, it may not be possible for some women to breastfeed, perhaps because of a medical condition, or some medication. Following the initial six months of breastfeeding, the baby typically goes onto formula milk. There are many different formulas to choose from depending on your baby’s constitution: adapted cows milk, goats milk, whey milk, lactose-free milk, among many more.
Hipp formula milk is organic and sustainable formula milk for your infant that is nutritious and environmentally conscious. The company is dedicated to producing high-quality organic formula milk that exceeds EU standards, using their own farms with excellent soil analyses and zero pollutants; the company provides a range of formula milk to accommodate different needs. Their Combiotic range combines the latest scientific knowledge with the best organic ingredients to produce a gentle and delicious formula milk.
Whether your baby’s formula milk is organic or not it is made from either cow’s or goat’s milk; the big difference is that with organic milk there is little or no toxins or pollutants in the product; this is determined by what the animals are fed and how they are treated. As it is free from hormones, chemicals, and pesticides, in theory, organic milk should be best for your child; however, some brands contain high sugar levels: it’s worth checking first if organic milk is right for your baby.
The nighttime multi-tasker
The nighttime multi-tasker is one of those products you can’t live without after you’ve tried it, and if you happen to get one when your baby is a bit older, you’ll wish you had had it from the start.

With a new baby in your life, things can become pretty busy, and, if you’re new to parenthood, there can be a lot to learn all at once. Feeding your baby requires time and preparation; it’s important to get the milk’s temperature correct, the right measurements, and ensure that everything is sterilized to keep your baby free from infections.
