It’s funny each month the husband and I remark at how this is our ‘favorite’ month and what I’m starting to realize is … every month/year/decade will always be the best! Just a few of the highlights of the past few months include Jellybean crawling, pulling up on everything in sight, holds her own bottle, clapping and producing FOUR teeth! The whole teething thing was not a high point, but her adorable smile with 4 little pearly whites certainly is.
I have already shared my newborn and 3-5 month must have baby gear. I’m excited to continue the series with more essentials for months six to eight! Careful consideration goes into each product before we purchase it. It’s important to ensure things are a good match for both Jellybean and our lifestyle. Over the past few months I have found so many baby and mommy approved items that I had trouble narrowing down the list of essentials to share with you!
Burpy Bib // This is a burp cloth and a bib in one! It’s definitely a little bit pricier than your typical bib or burp cloth, but totally worth it! I with I had invested in a few more of these earlier on. Though I still swear by the cheap burp clothes I mentioned in my newborn necessity post, I’m a big fan of these as well!
RazBaby Raz-Berry Teether // Despite not being a pacifier lover, Jellybean is fan of this teether. There are a bunch of textures on it and has come in handy when her gums have been especially itchy.
Squeeze and Teethe Elephant
Snack Catcher // We call it the Cheerio cup! This comes in handy both at home and when we are on the go. Keeps, most, of the cheerios in the cup and Jellybean can feed herself without any issues.
Sleepwear – Cupcake Onsie // These are my favorite nighttime onsies. The come in the cutest designs, plus they are footless. Jellybean is pretty tall so when we tried to go up a size in clothes for her length and they were too big around the waist I realized footless onsies were the perfect middle ground. JB still sleeps in a sleep sack so we don’t worry about her toesies getting cold.
Having a Ball Get Rollin Activity Table
Peak-a-Boo Forest // This was given to us as a gift and Jellybean has been a pretty big fan for a while. The book makes that crinkle noise, which is a huge hit. Over the past few weeks Jellybean has gone from liking the book to being completely obsessed. She carries it everywhere (by the handle) and cries when you try to take it away … sorry JB, but the book can’t bathe with you hahaha.
Booster Pads Diaper
Munchkin Lake Buddies Bath Tub Toy
Puj Spout Cover
Butt Paste // When registering and purchasing maternity clothes I got a lot of bags with free samples. One of the samples was Butt Paste. I gave the name a little snicker and threw it into my ‘master’ bag of samples. Little did I know Butt Paste would become our go to when a diaper rash was developing. Jellybean’s skin is very sensitive and it took a few tries to find the right tush cream.
So there you have it our favorite for Jellybean’s 6th, 7th and 8th month. What are your must have baby gear items? Any recommendations for months 9 to 12??
Oh and it’s so cliche, but how do they grow up so fast?

– Pretty standard item most women purchase pre-delivery. The only addition I have to this is get multiple sizes and bring a few of your own pads to the hospital in case, like me, you don’t really like the ones the hospital provides.
– I am all about my DSLR, however the ability to quickly capture moments remains key. It’s lightweight and doesn’t take the ‘effort’ of shooting in manual with my Nikon D90. Also easier to use for the non-shutterbugs, as well as increasing the odds you are present in future family photos. Added bonus for this camera is it shoots well in low light … super helpful when trying to limit or completely eliminate using a flash on a newborn.
