Preparing for Your Newborn: Veteran Mom Tips
As a first-time pregnant mama, it can be difficult listening to all of the noise. Everyone gives you unsolicited advice (which doesn’t EVER end, by the way!), people try to scare you about what is ahead, and you have no idea how things will pan out once the baby is actually here. The only thing you can control? The things you have prepared for your baby’s arrival. Most first-time moms want the best of the best and start out strong. If this sounds like you, this blog is for you! Keep reading to learn some of the best veteran mom tips and the three products you likely do not have on your registry yet, but should!
Essentials to Add to Your Registry
As you build your registry, you likely have all the main essentials covered. Stroller, crib, adorable onesies, and swings are all easy to research and find what you like. However, there are hidden items that only veteran moms know about, and we’re here to spill our secrets! Our top three favorite veteran mom tips include handy products such as our Innobaby Silicone Mini Fish Scrub & Cradle Cap Brush, Packin' SMART Twistable 3 Tier Essentials - Liquid & Dry, and our line of Oral Sensory Developmental Toys!
Innobaby Silicone Mini Fish Scrub & Cradle Cap Brush
When babies are born, you will quickly discover that they will be covered in dry skin flakes and possibly even have cradle cap on their heads. Don’t be alarmed, it is very common! Cradle cap affects about 10% of infants in the first three months of life, and 70% at three months.

That is why having a cradle cap brush ready to go is one of our hidden veteran mom tips!
Gently massage away stubborn cradle cap and dry skin with the Innobaby Bathin' Smart Silicone Mini Fish Scrub. Our Mini Fish Scrub features over 3,000 tiny micro-bristles that gently massage and break up dry skin on baby's scalp beneath their hair.
Gentle and safe enough to use on newborns and young infants, our Mini Fish Scrub is made out of 100% silicone that is mold and mildew-resistant. Bonus: the Silicone Mini Scrub is dishwasher safe or can be sterilized in boiling water for a deep clean.
Not just for cradle cap, the Mini Fish is great for the entire family - mom can use it as a facial scrub or keep it until the toddler years for easy handwashing after school or playtime! Mini Fish includes a convenient handle that is easy to grip and can be suctioned to the side of the tub, shower wall, or any other smooth surface.
Packin' SMART Twistable 3 Tier Essentials - Liquid & Dry
While you likely already have a diaper bag picked out, you may not be anticipating how actually difficult it is to go through all of those little zippers and pockets when you need something ASAP. That’s why our Packin' SMART Twistable 3-Tier Essentials is one of our secret veteran mom tips!
These stackables are totally leakproof, so stop trying to pack those delicate storage bags and bring pre-measured breastmilk on the go with our 100% LEAKPROOF stackable containers!
This awesome stackable is a diaper bag, nursery, or home must-have to store, dispense, and organize items. Each container can be securely stacked together until ready to use with our leak-proof twisting design. The removable inner lid makes dispensing easy and spilling hard, thanks to our innovative funnel design.
Each container holds approximately 1/2 cup of liquid or up to 5 scoops of powdered formula for a full 10 oz. bottle feeding.
Stack as few or as many containers as needed with our interchangeable lid, base, and containers. Packin' SMART twistable storage containers are dishwasher and freezer-safe. The entire line is BPA-free, Phthalate-free, PVC-free, and Lead-free.
Oral Sensory Developmental Toy
Teethers are a must-have for babies. Not only do teethers soothe teething pain, they are also great for the oral exploration phase that all babies face. You will soon find that your baby will stop at nothing to put anything and everything directly into their mouth!
However, not all teethers are created the same. Some are actually dangerous and damaging to a baby’s oral development. That’s why our Oral Sensory Development Toys are a veteran mom tip!
Innobaby’s teethers aren’t just great for teething pain; they’re considered “training teethers,” which means they’re great for a bunch of different reasons, including:
- Stimulate the muscles of the lips, tongue, and cheeks to improve oral motor skills
- Aids in nursing
- Building the foundation for eating solid foods
- Easier transition to drinking from cups
- Assisting in speech development
- The light and easy-to-grip handle also improves hand-eye coordination
- Giving two to baby will allow for bilateral movement and stimulation of both sides of the brain
If you’re going to give your busy baby something to play with and chew on, give them something that is developmentally beneficial!
