Whether you are a stay at home mom or a working mom, I think we can all agree that we would love to find a way to earn extra money whenever we can. Most of the time, it’s harder for us to find things we can do while we have our children with us, but rest assured that there are MANY side hustles out there that you could do even while home with your little ones. Although this one is a little bit harder to get into as you really need to build a clientele in order to get steady work, it’s still one that could potentially replace full time work once you get the hang of it. There are many parents that stay home with their children to offset childcare expenses, but staying at home does not mean you can’t make money.

Here are my top 7 breastfeeding essentials for new moms: OK, getting straight to the nitty gritty you will definitely want some nipple cream to soothe sore and cracked nipples that are likely to occur in the first few weeks of nursing. You will quickly learn that your regular bras won’t work for getting your baby to your boob in a timely manner, especially while nursing outside of the house. It is so easy to fall behind on your water intake so keeping a good water bottle close by throughout the day is necessary for nursing moms.

I’ve wasted a lot of money on products that promise “frizz free” results After years of throwing away products and putting heat on my hair so I wouldn’t have to deal with the frizz, I’ve finally found what works for my 3B curls. As I mentioned before, these products work great for my 3B curls Curly hair definitely has a mind of its own but these hair products have helped me so much and my curls have come a long way.

So when my youngest was born and I once again had a baby sleeping in my bed, I started looking for ways to make her transition into her own bed go much smoother than her sister’s. If you haven’t heard of it before, a DockATot is a multifunctional baby lounger. If you co-sleep, you’ll find that it allows your baby to feel almost like they are being cuddled in your arms and it helps them stay asleep longer. If you’re not a fan of co-sleeping you can still use the DockATot during the day for your baby to lounge and relax in and you can even use it to facilitate tummy time.
