I want to share my experience for mommies whose babies are 1-8 months old and are in a nuclear set up.
Baby Rocker!
I used a rocker for my baby from 1st month and it was like my partner the whole time.
-It was light weight can be carried easily from one room to the other, I used to keep it just outside the bathroom while taking a bath, keep it near the dining while having food or outside the kitchen while preparing food.
-very useful to make baby sleep after every feed, it had the vibrator which gave the calming effect, I used to rock it for 1-2 min and baby will go into deep sleep. also safer then making baby sleep in bed and making boundaries with pillow.
-From 3rd month my baby started responding to the hanging toys, he would try to hold them and bring to his mouth, it used to keep him busy for long.
-I carried it everywhere with me, be it restaurants, or vacation spots like beaches or waterfalls, it was a life saver.
Sharing few pics in the comments.
Hopefully this will help u in deciding which baby gear to invest money into.
PS- there are many good baby rockers available in market. u can check for features before buying.
