1. Too Many Options When Making a Registry
Creating a baby registry sounds fun at first, but it can quickly spiral into an anxiety-inducing task. Walk into any baby store or browse online, and you’ll be bombarded with endless options for strollers, car seats, bottles, and more. Each product has reviews, features, and price points that can leave you feeling paralyzed.
While there’s many products I can’t recommend there’s one that I can with absolute certainty and it’s the Ingy Bingy Band. Babies use nonnutritive sucking to self-soothe. Whether that’s with their hands, their mamas breast, or a pacifier is up to them and you! However, the pacifier can only help self-soothe for so long when the pacifier keeps falling out.
That’s why the Ingy Bingy Band exists. No matter which infant pacifier or newborn pacifier you choose the Ingy Bingy Band has two models so any newborn pacifier will attach to it! The Ingy Bingy Band is a pacifier wristband velcros around baby’s wrist and turns any pacifier into a pacifier wristband, helping them self-soothe from as early as 4 months. This pacifier bracelet saves you time and frustration because, whichever pacifier your breastfed baby loves, your baby will always have access to it on their own. You’ll never have to worry about finding that sacred sanity saver ever again if that infant pacifier keeps falling out!
2. Lack of Sleep
There’s no way around it: sleep deprivation is one of the hardest parts of being a new mom. Between night feedings, diaper changes, and a baby who doesn’t yet know the difference between night and day, it’s easy to feel like you’re running on empty. Sleep deprivation impacts everything from your mood to your ability to make decisions, compounding feelings of overwhelm. As someone who is on the other side of the newborn days, I can say that it is just a season. You will survive it!
3. Societal Pressure to "Do It All"
New moms often feel immense pressure to be perfect. Social media doesn’t help, with curated feeds showcasing moms who seem to have it all together—spotless homes, thriving careers, and perfectly behaved babies. The expectation to juggle everything can make even small tasks feel monumental, but let’s be honest, Instagram is a highlight reel. It isn’t reality and we need to remember that! Comparison is the stealer of joy. Don’t let the joy of motherhood be stolen by your comparison to others!
4. Constant Advice—Wanted and Unwanted
From the moment you announce your pregnancy, everyone seems to have an opinion. Family members, friends, and even strangers at the grocery store offer advice—often conflicting. While some advice is helpful, it can be overwhelming to navigate so many voices telling you what you “should” do. The truth is, you are the mom. You know your baby best and you should follow your gut. Regardless of what your mom, best friend, or the internet is telling you to do, go with your instincts, because chances are you’re right!
The Ingy Bingy Band is not your everyday pacifier clip! This game-changing pacifier wristband helps babies self-soothe at a younger age than ever before! Instinctively, babies gnaw on their hands in an attempt to soothe. The Ingy Bingy pacifier wristband keeps their pacifier right where they’ll find it, allowing your baby to comfort and calm themselves while you do whatever it is you need to do!
