Having a new baby can be challenging. When I was pregnant with Little E I thought I was ready. I had read the books, checked out the websites, and felt that I was ready for whatever this baby threw my way. I was sure wrong!
Sleep (or lack thereof) was one of the hardest things for me to adjust to. Those first few weeks were the worst. To make it even harder, since Little E was born a week before Christmas not only were we dealing with the challenges of bringing home a new baby, but we were also contending with the chaos of the holidays.
Mike and I took turns getting up with Little E, but were finding that we couldn’t even keep track of how many times we were getting up each night. The night just seemed like a blur of the baby crying, getting up, making a bottle, and feeding him. Things were so chaotic that we kept a notebook beside the refrigerator where we would mark down when Little E woke up and how much he ate. Yes, it was that chaotic.
Having a baby is hard, and there are struggles that are unavoidable. However, this doesn’t mean that you can’t take advantage of products designed to make your life easier. One of these products is the Gerber BabyNes advanced nutrition system.
As my grandfather would say, “This machine is really slick.” The BabyNes machine makes the perfect bottle in less than a minute. Although it might look like a Keurig for babies, it is actually much more.
The BabyNes machine features built-in Wi-Fi so it can communicate with as well as send information and alerts to your online BabyNes dashboard. On this dashboard you can get feeding alerts; view and track your baby’s nutrition and growth; receive personalized nutritional advice; place capsule orders or set up auto-replenishment on your computer, tablet or smartphone.
Additionally, just as the fat, protein, and calorie content of breastmilk changes as your baby ages, Gerber has developed six stages of formula for the BabyNes system, including toddler formula up to 36 months of age. This means that even at 20 months Baby R is still well within the age range for the formulas.
Although it looks complex, the BabyNes machine is really easy to use. Place a bottle or sippy cup under the adjustable nozzle in the front. Pop in the formula capsule, press the button, and in less than a minute you have the perfect bottle!
The BabyNes is the perfect gift to give to a friend of relative who might be expecting. I just wish this machine existed for all of those long nights with Little E.
