Parenthood is a dirty adventure and for those who have a thin constitution it may feel like navigating a minefield from possible “IKK” moments. While I’m not generally squeamish (I could share some really revolutionary stories from my first days of parents – 9 times out of 10 that includes poop), and even occasionally I encountered something that would lead me perfectly.
Whether it was an inaccessible booger on my child’s nose or a stranger with a cold wound to reach my newborn in the grocery store, the parent “IKK” factor became a stable companion.
Don’t be afraid, Squeamish parents – this guide is your salvation to stay clean, healthy and somewhat compose during the gorgeous chaos of lifting a baby.

Unfortunately, babies are not born with the magical ability to blow their noses. For parents who get queasy in the thought of manual cleaning of the nose, Naväge Baby’s nasal suckler is nothing less than a miracle. A certified by the Board of Directors designed it and recognizing that babies are not exactly his followers to clean their noses, the aspirator comes with lights and relaxing music to keep your little calm and fragmented during the process. I love this thing. You can find it on the Naväge website, Walmart and Amazon.

This miracle containing odors has a hands -free foot pedal so you can easily reject diapers without weighing a baby. It has up to 47 newborn diapers, so you will not constantly empty it, and the sphincter wandering of odor keeps unpleasant smells contained. The built -in easy to refill with tear gas bags makes the mood extremely simple. You can find it here.

This smart diaper cream apps evenly distribute the ointment to your baby’s sensitive skin without the usual chaos. Made of soft, flexible silicone without BPA, it simply allows you to lift the cream, gently apply it and stand upright on any flat surface using the suction cup base-there are no other fingers covered by cream or tops. You can find them here.
4. Dermafrida the flakefixer
I wasn’t so much blocked by Cradle Cap as I was a driver of the desire to get this horrible scuzz from my baby’s perfect head. This specialized tool helps you deal with these situations accurately and minimal rubbing. The satisfaction of the soft monkey monkey cannot be underestimated. You can find it here.

These are the lifesavers when you face one of these Hazmat level bursts and you have to fly as much as possible. While many have plastic supports, I prefer biodegradable options-you get to work quickly in these situations with minimal risk of risk. After all, it’s not the mistake of the planet that your baby was not ready for carrots. You can find them here.
6. Pregnant chicken “don’t touch” the baby sign
These durable signs maintain excessive strangers in the vagina and reduce the risk of unwanted germs (while at the same time reducing the possibility of being arrested for the destruction of an elderly lady in the mall). Available in a variety of funny but fixed phrases, they are easily connected to car seats, trolleys, wagons and carriers. Event: Once I had someone ordering one for the old trolley of his dog, I could mention so many levels. You can shop in my store and In Etsy.
7. Bathless games without mold
Nothing destroys the bathroom as if you were seeing your baby sucking a toy to discover that it is full of this slimy, black mud that somehow grows in all of it. These innovative games prevent water from being trapped in, keeping them without mold. You can find them here. We have a whole list of other mold -free bath options in another post if you are interested.

I always joke that my children were like members of the tuna in the Regency era because they changed clothes so often. When children start eating solids, I swear that only 16% do it in their mouths – I still tremble in the amount of puree from garbage I would find a sleeve on any given day. These bibs do a nice job to keep the clothes clean so you can mainly deal with “heads and hands”. You can find them here.
9. Bumkins Baby Splat mat
These carpets are ideal for the capture of leakage and manage the “cause and effect” stage when babies discover the joy of falling food on the floor. You can simply remove them and shake them out or throw them into washing, preventing cementitious cereals on your floor or carpet. You can find them here.
Note: If you have a dog with a food motivation, you can skip it-they make their best life during this stage of falling food and I refuse to intervene in it.

Whether during the diaper changes, breeding time or meal, these waterproof mats are soft on both sides and create an impenetrable barrier between your surfaces and the chaos of life – think of the craft mattress over a tarp and this looks more like a blanket. Although not cheap, these washed, reusable mats last far beyond the baby’s years and will serve you through bed, sofa, date bed and all the general years to come. You can find them here.
11. Bags of microwave steam sterilizer
These smart bags convert your microwave to a shoot destruction machine. Simply add water, place the bottles, pacifiers or breast parts in and zap for a quick, thorough sterilization. Each bag can be used many times, making it both convenient and costly to maintain baby objects. You can find them here.
12. Frida Baby 3-in-1 nose, nails + ears Picker
This multipurpose tool helps you deal with these small angles and crackers that you can’t (or should not) get with your fingers. You have never met the rush that comes from the export of a giant booger from your child’s nose so they can breathe more easily – so you don’t have to continue looking at this “bat in the cave” that remains just far away. You can find them here.
