Colette INSISTED that I add this 4Moms Momaroo 4 to the Monday Memo, and given my level of sleep deprivation, I’m just not in a position to argue. She simply adores this baby swing from the future, and her father and I might just be dead without it. This isn’t any old back and forth nonsense. There are five different settings on the Momaroo 4 that lull tiny ones into trance-like tranquility. The motions gently bounce and sway your baby similarly to how you would when you hold or rock them. It also has five different sound settings providing a plethora of white noise options along with the ability to connect your phone to play your own sounds or music. Better yet, you can control the swing from an app on your phone, so changing the motions, speed, sound or volume can be done from across the room when you’re trying to work, cook, or catch up on Netflix. Is this swing smarter than parents? Perhaps. Will you care? Doubtful.
Momaroo 4 Baby Swing
As a new mom, one of the most surprising things, apart from being in charge of an actual human being, is the endless list of stuff that goes along with the whole raising of a person thing. I know I’m not the only one eager to cut through the noise and just get to the essentials—the really effective, incredibly useful and helpful items that are making this new mom thing a breeze. Okay maybe not a breeze, but certainly far more manageable.
Below, six essential items I sourced at buybuy BABY, which has rapidly become my go-to destination (online AND in real life!) for baby items. Everything about this experience is new, so the fact that I can find essentially everything I need in one place, with the confidence of expert help when I need it, is huge. After three weeks of this whole “mom” thing, I’ve learned (with the enormously helpful advice of Christopher at my local buybuy BABY) that there are six baby items I absolutely refuse to live without. I’m sure there will be more, but right now I’m taking things one nap at a time.
