The One Thing You Need to Buy for Yourself (Not the Baby)
We spend 9 months buying gear for the baby. We buy swaddles , swings, and strollers. But we usually forget to buy anything for the person doing the hard work: You. The hospital will give you a " Peri Bottle " (a plastic squirt bottle) to help you clean yourself after birth. It is terrible. It requires you to be a gymnast to aim it correctly, and when you are sore and recovering, gymnastics is the last thing you want to do. The Upgrade: The Angled Bottle The Frida Mom " Upside Down " Peri Bottle is a genius invention. The Design: It has a crooked neck (like a duck). The Benefit: You just hold it upside down and squeeze. It aims perfectly where you need it without you having to twist or bend. It costs less than a lunch, but ask any mom who has used one: they would have paid $100 for it. Put it in your hospital bag today .
