hey everybody welcome back to my channel today I'm going to share with you guys
what are my summer essentials for toddlers and babies so it is summertime
here in Southern California and it is hot we are out at the beach at the pool
all different types of summer activities and so I thought I'd share with you guys
what are my go-to things must-haves for summertime for my little ones pertaining
to more water type activities so the first off is sunscreen now I didn't grab
the sunscreen to show you guys but I will insert pictures on the sunscreen
that we use I love baby ganic sunscreen now kind of smells a little bit like bug
spray I've been told by other people and once you're told that then you smell
they're like yeah kind of but it works I have very sensitive skin kids so baby
ganic works perfect I have the spray bottle and then I also have like a tube
of it and we got it when Liam was little and it still works great it is like
50-plus I believe SPF and it does amazing it does not make them break out
I can now use something a little bit different on them but when he's the baby
I had to use this otherwise he broke out so another one that I use is kind of
just a generic one and it's the spray 50 plus for kids now my husband uses it
because he has to have a really high SPF sunscreen as well I have a bunch of
gingers in my life so they are all head to toe sick babies sponge green and I
found that the spray works really well for when they're more active when
they're baby you can actually like rub the lotion on them but then the spray
for when they're a little bit more active and my boys are fine with getting
sunscreen on because I've been doing it since day one they have needed it so I
really recommend finding a sunscreen that works really well for your kids
skin and the baby Ganic is awesome I'm not sponsored by them so you don't have
to worry that I'm just a real mom who is sharing
what works for our family the next thing is when you're up in the pool you're
going to need the towel now I found that getting a towel for my son has
characters on it or something that he really enjoyed he just fell in love with
it so we have like a paw patrol one we have a monkey one and he just loved
using his towel another thing that I thought was a little bit silly but now I
love it is this it is a towel robe my mom got it for him and I thought that's
a little silly but this worked perfect especially after like swim lessons I
could put him in this he could be warm and I could just just put this on him
and I don't have to sit there and rub him so if I'm wet too and I need sure
myself off I throw this robe onto him and he is getting dry while I'm getting
dry so I'll put it on him and I'll sit him there and he's getting dry and he's
warm because it has a hood this one doesn't fit him anymore this will be for
Nolan and I'm gonna have to get him a different one but he loves it and it
works perfectly next our swim outfit so I put my boys in boy boy short little
bit I put my boys in board shorts and then have a rash guard t-shirt I swear
by these dress rash guard t-shirts not for the rash C's or originally surfers
wore them and it helped them from not getting a rush by being on the surfboard
I believe is what this how this started but it helps protect their skin from the
Sun so like I said I have very sensitive skin kids and they get burnt so easily
with their skin tone these are amazing they're just lightweight you can either
get the short sleeve this is Liam I use it for both me and and Nolan you get the
short sleeve one or you can get the long sleeve one so it's perfect for long
sleeves for Nolan because he is so little and then short sleeves brilliant
because his arms have been in the Sun enough that they just with sunscreen
they're usually fine they're lightweight they come in so many different colors we
get our usually from Target or Walmart I believe this one is from Walmart so P
you can get that from actual surf shop but you don't need to spend a lot of
money on them they're just little kids and they're probably going to ruin them
or grow out of them super quick but I highly recommend they have them for
girls too not just boys and they just protect their skins in the Sun and you
don't have to slather on so much sunscreen another thing I guess that is
board shirt obviously if it was a little girl she probably being a little is too
bikini or one-piece but I have boys so just board shorts basic four charts
do the other ones they got for fourth of July the matching one and they have so
many different kinds so many different you'll find them everywhere and it's
just simple board shorts so the combo they're usually really
protected except for their arms face and legs another thing I would suggest is a
hat now my kids don't like to keep them on but we try our hardest and that is
more of a bucket hat when they're little and then like a baseball cap when they
get a little bit older but the bucket hats with the babies are awesome the
some come with a little strap some don't my voice has never liked a strap so they
just square the bucket hat if they will keep it on
they make water hat those are perfect for if you can keep it on their head and
there's jumping in and out of the water I highly recommend getting one of those
like I said my kids don't really keep them on but we try our best the next
thing is swimming diapers if your kid is not potty trained you will need swimmy
diapers or wet side dress however you want to whatever you want to call them
these ones are the Pampers splashers we have had Huggies and pampers we also
have the reusable ones but I find that they don't always do that hold
everything and if need be but so disease and so we have them
I just I'm kind of tempted to not put them on them because then I have to
clean that off but certain places require either the reusable ones or
rubber pants so it's good to just have it if you need it and then you can just
reuse this but these work just as well and you can get them from any store that
sells diapers they have swimmy diapers as well so if you haven't seen them
they're kind of like a lightweight diaper
obviously they don't hold the pee in the cuz their water diaper so water's gonna
be coming in and out but it definitely holds the poop William put these to the
test every time so he knows little and so you just pull this tab on the side in
the rip off so they're not obviously not reusable they are disposable but they
work awesome so I highly recommend getting these disposable ones and then
also having the reusable one just in case say you run out of these you have
that one to fall back on next up life's car life jackets or swimming arm this is
the combo puddle jumper I love this thing this is Liam new one
he had one that was from 30 pounds to something he used it way before he was
thirty pounds and I'll probably put it Nolan in it soon because you just cinch
up the box but this goes I just move up the front so their little body goes in
it like this their arms go through this and they cannot they don't fall forward
they sit there perfectly they look like a little buoy sitting there so like the
water wings used to go on our arms you could still like get your whole body in
there a lifejacket I always remember choking me this
doesn't just sits right across their chest and their arms and they can still
move Liam gets out of the pool jumps in to the pool goes crazy with this thing I
highly highly recommend kitten one of these now I don't believe these are safe
for boat use you do need the regular jacket I believe but like don't quote me
on that but yes puddle numbers um I got this I think it target they have my
Costco I have my target they have a Walmart and they have different brands
you don't have to get puddle jumper you they have some that has like a mesh
thing more like a life jacket and then they have this so so many different
brands but I highly highly recommend getting a puddle jumper for your toddler
for baby and toddler so that they don't know how to swim
right even if they can swim this helps sense that they don't have to struggle
you don't have to worry about them and the little clasp in the back does not
come undone and they can't get to it so this is awesome love love love this
staffed final product is for babies this is for babies who can sit up by
themselves it does have a feature where you can kind of like lay them in there
and this is of course the picture is not on here have it in its carrying case
this so it is a little pool float I guess you can call it but it has a shade
it blows up so it's super easy but then it also when it is completely deflated I
was lazy and didn't completely deflate mine it goes into a carrying bag so when
you're going to the beach for the pool or anywhere and you want a pool float I
highly recommend this one because it folds up goes back into the bag and it
can be stored away and it is super cute I got this one on Amazon they have every
kind of brand you can get them at Target you can get them at Walmart you can get
them anywhere that they probably sell any cool stuff because that is mostly
for the pool we haven't used it at the beach but yeah it's awesome he loves it
he will sit in it he can splash it has mesh where the water can come up to him
but he doesn't completely fall into the water his little legs can dangle in the
pool and he just looks so darn cute in it my sister had one so then when I
didn't have one for Liam for some reason but Nolan we got one and he just loved
it so I hope you guys enjoyed this a quick look at my summer must-haves if
