Resource Round Up with Paige Gesell
Through trial + error, dishing with other parents and scouring the internet, we all eventually figure out what works best for us. We curate a resource list of trusty go-to’s that help lead us through parenthood... then what?
One of our goals at Forty Wink is to share this priceless knowledge with others. Today we’re lucky to be joined by Paige Gesell as she takes us through what some of her favourite 5 month resources were for her daughter Maeve!

Resource No. 1: @the.peaceful.sleeper
Chrissy is personable and real, and was great to look to for advice on sleep training.

Resource No. 2: Lou Lou Lollipop Teething Rings
Prevents many a break-down mid diaper change. The silicone and wood mix give baby great textures to chew on.

Resource No. 3: Wee Gallery
Black and white high contrast toys that are age appropriate (and coordinate with my decor).

Resource No. 4: Kickee Pants Sleepers
Lightweight sleepers that actually fit and are super cute. My kid has very long legs so most regular sleepers end up being a bit short. These are bamboo I think and crazy soft.
