Things you can never have too much of for newborns

2025/5/31 Edited to

... Read moreWelcoming a newborn into your home can be both exciting and overwhelming. To help new parents, here’s a compiled list of essential items that promote a calm and restful environment for your baby. 1. **Swaddles**: A snug fit swaddle aids in calming the startle reflex and helps babies sleep longer. Look for options that provide a comfortable fit for newborns weighing 8-13 lbs. 2. **Baby Bassinets**: Utilize a bedside sleeper bassinette. Products like the 3 in 1 Baby Bassinet are ideal for keeping your baby close, yet safe. These portable cribs are convenient for nighttime feedings and easy to store during the day. 3. **White Noise Machines**: Sound machines are essential for drowning out background noise and creating a soothing environment. Devices like the Hatch Restore incorporate customizable settings to suit your baby's sleeping rhythm. 4. **Night Lights**: A dimmable night light can make night-time diaper changes easier without disturbing your baby’s sleep. Look for portable options that are easy to use and provide just enough light to see without waking the baby completely. 5. **Routine Builders**: Introduce a sleep trainer or time-to-rise alarm clock to establish a consistent sleep routine for your little one. These tools can guide you in creating a predictable environment, which is beneficial for infants. 6. **Ceiling Fans**: Installing a ceiling fan is a great way to maintain airflow in the nursery, helping prevent overheating and creating a comfortable atmosphere for sleep. All these items contribute to sleep training without the need for strict schedules, making your journey with your newborn a little easier.

I was curious as to how well my 6 weeks old vision is and it’s not as far as I thought! Right now he can only see about 12 inches away from his face and colors aren’t great yet. He follows light that’s further away but can’t focus on them. He crosses his eyes too when he tries to focus on thing
