newborn essentials!⬇️

being a first time mom definitely has its struggles & knowing the right products definitely came as a struggle, whether i bought too much or too little here’s my list of must haves!🌿🌷

outfits!

my advice is to definitely avoid buttons sleepers without a double zipper, you don’t need a lot of cute outfits because more than likely baby will just need to be cozy in a sleeper! definitely buy some cute outfits for pictures & whatnot but sleepers & bamboo is my go too

items!

- frida baby bathtub instead of a newborn tub (will last way longer all the way up to a year

- philip advent bottles were our go to & still are

- pacifiers, you definitely want to buy a few different brands as you don’t know what your baby will take, our favs were mams

- bassinet, i would highly recommend any bedside bassinet as you will be up with your baby for all hours haha (we definitely struggled

- we did not like the infant carrier at all & upgraded to the evenflo revolve 360 at 2 months! we kept a stroller + bassinet combo in our car those car seats be sooo heavy lol

- a bottle of gripe water & gas drops is amazing to stock up on especially if you have a baby with colic like we did i recommend nighttime gripe water

- you don’t need a hatch sound machine anyone off amazing works amazing don’t let media persuade you too much

- snuggle me! pleaseeee buy one if your baby likes to be held this recreates that for your little one

- baby einstein aquarium is such a great toy for newborns & small babies

- fisher price piano mat is also a wonderful first activity for your babes

- swaddles i highly recommend the love to dream swaddle

- the momcozy carrier is the best one! don’t feel pressured to buy a super expensive baby carrier as you will probably only use it for a few months

- try to buy a diaper bag with an attached changing pad this will save you for car changes

- huggies everything they are so perfect huggies stan for lifeeee

- aquaphor is a life saver skip the diaper rash cream & use aquaphor will clear up overnight i swear

- last but not least a portable sound machine

if you’ve made it this far i love you thanks for the support, you are so strong, more posts coming soon stayed tuned🌞🌸

... Read moreBeing a first-time mom can be overwhelming, and knowing what essentials to buy can lead to confusion. It's important to focus on practicality and comfort for both you and your little one. Start by investing in versatile clothing items, such as zippered sleepers, to keep your newborn cozy. Consider a high-quality bathtub that can grow with your child rather than a newborn-specific tub. When choosing feeding supplies, having a variety of pacifier brands is essential; every baby has their own preferences. Make nighttime feedings manageable with a bedside bassinet, providing you with easy access during those late-night hours. For on-the-go parents, a durable diaper bag with a changing pad will save you time and hassle during outings. Don't forget to stock up on essentials like gripe water for fussiness and Aquaphor to tackle any diaper rash. Lastly, using a reliable baby carrier can provide necessary comfort for your baby while keeping your hands free. With these items, you'll be well-equipped to handle newborn challenges and create cherished memories!
