newborn favorites
These are a few of our favorites through the newborn stage. Most we still use today.
1. The bassinet. We went with this one because we could move it around the house. It was amazing, especially since I did end up with an unplanned c section. My baby also loved it and was sleeping through the night pretty early on. You can’t beat the price either.
2. Muslin swaddles. We loved using these because she doesn’t get too hot with them. She’s a summer baby so they worked great for swaddling during the summer.
3. Muslin burp cloths. These are still a favorite compared to other material burp clothes.
4. The hatch. We use this every single night.
5. Hatch on the go. This is great for car rides or staying somewhere other than home.
6. Angelcare bath tub. This was the perfect size for our tub and she loves being able to splash in it now.
7. Oxo tot wipe dispenser. This works amazing for only getting one wipe out at a time.
8. Fisher price portable bassinet. We took this on a trip with us and when we would go places for extended period of time. It’s so convenient.
9. Baby Einstein tummy time mat. We still use this almost everyday. She loves kicking the piano and using it to practice sitting up as well.
10. The Owlet (not pictured). We didn’t buy this till she was three months old and I wish I would have bought it as soon as we were home. It has helped me so much with nighttime anxiety.

When navigating the newborn stage, selecting quality essentials can significantly enhance both the baby's comfort and the parent's peace of mind. One of the top items parents swear by is the bassinet, especially portable options that allow for easy relocation around the house. Many parents who experience a cesarean delivery find it invaluable. Besides, muslin swaddles and burp cloths remain favorites due to their breathability and softness, ensuring your little one stays cozy without overheating during the summer months. For nighttime routines, products like the Hatch sound machine are game changers, providing soothing sounds that help babies sleep better, while the portable versions are perfect for travel. Bath time can be a joy with the Angelcare bath tub, designed specifically for infants, allowing them to splash and play securely. Managing messes is easy with the Oxo Tot wipe dispenser, which dispenses wipes one at a time to minimize waste. Additionally, tummy time mats like Baby Einstein's not only encourage physical development but also keep babies entertained. For parents looking for peace of mind during sleep, newborn monitors such as the Owlet can track vital signs, providing an extra layer of reassurance at night. Integrating these essentials into your daily routine can foster a more enjoyable and less stressful parenting experience.
