Sleeping
This one is great because you can see through the netting as well as bring the side down to co- sleep if you choose. On top of that you also get the storage underneath for all the overnight essentials you need.
Bassinets & Cribs - Baby Nursery Beds
These are great as you can use them as a swaddle or as a cover for breastfeeding and to cover the sun in the pram.
These are great for your baby if they don’t like to have their arms trapped in the swaddle.
SleepSack® Wearable Blankets - Halo Sleep
This one is great for your room so you can have both the white noise and an alarm clock.
White Noise Machine Alarm Clock, 18 Sounds, Portable
These are great for giving you peace of mind when your baby is in another room to you and allows you to do things around the house or for yourself while they sleep without having to check up on them personally.

Feeding
These are great if you want to have cuter burp cloths but they are also long enough that they collect everything needed.

These ones are great for all messes and they last forever I still have mine from when my 5 year old was born

Having the hands free one makes things a lot easier because you can hold your baby without getting tangles and your able to do your daily things without been stuck on a chair.
Paruu P16 Hands Free Wearable Breast Pump, Electric Portable, 4 Modes 12 Levels, 309mmHg Suction, 19/21/24mm Flange, 2 Pack, Nude
This is great especially if you have a lot of let down. When I would use this I’d get about 60mls sometimes just from having it on the other side to which I was feeding.
Haakaa Manual Breast Pump with Grey Gap, Breastmilk Collector Breastfeeding Pump (4oz/100ml)
It’s always a good idea to have a bit of a freezer stash for times you are away from your baby or you’re not able to feed them or even for milk baths.
Lansinoh Breastmilk Storage Bags, 100 Count
These ones are great for breastfed babies as well. I would recommend bottle feeding from the start at least once a day or once every two days it helped with both my kids to transition them off breastfeeding.
