Baby Must Haves

items I *try* to be minimalistic, especially when it comes to baby items! They truly don’t need much, but this is a list of things I simple could not have survived without 😊
SO worth the splurge! It’s incredibly lightweight, holds a ton of stuff, comes with a changing pad, and everything is easy to wipe down! I tried several backpack style diaper bags and this far exceeds them all.
New Parent Backpack 17L | Men's Bags,Purses,Wallets
Hands down our most used product. Every nap and bedtime, our Hatch sound machines are on. The white noise is so soothing, and you can set “ok to wake” features for older kiddos so they know when it’s ok to get out of bed in the morning!
Hatch Rest 2nd Gen All-in-one Sleep Machine, Nightlight & Sound Machine
Our boys lived in this as newborns! So soothing and easy to keep an eye on them when we were on the couch/cooking dinner, etc.
Ingenuity InLighten Soothing Swing - Van the Elephant
A must have. Pro tip: buy a lot because your baby WILL have a blowout and you don’t want to run out of these haha!
SwaddleMe by Ingenuity Monogram Collection Swaddle Wrap, for Ages 0-3 Months - Born Free - 3pk
For when your baby starts to roll and can no longer be swaddled! We are die hard Kyte Baby sleep bag fans. They’re super soft and last forever! And come in so many adorable colors and prints
Sleep Bag in Oat 1.0
This actually buckles around your waist and is super sturdy! I never liked using the Boppy, it just didn’t support my babies at all. I could even walk around while nursing with this on!
My Brest Friend Deluxe Nursing Pillow - Evening Gray
Suction this to the side you aren’t feeding on to catch your letdown!
haakaa Breast Pump with Suction Base and White Flower Stopper - 4oz
These are so comfy. I absolutely hated the disposable breast pads. These also work as a burp rag in a pinch 🤣
KeaBabies 14pk Washable Nursing Pads, Organic Reusable Breast Pads for Breastfeeding, Nipple Pads,Breastfeeding Essentials(Pastel Touch, X-Large 5.5")
Not glamorous but so necessary. No it isn’t gross haha
Frida Baby NoseFrida Nasal Aspirator
Baby nails are so flimsy! It’s impossible to but them with clippers, but they grow so fast and they’ll scratch themselves. This is so quick and easy!
Little Martin's Baby Electric Nail Trimmer with Light (Blue)
This course saved our lives. Cara is a sleep wizard! I recommend this to everyone having a baby
Taking Cara Babies
Similar to the swing, this was a lifesaver for us. Super lightweight and portable! We called this the poop chair because our second son would have a blowout within minutes of putting him down in this without fail
