Baby must-haves beyond the basics

items As a first-time mom I know how crazy the planning and preparing for the baby can be. But to bring some order to the chaos, I've prepared a list of essentials I wish I had known about it sooner
THE absolute best, I don't know what would become of me without a baby carrier. Besides diapers, it's what I use the most with baby, 'cause stuff needs to get done (and the chubbiness gets heavier with time)
lillebaby Complete All Seasons 6-1 Baby Carrier - Stone | Babylist Shop
Does the same job but is soo much more travel-friendly, it takes up no space. Also easier to breastfeed in, IMO. The linen really helps it be breathable, specially if you're in a warmer climate
Kyte Baby Ring Sling - Navy Blue | Babylist Shop
For the breastfeeding moms, if you want some me time pumps are essential to keep your little one with a full belly. It's also perfect to take to work, not like the manual pumps that make it feel like your hands are gonna fall off
BabyBuddha Wearable Breast Pump | Babylist Shop
Also for pumping, what's great about this one is its gentle suction. That means you can "passively pump". And my favorite feature, you can use it to catch letdown while baby feeds on the other breast, thus saving your precious white gold

Gotta make that baby active! If it were up to them, babies would only feed and nap (me too honestly), but learning starts early and we gotta help those little brains to grow. Being on the floor really helps their development and before you know it th...

Honestly anything from Carter's, I love 'em. They have this ability to make baby clothes that will grow as the baby grows. Heck, your kids are gonna go to college still wearing their Carter's baby onesies, that's how crazy it is
Baby 5-Pack Animals Short-Sleeve Cotton Bodysuits
I must confess, I didn't know what some of those things were for when baby arrived. But as the time came to use them, I was so glad I didn't have to worry about shopping for them. Sometimes we get caught up with browsing the cute onesie or toys, but ...

OMG so many of these! Sooo many. They're useful for anything newborn related. Swaddle, yes. Burp cloths, yes. Car seat cover, yes. Wind cover, yes. Light blanket for those hot-not-so-hot days, yes. Now that my baby's a bit more grown, my mom actually...

Your actual best friend haha It'll be your faithful companion during those long sleepless nights, keeping your arms from pleading mercy and giving your back some sweet support
My Brest Friend Super Deluxe Nursing Pillow - Teddy Bear | Babylist Shop
Carter's is giving me LIFE. Zippers in baby clothes are genius. You do not want to spend precious time buttoning outfits up and down, when you could be sleeping. Every second counts. With these, two seconds and you're done, ready for the next diaper ...
Carter's 2-Way Zip Cotton Sleep & Plays (2 Pack) - Striped Elephant, 6 M | Babylist Shop
As much as I find some high chairs super cute, this one wins. It's practical, it's light, I can take it to any restaurant or relative's house. And it's safe! For those with small living spaces, it's absolutely perfect
Inglesina Fast Table Chair - Black | Babylist Shop
So incredibly helpful. You can leave it in the nursery or take it anywhere. Just pop it in your bag and you're ready for any emergency that comes your way. It made me truly feel like a mom, carrying around something useful for every occasion
