Baby items I recommend as a first time mom figuring it out
16
items As a first time mom I was SO overwhelmed learning about what baby products I needed and which were the best. I watched COUNTLESS hours or TikToks and Read SO many articles. Here's what I found.
If you’re a first time mom like me… you are anxious. You just are lol. Give yourself the ability to sleep eventually knowing the sock and camera are watching over your baby while you close your eyes. Yes, I’ve been told you may get false alarms from ...> no alarm when you needed it. I highly recommend trying this set out and it’s something in my research I found recommended again and again!
Owlet Dream Duo (Gen 2) - Smart Baby Monitor Bundle with Sock & Cam 2 HD Wifi Video - Bedtime Blue
I cannot stand when a try me box has 0-1 good options and then a bunch of cheap crap you don’t really wanna try anyway… this is NOT that. And that’s why I LOVE it. The Halo sleep sack and love to dream sleep sack were both TOP of my list to try after...
Babylist Swaddle Box | Babylist Shop
These were one of 3-4 wearable pumps I was hearing again and again in articles and testimonials from moms. After all my research I decided to go for it and so far I’m pretty pleased with them. If you’re looking for hours of research compacted into on...
eufy S1 Wearable Breast Pump | Babylist Shop
In all my FTM research the only hand pumps I really heard or read about consistently were this pump and the Haakaa pump. This one just seemed more approachable to me and so far I think I definitely made the right choice. I did end up getting a smalle...
Medela Harmony Manual Breast Pump with PersonalFit Flex Breast Shield
Something I had never even thought about but overwhelmingly heard again and again from TikTok moms was that you would need an egg light or some sort of portable dimmable light. Why? Late Night diaper changes, getting up for feeds, etc. and honestly t...
VAVA Baby Night Light, Dimmable, 8 Colors
Another item I was so shocked to hear about because I never would have thought about it… a “floor chair” as the TikTok moms called it. Why? Because we’re moms and our bodies have been through the ringer and sitting on the floor with our babies is not...
Yaheetech Floor Folding Padded Lounge Chair with 14 Adjustable Positions,Black - Walmart.com
Every drop of your milk is gold, rather than leaking into a nursing pad catch your leak and let down and save it for your baby with this milk collector. You can get several ounces when every ounce counts.

Keep the mess seperate from all your things when you’re on the go! Baby messes always happen at the worst times, this can save you from a complete meltdown.
Parker Baby Co. Birch Wet Dry Bag
One thing I heard again and again was that having a bottle washer saves your sanity. As someone who boiled my pump parts in a pot prior to first use …. You need this, I couldn’t even get myself to do the bottles I saved those for when I got my bottle...
Momcozy KleanPal Pro Baby Bottle Washer and Sterilizer - White | Babylist Shop
Love this changing pad for two reasons (and you will too): 1. It’s wipable and easy to clean. And 2. It doubles as a scale — which when you’re first getting home and anxious about baby eating and getting back to birth weight … this can be so helpful.
Hatch Grow Smart Changing Pad and Scale - Grey | Babylist Shop
It seemed like in all my research the holy grail bouncers (one of the best and only places to put your baby down and free up your hands for a while) was between this and the baby bjorn. I personally opted for this as the “dupe” as it’s a little cheap...
Baby Delight Aura Deluxe Portable Rocker & Bouncer - Quilted Charcoal Tweed | Babylist Shop
How many items do you know that can have a 5 star review with over 500 reviews on it on any platform … here it is. It seemed like in all my research the holy grail bouncers (one of the best and only places to put your baby down and free up your hands...
BabyBjörn Bouncer Bliss - Charcoal 3 D Jersey/Dark Gray Frame | Babylist Shop
Every mom needs a pack and play. Period. Some more than others, I know I would literally not be able to survive without mine, as someone with two dogs I was a complete nervous wreck about where I could possibly put my baby down for a second without w...
Graco Pack 'n Play CareSuite Bassinet Lux Playard - Sky | Babylist Shop
Pacifiers that pass the triangle test as stated by several lactation consultants I used in my research. Every mom needs to know about the triangle test (in particular if you plan to breastfeed at all) and so many forget that the triangle test is not ...
Dr. Brown's HappyPaci 100% Silicone Baby Pacifier, One-Piece, White/Blue/Light Blue, 0-6m, 3 Pack
One of the more overlooked items, imo. You need a lot of little equipment for baby’s room / your room while baby is sleeping with you. An air purifier is the must and I highly recommend this one! Especially if you have pets this is necessary for baby...
Crane Standard True HEPA Tower Air Purifier - White | Babylist Shop
Another overlooked thing when you’re planning for your first baby — a tracker. It’s important to track feeds, sleep, diapers, etc because these are all things you’re going to need to report to your pediatrician. And also when you’re sleep deprived yo...
