Baby Items I used as a first time mom.
As a first time mom all the choices out there can be overwhelming. This list is a compilation of all things I used and LOVED! *These links are affiliate links in which I may receive a small commission if you make a purchase.
Travel
Safety and comfort are my top priority. Comfort for my child but also myself if I am baby wearing.
The soft fabric allows you to get a comfortable wrap on baby on make them feel secure.
Great car seat with multiple options for different aged kiddos.
I used this pack when my daughter was a newborn and I still use it now that she is 2.5 years old.
This stroller is great for intown (it does fine on gravel roads too) and I love the tilt back feature for nap time.
This stroller is the ultimate stroller. It works fantastic in any terrain and it steers effortlessly. My toddler loves sitting in the front spot where feet go while hre baby cousin is strapped into the seat.
Being able to click the infant car seat right into the stroller is so convenient.
I like this stroller organizer because it is universial and fits many brands. It is compact but fits a lot of things. Fits for Stroller like Uppababy, Baby Jogger, Britax, BOB, Umbrella and Pet Stroller
Sleep
All the gadgets that helped me get more sleep as a new mom!
This mattress is perfect for a growing baby. One side is firm for babies and the other is softer for toddlers.
Monitor your baby's vitals in their sleep from your phone.
Nothing but GREAT things to say about the Snoo. I believe it saved my husband and I many hours of sleep. My daughter skipped right passed the 4 month regression thanks to the Snoo.
We used this when my daughter was a baby and still use it 2 years later.
A must have for me! My daughter loves her sleep sack still.
Love this playpen. Great for new babies and even toddlers. It grows with your little one
This is a sleep suit for the transitional period when your baby no longer can have their arms swaddled but they are not quite ready for a sleep sack.
Clothes
There are so many great brands out there for clothing, here are some of my favorite brands and items to have for your baby.
All time favorite! The fabric is soft and incredibly stretchy. These jammie's last so long. My 2 year old can still wear 12-18month sized jammie's.
Absolutely love this. I had one in every size when my daughter was little. If you live somewhere that gets cold (Its chilly year round where I live) this is a must.
I like to invest in one really good jacket for the fall/winter. These jackets always fit my daughter for a long time, so the price is worth it for me.
Great quality and great company
The best booties. They come in multiple styles and actually stay on
Health and Baby Gadgets
These baby gadget just made things easier.
Being able to check my little one's temperature without touching or waking her made this product worth it for me.
Great for a little baby and still use it on her as a toddler
This is a great option for thermometer as well
This manual snot sucker was a life saver when my baby had a cold. Helps clear the nose of snot when your baby doesn't know how to blow their nose
Items that Made Life Easier
This section is filled with items that made life a little bit easier with a baby.
The color choices and softness of the material make this baby item a win for me. My daughter always looked so cozy in this lounge.
Having an extra cover is a life saver.
Simple is sometime better
I love this one as it folds up and can be put away when not in use!
This one is fantastic. It does not bouncer but instead allows baby to stand and work on balance
This classic swing was great when baby is little. My daughter fit in it until he was about6 months old
Bathtime
Babies typically love bath time. Here is my list of essentials that made bath time a breeze.
The tub that grows with your baby. This tub is perfect for many stages
This bath tub seat suctions to the tub walls. This is perfect for when your baby outgrows their little baby tub but does not reliably sit unsupported.
My favorite feature of this bath mat is that it easily hangs from the shower head to dry after each use to avoid mold
All the scents are nice and mild.
A great fragrance free shampoo
A fun toy to add to bath time
Great for covering the spout to prevent any bonks as your baby gets older.
Perfect for wrapping your little one up after the bath.
Eating Solid Food
It is recommended to introduce solid foods around 6 months of age. I went the Baby Led Weaning approach when I introduced solids. These are products that I used and found helpful.
Great resource for learning about baby led weaning and starting solids!
Great products. This plate sticks to the counter making it harder for baby to dump everything out.
These spoons are easy for baby to hold onto for self feeding.
I did use some pureed foods when first starting. I love that this one is smaller than your typical blender because you don't typically need to make that much at a time.
