I went through the newborn phase 3 times now and I used all these things religiously for all of them.
All three of my babies used these until they outgrew all sizes, you can even use with arms in or out depending on what they prefer
Sleepsack® Wearable Blankets - Halo
The only one that worked for my babies with sensitive skin

Follow directions, a great trick with this is dipping the pacifier in it for a quick soothe
Gripe water
It gets the job done

Most babies love to be swaddled and these are soft, stretchy and cozy. Even if they don’t like being swaddled it’s also great for a nursing cover, car seat cover or just to keep them warm.
Solly Baby Swaddle Collection, How to Swaddle a Baby
So helpful once I figured out how to use it, soft and cozy as well and not bulky like some carriers
The Wrap Tutorial - Solly Baby
This wrap was the first and only one I ever used. Soft, can fit all sizes of mamas and it can grow with your baby. Helped me get things done while baby was snuggled up against me.

Yes there are so many cute newborn clothes, but realistically your baby will live in sleepers!
Baby Pajamas | Carter's
I’ve tried many brands of diapers and these are what I ended up using for all 3 of my children from infancy to potty trained. They rarely leak and never caused any irritation.
Pampers - Target
I know some say these aren’t necessary, but that depends if you want rooms stinking up or making trips out to the garbage can hourly. You would be surprised how many diapers can fit in this and keeps the smell contained.
Diaper Pail - Target
This baby bath with a sling was so helpful for bathing a slippery newborn!
Infant Baby Bath Sling - Target
I always like my newborns to have fresh new bathing supplies. Regular wash cloths are just simply too big for a baby and these are made extra soft as to not be rough on their skin!
Baby Wash Cloths - Target
As I said with the washcloths I like having fresh new bathing supplies for my newborns and these are the perfect size and so soft and you definitely want the hood to help keep their head warm.

You want to easily be able to check your babies temp!
Digital Thermometer for Adults & Kids, Fast
Babies have extremely fragile and sensitive skin, you definitely want to use a gentle laundry detergent. This is all I ever use for my babies and it smells so sweet!
Dreft Newborn Baby Liquid Laundry Detergent
All you need is a wet wipe to change your baby. None of those fancy scented ones, it’s so harass on their fragile skin and can be irritating especially if they get diaper rash!
WaterWipes Plastic-Free Baby Wipes, 60 Ct
If you’re in the fence about getting a wipe warmer and think it’s not necessary, let me tell you, it is! Would you want to wake up and wipe yourself in the middle of the night with a COLD wipe, not fun.
hiccapop Baby Wipe Warmer & Dispenser
I had one of these on both floors of my home. It’s so convenient to just roll to wear you are or have by the changing table with everything you need in one place.

This was so nice for going out- to help baby nap more peacefully! Just clips right to the car seat or stroller.

You’re going to want all the options for scrubbing your bottles and their parts! You don’t want any bacteria building up.

May seem like an excess but it will save your knees for all this baths and you can be down in their level playing with them easier. Plus it has the little pouches for toys!
ILPEOD Baby Bath Kneeler & Elbow Rest Pad
All 3 of my babies had so much fun with their playmats, then this converts to a little cushion.
Blissful Diary Baby Play Gym & Activity Mat
Most babies do NOT like tummy time, but this water mat helps keep them occupied and not think about the fact they are on their tummy.
Yeeeasy Inflatable Tummy Time Water Mat
I still use this drying rack to this day with my kids who are older, it’s easy to clean and fast drying with the design.
