absolutely loved these. so soft, high quality & organic cotton. i didn’t like the idea of my newborn wearing synthetic materials. we got the lavender 3 pack🪻
Touched by Nature Baby Organic Cotton Bodysuits
super soft. again, the organic cotton was a big priority for me. i honestly used these as hand mittens a few times too.
Touched by Nature Unisex Baby Organic Cotton Socks
so soft. loved all the earth tones. these fit my baby for awhile & she’s got a big head. super stretchy.
Konssy 8 Pack Baby Knot Beanie Hats 0-6M
so many cute sets. zip up onesies are an absolute must. super soft. and a great deal for organic cotton.
Touched by Nature Baby Girls' Organic Sleep
loved that these have the fold over cuff so baby doesn’t have to wear mittens. super soft.
O2 BABY Organic Cotton Zip-Front Pajamas
these right here🤌🏼🤌🏼 this is what helped my baby sleep for 4-5 hours straight in the first half of the night within 2 months of being born? she loved the feeling of security in these & it stopped her startle reflex that would often wake her u...
Comfy Cubs 3 Pack Swaddle Blanket Set
toys/development
super important for baby’s development. i would practice her visual tracking with this. she loved to stare at this & the fan all the time..
High Contrast Newborn Toy 0-3 Months
I wish I had more videos of my daughter with these. She was obsessed. It got her more aware of all her limbs and what the action of her movements would do. 10/10 recommend
Baby Wrist Rattle Socks and Foot Finder Set
feeding
these are great for burp cloths, and i also doubled down and used them in the bath for washing baby because the material is so nice & soft.
Yoofoss Muslin Burp Cloths for Baby—10 Pack
major staple for breast or bottle feeds. especially just after giving birth, this really helps alleviate extra stress on the back. fits really comfy around the waist.
Boppy Nursing Pillow with Removable Cover
BPA FREEEE!! i exclusively breastfeed & have used this a handful of times when I had a lot of milk or to catch letdown on the other side while I was feeding. this one is the best pump IMO because of the quality of the product & also how effec...
haakaa Manual Breast Pump & Ladybug Collector
okay so I’ve only pumped and bottle fed my baby twice. but of course I researched every bottle on the market like a psychopath, and this one seemed to be THE ONE across the board from moms and professionals. My baby took to it immediately, had no iss...
Dr. Brown's Anti-Colic Options+ Baby Bottle 4oz
diapers
i researched every single diaper company bc i was really stuck on having the highest quality. this is the ONLY diaper we have ever used. i am signed up for auto renewal so I never have to worry about running out. seriously can’t emphasize these diape...
Coterie Diapers |
there’s literally no reason why a baby wipe should have a bunch of chemicals in it. their skin is so sensitive. i’ve gone back and forth between these and the coterie brand wipes and have never had an issue and my baby’s bum has also never gotten a r...
WaterWipes 99.9% Water Wipes, 60 Count, 12 Pack
okay so i didn’t start using this until like 4 months bc i would just throw away the diaper in whatever room i was in. but once you start introducing foods and the poop gets that special smell, you’ll definitely want this. there’s a reason they are t...
Diaper Genie Complete Pail with Odor Control
other
i use this ALL THE TIME. as much as I’d love to use the Ergo we’ve got, my baby just doesn’t like it as much as the fabric wrap. we do everything in this thing.
Baby Wrap Carrier - Cotton Sling for Newborns
this seriously took away my stress over baby boogers. super easy to clean out, comes with replaceable filters.. gets the job done every time.
Frida Baby Nasal Aspirator for Baby
this wasn’t my preferred method for swaddling, although I did do it a few times. But I loved having these as a nice thin blanket layer.
4-Pack Muslin Swaddle Blankets - Organic
i really wish I would’ve known about this sooner. I just did my daughters’ the other day and they came out great. nobody wants to deal with the ink mess
Inkless Baby Hand & Footprint Kit
bath time
first off, look how stinking cute. my baby girl loves these towels. so cute, they dry quick, and the elephant head makes it that much better.
Ultra Soft Organic Baby Bath Towel - Hypoallergenic
trust me, bamboo vs cotton makes suuuuch a difference. it’s so gentle and soft on your newborn’s fresh skin.
6-Pack Soft Viscose from Bamboo Washcloth
super helpful for managing cradle cap, and also stimulating the scalp to get hair growing.
Exfoliating Baby Cradle Cap Bath Brushes
for making sure it’s not too hot for our little angels. also, the duck with goggles is way cool IMO😆
Baby Bath Thermometer
So honestly I didn’t use soap on my baby for the longest time because I didn’t feel it was necessary at all. But this is the only soap I’ll use on her now. No fake perfumes, chemicals, things you can’t pronounce. I love Dr. Bronner’s🙏🏼
