Buy a few of these so that you can rotate them out if you have a long NICU stay ahead of you.
Scent Bonding - for Infants and Preemies
A cute option for coming home day!

These are perfect to lay over the mattresses in the NICU giraffe beds

ME & YOU IN THE NICU
For Mom
For me, self care is a hot shower & a comfy robe to snuggle up in. This one is soft, stretchy & checks all my boxes 😍
Women's Cloud Knit Robe - Auden™
Slip into something fuzzy and warm to make you feel comfortable after a long night (or day!) of taking care of baby ❤️
UGG Women's Cozy Slipper
I’m all about being wrapped up in a cozy, warm blanket. This one will do the trick & has 10 different heat levels.
Heated Throw Blanket
My absolute favorite post partum (and pregnancy) pajamas. They are the perfect stretchy material you need when you’re just coming home from the hospital.
Women's Relaxed Pajama Set - Admiral Blue
When you need to focus on yourself, this bundle is here to save the day, or night 💕 A weighted blanket is something that always helped me get a little extra sleep when I was a new mom.
Nodpod Bundle - Weighted Blanket & Sleep Mask
Another stretchy pajama option for new moms. I personally like to sleep in shorts but there are long pant options as well!
Pajamas Set for Women
These were a life saver while pumping. They can go in the freezer for cold relief or be warmed up if that soothes you!
Lansinoh Breast Therapy Packs - Hot & Cold
Do NOT forget to take care of yourself once your baby comes home. I know its easier said than done! This nipple cream works wonders if you're pumping or breastfeeding.
Earth Mama Organic Nipple Butter, Lanolin-Free Breastfeeding Cream, 2 fl oz
You may be sleep deprived but you don’t have to look like it. Check out these under eye patches with hyaluronic acid to help reduce puffiness after a long night.
grace & stella Retinol Under Eye Patches
There are so many options for dry shampoo but this is my personal favorite. Inexpensive & gets the job done when I don’t have time (or motivation) to wash my hair.
Dove Dry Shampoo Spray
During my pregnancy & post partum, I had a lot of feelings going through my head. Happiness, sadness, anxiety. Writing them down help me clear my head a bit
Spiral Notebook With Tabs
One thing about the newborn stage is, you’re going to need some caffeine to get through it. I personally have this & use it to make my little lattes throughout the morning!
Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ Espresso Maker Lilac
This is one of the best “mom” books I have found. It covers so many scenarios you encounter from the first night home, to the later months.

Make sure mom is taking care of herself & staying hydrated.

I thought this was unnecessary the first time I saw it. But if you want to get in and out of the car quickly, go on little walks without waking baby up, or run into the store this is perfect. Life changing actually 😆
