One of my favorite swaddles because it helped my baby go to sleep and stay asleep. Love that this one has the option to go hands out as well
The Ollie® Swaddle – Adjustable, Safe Sleep

A great swaddle that allows baby’s hands to be in the up position while still being snuggled in. Love this one. Would recommend you only get the current size you need, as you’ll need to stop using once baby starts rolling

The cutest little nail set. The nail cutters are easy to use and the perfect size for baby hands. I prefer this to something electric on tiny fingers
Baby Nail Kit

Perfect for a newborn. I recommend laying down a soft muslin cloth or blanket and then laying baby down in it and covering them with another cloth or towel. We actually put ours inside of a collapsible tub and it was the perfect size

I use these wipes all the time! I have a pack in my diaper bag, nursery, stroller, and living room. They’re great to wipe a paci after it falls on the ground or to wipe down toys

A bouncer has been a must have for me. When you need to place your baby down and want to ensure they’re latched in, this will be your go-to.
