Baby’s First Year Must Haves

items Ever wonder if you really need something? As a first time mom, I wondered the same thing. Here is a list of items I would 100% recommend to anyone!
We used this when our son’s allergies started to flare up and it helped so much before bed!
Soothing Vapor Bath
Our got this for his first Christmas, when he was learning to sit we took the legs off and when he started to pull to stand we put them back on. Still uses this daily at a year old!
Fisher-Price Mix & Learn DJ Table
A honest must have, my son has worn his every night for over a year! I have bad postpartum anxiety and this sock is the only thing that helped me get any sleep at night! Totally worth the price for the length of us and comfort it brings.
Owlet
When our son out grew the swaddle but wouldn’t sleep without, we discovered these and they were perfect! He’s been using these since about 3 months and we just keep sizing up. He knows it’s bedtime when the sleep sack comes out!
Gllquen Baby Sleep Sack Premium Organic Cotton Wearable Blanket for Newborns Boys Girls, Infant Sleep Bag with 2-Way Zipper, Grey Planet and Star, Small - Walmart.com
These are the easier to put together anti-colic bottles I found! And they made so much of a difference when we switched to using them!
Philips Avent Anti-colic Bottle with AirFree Vent, 9oz, 3pk, Clear, SCY703/03
This was the only way my son would do tummy time! And it can be used to help them learn to sit up! You will know all the songs by the end of it!

THE BEST PURCHASE!! This is amazing for traveling with just you and your child, you can see everything they’re doing in real time.

Rotating Convertible Car Seat
This was a life saver turning the sick season. It gets everything out!
Frida Baby Electric Nose Frida Snot Sucker Nasal Aspirator for Baby Nasal Congestion
I love this camera! It doesn’t connect to WiFi which makes me feel so safe and secure, and it has such a long connection range so if you wanna go work in your flowerbed in the yard while your child naps it will stay connected!
Wireless Baby Monitor Sale - Shop Best Baby Video Monitor at HelloBaby
This stuff works for so much! Diaper rash, rubbing it on their face when they start teething and drooling, as a lotion, etc. Amazing to have around the house!
Vaseline 100% Pure Petroleum Jelly Original Unscented Body Moisturizer for All Skin Dryness, 1.75 oz
You don’t have to use Dr. Brown Bottles to use this! But it was is nice! After I cleaned the bottles I’d throw them in there and it would sterilize them dry!
Dr. Brown's All-in-One Sterilizer & Dryer for Baby Bottles, Parts & Other Newborn Essentials
These were the only pacifiers my song would take. I also recommend buying multiple because you will lose some!

We started trying straw cups around 6-7 months and these were the only ones he took to! Now he loves them!
(3 pack) The First Years Squeeze & Sip Toddler Straw Cups - Squeezable Transition Sippy Cup with Silicone Straw - Toddler Feeding Supplies - 7 Oz - 1 Pack - Ages 6 Months and Up
We tried the electric clippers and he hated them! We’ve used these since right after he was born. Now we pull out the nail clippers and he holds out his hand because he knows!

These were life changing! My son had gas problems and these in every bottle was the only thing that helped.

We use this as a nightlight and a humidifier! Also is great for when they’re sick and you put a few drops of peppermint/eucalyptus in there to help (once they’re over 3 months)
Fridababy BreatheFrida 3-in-1 Humidifier, Diffuser and Nightlight
Exposing them to sound young is great! We use this for sleep but we would also just let it play sometimes so he got used to it. Now we can vacuum around him and he has no reaction.
