As a FTM, I know it's hard figuring out what products will work best for you. I've tried many, and these are my top recommendations for new parents.
So helpful to have a place to put your baby down when they're tiny. At 12 months old, my son still enjoys it too!
A safe place to put down your baby
Trust me, you'll thank yourself for getting this..
Wipable changing pad is a must!
Not a want, but a need!!
Save yourself the trouble of constantly washing bottles. Great item to add to a baby registry!
The swivel design was so helpful, especially as a mama recovering from a c-section!
A bassinet that swivels

This ointment is magic. I even use it on myself at times
Cutting tiny baby fingernails is terrifying, this makes the process much less scary

These are great for babies that like to sleep with their arms out (like mine). Velcro is also a godsend.

Something your baby will grow into over time. Love!

Once your baby is ready to transition out of their swaddle, I swear by these sleep sacks. My son has slept through the night since 12 weeks old
I swear by these. Keeps my baby asleep through the night
Would recommend adding to your baby registry! Incredible selection of beautiful, educational toys that grow with your baby
Educational and age-appropriate toys
Works great - I'm a big fan.
Old-school, but no risk of someone hacking into your baby monitor
We used this for a good amount of time! The infant insert gave me a lot of peace of mind, and I appreciated the different stages.
Excellent for those little newborns, like my preemie
If you're combo or bottle feeding, this is such a help during those late night feeds!!
Make feedings less arduous
