Don't overstock NB size — babies grow out of it in 2-3 weeks
Her skin got irritated with regular baby wash, this one never caused issues

Sounds small but keeps them warm right after bath, newborns lose heat fast
Yoofoss Hooded Baby Towels 2 Pack Organic Cotton
Used this daily until the cord stump fell off around week 2
Medline Sterile 12-Ply Woven Gauze 4x4, 50ct
Didn't think I'd need it right away, ended up using it from day one
Desitin Daily Defense Baby Diaper Rash Cream 4oz
Even breastfeeding, I needed this for pumped milk and middle-of-the-night backup

Momcozy KleanPal Pro Bottle Washer & Sterilizer
You can never have too many of these, spit-up happens constantly
Comfy Cubs 10-Pack 20x10" Cotton Burp Cloths
Non-negotiable — the hospital checked ours before we could even leave

Used this more than I expected, great for peace of mind during the first fever scare

Didn't think I'd need this, ended up being the MVP during her first cold
