Sleeping Baby Necessities Recommended by a NICU nurse
14
items These items helped my baby sleep, stay asleep, and gave me the peace of mind know these products are safe which allowed me to also get some much needed sleep. As a NICU nurse safety is a top priority when it comes to products that I use for my baby.
I absolutely love this product. As a NICU nurse, swaddling is part of my job, but this swaddle sack made it easy for my husband to be able to swaddle our baby as tight or loose as she wanted.
Sleep Bag Swaddlers
This is by far one of my favorite items that I had for my newborn. Knowing this is 100% breathable made me so comfortable setting her down for sleep. The mattress is firm, washable, and breathable ensuring safe sleep.
Bassinet & Bedside Sleeper
I also bought the same brand of mattress as her bassinet for all the same reasons. It’s firm, breathable, and washable. It also helps the transition from sleeping in the bassinet to the crib by using the same style of mattress.
Safe & Breathable Crib Mattress
You can never have too many bassinet or crib sheets. These are breathable and fit the bassinet perfectly. Easy quick change for if baby spit up or had a big big blowout.
Bassinet Extra Sheets
I received so many brands of diapers at my baby shower because of the diaper raffle, however, these are by far my favorite diaper for night time. During the day I use any brand, but at night she sleeps in these. They are highly absorbent and decrease...
Millie Moon
I love a butt paste and this one has been the best we have used. In the NICU we use cream to prevent and protect, so I did the same with my little one using this product. I use this every night before bed and her diaper area has always looked so good...
Best Diaper Rash ointment & cream for sensitive skin!
I love this product. I got two of them during my baby shower and instead of return one I kept them both. It’s so nice to have one downstairs during naps and also one to keep in her diaper bag. This helps her fall asleep quickly and stay in that deep ...
Hatch Go - Nap trapped no more
I love this customizable hatch sound machine. You are able to set up a night time routine, nap routine, a morning wake up routine… whatever you want from an app in your phone. It is super user friendly! My baby has loved the lullaby it plays while ge...
Hatch Rest 2nd Gen All-in-one Sleep Machine, Nightlight & Sound Machine
We started with a different baby monitor that only sent alerts to our phones. I liked it, however, I felt like I wouldn’t wake up to the notifications it would send if I was sleeping and it would drain my phone battery with how much I loved to watch ...
Non-Wifi 1080P Video Baby Monitor: Peace of Mind & Safety
Once my baby started showing signs of rolling, we transitioned her out of the Kyte Baby sleep swaddle sack and into the Kyte Baby sleep sack. They are so soft and I love that you can get different tog sacks based on what temperature you keep your hou...
Sleep Bags
These sheets are breathable a fit the Newton mattress perfectly. You can never have too many sheets!
Breathable, Organic Cotton Sheets (2-pack)
A must have when trying to protect your mattress from spit up, blowouts, or starting to potty train. It’s so comforting to know that this is still breathable even while being protective.
Waterproof & Breathable Crib Mattress Pad
I love this air purifier and humidifier all in one. It also has the capability of adding their Canopy Little Dreams essential oil aroma to it to help create a calm soothing environment for my little one. This will also be amazing for when she gets a ...
Bedside Humidifier 2.0
I love these!! They smell so good, but aren’t too strong. They help create a soothing aroma for sleep and wake up.
