some of the products on my baby registry that became must haves for my newborn!

My kids (one and almost 3) LOVE these toys and play with them almost every day! They keep them occupied and help cut down on screen time which is a win in my book

Baby needs are so many and the options there are just so overwhelming and the opinions moms have vary drastically that you might be confused by who to listen to, so my list here is for the mom who is practical, plans to have more than one kid and thus, values good quality products over high-end brand names or/and cheap products to just make it through a single baby or a single occasion. I didn’t buy so many things the world recommends or suggests you MUST get that for me just ended up being an unnecessary gadget that takes space. At the end of this, all I want to say is that if you feel overwhelmed, it’s really very normal and it IS overwhelming but believe it or not, in no time you’ll figure it out and your mom brain while might become a bit forgetful in so many things, it does feel like a new compartment in both your brain and heart open up to help pay attention to all the details and take them in. You got it, mama!!
