This is the cover I used when I needed a cover. Most of the time I went without a cover but if needed this allows for hands free and you can see what’s going on without being exposed. I tried others and this one worked the best!

This was amazing to have on hand when we needed it. I didn’t know I would need it until we did so it was perfect to have on hand. I found this one to be more effective than the motorized ones.

This is a must. This was my at home baby wearing wrap. It is so much cozier than a lot of the others. I love it. It just feels like she was back in the womb. It was so comfortable! And this is such a cute design!

Aquaphor is the best for dry patches on their skin but also diaper rashes. I feel like this worked on my babies diaper rashes better than some of the other creams. And she had some eczema spots and this was always so helpful!!!

This was the PERFECT baby blanket. It has a silky side that honestly made me feel better using when the weather was a little bit warmer. It is so soft and you have both the silky and plush side options. This is the best baby blanket we got for her!!

This will come in handy at some point within the first few weeks. Their nails grow so fast and they are so sharp and can really scratch themselves so I used this within the first week of being home with her!
