Life with a newborn
12
items The things that I found essential and/or made my life so much easier as a first time mom!
Bamboo double zippered sleepers - game changer. So stretchy, so soft and grows with them so much better than standard sleepers.
Little Sleepies
I had two of these! Kept my daughter cozy and safe if I had to sit down to eat or needed a safe place to put her.
Infant Loungers
game changer for babies when they have an upset tummy or gas pains! Love that it is all natural too (can also use as an adult or if youre in your first trimester of pregnancy!!)
Infant Tummy Relief - For upset tummies and gas | Natural Wellness | Earthley
LOVE this for diaper changes. Also can be super helpful for any rashes/dry spots on babies. Used this with my daughters eczema flare ups!

My newborn has been dealing with tummy pains and gas and these seem to be giving him some relief!

Love this portable sound machine. Different sound options plus the nightlight makes it great for traveling! Also brought to the hospital
Frida Baby 2-in-1 Portable Sound Machine + Nightlight
Love that you can tap to dim and that this light is portable making it great for traveling. I use this nightly though for night wakings and feedings!
VAVA Nightlight
Vaseline alternative. Great for really dry skin and mild diaper rash!

Just purchased this and have loved it so far! Had a different tub for my daughter and really didn’t like it, but have liked this one so much better.
MOBY® Smart Sling™ 3-Stage Tub - Blue - Skip Hop
Great for traveling or to throw in your car! Used with my first and using it again for my second

Used this for my daughter and now my son. One of my most used items that has grown with us! Tons of car seat adapters work for this stroller too!
Mockingbird Modular Single-To-Double Full Size Stroller 3.0 - Black
Another favorite diaper cream - with zinc oxide it helps to calm diaper rashes or redness and promotes healing. Fun fact - we also used this when my son had a really bad rash in the rolls of his neck from drooling and it cleared it up so fast!
