items As a mom to three boys, I have found the tried and true necessities for welcoming a newborn!
This play gym is a must have for every baby in your life. The features are so fun to explore together and once again, Lovevery provides a perfect developmentally appropriate option for use at every age and stage.
The Play Gym | Baby Activity & Tummy Time Mat
We’ve had this single to double stroller for almost 5 years now! We love the versatility and how easy it is to fold down. We use the bassinet top when we have a newborn baby while still being able to stroll with two or three (with the riding board at...
Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller 2.0
We’ve been using one4life car seats since our first son was born in 2021. They are very sturdy, easy to adjust, and our kids love the cup holders. We know that with the Britax one4life our kids are safe in the car.
One4Life ClickTight All-in-One – Car Seat & Booster Combo
I’ve tried several breast pumps over the years and this is by far my favorite for everyday pumping. This pump empties wonderfully without getting uncomfortable. I used it with all three of my boys.
S1 Plus Premier Rechargeable Double Electric Breast Pump
This is my favorite on the go pump. It doesn’t empty me as well as my spectra, but for out and about it works really well! It’s quiet and comfortable.
Elvie Stride: Hospital-Grade Electric Breast Pump
Okay, this may seem odd to someone who has never used one, but these are amazing!! They help ease tummy upset caused by gas like magic for little babies! We always make sure to have them on hand when we have newborns!
Windi the GASPASSER – Frida | The fuss stops here.
These SAVE my nipples when I’m first starting to breastfeed a new baby. They sit comfortably in your bra and prevent excessive rubbing. They also help lock in moisture for cracked, dry nipples.
Silverette Usa: SILVERETTE - The Original Silver Nursing Cups
We use this bassinet top on our Mockingbird for the first 6 months or so when we have a new baby! We love the zip on cover for colder months and the sunshade is perfect for covering the sun.
Bassinet
The snuggle me organic is like a little hug for a newborn. We use this every day in the first few months. It’s a safe place for baby to lay and even take supervised naps. We never leave a baby unattended in the snuggle me but love toting it around th...
Snuggle Me
This one is spendy, but 100% worth the investment. To be honest, we received it as a very generous gift. Our boys all three started sleeping through the night at 6 weeks because of the foundational sleep support that the Snoo provides. My husband say...
SNOO Smart Sleeper Bassinet
My FAVORITE carrier for those newborn months! My husband and I can both wear this carrier because of the adjustability and it provides a cozy snug spot for our babies. We love that it has more structure than a simple wrap but less than a rigid carrie...
Konny Baby Carrier FLEX SoftBreeze™
These are our favorite sleep sacks for babies 6m to 2 yrs. We have had two in rotation for our three boys for four years and they have held up really well! They are soft and keep our babies warm, especially during our cold winter months!
Shop Sleep Bags
This is one of our favorite tools to have on hand with babies! It’s great for taking care of stubborn boogies, ear wax, etc. We have one on every level of the house just to be sure our little ones are taken care of!
3-in-1 Nose, Nail + Ear Picker – Frida | The fuss stops here.
This diaper rash cream is awesome! We love the coverage of each spray and how convenient it is to not have to spread cream with a finger or spatula. It works wonders in taking care of diaper rash too!!
Boogie Diaper Rash Cream Spray - PARENT 3pk
We have tried nearly every kind of diaper there is to try and Huggies by far beat out the rest. Minimal blowouts, snug and comfortable fit, and ultimate absorbency. We love that they keep our kids dry and comfy even through the night!
Huggies® Baby Diapers
These are our favorite wipes. They are durable and don’t ever rip when wiping. They also stay wet in their packaging for a really long time and don’t dry out like other wipes. We’ve tried them all and Pampers Sensitive are our favorite!!
Pampers Sensitive Baby Wipes Unscented, 2 Pack, 168 Total Count ...
These may seem basic, but they really are the best, most absorbent burp cloths! We go through tons in the first few months and these have been the ones we have come back to time and time again!
Yoofoss Muslin Burp Cloths 10 Pack Organic
Babylist Registries make gift giving and recieving sooo much easier! I have used Babylist for all of my pregnancies and it has been so convinient and easy to use. I love how much variety they have and how easy it is to add anything you could think of...
Find a Baby Registry
We love Hannah Andersson pajamas and clothing! Not only is it soft and durable, it is also almost always organic cotton material! Our kids all have extremely sensitive skin and the less synthetic material their skin is exposed to, the more healthy it...
