Must Haves for New Babies
14
items As a new dad these are my must have's and/or items I use and appreciate on the daily
*update as of 9/13/25 This is hands-down the must have/probably one of our most used items. It gives such a secure swaddle. We have one but will be getting another couple soon because we use this one over everything else. Our baby absolutely loves th...
Sleep Sack
Portable white noise machines making naptime/sleep much easier to accomplish. Can even attach to the stroller. I really like the alarm clock that mimics the sun rising.
Dreamegg White Noise Machines
Ability to wash/bathe your baby from birth to about 24 months with the same tub either in the sink/tub or standalone. Easy to clean/hang dry/long life use.
Frida Baby 4-in-1 Bathtub Review & Setup
Functional backpack to carry all necessary supplies for changing in addition to having your own mobile (and clean) changing station.
Black Boy Diaper Bag Backpack with Changing Station
Absolute must for those fun messy diapers (also great for sensitive skin)
Pampers Sensitive Baby Wipes, Water Based
Our baby does better with this over any others due to the roundness of the nipple size. (Less time picking it up after spitting it out)
MAM Pacifiers: In Silk Teat or Natural Latex
Blankets with good stretch make swaddling soo much easier!
Bamboo Stretch Swaddles
Helpful way to prevent losing (or dropping) the pacifier on the ground. Easy to clean as well.
Pacifier Clips
I really liked the stand for the bottle brush that can keep it upright or sideways in the sink to allow for it to dry/drain.
Dr. Brown's Baby Bottle Cleaning Brush
These knee and elbow pads are great and can be used for outside of bathing time (playing, changing etc).
Elbow and Knee Tub Rest Pads
Comfortable shirt even in the warmer climates. Helps to build a closer bond and an extremely functional way to carry baby around.
Lalabu Dad Shirt T-Shirt with Kangaroo Pouch
After being a new dad for the past week and a half I can tell you hands-down this is the best item that we have. It’s portable has multiple sound modes. We like to use the heartbeat mode and place it on our bassinet, stroller and car seat. The heartb...
Dreamegg Portable White Noise - New Dad Review
This machine will warm up your wet wipes, which significantly helps our baby keep a little calmer during changing sessions. Instead of being shocked by the cold wipes, warmer, wet wipes, helps improve the experience. Also, I like the name of the prod...
TinyBums Baby Wipe Warmer with LED nightlight
Portable and extremely long battery life. The flexible feet on it allows it to hold onto anything that’s round. Great for going to the pool or just taking a walk with the baby in the stroller.
