Newborn must have from a mom of three beautiful babies 🫶🏻

items Newborn must have and some just for fun 😉
This thing was great for nursing but we used it mostly to help older siblings hold baby. When baby is learning to sit up on their own, this pillow is great to help support them and to give them a soft landing for when they tip.
Boppy Organic Nursing Pillow, Sand Criss Cross
This bassinet was the best! I tried a few different ones but this one was my fave! First off it doesn’t cost a small fortune second it’s portable so baby can have their bed wherever they go!
HALO Baby BassiNest Flex Portable Bassinet
Ok this one is a bit of a splurge. We didn’t have this until our third baby and I totally wish we had it with our first two. After my second baby was born early and had sleep apnea I would have killed to have had this monitor. Unfortunately at the ti...

I loved that these pacifiers are all natural plus didn’t confuse my breastfed babies. Bonus, get the ones that glow in the dark so you’re not scrambling in the night!

These are great for newborns as they naturally like to sleep with their arms up. Plus no noisy Velcro or annoying buttons!

Any travel system where you don’t have to upgrade as your baby grows or detach 100 options is great.
Graco FastAction Jogger LX Travel System
ANY lounge seat works. Doesn’t have to be fancy just something for mom or dad too put baby down safely so they can shower or cook or tend to other kids or whatever! I do like this one as toddlers can sit in it too. So if you have multiple ages at hom...
Ergobaby Evolve 3-in-1 Bouncer Onyx Black
Ok, this one is a splurge and maybe not a necessity but it did help us ALOT. When our oldest was a month she had RSV and could sleep laying down. This one the only place we felt she could sleep safely.

Some kind of baby lounger. Maybe not a must have but it is something that we loved and used everyday!
Baby Lounger Pillow for Newborn 0-24M Green
Our babies used this play mat from newborn to toddler! They love the kicking piano and I love how it grows with them so you’re not constantly buying new things. It’s also great for tummy time.
Fisher-Price Glow & Grow Kick & Play Piano Gym
If you buy anything!!! BUY THIS! I can not recommend this enough. All my babies either got RSV or croup at some point in their first year and this here was the best nose sucker I could find! It’s disgusting but when your baby is struggling you forget...

We have three of these. Yup three! My girls room my baby boys room and our room! The best one out there and it doesn’t break the bank!

I have used this since Ledger was a newborn and he’s almost two. And he is a heavy dude! This does not hurt my back and I’m a short queen so that’s not an easy task!
KeaBabies Baby Wrap Carrier Newborn-Toddler
My mother in law bought us this with our last baby and let me tell you I wish I had this with my first two! Definitely beats boiling water or burning yourself with a microwave one! Also not going to lie, I still use this when we have sickness going t...
Baby Brezza Bottle Sterilizer & Dryer Advanced
Any good swaddle! I loved Muslim ones when my babies were born in the summer but loved these copper pearl ones any other time. The stretch to get that nice tight but not too tight swaddle is the best!
Copper Pearl Large Knit Baby Swaddle Fern
I purchased two packs of these. Started out with the ten pack and quickly purchased another 10! These are the best burp clothes ever!! My baby is almost two and I still use these around the house. They are the perfect size and so soft

I will go to my death bed a pampers girl! No explanation needed. I’ve tried all the kinds and always go back to pampers.
Pampers Swaddlers Newborn Diaper Size 0 84 Count
I own three of these. Yes three. Why? I don’t know, because they are awesome! Even without bottles and even if I didn’t have kids. I will always have one of these on my counter. They dry water bottles or any type of bottle perfectly. They get the air...
Boon Lawn Countertop Drying Rack White
I have done the hard work on this one for you! I’ve tried the sink inserts, I’ll save you the trouble, baby just slides down or it doesn’t fit perfectly in your sink and it’s just awkward, the big bulky one with the cute toys and newborn sling. It’s ...
