This stroller lasted year. Loved that the car seat and stroller came together.

Loved this crib for my son. Also bought the changing table, and the dresser to match.

I had a clingy baby and baby wearing definitely helped so much with getting things done around the home. Sometimes I wish I could still wear him lol he’s still clingy and he’s 4 now.
KeaBabies Baby Wrap Carrier - Classic Gray
Highly recommend these towel set. Definitely keeps the baby warm and they are so stinking cute.
Simple Joys by Carter's Baby Girls 8-Piece Towel Set
My son love these while he was teething. You can put them in the freezer which helps soothe the babies growing teeth.
Nuby Ice Gel Teether Keys | Blue
Always always buy in bulk. This was one of the only brands I trusted for my little one. They are fragrance free and super gentle for your baby.
Honest Company Multi-Use Baby Wipes, 288 Ct
If you plan on breast feeding which I highly recommend. Get a breast pump a lot of states offer for free if you are on Medicaid but if not buy one. I personally like the ones you place on your boob until full.
Breast Pumps in Feeding
Don’t forget breast milk bags. You’ll definitely need these to keep your milk preserved.
Breast Milk Storage Bags
Don’t forget to buy a tub for your baby. You can’t bathe them right after leaving the hospital but when you start they need to be in a safe and secure baby tub not the regular bath. Don’t really recommend putting them in your kitchen sink either with...

I lived tubby Todd as first time mom. My son had eczema so I purchased the bundle and it did wonders for my baby. Remember babies have very sensitive skin so protect it.

People don’t tell you that even though they don’t have teeth you need to practice brushing their gums. Also don’t forget to schedule that first dentist appointment!

Practice Tummy time. I did this frequently and my son learned to hold his head up so good in such a short time frame he also learned to walk at 10 months old.
Tummy Time Toys
No we are not putting the baby’s milks in a boiling pot of water or heating it up in the microwave. Make sure you purchase a milk warmer. Which is really convenient because you’ll be tired a lot and they heat the bottle up quickly.
Bottle Warmer
Omg!!! I never liked those nose sucker bulbs shaped things… this is what I purchased multiple times for my baby’s boogies. Highly recommend.
Frida Baby NoseFrida SnotSucker Nasal Aspirator
Personally I loved these. Definitely helping when holding the baby while breastfeeding and helping them practice sitting up. Please don’t leave them unattended in these though they can suffocate.
