Newborn /postpartum essentials I'd use again and again!
Starting with this.. I had a white one that fits everything I needed in reach. Think breast pump/bottles, nappies, wipes, midnight snacks, breast pads, muzzies!
A portable white noise machine is one of my biggest recommendations for any new parent!

I really liked pampers for bedtime nappies. Daytime nappies I wouldn’t mind as I was changing more frequently anyway. A good nappy for bedtimes is a must to avoid leaks.

My favorite brand of car seat we have tried. Rear facing and easier to lift in with the spin/rotate function.
Joie™ chili spin™ SI 360° rotating car seat
A soft and comfortable but supportive wrap for times baby just wants to be close. I used a wrap daily for at least the first 3 months. So worth investing in something you find comfortable and will last!
Aura Baby Wrap Carrier: Lightweight for Newborns
For those that need bottles these were my go to and I’ve never looked back. Easy to sterilise in a microwave and comes apart for cleaning. I found these easy and have always recommended them.

This was the best pump I used in the way of output but is not hands free. If you want something to pump at home rather than on the go this is powerful!
Spectra S2 Hospital Grade Double Electric Breast Pump
For something hand free but also good output I loved this.
Momcozy M5 Wearable Double Electric Breast Pump
We used these for the first few weeks.. then moved to a sleep bag when baby was more active/rolling and wanting arms out.

Somewhere to have baby close that you can lay them down. We had a Moses basket for downstairs and a next to me crib for upstairs.
