Newborn and Infant Milk Bottle Warmers
Our girl was a master at getting out of a swaddle. This has a Velcro strap on the inside to keep arms in, has a zipper even if she manages to escape the Velcro AND has Velcro arm holes to grow with baby

My favorite feature to this is that it connects to Bluetooth and has very soft nightlight options
Stroller fan was not only perfect for stroller walks, but also essential for those postpartum sweats 😅
