Hi, friends! I thought I would put together a list of my newborn baby must-have items to share here on the blog as a reference in case you are an expecting mama! These are just our personal favorite items that we love and use with our newborns.
Newborn Baby Must-Have Items
Bassinet
We used this bassinet with Tatum and Porter + they slept so well in it, so we are hoping for the same with this baby. We just keep it in our bedroom for easy access with middle of the night diaper changes and feedings.
Dockatot
We looove our Dockatot. We have used this for Tatum & Porter. It’s the best! We love that we can keep baby safe while laying on the bed or while traveling by letting baby lay or chill in the Dockatot.
Carseat
We loveeeee our Maxi-Cosi carseats and used them for both Tatum & Porter. This time we are trying out the Doona and I am stoked about it. We are always on the go and Porter isn’t always a fan of being in a stroller, so I thought we’d try the Doona. It is super sleek and so easy to use.
Stroller
We love our City Mini double stroller for traveling and walks! Ours has been through a lot and is still looking great. It is wider than I would like, so we also have this Maxi-Cosi stroller.
Diaper Bag
I have a few favorite diaper bags and also like to use my normal totes as diaper bags as well. I love my Fawn Design bag.
Clothing
I love keeping newborns comfy and cozy. So I bought things that I can mix and match! I also put mittens on my babies to avoid them scratching their faces. Socks are a must too to keep their feet warm. Linking some things I ordered below!
Swaddles + Blankets
Swaddles and blankets are so fun + come in so many colors and patterns. I love Copper Pearl (seriously so soft) and ADEN + ANAIS swaddles so much! I love these two sleep sacks for night time (here)
Feeding
I plan on breastfeeding so won’t be ordering a ton of bottles, but like to have a couple on hand just in case! I ordered this haakaa milk collector after hearing so many amazing things! It collects milk during your let down on the side you aren’t feeding on- genius! I also ordered the Elvie pump – haven’t used it yet, so I will let you know if I love it 🙂 I love these nursing covers for when I am out and about and need to feed the baby. While at home I also use this nursing pillow to comfortably nurse (I ordered this cover and love the natural look of it). This drying rack has been a product I’ve used with all three kids. I use it to dry bottles, pump parts, sippy cups, etc! Burp cloths are also a necessity!
Bath Time
All you really need is somewhere to bathe baby, soft towels (here & here), and baby wash. We love Tubby Todd or Honest!
Misc
Some other things to have ready as well would be: diaper pail, baby nail trimmer, thermometer, nosefrida, and a baby monitor!
