items These newborn essentials have really helped me on my journey of being a new mom again after 7 years. I hope this helps you.
My go to diaper cream. I have a 3 month old, he is my third baby and this is my favorite diaper cream. I discovered this brand while creating my registry and I love the diaper cream. It is not difficult to get off during a change and very effective.
Diaper Rash Cream
This newborn body wash is long lasting. At 15 weeks, my baby has been able to use this up until a few days ago. It is effective and has a generous amount in the bottle. If you're like me and like to cover a washcloth with a ridiculous amount of soap ...
Sensitive Baby Fragrance-Free Foam Baby Wash
Hydration at its best. I got a sample of this with my target registry. This is something I keep in my diaper bag to quickly moisturize my baby's face. It is super light and keeps my baby's face moisturized. I have only used the fragrance free lotion.
2-in-1 Face and Body Whip Lotion - Vivvi & Bloom
Something to have on hand for the days your baby's face is extremely dry. Mildly scented and thick. Pairs well with the regular calendula lotion.
Moisturizing Oat & Calendula Miracle Face Cream
For the days you have to hold baby and get things done around the house. This is my first time using an infant wrap. I was terrified I'd tie it incorrectly and drop my baby. The video tutorial on their website helped me while I was getting accustomed...
Mastering MOBY Wrap: Wrapping Guide
I have this tub in blue and appreciate the sling so much! It is easy to clean and just the right amount of water reaches baby. It is a little bulky but the hook helps me store it in my small bathroom with ease. It took me a while to adjust the sling....
Skip Hop Baby Bath Tub, 3-Stage Smart Sling ...
These were gifted to me and I love the material. The big size is convenient and makes it easier to swaddle your baby as they grow. I've also used them in my monthly picture updates because they are so cute. Love the fact that the material feels breat...
Swaddle Blankets | aden + anais

If you're into aesthetics and cute things these are the best pacifiers. I actually purchased them based on the recommendations from friends. The aesthetic is a plus. I started out with just buying one pack of 2. Then, had to turn around and purchase...
Cute Baby Pacifier - Itzy Ritzy
I love the fact I can wheel this around my house. I purchased it for the adjustable height feature. I didn't realize the collapsible travel feature would come in handy. Also easy to wash.
AMKE Bedside Sleeper for Baby, Quick Assemble Crib
The compact size is ideal for my limited counter space. I use this two to three times a day for my pump parts. Has not failed me yet and I feel confident in the sterilization process. Wish it came with more descaling packs. 10/10 recommend.
GROWNSY Baby Bottle Sterilizer and Dryer
I have the compact version with the tree. It is easy to wash and the elevated aspect of it helps to dry items quickly.
Boon Grass Countertop Drying Rack, Green
I enjoy these so far. You have to ensure the silicone patch is around the rim all the way to avoid spills. The pouch collapses as the baby drinks and I have not had a gassy baby.
NURSH Silicone Pouch Bottle 3-pack
These are my go to bottles for my breastfed baby. Baby is now 11 months and I purchased the bigger size bottles for daycare just in case he needs 5oz or more. It ensures he's not getting too much milk. The bottle mimics a breast flow and he has not b...
Avent Anti-colic bottle with AirFree vent
I live in an apartment with paid shared laundry. I have two of these for the times I'm fighting for a washer. Very comfortable as well.
Removable Slipcover for Newborn Lounger ...
I tried the digital nasal aspirator and absolutely disliked it. The nose Frida does wonders after incorporating saline drops. Make sure to ask the hospital for the nasal aspirator they use! If you forget like me this is helpful and very easy to clean...
Nose Frida
Good ol faithful. My Babo baby cream is amazing but this was needed when my son had a terrible rash and it gave him so much relief. This should be on hand as a backup
Zinc Oxide Diaper Rash Cream | DESITIN®
Use this as a base on the baby prior to adding Desitin or Babo cream. It helps add a barrier that heals a diaper rash or nips the beginning stages right in the bud.
A+D Original Ointment Diaper Cream
Great absorbency! Non toxic luxury diapers. I enjoy the fact that I have less blowouts using this brand and they are reliable at night.
Millie Moon: Luxury Diapers & Baby Wipes
Cute designs and clean ingredients. I use these during the day.
