The first 3 months of parenthood with a newborn can be overwhelming. Many parents go into survival mode and do whatever it takes to get them through. There are many items on the market these days, but here are just a few things to help you get through those first few months.
- Pacifier: WubbaNub
– our pick! The cute animal attached helps keep paci in baby’s mouth. Also, this brand is used often in hospitals.
- Sleep Sacks: HALO
- Burp Cloths: Gerber
– our pick! The monogram ones are so precious, but you will be handling lots of spit up and these are more absorbent!
- Puj Tub
: the easiest and most comfortable way to bathe your newborn. Plus it is easy to transport!
- Boppy Pillow
: our pick! Breastfriend is a great pick as well!
- Floor Mat
: great for lying down baby while getting something done. This activity set will keep them alert and stimulated for some time.
- Carrier: Solly baby wrap, Ergo, or sling.
- Infant Seat
: our pick! Although many moms who want to save space use the swing or Rock n Play.
- Swing: 4moms RockaRoo– our pick! The mamaRoo is also amazing and would be a great addition. These 4moms products help save space!
- Swaddle Blankets: aden + anais
– our pick! Sweet patterns and soft muslin material.
- Honest Diapers: our pick! Cute patterns and a safe chemical free choice for your little ones bum.
- Sleep Machine:Cloud B Sleep Sheep
– great for on the go, Homedics Sound Machine
– best for keeping in baby’s room.
- Hand Sanitizer: our pick! Make sure your baby’s visitors always wash their hands. Offering hand sanitzer and leaving it on the coffee table helps visitors spray really quick without mama having to ask.
- Bath Wash:Noodle & Boo Newborn 2-in-1
– our pick! The smell is divine and smells just like a newborn.
What items were life savers during your baby’s newborn days? Would love to hear what worked for you!
My Maya Wrap/sling has saved me! I still use it now by putting Walter on my hip. It’s the best!
I regret not buying one- I borrowed a friends a loved it! I definitely will be making the purchase for next baby 🙂
the mamaroo was, hands down, the best thing we ever registered for! josephine was a horrible sleeper her first 6 months of life, plus she had reflux. the mamaroo was the only thing that got her to sleep. she literally slept only in that swing for her first 4 months! it was a life-saver.
It is amazing! I am so glad we made the purchase as well! Such an incredible product!
What an awesome list ! We too love the WubbaNub! For swaddles, definitely also aden and anais fans (and we love their bibs and burp cloths) or we recently took a liking to Nuroo! And for baby wash, bella b and Earth Mama are our faves 🙂
Thank you so much! Yes, all that you said is on our list, too! So many good ones 😉
