10 Newborn Essentials

1. Hatch Rest ➸ https://amzn.to/3EgvRab

The Hatch Rest was a lifesaver! Whenever baby is napping or sleeping just turn on the Hatch Rest and let the sound machine go to work. It serves as a sound machine, night light, and an alarm. Connects to your phone and easy to use.

Another good and less expensive alternative is the Baby Shusher (https://amzn.to/3tbFT60).

2. Pacifiers ➸ https://amzn.to/3fRpBw3

My favorite pacifiers are the Philips AVENT ones, but any pacifier that your baby likes will do. A lot of the time it's preferential or dependent on if you're breastfeeding or not. But definitely keep lots of these on hand because they will disappear. My daughter also really loves her

3. Receiving Blankets ➸ https://amzn.to/3DOtkCF

Can never really have enough of these. These are perfect to use for swaddling your newborn and can be used as a burp cloth too. There are also so many cute prints to choose from. And if you just can't get the hang of swaddling you should try Love to Dream Swaddle Sack (https://amzn.to/3EdKtXN).

4. Baby Mittens ➸ https://amzn.to/3NOtXk0

I don't think you'll need these mittens for long, but I think they're great for your newborn when you might not feel confident trimming their nails yet.

5. Baby Knit Cap ➸ https://amzn.to/3tcqgv6

These are perfect for baby to keep them warm throughout the day. They come in cute matching sets with baby mittens too.

6. Baby Bath ➸ https://amzn.to/3zUzakL

They have a lot of nice baby baths to choose from, but I really like any bath that makes it easy to transition from newborn to toddler baths. This bath comes with a comfortable sling for your newborn.

7. Boppy Nursing Pillow ➸ https://amzn.to/3thfqEi

Whether or not your breastfeeding, this is a great addition for you baby. Can be used for nursing, bottle feeding, tummy time, and sitting support. I took mine everywhere with me. They also have Nursing Pillow Covers to make washing easier (https://amzn.to/3UBQEKA).

8. Baby Swing ➸ https://amzn.to/3G8YDKW

I honestly loved the Graco Simple Sway Swing with mobile. It was less expensive than other swings and did the same job. Only downside is that swings can take up a bit of space. And a less expensive and more space saving alternative would be a Baby Bouncer (https://amzn.to/3hsu1K6).

9. Baby Tracker App

Loved this app so much for helping me to keep track of all of my baby's activities. You can keep track of when they last ate, diaper changes, pumping sessions, and sleep schedule. My favorite app for tracking and it's free.

10. Nasal Aspirator ➸ https://amzn.to/3DPaNGh

Always need to have something to aspirate your baby's nose on hand. Really love this one and it's moderately priced. Also have an Electric NoseFrida (https://amzn.to/3zYRQ2L) or the Bulb never fails (https://amzn.to/3WFREiJ).
