#17 COOLING GEL PADS || I used these big time the first couple of weeks of nursing. #16 LANOLIN || I keep these everywhere! They are a must for nursing. I seriously would pay $100 for this thing! I have cried over spilt breast milk so its nice when it leaks and this can catch it! This will suction and catch milk from the opposite side you nurse on. #15 SILICONE PUMP || Another MUST if you are nursing. #14 BREAST THERAPY PACKS || These saved me the first two weeks after my milk came in – these are a must! #13 BABY BATH SLEEPY TIME SET || I love this lotion – the smell is so good! We also use another brand but if you want to stick to a budget this is a great option. The animal is actually handy because it helps the Paci stay in their mouth when they are little and can’t quite use their hands! #11 PACI + ANIMAL || We use these for Sophia – but not with Luke. #9 BUMBO SEAT || Similar to the frog lounger – these are just really handy if you need a safe place for baby while you make a bottle or warm up food or something. #8 FROG LOUNGER || This thing… ? We swore by this with Luke and go another for Sophie. #7 COMO TOMO BOTTLES || These are all we use for Luke & for Sophia. DONE! No more sitting things around waiting for them to dry! Highly recommend this! #6 BABY BREZZA DRYER + STERILIZER || The BB team sent us this and WE LOVE IT. #5 WIPE WARMER || John teases me because I prefer to use warm wipes on babies! Babies like to be warm and snuggled so the idea of a cold wipe makes me want to cry! We just re-used ours from Luke for Sophia! This is the exact one we used and it is great quality. #4 EAR THERMOMETER || We have like 4 of these! We keep them all over our house. #3 TRAVEL BOTTLE WARMER || I know a lot of parents are not traveling with little babies – but many do so I wanted to share this! This is amazing if you are parents on the go! Her baby was born with some issues and she told me this was a life savor for her and her husband! We didn’t use it with Sophia because a friend in my hometown had a baby with heart problems so we sent it to her. #2 OWLET || The Owlet team sent this to us when we had Luke and it really gives you peace of mind as a new mom or just a parent in general. It just takes a few seconds to make it and it is very user friendly. It is nice & warm and you can pick the ounces you need made. It was so nice to have this because it is essentially a Keurig for formula. That + my work schedule, made it really hard so I started supplementing. Once Sophia started eating more, I couldn’t keep up my milk production. #1 BABY BREZZA || We have this and absolutely LOVE it. You can also choose age ranges, like 0-6mo to search for the items necessary for a baby at that age! Also, they’ve made it easy for a new mom with pre-populated items, personalized lists, etc. Wal-Mart has carseats, strollers, formula, nursing goods, bathing items, etc. All can be found at Wal-Mart, just FYI! You can do your baby registry with Wal-Mart HERE. Yes, we had diapers and wipes which were the #1 of course - but when I came home from the hospital and my milk came in I was literally in SO much pain and had to send John to Wal-Mart a couple of times in a single day to pick things up for me! SO, that being said, make sure you register or pick up nursing items, too! I’ll add a collage below of some items that we have really loved or would recommend. I am always trying to share the really good discoveries over on my IG stories just FYI! And I usually recap them in a blog or LTK post!Īnyway, Sophia is nearly 12 weeks old & I’ve had a lot of people ask about baby items and I hate to repeat content BUT I thought it would be a good idea to share some baby registry must-haves that are often forgotten! I never registered anywhere with Sophie – I just kind of lived on the edge, haha! Between work + building new house + moving + toddler - we were just constantly busy and I kept telling myself ‘oh I have everything!’. We are fortunate to get a lot of good baby items in PR and test/try random things we would typically not buy. I wrote a baby must-have post last summer once Luke was 14 months old and I felt like that was the best time to really cover what the tried and true ‘must-haves’ were for a baby’s first year! Since you really never know until you’ve ‘been there, done that’. ? Especially for those who are expecting their first baby and really don’t know what is necessary or what is just ‘fluff’, ya know?! Baby Registries… just the idea of them stresses me out.
