Baby Must Haves

By brookemathieu

Newborn must haves made simple and natural!

Newborn sleep must haves!!
Let’s face it, you won’t be sleeping much with a newborn regardless of how “good” of a sleeper they are as they need to feed every 3-4 hours. My biggest tips:
1. Bassinet. Go CHEAP with a bassinet. They won’t use it long at all and like I said, they are up often in the night regardless, so no need for a fancy vibrating one. 
2. Velcro swaddles. I didn’t want to like these. But my newborn loved them. Just get them. 
3. Sound machine. On ALL the time. This one is an incredible dupe for the hatch and can be controlled from an app as well. 
4. Earthley good night magnesium lotion helps babies and adults sleep and restores magnesium levels. I love all things earthley

Newborn diapering must haves!
Loved Millie moon diapers and honest wipes. The texture on the wipes helps get all the poop out of all the crevices. 
La petit crème is AMAZONG for the meconium poops. Put some on babies bum before their first poop and it wipes right off. I also used it on a wipe for diaper changes and it made clean up so much easier and prevented diaper rash. 

These waterproof changing pads are a necessity for those newborn diaper changes. IYKYK. Has saved the sheets on numerous occassions  

Forgot to add the picture, but dekor plus diaper pail was great for newborn diapers! Could fit SO many in there and no smell!

Newborn baby gear must haves!!

The play pen is perfect if you have pets you want to keep baby separated from. 

The babybjorn bouncer is the BEST on the market. My baby told me so when he refused to use any other one. 

The snuggle me was the only my baby would take a nap NOT on me (obviously watch them, never leave them unsupervised). And the waterproof covers saved my life because I was washing it almost daily from diaper leaks. 

My baby loved the lovevery play gym and these black and white pictures. It’s so good for their eye development and starting tummy time

Newborn travel must haves!

Evenflo gold revolve360 extend is the only car seat you’ll need for your kids whole life. Good from 4-120lbs and converts to a booster. Definitely worth skipping over the infant seat. 

The ergobaby embrace is such a comfy carrier for both mom and baby. Used this on every outing when my baby was a newborn. 

The car camera is a must! Can’t imagine what it’s like to have to use the mirrors. It simplifies life so much and is so affordable  

I wish I had gotten this mompush stroller because it’s so affordable and such nice quality and love the bassinet attachment for newborns.

What I carried in my diaper bag for a newborn!

Portable sound machine. This one has a shushing sound on it that helped my son sleep. 

Portable waterproof changing mat!

Hand sanitizer, low-tox of course. 

Millie moon diapers and honest wipes, my holy grail

Burp cloths. Bring them everywhere. Keep them everywhere. You’ll always need them for something even if it’s not spot up. 

Not pictured: AT LEAST one extra outfit and a blanket

Newborn bath essentials!

This baby bath was the BEST! Used it newborn-6 months when we moved him to our bathtub because he was wanting to move around. The newborn insert is adjustable and removable. 

Honest products are great! We didn’t use soap for every bath because they don’t need it, but when we did we used this one as soap and shampoo. 

These little brushes were great, especially the scrubber one for washing hair. 

Muslin cloths. It can even be the burp cloths you already have! They make great bath cloths. 

And a heating pad. We warmed his towel up with it so when he got out, he had a nice warm towel waiting for him to get his nightly baby massage. 

Not pictured: coconut oil. Just a jar of organic coconut oil is the BEST moisturizer for babies! Trust me. He had such peely skin and it helped so much. Plus it’s natural and inexpensive compared to other baby products

Breastfeeding must haves with a newborn!!

These nursing bras were so comfy. I still wear them to this day everyday. They have so many cute colors but I got black to hide stains. 

SILVERRETTES saved my nips and so did the organic nipple balm. 

I used a haakaa with every feed on the opposite breast to catch let downs. 

Burp cloths. Because leaking. And burping of course. 

Milk freezer storage system!
