Having a newborn can be really stressful because you’re constantly making sure they’re breathing and okay. One little noise and your heart starts racing. The Owlet sock truly helped me sleep so much better. I was able to see Greyson’s O2 levels and HR, knowing that he was doing okay. If something was not normal then you will get alerted with a sound. For a monitor, we ended up getting a Google Nest cam and used an old IPhone. Don’t make that mistake, because you will realize that the phone will die after about an hour of having the livestream on unless plugged in. I wish I would have purchased the Hubble monitor instead. Actual baby monitors can last so long because they run off a lithium battery. Babies nails grow sooo fast so you need a good pair of nail clippers. The Frida Baby ones work great and have a little opening where you can see if you have ONLY the baby’s nail and no skin. Even still, they will scratch themselves. Don’t get any mittens that are just elastic because basically every baby can wiggle them off. The Goumi ones have a velcro strap so they actually stay on even the most active baby. For the first couple months baby’s lie on their back a lot. To prevent a flat spot on the back of their head, you can get a little pillow with an indention in it to prevent that from happening. As your baby starts to get teeth, the Babyganics and Dr. Talbot’s gel is great for comforting their gums. The Dr. Brown’s Pacidose helps baby take medicine more easily. This one in particular is nice because it has two different nipple shapes depending on which your little one is used to. Once baby is big enough to crawl/walk, you need to cover the outlets and lock your cabinets. The Bink covers we got are so sleek and pretty, and no way can your little one get it out! For the cabinets, you can get magentic locks from Amazon. There’s nothing showing on the outside of your cabinet, just the inside. You use a little magnet to open the door once everything is installed. No more ugly locks on the outside. No one would know they’re there! #LTKbump #LTKbaby #LTKfamily
TOYS TOYS TOYS!! Do they need them when they’re super young? Yes. Do they need a whole bunch? No. Toys are great teaching tool for babies. They help improve muscle and eye coordination among many other things. The black and white book is something newborns love because of the contrast in color. It’s perfect to sit out during tummy time. Baby’s love to hold on to things & it’s a bonus if it makes sound. Some of my favorites: Mombella mushroom, Skip Hop corn maracas, Bright Stars rattle, & Manhattan Toy rattle/teether. The teething egg and Infantino carrot are great for teething! Baby Einstein has a great little sensory toy that will keep baby occupied forever. You’ll want to eventually take toys with you when you go places, and they will definitely be thrown. To prevent that, grab some toy secure straps. The Skip Hop Bee works wonders when encouraging baby to crawl. It moves around like a Roomba! The little ‘dog walking’ toy is super cute to attach to the stroller to keep baby busy on walks. For a playmat, we tried a couple and didn’t like any of them. I realized by the time he had outgrown them, that a simple one is better- less stimulating & more relaxing. The Aden and Anais and Lovevery ones would have been ones I would have considered. If there’s one thing I wish I had done from the beginning, it’s get a subsscription to Lovevery. They send you toys every couple months that correspond to baby’s age. The toys are all educational and help develop skills that are being worked on at each specific age. All of the toys have a purpose and aren’t just for fun, but for learning too! #LTKbaby #LTKbump #LTKfamily
Whether you’re trying to save space in the closet or you want a fancier, the felt baby hangers from Amazon are perfect & come in so many colors. I found some matching velevet clips at BuyBuyBaby to hang pants on. The Yogasleep Dohm has two settings (high or low), and then you can twist it to make it more muted if you’d like. It really helps to have one of these so that baby stays asleep even if there are loud noises around the house. We LOVE the crib mattress we bought. It has one side that is breathable for baby to sleep on and the flip side is waterproof for toddlers. Cloud Island at Target is one of my favorite brands if you haven’t already figured that out😂. Our curtains and crib fitted sheets are both Cloud Island. The curtains are blackout (actually keep it dark), great quality, and durable. The fitted sheets have withstood many washes with no pilling and have a great fit. #LTKbump #LTKbaby #LTKfamily
