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
