First off, being a mommy is one of my very favorite roles in my entire life. Tucker is absolutely precious and we are so blessed to be his parents! Thank you Jesus for the gift of his life!
I have figured out VERY quickly what items I use most as a first time mom with a newborn. These are the items we have used the most to date.
Here is the link to shop ALL of the items (and more!) that are shared below!
1. SNOO // we use the SNOO Bassinet every night, obviously. Truthfully, we don’t want to raise another newborn in the future without it. It’s THAT good. It helps the parents + baby get good sleep during the typically sleepless early days. It also teaches the baby foundational sleep skills, plays white noise, and attempts to put the baby back to sleep if they wake before feeding time. We rent the SNOO through www.happiestbaby.com and have had a great experience so far.
2. Doona Stroller // we use this every single day. The convenience is unmatched. They are currently really hard to find – snatch it up if you see one!
3. Baby Brezza Formula Mixer // literal lifesaver for middle of the night feedings. You won’t regret this. It prepares a bottle at the click of a button.
4. Dr. Browns Bottles // we introduced a bottle early on + chose these. Luckily, Tuck ended up liking the first type of bottle we tried.
5. Owlet Monitor // we use this for peace of mind. We have never had any issues with it + love it.
6. FridaBaby NoseFrida // I have used this from day 1 at home. It’s the easiest way to clean out baby’s nose.
7. Snuggle Me // we love this baby lounger. It’s safe + super useful.
8. Solly Baby Wrap // I’m so glad I registered for this. This wrap holds baby tight + TJ loves it + momma can get some things done… all at the same time. Certainly a win, win.
9. Black + White Cards // we use the LoveEvery Play Gym + adhere the black and white cards to the top of the arch ways so Tucky can see them when he is laying down. This is one of Tucker’s favorite past times. I love to bring the cards with me when we are on the go, too. I’ve linked some other black + white card options, if you don’t have the cards that come with the play gym.
10. Copper Pearl Burp Towels // we love the material of these burp towels. They are thick + durable, easy to wash, have cute patterns… you get the point.
That’s all for now! I’ll report back around Tucker’s three month mark on what items we used the most during that time period. As always, let me know if you have any questions!
