Today is the long awaited favorite baby items blog post! This is going to be a lengthy one so bare with me!! I hope this is helpful to you if you are pregnant or needing some things for your new baby!
Everything from this post is linked here on my Amazon Store Front as well. Under “Baby Must Have’s”.
THE BASICS
- Diapers – Honest Company – We love these so much! We are about to try the Costco diapers, but man do I love the honest ones! They are a little pricier, but we have had a great experience with them! I tried Hello Bello and a few others and these were my favorite!
- Wipes – Water Wipes hands down! I love these and they are super affordable. & the seedlings ones from young living are also a fave.
- Honest Diaper Cream
- Bum Brush – this is awesome for putting on your diaper cream! No need to get your hands dirty. Preston says this is a big one!
- Diaper Caddy – We have two of these throughout our house with diapers, wipes, pacis, and teethers!
- Pacis – Asher loves the Ryan and Rose ones and they are teethers too! He also loves his wubbanub as he has gotten older. They are a little heavy for the newborn phase. We also keep these paci wipes in our diaper bag for when we drop them out in public
- Paci Clips – I have these cute ones and then these casual ones from amazon.
- Gathre Mat for changing him
- This Freshly Picked Design Diaper Bag – I LOVE. It is the MVP of diaper bags.
- Muslin Burb Cloths – These are our favorite burb cloths. Asher is a big spitter so we have approx. 1 million of these haha.
- Diaper Pale – Have had a great experience with this one.
- Anything and everything frida baby!!!
FEEDING
I have a breastfeeding blog post here to read all about my favorite items and must have’s for breast-feeding mamas. We have recently switched to formula so I am outlining those favorites here.
- Baby Brezza – This is the keurig for babies! 1000% worth your money. WE LOVE IT. Everyone who comes over is like wow that is amazing. It makes your bottles in 2 seconds warm and the perfect amount of ounces. You can get 20% off with the code ‘Alaina’ (any order over $75)
- Bottles – Asher loves the Comotomo bottles.
- Bottle Brush – our fave
- Asher is about to start solids, so I will do a whole blog post on that separately. We did get this high chair and this feeding set.
SLEEP
- Monitor – We have the lollipop set up in his room, but before we went on a trip we bought this cheap good baby one and I LOVE it. It is awesome for the price.
- Mattress – This one was cheaper than the newton and we really like it!!
- Sheets – The burts bees and brooklinen are my favorite.
- Sleep Sack – 100% Kyte Baby. So snuggly
- Swaddle – Ollie Swaddle is all you need during the newborn phase. We LOVED ours. I would buy one of these over 6 cheap ones.
- Sleepers – we love the kyte baby and these from target.
- Snuggle me Organic – for the newborn days this is AMAZING. Preston says it is our number 1 must have.
- Hatch Sound Machine – The best hands down. We have 3 different sound machines and I wish we only had this brand.
GEAR
- Nuna Mixx 2 Stroller & Nuna Pipa Light Carseat – We love it! I feel like we didn’t necessarily need the light for $100 more looking back. Don’t get me wrong I love it. Just not sure if this one isn’t close to as good for $100 less. Oh we also have the bassinet and it is great for those newborn days!
- Doona – We use the Doona SO MUCH. We travel a good amount so this is great for planes. It is also nice because you don’t need a base or to bring another stoller.
- 4 moms mamaroo – okay we like this, but do not love it. I like that we have it, but probably wouldn’t have spent the money on it looking back. It can’t hurt, but Asher doesn’t just love it. This is where every baby is so different. I hope baby number 2 loves it!
- Baby Bjourn Bouncer – We use this multiple times a day. I LOVE this. I would get this over the mamaroo personally.
- 4 moms pack n play – we LOVE it so easy to use and looks nice! We use these sheets. I’ve also heard great things about this one that my friend is registering for that is a little cheaper.
- Baby Bjourn carrier mini – This is a MUST. Preston and I both use it. Very easy and quick to put them in.
- Solly baby wrap – I love this one for me and especially when Asher was a newborn. We still use it now though!
PLAY
- Lovevery – Play gym. This is the only thing you need for the first few weeks. We did the play gym along side the monthly subscription and it is ALL we use. We try not to buy him other toys besides this. We are doing more of a montessori approach. I have a code for ______
- Randomly this moose is Ashers FAVE haha
CLOTHES FAVORITE STORES
- Kyte Baby – for sleepers and sleep sacks!
- H&M – Cute boy clothes
- Gap & Old Navy – good basics.
- Zara – has some of my favorites for little boys from 6 months and up.
- Target – Lot’s of great stuff for fall recently
I am going to share my fall capsule wardrobe I put together for Asher later this week!!
