Today I’m going to talk about my top 10 favorite newborn products that have worked wonders for my sweet Layla who is 4 months old. What are some of your must haves?
- Doona I started off with a different travel system and had such a hard time attaching the carseat to the stroller. The last thing you want after having a baby is to be standing in the Target parking lot struggling to set up your stroller, especially after a cesarean. The Doona has made running errands and traveling an absolute breeze. All you have to do is press a button behind the carseat and the wheels pop out.
- Swaddle Me There are so many things I had to learn right after having a baby, swaddling was one of the hardest for me. I could not figure out how to keep her snuggled and neither could the nurses! Layla would break out of the swaddle in no time. My friend Karley told me about these and they are not only a game changer but extremely affordable!
- Nanit I absolutely love the Nanit System. The monitor has a built in sound machine, night light and two way speaker. One of my favorite features is that you can unmount the camera and put it on a mini stand for traveling! We have been using the breathing wear bands.
- Baby Brezza Bottle Sterilizer My favorite part of this sterilizer is that it dries my pump parts! I use the Willow pump and if I have them drying on the counter overnight they will still be wet by morning. This has a 30, 45 and 60 minute cycle. Not only is it nice to have sterilized bottles, pacifiers and pump parts, but its also great to have a place to store them.
- MediFrida Giving a baby medicine is one thing, having them swallow it is another. This takes out all the stress! Just dispense the medicine as your baby is pacifying.
- Comotomo Bottles These bottles feel exactly like a breast and the wide mouth makes them SO easy to clean.
- Marpac Rohm Portable Sound Machine Layla loves white noise, this is great for when you’re out and about and want to keep baby asleep.
- Tubby Todd All Over Ointment I had heard many people talk about this and thought this was another fad product… it’s not. This product is amazing for heat, baby acne, dry skin, diaper rash, you name it. I’ve also used it on my face for my rosacea and it has helped get rid of my dry skin as well as the bumps I get from flare ups.
- DockATot Not only is it great for naps, I cover it in a towel and place Layla in it after her bath and she can’t roll out of it.
- Snoo I know this is pricey, but I promise that your sleep is worth it. This will keep your baby on their back and also rocks them when they cry.
