Newborn Baby Shopping List
So… this is way overdue. Last year around this time I received a baby carrier from Baby Bjorn and it set off a huge nesting alarm; what the heck did I need when I got home from the hospital – and by what I need, I mean what I needed for Louis. This does not include decor or toys, but I did add a little extra on online shops I love.
MISC
Diapers by Coterie – you will need these when you want to take photos of the baby. Can also bring to hospital.
Swaddlers Diapers by Pampers – let’s just say, less mess. Recommend size 1 for newborn. Get a size 2 just in case.
Baby Wipes by Honest – I’ve used them all, love these from Honest.
A+D Ointment – Verrrrrrry important, nothing worse than a diaper rash!
Diaper Pale by Munchkin – this one has Arm and Hammer inside to get rid of smell, I like it, it does the job.
Baby Thermometer by Braun – I have this, I love it. You just place it on their forehead.
Gas Relief by Milicon – Most babies have colic… this helps gas. Trust me. Also, ask Dr. before you use!
Baby Tylenol – Just in case.
Infant Pacifier by Philips Avent – Babies love these, especially newborns.
Stain Remover by OxyClean – You’re kid is gonna spit up everywhere.
Detergent by Honest – Clean detergent. Does the job. Love it.
Changing Table by Delta – Great price and meets safety standards. You can change hardware to match the room.
Baby Swing by Fisher Price – If you need to place your baby somewhere to relax while you do things. I’ve used fancy ones, and this one is honestly the best.
Changing Pad by GOTS – for changing baby. You’ll stop using around 5 months if your kid is active.
Changing Pad Covers – You’ll want to switch it up.
Newborn Essentisals Kit by Frida Baby – Love this brand so much, they are known for their postpartum kits, but this one is amazing and we love it.
