Newborn Necessities

First time mama and LOTS of trial and errors when buying things for your first babe! I did do lots of research in watching many YouTube mamas, lots of blog posts, and some family suggestions!  Here are a few of MY top favorites for newborn necessities ( remember what works for me may not work for you) 

• 

Baby Bum – Coconut balm – this was my favorite thing to put on a newborn ( especially if they are summer babies!) this cream is so soft, gentle and smells amazing! It helps so much with dry skin, and great on sensitive skin! When my babe had cradle cap I would put a little on her scalp and it did wonders! –

Sudo cream – The inexpensive diaper cream! This stuff works wonders, and is so gentle, helped when newborn baby acne, and cradle cap as well!

Skip & Hop Changing Pad-  there are so many changing pads similar to this one, I just prefer skip and hop brand. This changing pad is so soft, easy to clean and has a good look for any baby room!

Beaba Babycook Baby Food Maker – BEST THING EVER! This thing steams and blends your baby food so perfectly! HIGHLY recommend it you will not need till about 4-6 months

Wooden Teethers – Not only are they cute, but they really do the job for your little ones as they start teething! You can find these all over Instagram, baby shows, and amazon has them as well!

Comotomo Bottle – One of my favorite bottles! This bottle is soft silicone and its easy for your babes to transition from nursing to self feeding. I find that my little one finds its super easy to hold this bottle as its skin-like, soft and squeezable. This is also BPA FREE and they have replacement nipples that grow with your baby!

Lifefactory Glass Bottle– Another one of my favorite bottles – it comes with a soft silicone sleeve to protect the bottle, dishwasher safe, FDA approved, and it is compatible with a range of life factory caps for extended bottle use!

Beaded Pacifier Clips– These are super cute, and super handy to make sure your pacifiers don’t fall on the ground! You can get these anywhere from amazon, Instagram small business, and west coast kids has a big variety.

Johnson&Johnson Baby Wash (cotton touch) When you smell this you will automatically love it, its super gentle on your babes skin, and I find my babes skin comes out super soft! You can really find this anywhere!

Bibs Pacifiers – MY FAVORITE of all time! These are super amazing, the nipple grows with your babies and its simply just the best! I have tried all the other brands and nothing compares to this one!

4moms MAMAROO – Game Changer my little one LOVED this so much it provides your babe with realistic rocking and swaying. There are 5 different rocks included, and also plays music if you connect your iPod to it! It also has three mobile toy bar which included a mirror, crinkle and a rattle! We had our babe in this from the day she was born and it was amazing! NOT RECOMMENDED AS A NIGHT TIME SLEEPER.

Motorola Portable baby Monitor – This is a MUST have so you can see what your babe is up to when you transition them to their crib or nap time up in their bassinet as a new born. This awesome baby monitor has 5 lullabies, its portable, wireless, night vision, room temp displayed, microphone, and much more

Headbands – I got all of mine from ALIEXPRESS and some from west coast, you can also find some from amazon, and Instagram! They look look with any swaddle, and baby outfit ALSO if you check out URBAN BOW she makes the best handmade bows

Knotted Gown – In the middle of the night when you need to change your newborn, you’ll really appreciate this item! This is the mot convenient baby item out there! The one I love is sold on westcoast.ca www.westcoastkids.ca/knottted-gown-1 They have really cute colors and the material is so soft and stretchy! They even have built in over scratch mittens. Your little babe will be so comfy! 

SWADDLES -  MY FAVORITE you can find them in the cutest patterns, to the most plain simple ones and they are still so cute! When your baby is a newborn these are amazing for almost everything! My favorite brand are the ones from target ( not sold in Canada ) but also you can get them from westcoast.ca and they have a HUGE selection!
