As a new mama or even a second time mama, third, etc. It can definitely feel like you have no idea what you’re doing. From clothes to bottles to cribs, pacifiers, high chairs and more. It’s a lot to take in and can make your mind explode at the thought of it all.
I just had my 3rd baby in October & as I prepared for her I wanted to make sure I was getting the best and the necessary! I’ve put together a list of my Top baby items. I am so grateful I was able to make my vision come true.
I had searched and searched for the perfect crib for our space. If you haven’t seen my blog on her half nursery check it out here. Anyways being she was only able to have half a nursery we needed something small yet functional of course. I’m so glad we went with the Nestig Cloud Crib. It works as a MINI CRIB. Yes a mini crib which is so perfect but then it transitions to a full size crib then toddler bed. So it’s super functional and will work for years and year. Plus the aesthetic is just GORGEOUS! They offer many designs and are even selling mobiles now. Check them all out here.
This is something I even used with my son 4 years ago. We absolutely love snuggle me organic loungers and even the nursing pillow. These are must haves in my opinion. It’s perfect for when I’m trying to get work done and she wants to be close to mama. Just lay it by me and lay her in it and she’s comfy and feels like she’s being snuggled by mama. The nursing pillow ofcourse is absolutely a life savor. It makes feedings so much easier and comfy! If you are breastfeeding or even bottle feeding this is a must! Worth every single penny. Check out the products here.
Another product we’ve used since my son was a baby. Parasol Co is a MUST HAVE. Obviously you need diapers and wipes for your baby but I’ve never used a diaper like parasol. These are breathable, natural, chemical free. These diapers are so insanely soft and they have a rash-shield fabric. No blowouts. These diapers are a must have and the wipes. I promise I can’t rave enough. Wait, did I mention they even come straight to your door every single month? You pick how often, what size and can change it anytime. No more late night diaper runs. They offer many other natural chemical free products as well. Check them out HERE.
Ok yet another product we have used since my son was a baby. We absolutely love the Mamaroo. They even offer a Rockaroo which I haven’t used myself but I wish I did! We have the clean bath as well (life savor) especially as a first time mom you always worry if the water is cold or hot or just right. Well with the tub you don’t have to worry because it tells you and it even keeps clean water in the tub. It’s honestly the best and I wish I had this for all my babies. I promise I you need. We also have the play yard and Mamaroo as well as bassinet in the bedroom. We can’t rave enough about these products. I’m a busy person and always going from room to room. Especially with two other kids to take care of, a house, etc. So having the bassinet that sways is a life savor in itself. When she sits up by herself the play yard is going to come in handy as it’s the easiest one i’ve ever had when it comes to opening/closing. 4 moms offers so many amazing products and each one is worth every penny.
I actually saw Design Dua while scrolling instagram before I even got pregnant with my October baby & I knew when we had our 3rd it was a must. It’s absolutely perfect to bring to the kitchen while I’m doing dishes or cooking or even the living room while I’m getting work done. It’s so easy to lift from the stand and take to park for a picnic or to grandma’s for Sunday meals. It’s so beautiful and handmade so definitely worth it. We also got the matching basket for diapers changes on her dresser. It matches perfect. We use ours both daily! From the day she was born! She’s 8 months old now and we still use! They have so many gorgeous baskets to choose from and I promise you’ll get such good use out of either item! Check them all out here!
This was actually something I searched and searched and searched some more for. This little slice of heaven keeps her occupied for ever! She’s so happy when she’s playing with it and loves to chew on them also since she’s teething now. I bought the new hangers from amazon actually because I liked the rainbow and white/wood aesthetic more! I’ll link that as well as the play gym.
Play Gym HERE.
Finn & Emma HERE.
The little lounger under the play mat is from Finn & Emma. I seriously knew I had to have this when I saw it. It’s gorgeous, practical and easy to travel with as well! All in all I definitely recommend. Especially for under the play gym.
I searched and searched to find the perfect travel system. Having two other kids I needed something practical and easy to use. This was it! it’s so easy to fold/unfold the stroller and I absolutely love that the carseat is actually 3 pieces. When the baby gets a bit heavier it’s an amazing option to be able to just grab the inner seat and carry with the straps Vs. the entire carseat! It’s the only nesting system I’ve ever seen! We would absolutely use this with any other baby we have. It’s really that good!
I got so many compliments and questions on where I got her little rocker from. It’s so gorgeous, so many designs to choose from and she absolutely loves it. You can honestly never have to many options when it comes to babies. We love taking this outside and just hanging out while I drink my morning coffee. Grab it HERE!
When it comes to clothes, I don’t like bright, neon, a ton of designs looking to busy. I love neutrals, boy or girl neutrals always work. This is why we love these two brands for clothes. They are not only gorgeous and my style but they last forever. The quality of these is incredible which is why I’m offering a discount code as well. They last quite awhile and you can get so many uses out of them and they still look brand new (make sure to follow wash instructions) They offer rompers, onesies, knit sweater, womens, booties, blankets, knits, crib sheets and more! Check them out here!
Use code BABYBUMPS for 15% off. Shop HERE.
This is a favorite as well. Neutral, gorgeous tones and buttery soft! If you love gorgeous simple neutral designs and colors then these two shops are for you! The quality is absolutely amazing and you won’t be disappointed. Mebie Baby also offers mittens, booties, crib sheets, burp rags, etc. If you’re like me you love to match things. This is the place to go!
I honestly have so many other brands i’d recommend so i’ll probably do another blog for those ones but, there you have it. My top 10 favorite and must have baby brands for that newest little in your life. These would even be the perfect gift for that new expecting mama or friend in your life. Who wouldn’t love any of this as a gift? Thanks so much for reading friend and make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss any updates.
