My Top 9 Newborn Essentials

Hey guys!

Little Sage has been in the world for a little over 3 weeks and my husband and I have QUICKLy learned what works and what does not work for us. I have complied a list of items that we (and Sage) currently love. I know that 9 is a weird number but I could not get 10 pictures to fit in my collage so 9 it is! πŸ™‚

#1 Baby Brezza Bottle Sterilizer

We throe just about everything in here! Pump parts, pacifiers, bottles…it all goes in here. The best part about it is that it has time settings so you can choose how long you want the sterilizing cycle to run (30 min, 45 min, or 60 min). This is a great feature because if you are running behind on getting the bottles together, you can run a shorter cycle so that your items will be ready sooner. It also has settings for just drying or just sterilizing just in case you don’t need to run both features at once.

#2 Halo DreamNest Plus

Loveee this! The mattress is mesh so if Sage rolls over he can still breathe. The deff gives me peace of mind when he’s napping and when its bed time. It also has a changing table that you can attach to it. So if you live in a small space, like we currently do, you don’t have to set up a changing area and a sleeping area. Everything is all in one space.

#3 Lionheart Wipe Warmer

I was on the fence about this but D decided to just make the purchase and see how it goes. I am soooo glad that he did because baby Sage lovesss these on his little bum. They make changing time a little (just a little) less chaotic.

#4 Louloulollipop Swaddles

Sage loves swaddles and these are by far the softest ones that we have. They also come in sooo many cute prints that are so hard to pass up.

#5 DockATot

I personally loveee this one because I can put Sage on the bed while were are watching TV or on the computer without worrying about him rolling off of the bed.

#6 FridaBaby Humidifier

#7 Nuna Pipa Lite LX Infant Carseat

#8 BabyBum Diaper Cream Brush

Saves your hands from being covered in thick diaper rash cream

#9 FridaBaby NoseFrida

This product was recommended to me by just about every one of my mom friends. I will admit that I was grossed out by the concept of it because I thought snot and boogers got in your mouth (lol!) but I assure you that this does not happen. This is a lifer saver and wayyyy better than the bulb the hospital gives you because you can actually see it working. We have about three of them laying around our apartment right now.
