My mom gave me some great advice, don’t buy anything until your baby shower. See what people will give you for free and then fill in the gaps after the shower
Hey, I totally get that feeling! It can be overwhelming, but you've got this. Feeding Essentials: -Bottles (even if you plan to breastfeed): Comotomo or Dr. Brown’s are great. -Breast pump (if you plan to pump): Spectra or Medela are reliable brands. -Nursing pillow: Boppy or My Brest Friend. Sleeping Essentials -Bassinet: Halo or SNOO (if you’re considering a smart bassinet). -Swaddles: Love to Dream or SwaddleMe are lifesavers. -White noise machine: Hatch is a fan favorite. Diapering Essentials -Diapers: Start with Pampers or Huggies (but try a few brands to see what works best). -Wipes: WaterWipes are gentle on newborn skin. -Diaper cream: Boudreaux’s Butt Paste or Aquaphor are great choices. Bathing Essentials -Baby tub: Angelcare or Blooming Bath. -Gentle wash and shampoo: Mustela or Aquaphor. Clothing Essentials -Newborn onesies and zip-up sleepers (Kyte Baby or Burt’s Bees for soft and cozy options). -Mittens or built-in mittens on onesies to prevent scratching.
Gear -Stroller and car seat: Uppababy or Chicco KeyFit. -Baby carrier: Ergobaby or BabyBjörn. Other helpful thing -Baby monitor: Nanit or Owlet. -Bouncer or swing: BabyBjörn bouncer or 4moms MamaRoo. You don't need everything all at once, but these are good basics to get started with.
