The baby necessities below made life a little easier after Sophie's arrival 3 years ago, and we plan to use them all again with the new baby. Many of these things I didn't know about before becoming a mom, so I thought I would share this helpful list with you in case you need some ideas for your baby registry. You can click on any of the links below to purchase these products directly from Amazon.
Samsung Wireless Video Baby Monitor
A baby monitor will give you the peace of mind to know that your baby is safe even when you can't be in the same room. This Samsung model was our choice, with a 3.5" high quality color LCD display, and night vision which allows for low light viewing up to 15ft.
Beco Gemini Baby Carrier
I highly recommend the Beco Gemini. It's definitely the most comfortable baby carrier on the market! It's waist strap design and the ability to cross the straps in the back take all the pressure off your shoulders. It offers a front, back or hip carrying position for the baby, and adjusts to fit newborns without a separate infant insert. Plus, it's invaluable for being able to walk around hands-free.
Fisher-Price Rock n' Play Sleeper
Do you have a baby that always wants to be held and wakes up the second you put them down in the crib? The nice deep pocket Rock N Play Sleeper is perfect for cradling your baby. It was a lifesaver for us!
aden + anais Muslin Swaddle Blanket
We
must've received 30 different blankets when Sophie was born but the
muslin ones are best for swaddling and snuggling. They are so breathable
and lightweight, and you'll continue to get use out of them even when
the baby is too old to be swaddled. Sophie still sleeps with one of hers
at 3 years old.
aden + anais Muslin Zip-Up Sleeping Bag
A zip-up blanket eliminates the danger of the blanket covering the baby's head while sleeping. Pick up a couple lightweight ones of muslin or cotton for summer and fleece ones for winter.
This is a must-have for nursing mothers. It helps support the baby in the correct position, and can also be used to prop the baby up for sitting or tummy time.
Sensible Lines Milk Trays
These trays are better for freezing breast milk than bags because you can freeze milk in 1 oz. sticks which defrost easily. Using these trays allows you to take out only what you need rather than defrosting a whole bag which could waste milk if you only need a couple ounces.
Fresh Baby So Easy Baby Food Trays
I made most of Sophie's baby food. These trays are perfect for freezing baby food in 1 ounce servings.
Itzbeen Pocket Nanny Baby Care Timer
This handy timer has 4 buttons which track how long it's been since the baby has been fed, changed, slept, and a "free" button you can use to track anything you wish. There is also a switch on the button so you can remember if the baby nursed from the left or right side at the last feeding. Trust me, when you are sleep deprived and juggling a zillion different things, this timer will help keep you on track! I have it packed in my hospital bag ready to go!
Boppy Changing Pad Liners
Just place on of these on the changing table, and if the baby has an accident (which newborns so often do) simply remove the liner and replace it with another so you don't have to remove and wash the whole changing pad cover. We bought 3 packs of these and it was well worth it.
Get one of these when your baby is old enough to sit up so that they are fully protected from shopping cart germs.
Udder Covers Breast Feeding Nursing Cover
Udder Covers has many prints / styles to choose from. The top has boning which allows you to get a clear look at baby while still covering up for privacy.
BabyGanics Hiney Helper Diaper Cream
There's lot of different diaper creams out there but this one is the best!

Medela Tender Care Lanolin Cream
If you are nursing, this is the best lanolin on the market. Don't bother buying anything else!
BabyGanics Tub Time Extra Gentle Bubble Bath and Body Wash
This body wash is made from natural products and won't dry baby's skin. It can be used as a body wash, shampoo and bubble bath.
Well friends, this is my last post before the baby's arrival. I will be induced early tomorrow morning! I know my posting will probably be sporadic over the next couple months as I focus on family, but I do have several projects in the works and a few draft posts saved so you will be hearing from me periodically. Please pray for a smooth delivery and healthy baby!
Linking to these parties!
