10 Essential Items for Your Newborn Baby
Sometimes it can feel like you need everything to prepare for your baby. I get it. AND, I’m here to tell you actually don’t need much! Cozy organic clothing, diapers, wipes, receiving blankets, bouncing chair and a swaddle - you’re all set with some of the basics!
I love this swaddle. This multi-award-winning zip-up swaddle allows your baby to sleep in a more natural ARMS UP™ position. Unique patented wings allow natural ARMS UP™ position for true SELF-SOOTHING, which leads to more sleep. If swaddling becomes necessary due to overstimulation, this swaddle provides a soft, cozy feel with the opportunity for baby to soothe with hands near their face.
Through years of experience, I’ve come to understand that ease promotes ease. Clothes that are difficult to put over the baby’s head or with a lot of snaps are cumbersome and frustrating. Onesies with zippers in the early days are less time consuming and make handling diaper changes so much easier. This signature two-part closure system in mitts and boots ensures scratch and germ protection and allows adjustable fit as baby grows. These naturally antimicrobial and environmentally sustainable clothes are machine washable and soft to the touch.
Plus, it’s a women-owned company, and these ladies do great work in the world.
Under the Nile Organic Cotton Baby Side Snap Kimono
My second favorite is Kimono style baby clothes. Fewer snaps, yet still not pulling anything over the head of the baby.
This Kimono is made of ultra-soft 100% organic Egyptian Cotton, with a one-piece side-snap perfect for every newborn baby.
With their absorbent cotton, these newborn burp cloths are super soft on baby’s skin and are a must-have essential for on the go, feeding your newborn baby - or just about everything else.
BABYBJORN Bouncer Bliss Convertible Mesh Baby Bouncer
Baby-powered and battery-free, this ergonomically designed bouncer supports your baby's back, neck and head as it rocks gently to every kick and wiggle. This bouncer is breathable and super bouncy for baby to hang out in.
Basic, lightweight, and breathable organic Egyptian cotton muslin swaddle blanket is essential for every newborn and baby. This multipurpose blanket (cover, padding, blanket) is great to have everywhere – car, stroller, nursery, etc.
Made for swaddling your baby in warmth, these white basic swaddle blankets are essential for every baby. Made of butter-soft organic Egyptian combed cotton, these baby swaddle blankets are as gentle as a mom's touch while hugging your baby in snug warmth. Having these blankets handy at all times allows me to expose the baby’s skin to the softness of this material while I am holding them. They launder great and are great to have around if an unexpected cleanup is necessary.
Coyuchi Cloud Brushed Organic Flannel Receiving Blanket
This plush blanket with a natural finish is gentle against the most sensitive skin. Naturally wrinkle-resistant and crafted to last, this weighty, six-ounce Cloud Brushed Organic Flannel is brushed into a velvety finish that’s soft enough for babies and provides the same comfort and security of the blanket they came home in — minus the harsh chemicals and dyes. Turned hems with mitered corners make it soft and supple all around, finishing off the perfect lightweight baby blanket for transitional weather and light layering. This is the ultimate blanket for baby snuggles.
