Baby’s need a lot of stuff but what’s REALLY essential?

We all know that baby’s need a lot of stuff but what’s REALLY essential? With my firstborn, I thought I had to have everything that anyone mentioned for my baby. When my baby got here, I found out what I really needed for him and what was only used a few times! By the time my second and third baby arrived, I was a pro!

Baby’s need a lot of stuff but what’s REALLY essential?

I put together a helpful list of some essentials for your baby! Things that will help you through those rough patches and keep you both entertained and comfy!

*Baby Shusher – The Soothing Sleep Miracle for Babies. I have not personally used this particular product, but I have and do use a sound machine. When my babies were tiny, this is the ONLY way both of us could sleep.

The Baby Shusher is kind of like a sound machine. The Baby Shusher sleep device is one of the only products on the market that uses a recorded human voice to help a baby sleep.

The Sleep Shusher also features rhythmic ‘shushes‘ recorded which can play for up to 30 minutes at a time. The Baby Shusher is great for getting your baby to sleep in their crib, stroller, car, or anywhere your baby can sleep, even when on the go. You can also control the volume which is really nice. The Baby Shusher Retails for $34.99 and can be purchased on Amazon.com or on buybuybaby.com.

*Breast Pump. If you plan on breastfeeding your baby, I absolutely recommend a breast pump. I used mine ALL the time but that is because I had some issues with breastfeeding. My babies would only feed off one side! So, I exclusively pumped the other side every time I breastfed my babies! I don’t know what I would have done without it.

Forget the huge, loud, and complicated automatic breast pumps that cost a lot of money. The Haakaa Silicone Breast Pump with a suction base and flower stopper has caught my eye!

This 100% food-grade, eco-friendly, and simple-to-use breast pump will change your life – truly. Fits perfectly into any handbag or baby bag and requires no hard work.

Also the best travel pump you will find! Made from 100% medical-grade silicone, this compact pump is perfect for long-distance trips, planes, car rides, family BBQs or anywhere you would like to discretely express, quickly. Simply suction to your breast and let the pump do the work for you as it draws your milk using suction. 100% eco-friendly and safe for mom, baby, and our environment!

The cute little silicone flower stopper is perfect for this breast pump and is too cute! This little stopper sits tight in the neck of your Haakaa breast pump and will stop any spills or accidents.

Made from 100% food-grade silicone and will fit in both 4 oz (100 ml) and 5 oz(150 ml) size breast pumps. Retails for $9.99 and comes in 4 different flowers/colors! So fun! Purchase it online at Target.com (in-store too) or Amazon.com.

 

*The Marcus & Marcus Organic Rattle is made from 100% certified organic cotton and free from harmful chemicals.

The rattle is also phthalate-free and free from harmful chemicals.
